Stampede Of Miners From Alaska Yukon Diggings
The past week saw a large drift of stampeders from Alaska into the Shusana river area near the Alaska Yukon boundary. About 20 miners left Thursday in small boats, with the Nancy Bell sailing at 9 oclock that evening carrying many bound for the Tanana river region. The Mabel, Martin Moran, and Jack Flannagan launch is set to depart at noon today with a full passenger load including notable Fairbanks residents. The Pioneer notes the rush appears overblown and questions the motive behind a stampede praised as a major opportunity by some yet cautioned by others. A famous operator warned his son against joining the rush, while street chatter suggests limited verified prospects.
