Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hunting for Gold, or Adventures in Klondyke Two years ago a friend of mine went out to the Yukon Valley. From the letters he sent me I have written the following story; also, as a slight acknowledgment of my deep obligation, I beg to dedicate this work to him. Perhaps I may be blamed for getting my ad venturers too easily and quickly up to Dawson City. There are not many Argonauts so favoured by fate, I must admit, if my friend is to be believed; but I did not like to harrow the minds of my readers with too much realism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "occupies about a mile of the bank. It is at the junction of the Klondyke River with the Yukon River. It is here where the most valuable mining claims are being operated on a scale of profit that the world has hitherto never known. The entire country surrounding is teeming with mineral wealth. Copper, silver and coal can be found in large quantities, but little or no attention is now being paid to these valuable minerals, as every one is engaged in gold-hunting and working the extraordinary placer mining claims already located. The entire section is given up to placer mining. Very few claims had been filed for quartz mining. The fields of gold will not be exhausted in the near future. No man can tell what the end will be. From January to April, 1897, about $4,000,000 were taken out of the few placer claims then being worked. This was done in a territory not exceeding forty square miles. All these claims are located on Klondyke River and the little tributaries emptying into it, and the districts are known as Big Bonanza, Gold Bottom and Honker.[...]."

Download or read book Experiences of Gold Hunters in Alaska written by Charles Anson Margeson and published by [Hornellsville, N.Y.] : The author. This book was released on 1899 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences of Gold Hunters in Alaska is a classic account of the Valdez-Copper River phase of the great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 and a topnotch narrative of a real-life Alaskan adventure. Unlike most written histories of that gold rush that tell of the passage to Dyea or Skagway, over the Chilkoot Pass and White Pass, and down to the Klondike fields in Yukon, Charles Margeson tells the story that he and 3500 other gold seekers experienced as they traversed the Valdez Glacier and descended the Klutina River to the Copper River. The author describes his journey beginning in Missouri in 1897 and resulted in a trip from Seattle to Alaska and back to Seattle in 1898. The book covers the early story of Valdez and the hazards encountered in the Tonsena (now Tonsina) Valley. Although they discovered little gold, their quest made a difference for their efforts resulted in the exploration and development of much of Southcentral and Interior Alaska. They established the port city of Valdez which was to become the major transportation and shipping corridor from interior to coastal Alaska--a corridor now more famous for its black than yellow gold.
