Old Gas Lamp By Historic Gold Cabin Window Nolan Alaska

In a historic gold cabin in Nolan, Alaska in the USA, an old gas lamp sits by the window as the Autumn scenery decorates the outside world.

Old curtains border a window where a gas lamp stands in an abandoned cabin once used by people who spent days gold mining in the historic town of Nolan, Alaska. This old gas lamp was once the only source of light many of the miners had while they laid down roots for a while in these rustic cabins.

The window allows the outside light to illuminate the historic cabin and inside visitors can look out to the colorful wilderness as the trees display their autumn hues.

Between 1904 and 1999, miners discovered 135,000 ounces of gold along Nolan Creek with the 20th largest nugget weighing in at 42-troy ounce being found here. Mining activity continues around Nolan, Alaska where a reserve of over 114,000 ounces of gold in the year 2,000 was recorded.

Gold mining began in 1870 near Juneau, Alaska with the coming years producing gold in most areas except in the swamps of the Yukon Flats and on the North Slope between the Brooks Range and the Beaufort Sea. A majority of the gold came from Fairbanks, Juneau and Nome and between 1880 - 2006, Alaska has produced 39.4 million troy ounces of gold.

This old cabin and gas lamp are just a few of the historic reminders around this gold mining town which offers visitors a look at early days.
