Pilot Maurice King of the
Fergusion Airways accom
pa.o.ed by Mechanic Bar
ber of the Mirow Air Ser
vice left Nome today for,
Russian Mission, where me
chanic Barber will com
plete minor repairs to the
landing gear of Pilot John
son's plane which landed
there day before yesterday.
Pilot K.r.g is *o return this
evening with passengers
from Marshal coming to
Nome for the District court
session here commencing
next week.
Pilot Maurice King A the
Ferguson Airways declared
today that after flying for
more than five hours on a
tour of the Selav.'ik valley
country in company with
Archie Ferguson, veteran
northern trader, they could
locate only about one-four
th of the number of rein
deer supposed to be in that
section, two days ago.
In many places said Pilot
King, huge numbers of rein
deer could be seen lying
around on the snow-cover
ed tundra, victims of the
marauding wolf packs whi
ch have infested the entire
Kotzebue and Barrow ar
eas this spring and winter.
Several packs of wolves
could be seen at different
times, he stated. Last fall,
said Mr. K;ng. about 12,000
reindeer were run through
the marking corrals and
turned loose to graze in the
Selawik section. After the
recent aerial survey only
about 3,000 of the deer was
located.
Whether they migrated
to some other range is un
known lid Mr. King, or
whether the majority were
killed by wolves.
