Output Of Cold From Nome & Seward
Peninsula To Reach New High For
Mining Season Of 1936, Indicated
—
I
While other sections of Alaska are just recording
shipments of gold into cities for transportation from the;
.mines to the Outside, Nome can look with pride to what
it already has produced uptodate this summer, when
the mining season is not yet half over.
Gold shipped from Nome aboard the steamers Vic
toria, Tanana, and Dellwood to Seattle, totalled $1,000,
000.00, all of which has been taken out this season from
the rich deposits located in several different sections of
Seward Peninsula.
Teller, Peering, Candle, Council, Bluff. Little Creek,
Osborne Creek. Sunset Creek, Spruce Creek, Monu
ment Creek, Dry Creek and Newton Gulch, Solomon
River, and last but not least the vast Kougarok River
area, all have helped produce gold which has testified
for years that Nome and its surrounding sections are
not devoid of the rich mineral, but is embarked on its
greatest period of development since the rush here at
the beginning of the centurv.
jLast year’s export of gold from this section totalled
about $2,200,000.00, and this year, it is expected that
it will amount to nearly three million dollars. You
can’t by any stretch of imagination believe that the
most important mineral today in the world has disap
peared from these sections. On the contrary, concrete,
irrefutable eidence points ever to the fact that this coun
try is gradually assuming the status claimed for it as
having been merely scratched and that when the proper
efforts are taken and work done, the development of
Seward Peninsula will result in the production of gold
here, as second to none in Alaska, and that is saying
much when speaking of placer mining camps.
With the construction of new dredges, and the in
stallation of new and improved hydraulic machinery
and the use of pumps in localities where there usually
exists a shortage of seasonal rains, all these new mining
interests using modern methods, the gold output in this
section of Alaska will continue for fifty years or more.

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
LISTENS TO WHAT'S WRONG
WITH GOVT. AID ESKIMOS
(Continued From Page One)
of the rapid growth of this dread
disease among a population con
ceded to be in excess of thirty
thousand native peoples.
The need for hospitalization
for tubercular cases was stressed
by every witness who occupied
the stand.
Another inquiry put to almost
every witness was their opinion
concerning the consumption of
liquor by native populations. All
of them decried its effects, its in
direct cause in bringing about
tuberculosis, its demoralizing ef
fects on the character of these
races. As to suggestions where
by a remedy could be instituted,
all witnesses were vague due,
mostly to the conception of the
present status of the Indian and
Eskimo races—they being in act
ual effect citizens of the United
States, and therefore it being
seemingly impossible to legislate
specifically on this matter.
The matter of the proper edu
cation for natives was discussed
with the principal attitude being
that they should be trained as
nearly as they require, in the
meithods suitable to make them
self supporting according to their
own standards and according to
their own wishes for self-advance
ment.
Another matter which appear
ed in a surprising manner was
the testimony of Miss Emily Mor
gan, Superintendent of the May
nard Columbus Hospital, that the
Office of Indian Affairs refused to
allow or bring native tubercular
patients to the hospital at Nome
for treatment. Miss Morgan de
clared she had written evidence
to this effect in her contracts
with the bureau. When question
ed whether many tubercular pa
tients among the natives received
| treatment there, she explained
that none were treated for the
above stated reason. When ask
ed if she ever refused patients
brought to the hospital, whether
of one disease or another, she
stated she never refused patients
admittance, and that in conse
quence, in some cases, there were
many bills which were never
paid, due to the reason of insuf
ficient funds.
The general scope of this morn
ing’s hearings was into the gen
eral conditions affecting the na
tives. Their homes, life, means
of livelihood, education, both in
dustrial and academic, and some
of the effects of the white man's
civilization upon them. The hear
ing was recessed at 12:30 P.M. for1
lunch and took up again at 2 P.
M. with further questionings and
discussions concerning the Eski
mos.
Numerous ones appeared be
fore the committee this afternoon
speaking on the Eskimo situa
tion, the subject matter of which
will be treated in tomorrow’s is
sue. The committee recessed at
about 4:30 P. M. to inspect a dis
play of native products at the
Office of Indian Affairs school.
They will convene again at G
P. M. this evening to take up the
subject of the reindeer and its
relation to the Eskimos.
Numerous speakers will be
present tonight including direct
ors of the local Eskimo reindeer
organization, and some very in
terseting testimony is expected
to be delivered.
Senator Thomas, chairman, al
so stated that it there are others
who care to touch on the gen
eral conditions affecting natives
they will be heard. He said the
hearing would continue tonight
until all testimony had been re
ceived.
