MAY VOLUME
ON NATIVES IS
GIVEN PRAISE
•Alaska Natives," recently com
pleted by H. Dewey Anderson and
Walter Crosby Eells, faculty mem
bers of Leland Stanford University,
and published this year by the Stan
ford Press, is the most valuable
work on Alaska history since the
report on population, industries arid
resources of Alaska by Ivan Petroff,
contained in the census of 1880, ac
cording to C. W. Hawkesworth, as
sistant to the director of the United
States Bureau of Indian Affairs,who
received a copy of the new volume
in a recent mail, says the Juneau
Empire.
The authors visited the territory
in 1931 and spent the greater part
of the winter traveling through the
country studying the life of the In
dians and Eskimos.
A survey of the sociological and
educational status of the Indians
and Eskimos, the authors say they
present a complete picture of the
Alaska native, past and present,with
the outlook for the future. The
material was gathered by them dur
ing two seasons spent in visiting
Eskimo, Aleut and Indian villages
throughout Alaska.
During the legislative session of
19.31. members were informally ad
divssed by Author Anderson.

Osborne Dredge Is
To Be Operated
During Season 1935
GREENSTONE MINES INC., A
W ASHINGTON CORPORATION,
TO OPERATE GOLD DREDGE
ON OSBORNE CREEK
—
Grover Andree having been plac
ed in charge of operations and who
arrived here March 5th, has been
busy checking up on property and
looking after the dredge so it can
be placed in operation for the com
ing season.
The dredge has been idle for a
number of years and needs consid
erable repairs. Repairs are to come
in on first sailing of the boats and
will be installed ready for opera
tion shortly after.
Mr Andree operated the dredge
last summer for a short time under
a lease, but found it was impossible
to carry on without considerable
expense for new parts, and was not
financially able to meet this expense
so after returning to Seattle in the
fall he met parties who were able
to buy the property and put the
dredge in running order.
As there is considerable ground
yet to be dredged, although consid
ered low grade at the old price of
gold, it is possible to make a small
profit at present prices, if handled
carefully and drilled to map out the
dredgeable ground ahead.
It is the company's intention to
drill ahead of the dredge and deter
mine values on St Michel Creek
down Osborne Creek. Mr Julian
who is now located at Puyallup,
Washington, spent many years on
Osborne Creek and was always suc
cessful in operating the dredge, but
prices at that time were very high
and his profits were cut down con
siderable on that account.
Mr Andree having spent many
years in the employ of different
dredging companies since 1906, com
ing from Oroville, California, where
he first operated a bucket dredge—
is not new at his undertaking and
has spent many years in the Alaska
^dredging fields,first coming to Nome
in 1912 for II G Peake Engineering
Company, a dredge building con
cern of San Francisco, California.
