Miners returning from Dawson. City
report that while provisions are scarce
a really worse problem that the gold
seekers have to face is the scarcity of
light, oil selling at $45 gallon and
candles at proportionately high rate.
Alaska has been represented as a
country rich in all minerals and pro-
ducing petroleum in abundance. If
necessity is the mother of invention, it
is wonder that some enterprising
klondiker does not bore for oil. A sue
cessful strike would be worth more than
all the gold claims on Bonanza creek or
anywhere else.
