who have had no time to stake out
their own claims.
As soon as tney finish blazing
their markers, clsim holders are
moving their tents onto their
claims. Hence, Alaska's newest I
town Is stretcning steadily along tne '
South river shore In a long thin line !
of canvas shelters.
'Yukon Stoves' I
Old timers, of which there are '
many here! brought along Yukon i
stoves five gallon cans wun draft
vents for burning wood along with ,
sleeping bsgs, tools and grub. Their
shelters are comiortable gathering!
places for prospectors wno are talk- j
Ing hourly of one subject gold. '
Others who came equipped only
with sleeping bags are not so com
fortable in the chill nignt air.
Each man la entitled to two
claims of SO acres each. Staking a
claim consist merely of blazing the
tour corners and marking the
claimant's name and the post num
ber on each blaze.
Claims Identified
Claims are being designated here
by name or number, the number
usually running in sequence. Those
electing to name their s use such
names aa "May Ann'' or "Chief
Luke." the latter being the claim
neld by the chief of the native vil
large at Port Yukon.
My claim was tne 20th along the
river but designated aa "Number ,
One South Chief Luke."
Looking around. It appears there .
Is no definite type ot man who ans- ;
wers the flail ot gold. Here on the;
edge of the Arctic circle are gath-
ered a group of bearded, agile men
wearing lumberjack boots, coon
skin cap and representing everr I
profession from airplane pilot to 1
tile setter. They are bound together ;
by the common hope of quick easy
riches.
Quiet-spoken Clifton Carrol,
whose discovery touched off the me
lt, summed up the thoughts of
many men when he said:
"I don't know how good this Is.
Nobody does yet. I know we found
gold In the fishwheel. I know what
I hope we find in the ground."
