(Continued From Page One)
them side of Seward Peninsula
have had plenty of water and are
turning in a record performance.
Council Area Humming
Flying to Council he contact
ed the Hugh Pierson dredge
which is turning in 10-day clean
ups with “everybody wearing
big smiles.”
He called on the North Star
Dredging Co. camp, Henry Gumm
and Fritz Mebes and discovered
their dredge started operating
August 20th, after a new hull
had been constructed this sum
mer. Since receiving water, the
Tom Shaw and brothers hydraul
ic operations having been going
full swing on Ophir Creek.
Pherrin also called in on the
new bride, Mrs. Barney Crosby,
whose husband is engaged at the
Pierson camp. He discovered her
writing "Odes to the Northland”
but didn't find out whether they
would be published or not.
L. E. Ost, operating a model
28 Caterpillar has been busy all
summer freighting supplies to the
Council section from Golovin,
where they are deposited by in
coming vessels from the States
and elsewhere.
Sevices Caterpillars
Mr. Pherrin, on his flying trip
repaired and serviced any Cater
pillars needing his attention. He
explained that while he was on
the ground, he was better able
to recommend any further eq
uipment, the type and size, which
might be contemplated.
Two Trips a Year
He expects to make at least
two trips around the districts
every year. Through the aid of
radio and airplanes today, outly
ing mining camps are in the posi
tion where they may advise Cat
erpillar representative. The Nome
Motor Co. in Nome, of any re
pairs necessary, and immediately
their man will be on the job—a
far cry from the old days when
operations would have to be sus
pended while waiting for weeks
for repair parts to arrive.
On the whole, said Mr. Pherrin
the Seward Peninsula section is
going to turn in a larger return
this year than for many season’s
past, in the opinion of oldtimers
and operators in the different
*
camps.

GAME WARDEN DISTRIBUTES
WOLF TRAPS
FAIRBANKS—Intensifying the
| "war on the wolf”, Warden Sam
White of the Alaska game com
mission has brought in six and
one-half barrels of wolf traps for
distribution among trappers in
' the Fairbanks and Fort Yukon
i districts.
i
"These big traps will be sold to
jthe trappers at cost price—and
| no charge will be made for the
freighting them to Fairbanks,”
White said. “There are more;
than 300 traps in the lot, and the |
limit per trapper is 30.”
I This aid to the trapper is a part'
|of the commission’s campaign to;
save wild game from the increas- j
i ing packs of wolves and coyotes, j
The traps will be sold to trap- !
pers at each.
Meanwhile. Frank Glaser, vet
eran wolf hunter engaged by the1
•Alaska Game Commission in the
j campaign against predatory ani
'mais, left Fairbanks for a three
month trip over the headwaters i
j of the Goodpaster, Charley, and'
'the Salcha rivers.
The game commission wants to
i know how extensively the wolf
• packs are spreading, and how
'many caribou they are killing.
Following the trail of the mi
; grant caribou bands the hunter
will note and photograph the evi
dence against the wolf. Early in
November Glaser is scheduled to
•return to Fairbanks, get a new
outfit including traps, and spend
the winter trapping wolves.
