eslee and Fred Anderson hasten
ed to the place. What followed
is best told in Deputy Lowe’s
own words
“We got to the cabin in quick
time, and to the door; the smoke
was awful. I got on my hands
and knees and got hold of an Es
kimo, and got him out and turn
ed him over to Blakeslee. Then
I went back and got hold of an
other, a woman I think. I caught
her by the leg, and pulled, the
skin coming off in my hands. I
ed back again into the cabin,
got her out by the ankle and start
Farther back I found two more,
one lying across the other. The
smoke was so dense and I had to
feel my way, but I could see a
tin oven on the floor. I got hold
of one of the natives and caught
him between the legs and yank
ed him out. His clothes were all
burned off and my hands were
covered with burned epidermis
and blood; so were my clothes
as I found out afterwards.
“I again went back and found
a child, 8 or 10 years of age. It
had crawled underneath a bunk
in the cabin. I was afraid by
this time that I couldn’t find my
own way out, so dense and blind
ing was the smoke, and the smell
of burning flesh was awful. The
child under the bunk was nestl?
ing with its nose close to the
wall as if to get air. I got it to
the door and again went back,
and this time I found another
child. I heard it groan and lo
cated it beneath a table, its head
in a box. The child had been
terribly burned; its face and
hands being like a piece of liver.
This made five that I had pulled
out of the building. How the
sixth got out I don’t know.”
One of the children, a little girl,
told Deputy Marshal George H.
Webber that they had had whis
key; her brother got it, she said.
The fire seems to have been
caused by a lamp explosion which
set fire to the canvas lining of
the cabin. It is not believed that
the natives had whiskey. Other
natives who were interviewed
this morning deny it strenuously.
They said that two of the burned
natives had been very sick.

Carl J. Lomen Describes Returning
Signs Prosperity Mining Industry
After Trip Over Seward Peninsula
Carl J. Lomen, of the Lomen
Commercial Co., who returned to
Nome from a business trip thru
the North, touching the Lomen
Company stations and contacting
various customers, was enthusi
astic over the marvelous improve
ment in the general prosperity of
the sections he visited, which in
cluded: Taylor in the Kougarok,
Keewalik, Baldwin, Kotzebue,
Candle, the Noatak-Kokuk river
section where he visited the Hu
go Eckhardt fur farm and also
the fur farm of Dr. R. E. Smith.
Everywhere he stopped, declar
ed Mr. Lomen, evidences of ener
getic pursuit of mining greeted
him. At one place alone, on
Candle Creek, he noticed that
there were ten giant hydraulic
nozzles in operation within a
mile or mile and a half.
Northern sections * have been
very fortunate in getting plenty
of water this year and as a result
mining has progressed by leaps
and bounds. By air, in many
sections, passengers in an air
plane can see almost any type of

modern-day mining machinery
and equipment, busy tearing into
the ground and digging up the
r.ch gold ore. Conditions are
prosperous, and said Mr. Lomen,
“I have not seen such orderly &
determined advancement during
Ihe past 20 years as now appears
in the mining districts of Sew
ard Peninsula.”
Referring to politics,which now
occupies the leading topic posi
tion, Mr. Lomen humorously said
in an interview todgy; “On my
trip I saw many Republicans eag
er to go to the polls to back up
the Landon movement, and of
course I saw a few Democrats up
that way too.”
Mr. Lomen also mentioned that
the well known old-timer Tom
Roust was intending taking over
the plane owned by P. A. Rob
bins, and also engaging the ser
vices of its pilot.
On Jump Creek where Billy
French operates, Mr. Lomen de
clared that one of the miners un
earthed a pre-historic trout froz
en in the ice-formation, about 10
feet below the surface of the pit
in which he was digging. The
fish appeared to be remarkably
well preserved.
“With the machinery and equip
ment now available to miners in
Alaska, the Seward Peninsula
section has passed the stage of
^ ‘promise’ and mining develop
ment has increased beyond all
previous proportions; and one
reason, I believe, is due to the
many types of modern-day equip
| ment which is at present being
used universally throughout the
Territory,” he concluded, when
j questioned as to the types of min
j ing being carried on, which in
; eluded, drag-line, hydraulic,
! sluice-box, dredge, bull-dozers,
and even panning.
