Vice President. Only year or two ago the big
bear and Arctic fox roamed here in undisturbed
wilderness. Now there fifty square miles of
PLACER gold mines, and perhaps six thousand people.
The atmosphere is feverish. Wide open doors
that lead to primitive streets show gamblers at
the tables night and day. One recent month miner
who cleaned up thirty-six thousand dollars went
into Fairbanks and lost it in night.
These Alaskan towns grow like lJonah's gourd;
some of them wither and die quickly. 1t depends
upon the mines. strike is reported elsewhere;
its details magnifed they come over hundreds of
miles of frozen waste. Golden Nome was barren
sandy beach where Eskimo fishermen roamed
and wrecked whalers got their bearings. To-day
Nome has an estimated population of ten thousand;
and narrow gage railroad, one of the most
northerly in the world, bears fussy little engines
this way and that with necessities and queer lux
uries. Side by side with it the dog team ambles,
hauling sled or drag, piled high with miners tools
and baggage.
Needless to say our missionaries were on the spot
long ago; but vast indeed is the field and all too
few the laborers What is needed is a man of the
temper and spirit of William Taylor. who when San
Francisco was in the same stage could make pulpit
of dry goods box, sing like seraph, and preach
like an apostle.
