Main street in Nome as seen in this photo from the same year was little more than a vast tent city. More than 10,000 people were spread over 30 miles along this coastline.

  Histories		Effects of Bicycles on the Cigar Trade Quote from Sam Dannenbaum on the deleterious effects of the bicycle on the cigar trade.
  		Sam Dannenbaum in Nome Alaska, 1900 Following the example of his relatives and other Jewish merchants, Sam Dannenbaum sought to make money in the latest gold rush, this time by selling cigars in Nome, Alaska. According to Wikipedia, in the summer of 1898 gold was discovered near Anvil Creek. News of the discovery reached the outside world that winter. By 1899, Nome had a population of 10,000 and the area was organized as the Nome mining district. In that year, gold was found in the beach sands for dozens of miles along the coast at Nome, which spurred the stampede to new heights. Thousands more people poured into Nome during the spring of 1900 aboard steamships from the ports of Seattle and San Francisco. By 1900, a tent city on the beaches and on the treeless coast reached 48 km (30 miles), from Cape Rodney to Cape Nome.
