Jimmy Mills, Eskimo of Igloo,
who arrived Nome last night
with his team of five dogs report
ed there were about fifty rein
deer carcasses lying around near
Grand Central Pass when he
passed there three days ago.
He came by way of Teller and
Tissue River, reporting that the
;ce at Tissue and Douglass had
moved out and the snow was dis
appearing fast.
From the appearances, he said,
two large brown bears had at
tacked the reindeer forcing them
over bluffs to their death and
then going down and sucking the
blood from them. He did not see
the bears but found their tracks
which were unusually large.
Sluicing operations were com
menced by Alvin Poison and as
sociates yesterday on the huge
pay dump taken out during the
winter months. This is the larg
est outfit working underground
during the winter season. The
mining camp is just a little to
the west of the landing field. A
crew of between 15 and 20 men
are employed the year around,
right at Nome’s back door, and
is evidence of what can be done
by others who either own mining
ground or leases, especially dur
ing the winter period, now that
the price of gold is higher than
ever before, thus making it pro
fitable to work low grade ground.
Joint funeral services were held
today for two old sourdoughs,
Jack Goodyear aged 79.and Oscar
Wick aged 65. both well known
and respected residents of Nome.
The Rev. Norman McCay offici
I
ated at the Federated church.

1. and Arctic Brotherhood, Camp
No. 9, of which the deceased
were members had charge of the
funeral arrangements, and mem
bers of both organizations as well
as friends of the deceased men|
attended the last rites.
Owing to the condition of the
road leading to the cemetery on
Belmont Point, the bodies will
remain in the McConaghy mor
gue until it is possible to reach
the cemetery.

ovin today with freight returning
