Three hundred and fifty prospectors,
the first party of stampeders to reach
the new Iditarod gold fields have ar
rived at Iditarod City, Alaska, from
Fairbanks after a three weeks trip
down the Yukon river. All agree that
the stampede will be the greatest
since the famous rush to the Klondike
thirteen years ago, but many of the
old-time gold seekers are pessimistic
over the prospects for getting sudden
wealth from the gravel along the
banks of the Iditarod and Inoko rivers
Conservative estimates place the num-
ber of prospectors who will arrive
there during the early summer at 81
600. Many men now on the ground ex-
press the opinion that the summer
camp will not support more than 1000
miners and that large numbers of the
late comers are doomed to disappoint-
ment.
