Nome, Alaska was incorporated in 1901, a few years after explorers struck gold in the region. R. B. Milroy was a charter member and the Vice President of The Pioneers of Alaska, Igloo Number 1 of Nome, Alaska which was founded in 1907. Certainly the unjust gold mine claim jumping that occurred in the first decade of the 20th century had something to do with the formation of the Pioneers of Alaska. R.B. Milroy was No. 2 of the Pioneers of Alaska, his name and number written on front cover of the Constitution and By-Laws. He was No. 25 in the Nome Federation of Mine Workers, his name and number written inside the front cover of it their Constitution and By-Laws. OCLC Worldcat locates 1 copy of the Constitution and By-Laws of the Pioneers of Alaska, located in the State Library of Alaska. Others not found in OCLC Worldcat.
