Tells Of Erection
Memorial Father
Ruppert Springs
Reverend Fr. Gabriel Menager,
Superior of Pilgrim Springs Orphan
age, who has been in town for the
last few days was in the Nugget
Office with some very interesting pic
lures he had taken of the Ruppert
Memorial. The huge cross which
was put up during the week of the
Feast of the Exultation of the Holy
Cross proved to be, as Father told
us, quite a difficult undertaking,
For many months passed Brother
Hansen and his boys had been work
mg at it during their free days.

When the time time came to put it
up Brother Wilhalm and the greater
part of the children had to come
up to help. f
The cross was duly blessed by Fr.
Menager who now is planning to
have a plaque made telling the story
of the sad tragedy which took place
in Dec. 1923 during a blizzard. He
still hopes for more help from Fath
er Ruppert’s old friends in the way
of donations to complete the monu
ment to the memory of his former
teacher.
Eventually Father Menager will
have a postal card made of the
whole afTair with a close-up of the
historical plaque.
Please send your contributions to
Father Gabriel Menager, direct, to
Pilgrim Springs, Alaska.

(Continued from Pago One)
as perfectly preserved. It was broken !
in several places.
Before leaving Candle Mr. Dreut- !
zer diipatched to the states, by tbe !
S S. Derblay, a large box contain- :
ing fossilized remains of prehistoric j
musk-ox, deer, horse and prehistor- ,
lie bison, in addition to numerous i
small objects of ivory and skin pos- J
Isibly of antediluvian origin. The!
shipment is being sent to the Field
Muesum at Chicago for classlfica- ;
tion.
Of peculiar note was that prehist
ioric musk-ox, deer horse and bison
I were all found on the same level in
the hydraulic pit, about 12 feel,
down from the surface. The musk
ox is and has always been known
as an Arctic animal, but the bison,
deer and horse, have never been
known to populate the same cold re- j
gions, thereby raising a question as j
to how these remains, including the
ancient prehistoric mastadon all
came to be in the same pit.
Another vivid discovery made by
Mr. Dreutzer was that what is re
garded as mastadon ivory bracelets
and trinkets, which have been of
common sight in Nome, are really
not mastadon ivory, but are made
of the skin of the enormous animal
which lived millions of years ago.
Also noticeable is the presence of
what is believed to be a prehistoric
bison, but many times the size of >
the present beast, only a few of
which roam wild in the United Slat
es today. The bison was also strict
ly a temporate animal but here it
is found on the same archaeological
level with beasts who lived centur- 1
ies before it, and in a frozen cli
mate.
Mr. Dreutzer explained that addi
tional evidence of further discov
eries awaits careful extraction next1
summer, from the mining pits of
the Arctic Circle Exploration Inc.,
near Candle. The collection which
he brought to Nome was polished
and worked on by King Island Es
kimos to place it in condition for
exhibition. Mr. Dreutzer expects to
take his collection with him when
he leaves for the states.
