When the great cut in the rock hill

were two other homes on the south
side of Prospect avenue between 35th

Elmer J. White, recently American con-

'"The woman was over seventy-f1ve
years Of age, but she had enough
nerve to come north with the rush. She
had no money to get over the trail.

at from az to so cents each, the cur

old that she aroused sympathy, and q
rich miner would often give her S. for
a paper and tell her to keep the change,
I knew her we'll. I was then editor
of a paper at Skagway and she would
bring her money to me and ask me
to count it. She would sometimes have

told me how she came back to the MIN
ing camps of Hope and Sunrise and
how they affected her. Many of the old
prospectors whom she had known were
still there, and she felt that here was
her home and her friends. The result
was that she came back to Alaska,
bringing her daughter with her. and
when the work on the railroad began
she was one of the first on the ground
at the new town of Anchorage. She
came In with a stock of lumber and
canvas. and before rail was laid or
any excavation made she had put up
tents for eating and lodging down on
the fats. Her sleeping tent was
equipped with hunks one over the other
like those of a sleeping car. and each
bed brought her a dollar a night when
