It was just 40 years ago this month—on July 18. 1897. to be exact—that news flashed throughout United States that gold had been discovered in. fabulous amounts in the Yukon-Klondike region of Alaska. This was the signal for a mad rush by thousands from “the states” Every available ship

DAWSON. Alaska—It was just 40 years ago this week on July 18, 1897, to he exact that the historic gold rush to the Yukon began, bringing undreamed of wealth to thousands and tragedy and heart-break to other thousands. One of the most romantic chapters in the history of the North American continent began when the news broke in “the states” that gold had been discovered in fabulous amounts in Alaska, firing the desire and ami hition of men to brave hardships and I sacrifice security that they might have a chance at sudden riches. First intimation that the land which the United States had acquir ed tr mi Russia was a virtual treasure house came with arrival of the steamer Excelsior in San Francisco from Alaska with a cargo of gold valued in excess of $500,000. Further confirmation was needed, how ever, before many of the skeptics

were convinced of the rich strikes which were being made in the vicin-

ity of Dawson.

There was little doubt left, though, when the freighter Portland docked at Seattle with more than $2.000 000 of the precious metal. News of this signaled the beginning of a mad rush

for the far north.

Included in the army which jammo i every boat leaving for Alaska were people of all types gamblers, tenderhooks, veteran prospectors, merchants, entertainers and drifters. Many of them carried but little in the way of equipment or provisions ind were miserably qualified to meet the difficult conditions which they

faced on arrival.

So great was the demand for passenger accommodations that insufficient room was left on the package freighters to carry supplies for the ever-growing Alaskan population As a result, food prices soared to unbe-

wealth.

licvable heights in

taurants charged a dollar for an order of baked beans, 50 cents for a cup of coffee and $5 for even the

most ordinary snack.

Despite the financial difficulties and the hazards of climate, more than 20.500 journeyed to the Yukon within a few months after the news first reached the United States. But many of these were soon discouraged and returned to “the states,” broke

and disappointed.

The section where most of the gold tush was concentrated was an area not more than 800.miles square. The first actual strike was made by G W. McCormack on Aug, 16. 1896. but it was not until a year later than the rush actually started. The exhaustion of the bonanza placers gave way to establishment of modern mining camps which now produce about $5,000 000 worth of gold annually.
