Howdy! The Cruicible must
be kept boiling. even tho the
Assayer is galvanting around the
Kougarok—and enjoying it.
Believe it or not. I'm waiting
for a plane. Having covered Iron
Creek, about mile 51, Seward
Peninsula tramroad. and Coffee,
Dahl, Quartz, and Joe Creek, in
the Kougarok section proper, I
am now at Fox Bar, Kougarok
River.
The purpose of this trip is to
make a survey of the mining sit
uation in the Kougarok section,
gather statistics and explain the
functions of the department’s of
fice at Nome. Considerable bene
fit may also be derived by bring
ing methods and other operating
data from one district to another.
The Fox Bar Dredging Com
pany, Graham D. Lammars, man
ager, is a good example of an ef
ficient small dredge operation.
The atmosphere of good fellow
ship and cooperation is a com
plement to the management.
I visited A1 Carey, Louis Nash
enwing, and Paul Rasmusson on
Dahl Creek, also Lea Stevens on
Quartz Creek and Mr. and Mrs.
Yagger on Joe Creek. Everyone
is working hard and looking after
their interests. Mrs. Yagger,:
working along side of her hus-!
band, has what it takes to be a
real pioneer, she deserves the
I best of luck.
Ed. Hoven at the head of Dahl,
is working two shifts. The Wiurm
brothers are prospecting on Eagle
Draw.

Voyage of North
Star To Barrow
Was Described
(Continued From Page One)
their school at Wainwright, said
Mrs. Farrell, who visited those
Arctic traders “Big Jim” Allen
and Dick Hall. More than two
hundred and fifty Eskimos make
their home at Wainwright, and it
appeared they were all there.
Mrs. Farrell also commented on
the successful season of hunting
walrus, whale, seal and other j
briny animals of the deep, indi
cating that there would be “plen
ty kowkow” this coming winter.
The North Star stayed at Bar
row for two days unloading and
was detained another two days
by stormy weather. It was dur
ing the stay at Barrow that the
Soviet icebreaker Krassin arriv
ed much to the interest of every
one in that section.
Enroute back down the coast
aboard the North Star,a visit was
paid by Tony Jewel and family,
Eskimo teachers of the Indian
Affairs school at that place.
In Mrs. Farrell’s opinion, that
condition of the Eskimos all a
long the coast, appears to be sat
isfactory. They have plenty of
food, although, it was reported,
their trapping season last winter
was not as successful as it could
have been. Office of Indian Af
fairs stations visited, all appear
ed to be in good order and well
manned, and the people in charge
pleased with the work now going
on.
C ffee Creek, are according to
Ma. ager Harvey Grant, doing
well, the large amount of dead
work which this dry season gave
them time to do, should make for
an even more favorable season
next year. Incidently fellows,
‘Toddy” is some cook.
At Iron Creek, Carlson and Co.
are operating a pumping plant.
Grant Laiblin has just about fin
ished for the season at Telegram
Creek. Charley Roosevelt, who
owns a lode claim at the head of
the creek has been doing some
rock work for the road commis
sion. Alexander and Patterson,
who had a little hard luck when
high water washed their plant
out should be in town in a few
days.
Pete Blomquist on Benson Creek
was my kind host for a night. He
11 .
i has a man s sized job, working
his ground alone.
Bar ney Rolando who operates
on American Creek, is at present
in charge of the main Road Com
mission Camp on Iron Creek.
The road camp at Iron Creek
has b;en handicapped by the lack
of equipment, but there is a work
able “cat'' road from the road
house to a point past Benson
Creek. The A. R. C. also have a
camp at Bunker Hill and at
Quartz Creek. I only traveled
the road from Bunker Hill to
Coffee Creek. The road here has
been completed for four miles.
It is of willow-sod-gravel con
struction. The building of roads
and the extension of the railroad
are of prime importance in the
development of this section.
From Fox Bar I will go to the
Noxadepaga, thence Taylor and
vicinity and back to Nome. I’m
going to be sorry to leave this
part of the country. Despite the
dry season and later the heavy
rains which in some instances did
more harm than goods there is a
decided note of optimism. “We
haven’t done much this year, but
we’ll give ’em ’ell next.”
Tom Meeker just signaled,
“Soups On,” I don’t want to miss
anything, so long.
