Alaska message from Bates traces a risky trek and hope
Voice from Alaska recounts John L. Bates and his son Charles reaching Anvil City after a year and a half in Alaska. Bates reports wages of eight to ten dollars for mining and one dollar per hour for other work, the harsh climate, health issues, and the lure of wages while noting his son’s tempting $100 monthly offer. The letter paints mining towns, monthly mails, and harsh conditions as a stark backdrop to frontier opportunity.
