image thumbnail Lowell Cabin, Beaver City Alaska Title taken from caption. "11528 -- (10) The cost of constructing cabins in the Klondike during the latter part of 1897 was considerable. Logs were selling at $50 apiece, and wages were from $15 to $20 per day. An ordinary one-room cabin required an outlay of from $700 to $1,000, according to finish. If a rough-board partition was desired, $150 had to be added to the cost. Several two-story buildings, 25x80 feet in size, were constructed in Dawson at a cost of from $12,000 to $20,000 each. In the more remote isolated camps the cost of construction could only be estimated by the amount of leisure time available and the timber supply.Beaver City is located on one of the tributaries of the Koyukuk, a considerable distance north from the big bend of the Yukon, and the scene represented in this view is that of a small cabin in which a little party of gold-seekers passed the winter of 1898-99 in a most comfortable manner.""John P.

image thumbnail Miner's Banquet, Beaver City, Alaska. Title taken from caption. "11511 -- (11) The participants at this festive board were all members of one party, and the banquet was given by the leader of the party and his wife to show their appreciation of the building of the log cabin for winter quarters, which the united efforts of the band of willing workers had hastily brought to completion.
