Description
Summary:Pioneer Resort Of Alaska Burns. PIONEER RESORT OF ALASKA BURNS DAWSON. T. T., Oct. 19.—The Last Chance hotel, a. famous pioneer resort on Hunker creek, was burned early today, it was learned here tonight. William Prledo, the owner, narrowly escaped being burned to death. Ice closed the Yukon river here Sunday, the earliest closing on record. Temperature dropped to 10 degrees below zero today. This city has no fear of meat shortage this winter with thousands of cariboo roaming in great herds up to the very outskirts of Dawson. Every house in the city has been stocked up with cariboo for the winter and It is estimated there are at least 30,000 of the animals running at large in the vicinity.
