ABSTRACT In July and August of 1993, staff from the Alaska Archaeological Survey unit of the Office of History and Archaeology (OHA), Alaska Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, conducted a historic structures survey in the town of Flat, Alaska. Tbe survey was carried out under a Cooperative Agreement between the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management and the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources to document and evaluate historic properties associated with the lditarod National Historic Trail. Located in southwest Alaska between the Kuskokwim and Yukon rivers, Flat was the largest mining camp in the lditarod mining district. Gold was discovered in Otter Creek in the winter of 1908 and the town of lditarod developed as the supply center for lhe district. Flat began as a small mining camp at the confluence of Flat and Otter creeks. By the 1920s, it supplanted lditarod as the supply center and largest town in the lditarod district. The residents built the town on mining claims. Flat also became an important destination on the lditarod Trail, which linked the remote mining camps and towns between Seward and Nome. Tbe claim holders and large scale mining operators blocked efforts to incorporate the town and Flat was never platted. Gold mining activity focused on the creeks surrounding PJat until the 1920s, when rich gold bearing gravels were discovered under the town. Between the l 920s and the 1960s, natural disasters artd several mining operators conducted large scale mining within the town, forcing merchants and residents to move their buildings. Over the years, mining activity transformed the appearance of the town. The buildings, structures and sites that survive iUustrate the historic themes of ruining, commerce and community development. During the 1993 survey, OBA staff inventoried 110 buildings, structures and sites in the town of Flat. They include 26 properties associated with mining activities, 24 properties associated with commerce, 61 properties used as residences, and nine properties associated with public buildings or facilities, such as the school, hospital, community hall, and post office. Ninety-nine of the properties date from 1910 to 1945, including 20 properties from the 1910s, 36 properties from the 1920s, 39 properties from the 1930s, and four properties from 1940 to 1945. More than half of Flat's buildings and structures were moved ac least once due to natural disasters and mining activities, a:nd many were moved two or three times. The historic fabric that remains in Flat is a second or third generation mining camp dating from the l 930s and early 1940s. The frontier street-scapes of the 1910s have disappeared. Thirty-seven properties were inventoried at four mining camps in the immediate area around Flat. Buildings, stmctures and sites documented near Flat date from the t 910s to the 1970s. They include 19 properties associated with the Riley/Otter Creek Camp, six properties associated with the Discovery/Peter Miscovi.ch Camp, one structure associated with the Riley Dredge, five propcnies associated with the Golden Hom Mine, and six properties associated with the Fullerton Camp on lower Flat Creek. These four camps and the Riley Dredge include two properties dating from the 19'10s, six properties dating from the 1920s, 14 properties dating from the t 930s, and one property dating from 1940-1945. Most of these buildings, structures and sites have heen moved, providing additional evidence of a tradition in the Flat area of moving buildings and structures. ii TABLE OF CON'rENIS ACKNOWILEDGEME.NTS . • . • . 1 .ABS'fAACT . ii TABLE Of CONTENTS ....................................... iii TABLE OF FIGURES ......................................... viii l:AB,LE t)F l 'A.B,LES .......................................... xvi lN1'lll0 1DlJCTION . 1 I-IlISTORIC CONl''I'EX.'r . • . • • . • . • • . 4 lrz·troductioM, . , . 4 Nature of the' gold deposits and early mi.111i.1tg dev'elopment . • . 4 Settlemenl of Flat and ldiw.rotf, 1908-1920 . ............................ 5 Flat durin·g fhe 192'0s an:d 1'93'()~, .................................. 11 Flat during and after World War l1 . 21 PREVIOUS CULTl!JRAL RES()URCES INVES'flGATfONS . • . 25 PROPIEJR"fY 'fY'PIES ....•.•...••••..••••...•.......•......•.•• 26 METHODOLOGY . 28 PROPERTY DJESCR]P'nONS lN fLA1C (IDI'-005) . 29 Mld-lotvn . 30 Conununity Halli {IDT-07'0); . • . 30 Andy Misc;o,vicllt Bair (UYF-071) . • . • . 31 Duraad Restauran~'/Pairker Bar (IDT.-072) 1 • • ., • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 32 Adams Cab inf Pmrke:r Gemerai.t.or Shed (IIDl-073 . 33 Savage/Fullerttm1 Garage, (IDT-0174) ......•....................•• 33 Gustarfson!Savage/FuUert(Olil House: (IDT-075) . 34 AJ!d.erson Hou1se a:nd Post Office (ID'F'-076) .. .•...•.............•... 35 HillUDmyf Agoff HotFse (,IDT-122) .............................. 36 Uug.ge:.nfaeim Offi.celUotiEa Ho.use (IID'f-092} ..............••....... 37 Misco,vidt H'ouse.fUotUa SJ10:p (IID'f-243,) .............•.•... •..... 38 Gwggenheiim, Hospital/Schooilllllouse (EDT-093,} ....................... 39 Mutdlller/Miscovich Hous.e {IDT-094) . 40 Mi1diael'sEMisco:vicll.

  • History of Science Society Annual Meeting San Diego, California 15-18 November 2012
    History of Science Society Annual Meeting San Diego, California 15-18 November 2012 Session Abstracts Alphabetized by Session Title. Abstracts only available for organized sessions. Agricultural Sciences in Modern East Asia Abstract: Agriculture has more significance than the production of capital along. The cultivation of rice by men and the weaving of silk by women have been long regarded as the two foundational pillars of the civilization. However, agricultural activities in East Asia, having been built around such iconic relationships, came under great questioning and processes of negation during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as people began to embrace Western science and technology in order to survive. And yet, amongst many sub-disciplines of science and technology, a particular vein of agricultural science emerged out of technological and scientific practices of agriculture in ways that were integral to East Asian governance and political economy. What did it mean for indigenous people to learn and practice new agricultural sciences in their respective contexts? With this border-crossing theme, this panel seeks to identify and question the commonalities and differences in the political complication of agricultural sciences in modern East Asia. Lavelle’s paper explores that agricultural experimentation practiced by Qing agrarian scholars circulated new ideas to wider audience, regardless of literacy. Onaga’s paper traces Japanese sericultural scientists who adapted hybridization science to the Japanese context at the turn of the twentieth century. Lee’s paper investigates Chinese agricultural scientists’ efforts to deal with the question of rice quality in the 1930s. American Motherhood at the Intersection of Nature and Science, 1945-1975 Abstract: This panel explores how scientific and popular ideas about “the natural” and motherhood have impacted the construction and experience of maternal identities and practices in 20th century America.

  • Counter-Terrorism and the Law
    WINTER 2009 IU Indianapolis LAW Alumni Magazine & Dean’s Report Defending the Homeland: Counter-terrorism and the Law INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW – INDIANAPOLIS Message from the Dean I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT THE WINTER ISSUE of the IU Law–Indianapolis Alumni Magazine and Dean’s Report. The fall semester has been a busy one at the law school, as this magazine attests. In the following pages, you will read about the groundbreaking counter-terrorism simulation that took place at the school in October as part of Professor Shawn Boyne’s Seminar in National Security Law. During the simulation, students played the roles of government officials responding to simulated terrorist attacks across the country and right here in Indianapolis. In January, WFYI, the local PBS affiliate, will air a documentary about this event. The magazine also includes information about the new legal clinic in Eldoret, Kenya, that our school has helped to establish and continues to support. I had the honor of visiting the clinic in October and am in awe of what has been accomplished there in a very short time. You will also read about and see photos of the recent Board of Visitors Reception at the school, hosted by law school alumnus, and former U.S. Vice President, Dan Quayle. We had a packed house for the event that brought many friends back to the school to visit and reminisce. I also want to take a moment to remember our beloved Professor Mary Harter Mitchell, whose sudden and untimely passing in November of this year leaves a tremendous void in our law school family.

Ramirez-Christensen, Chair Professor Marjorie Levinson Associate Professor Johanna H. Prins Associate Professor Joseph D. Reed © Nicholas Andrew Theisen 2009 For no one ii Acknowledgements The work concluded, tentatively, with this dissertation would not have been possible without the continued intellectual engagement with my colleagues within and without the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan, especially (in no particular order) Michael Kicey, Meng Liansu, Sylwia Ejmont, Carrie Wood, and Sharon Marquart. I have benefited much from Jay Reed’s friendly antagonism, Marjorie Levinson’s keen insight, Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen’s grounding levity, and Yopie Prins’s magnanimity. But beyond the academic sphere, more or less, I’m am deeply indebted to Kobayashi Yasuko for reminding me that, to some, poetry matters as more than a mere figure of academic discourse and to my wife Colleen for her wholly unexpected insights and seemingly infinite patience.

    UNITED STATES v. EVA M. POOL ET AL. IBLA 82-39 Decided January 6, 1984 Appeal from the decision of Administrative Law Judge Robert W. Mesch declaring mining claims and millsite claim null and void. AZ 13970 through AZ 13973. Affirmed in part, reversed in part. 1. Evidence: Burden of Proof -- Mining Claims: Contests -- Mining Claims: Determination of Validity -- Mining Claims: Discovery: Generally When the Government contests the validity of a mining claim on the basis of lack of discovery, it bears only the burden of going forward with sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case. Once a prima facie case is presented, the claimant must present evidence which is sufficient to overcome the Government's showing on those issues raised. Where the Government fails to present sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case, the claimant need not present evidence in order to prevail. If a claimant, however, does present evidence, the determination of the validity of a claim must be made on the basis of the record as a whole, and not just a part of the record. A claimant need not affirmatively establish the existence of a discovery where there has been no prima facie case. The only risk that the claimant runs in such a situation is the risk that the evidence as a whole will establish by a preponderance of the evidence that an element of discovery is not present.
