preserve the atmosphere of the origi-
nal work. Main Street. in the city of
Nome, had been wrecked by a tidal
wave. and then eliminated by ERE
that followed when the ruins were
ali timber dry. With the aid of old
photographs, every detail was restor-
ed carefully for this .reincarnation Of
the famous placer mining town on
the bleak shores Of Bering Sea.
II may be recalled in the book.
that the miners. TO rebuke the law

shadow of legal advice. taken their
property, in revenge destroyed the
mining camp of Midas. This was
visualized in vivid style, as an old
mining settlement was purchased, and
blast after blast Of dynamite blew It
off the map. Over three months Of
working time was required to make
tThe Spoilers, necessitating the
carrying Of large company over vast
distances to secure It authentic 10
