W ARREN l ERGUSON TELLS OF
MINING IN NORTH-MOVED RIG
ELEVATOR WITH 100-DOGTEAM
Warren Ferguson and
Pilot King of Ferguson Air
ways, a northern airplane
company operating out of
Kotzebue and other north
ern villages, arrived Nome
this morning.
They returned late this
afternoon after Mr. Fergu
son, completed business af
fairs in Nome.
Warren had very encour
aging news to impart con
cerning contemplated min
ing operations for the Ko
buk and other northern
mining sections, including
Candle and the Inmachuk.
On the Kobuk he said:
“We have decided to open
up some of our mining pro
perty which has not been
operated since the price of
gold went up to S35.00 an
ounce.
Uur ground, situated on
California Creek, a few mil
es north of Shungnak, pro
mises to contain rich de
posits at the new price of
gold. We have a hydraulic
elevator situated there and
wished to move it abouf
1600 feet distant from out
cId pit, to a piece of ground
which we have not yet
touched. Being very heavy
and hard to handle, it was
somewhat of a problem to
devise ways of moving,
since <>ur “cat” wa5 at Kot
zebue and there were no
h irses in the country,
"I to k ei 4'hteen E;kim is
with as many dog teams &
decided to attempt the haul
We hitched up 100 dogs in
a team and the elevator
wa - moved t-> its n< w
tion in about twenty minu
te.-. Some “horsepower,”
what do you think?”
Mr. Ferguson stated op
erations were ready to com
mer.ee, from what he could
learn, at Candle, as soon as
tlvre is suifieient water &
the breakup releases equip
ment.
Referring to recent depre
dations by wolves in the
Kobuk, Noatak and Sela
wik sections, Mr. Ferguson
related numerous incidents
of reindeer treks and herd
ings, which were subjected
to frequent raids by wol
ves, with enormous losses
of deer.
He declared that these
conditions had been increas
ing all winter, and there
appeared to be no sign of a
let-up unless some means
of a concerted drive to ex
terminate' these animals
was devised.
