The 1935 season promises to be
come a record one for gold produc
tion in the Arctic Circle portion of
the Second Division, Representative
Arthur Chamberlain of the Sceond
Division, who was in Fairbanks re
cently, said. Candle, and the Kobuk
are already assured of increased op
erations .while the Inmachuk field,
back of Deering may again come in
to its own, after virtually two years
of idleness.
“The opening of actual dredging
operations by the Arctic Circle Ex
ploration Company at Candle will
mark the introduction of the first
steel pontoon hull to Alaska,’’ Mr.!
Chamberlain declared. “This com
pany has let two contracts for sink
ing prospect holes, and has three
drills on the ground.
“Due to the mildness of the win
ter, as well as the late freeze-up, a
great deal of prospecting has> been
done already, and it is believed that
either one or two more dredges may
be brought in within the next two
seasons, if the prospects come up to
present expectations.
The Arctic Circle Exploration Co.
has installed a modern power plant,
I generating current from a diesel en
jgine, and the new dredge is fully
I
: electric. The plant is sufficiently
j largtHo provide for any future boats.
Besides opening up new ground on
the Keewilk River, the Arctic Circle
Exploration Company is taking up
its options—it is understood, on the
holdings of most of the small opera
tors on Candle Creek, where the old
dredge of the Keewalik Mining Co.
is located. The Keewalik Mining
Company was taken over complete
j ly by the Arctic Circle Exploration
Company before beginning opera
tions.
“The Quartz Creek Mining Com
pany, operating between Candle and
' Haycock, intends to expand opera
tions somewhat during the coming
year, while recent prospecting done;
in the viciniyt of Haycock may pro-|
duce increased activity.
“The Inmachuk River was quiet |
during 1934, the Forsgren Dredging |
Company registering the only pro
duction to amount to anything, The
Forsgrens have either staked or
leased more ground during the past
two years, brought in thawing equip
ment and otherwise indicated that
they are on the river to stay.
“H.L. Stull, who has prospected on
the lava beds of the upper river for
a number of years, is Outside at pre
sent and his plans for the coming
season are not known. However, it
is thought that he will be back with
I
in the next few months to. continue
his work.
A number of small operators—
Dick Hoogendorn, Dick Escholt, and
Schaeffer and Johnston—are still
contributing to the ouput of the In
niachuk.
“A V. Cordovado, well known plac
er operator, who for years was the
leading producer on the River, has
not yet come to an agreement witlv
P. A. Robbins, head of the A. C. E.
Co., who was to go into partnership
with him In case they do not get
together this spring, the case will
probably go to court in Nome, so
that there will be either operation
under a receiver or else another year
wasted because of litigation
Cordovado went outside recently
to attempt a settlement with Robbins
who makes his headquarters in Chi
cago.
“ ‘Cal’ Suksdorf, who has been at
tempting for several years to obtain
backing to open up Cleary Creek on
the Kobuk River, has at last closed
a deal in Portland, whereby he will
be having his equipment come in
this summer, via Kotzebue. It is'
presumed that he will use a drag
line or shovel.
“Art Hansen, veteran on the Ko- j
buk, has been doing preliminary
work for Suksdorf. The same indi
vidual operators are doing fairly well
elsewhere on the Kobuk’s branches.”

Pilgrim Springs
Mission Had An
Enjoyable Xmas
—
Pilgrim Springs, Alaska, Dec. 30
DEAR EDITOR:
I am writing you about the Christ
mas festivities here at the request
of Rev. Father Menager. We cer
tainly had a wonderful day.
On Christmas Eve, the people
from Mary’s Mountain Village came
with their teams. The children
were anxiously, awaiting them and
when the first team was in sight
the news spread quickly and soon
every one knew it. Whenever the
dogs barked we knew that a team
had come. There were people com-'
ing from 3 in the afternoon till late:
at night. Some people came from
New Village and Shelton, also all
were welcomed. They were given
sleeping quarters for the night and
their meals were prepared for them.
After supper, which was earlier
than usual, we decorated the dining
room and the play-room. We then
went to bed and closed our eyes in
sleep. At 11:30 we were awakened
by Sister Clement Marie <piaymg
the Christmas song, "Silent Night,
Holy Night,” on the organ, and
three girls singing vyith her. In a

half hour we were dressed, and the
joyous peals of -^’pe bell summoned
us to Church to commemorate that
night so long ago when Christ our
Savior was born.
In the Church is to be seen a
representation of the stable at Beth
lehem, (the scene of Christ’s birth
place,) which was lit with little
“Noma” color lights.
Before Mass began there was a
procession in which the altar boys,
priest, who was carrying an image
of the Inkant King lying on an em
broidered pillow. When they came
to the crib, Father laid the Infant
on His bed of straw and burned in
cense in His honor. Then followed
the Midnight Mass, followed by a
second Mass which lasted about an
hour and a half.
When the divine services were
over we went to the dining room
and ate our “Midnight lunch,” as we
call it, though it really was early
in the morning. At two o'clock we
went back to bed and remained
there till nine o’clock. Then we
arose again and went to church for
the third Mass. Then came break
fast time.
Our Christmas tree celebration
took piace pt 12. We were *a 11 seat
ed in the dining room awaiting the
arrival of dear old Santa Claus. He
arrived in a few minutes, all out of
breath and quite tired. We sang
of Christmas songs and recited some
poems for him. After telling us
about his travels to the North Pole
he distributed the presents. The
little tots were very scared of Santa
even when he offered them their
presents, but anyway the other
children and the people enjoyed it
very much. You would never guess
who it was that played Santa Claus,
it was Sister Clement Marie, and it
was all very cute.
At one p.m. we went to the church
for Benediction to receive the bless
ing of our Lord and also to thank
Him for all the favors we had re
ceived from Him. We would have
had Renediction later if it had not
been for the storm. It was awfully
stormy but it died down after Bene
diction and was as calm as the day
before. It had cleared just in time
for the people who were returning
to their homes.
We spent the rest of the day in
enjoying our presents. The little
girls were happy with their dolls
and they are spending their holi
days making doll clothes.
A big supper was served at six
o'clock which was a half hour earl
ier than usual. When the meal was
over we had two and a half hours
in which to spend our evening re
creation. j$
Then bed time came and again
we closed our eyes in slumber. Thus
ended a happy day spent ./m-the—
shadow of the Sawtooth Mountains.
Here ends my story of the first
Christmas spent with Rev. Father
Menager, and it was Merry Christ
mas indeed.
Wishing you success in the New
Year, I am,
Yours Sincerely,
„r, MARY LAINE.
