image thumbnail Group of Malamuts, Allenkaket, Alaska Title taken from caption. "11507 -- (5) The stories we read of life in the Arctic usually persuade us to believe that only the most robust persons should venture into those latitudes, and then only when well provided with an ample wardrobe of frost-proof gowns. The tourist who visits this section of the world for the first time is apt to be somewhat surprised to see a group of tiny children rolling in the snow, and engaging in their native games with genuine glee, regardless of the fact that the thermometer registers a few degrees, more or less, below zero. In this view, a fond mother has called aside two of her young hopefuls, for the purpose of having their pictures taken in Nature's gallery, and a very pleasing picture it is. The cute, interested and innocent expressions on the faces of the children cannot fail to prove fascinating to everyone.""John P. Clum, U.S.P.O. Inspector and Lecturer."Copyright, 1900, by B. L. Singley Stereographic Library Collection, ca. 1800-1910;

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.
