I REMAINS OF ANCIENT
ALASKA CIVILIZATION
t ARE REVEALED
! _
• Traces of old Eskimo civilizat
; ion far richer than that of to
- day was found during the sum
; mer on the islands near the
i Alaska coast in Bering Sea,
l Harry B. Collins, ethnologist
and archeologist for the Smith
' sonian Institution, revealed on
his return to the States from
| the Arctic. Ancient villages
. more pretentious than today’s
1 settlements, long houses made
of driftwood and of whale
bone; bone and ivory carvings
' of exquisite design, and high
1 ly decorated utensils, and al
’ so weapons, were uncovered
by Collins on St. Lawrence
and Sledge Islands. Collins
said: “It is probably a pre>
Russian civilization, I would
say from 300 to 800 years
old.” Houses were found 16
feet below habitations of the
present generation and 6 feet
below sea level.
HUGE DEER MIGRATION
With a thousand miles ahead,
the longest mass movement of
reindeer in the history of the
North is under way from Aki
ak, on the middle Kuskokwim
river to Herendeen Bay, far
out on the Alaska Peninsula.
Two thousand head are mov
ing across the tundra in charge
of Paul Kjegstal and two com
panions. They started about
the middle of September and
expect to reach their journey’s
end next April. Kjegstal, a
Norwegian, who has been in
Alaska for 40 years, has se
cured a grazing permit from
Herendeen Bay to Cold Bay, a
distance of about 100 miles,
and his advent into the Penin
sula country will mean the es
tablishment of a reindeer meat
cold storage at Unga Island,
and will be followed by the
installation of meat canning
machinery in fish canning
plants already existing there,
which will give the plants an
opportunity to work during the
winter months.
How to get food to five Rus
sians and fifty-five Eskimos
who have been cut off from the
world on Wrangell Island since
1926 is causing much worry in
Siberia. The steamer Stavro
pol, assigned to carry the col
ony a three years food supply,
failed to break through the
ice and returned to Laurence
Bay recently. An airplane sent
with food was also compelled
to return without having ac
complished its mission.
To enable R. K. Stewart,
predatory animal hunter, now
employed by the Territory, to
remain in the field in South
eastern Alaska during the
present winter, Paul G. Red
ington, chief of the U. S. bio
logical survey, has contributed
$1,000 towards the payment of
his expenses. This makes $2,
000 which Rcdington has con
tributed towards the work.

view Gold Mining Co. is Hyder, Alas
ka, and the postoffice address of
its Attorney in Fact, A. W. Fox, is
Box 1237, Juneau, Alaska, Division
No. 1 thereof.

quired to file a notice of their ad
verse claim with the Register of the

BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
' PRESS OF ALASKA
The Ketchikan city council
has authorized the purchase of1
a pump for installation on a;
tug for use as a fire boat for
the protection of the city wat
erfront.
The fate of J. W. Gunne
meyer, radioman at the wire
less station at Mile 14, near
Cordova, who disappeared
while hunting, was solved re
cently when his body was
found by a party of duck hunt
ers. He had drowned.
Finding the semi-foituminous
coal of the Coal Creek Coal
Co., owned by R. S. Heckey of
Chickaloon, suitable to their
needs, a big San Francisco
glass manufacturing concern
may take over the ' Heckey
lease and open the Coal Creek
property on a large scale. For
glass making the so-called
blacksmith coal from the Heck
ey lease is ideal in the coke it
produces with only 7 to 9 per
cent ash and one-half to one
per cent sulphur. According to
government tests it is the best
in the United States, and Ger
man coal of an inferior grade
to the Alaska article brings
$87 a ton for the coke-in San
Francisco.
Pioneers of Alaska have pre
sented the Alaska College with
a large photograph of Felix
Pedro, the original discoverer
of gold in the Fairbanks dis
trict and a prominent oldtim

number of years ago. Pedro
Creek bears his name. The
presentation was made by Jos
eph Ulmer, past grand presi

A mining deal of major im
portance to the Interior was
closed recently when Casper
Ellengen exercised his option
rights on Deadwood Creek,
near Fairbanks, by making
substantial first payments to
the owners of the ground. All
the claims on the creek from
30 below to 60 below are in
cluded in the deal, making a
total of about three miles of
ground. The sellers were Os
car C. Carlson, N. W. Knut
son, J. Langlow, M.H. Greep,
F. M. Leach, Peter Bloom,
David Kuhn, Gus Chisholm,
and E. M. Browno.
Frank Isaacson, who has been
farming in the Fairbanks
country for a number of years
surrendered himself to the
authorities at Fairbanks re
cently, claiming that he had
killed two persons, one of
them a woman. Investigation
disclosed that he was laboring
under a delusion and he was
held for observation.

Henry H. Berry, engaged in
farming in the Fairbanks dis
trict since 1909, died at the
Fairbanks hospital recently
after a long illness. He was 54
years of age and a widower.
The oldtimer came to Alaska
in 1908 and_for a time operat
ed a green-house in Fairbanks.
Later he located a tract of
farming land near Fairbanks,
on the Steese Highway. Heart
trouble was the cause of his
death.
The whaler Aberdeen arriv
ed at Juneau recently with
only a few barrels of oil left
in its fuel tanks. After leaving
the whaling station at Port
Hobron the ship encountered
a gale and was forced to ride
the seas at anchor for six days.
A total of 1,050,262 salmon
were counted through the weir
in Karluk river from May to
October 9, according to ad
vices received at the Juneau
office of the Bureau of Fish
eries. Of this number 1,039,
320 were reds and 10,942
were cohoes. This was an in
crease of about 20 per cent
in reds as compared with 1927,
while the cohoes showed a
small decline. Last year 872,
539 reds were counted through
the weir.
Varney Tolcon, 80 years old,
was found dead in a parked
automobile in Juneau recently.
No marks or bruises were
found on the body. His death
is declared to have been due
to alcoholism.
News has been received in
Seattle of the death of Rev.
Anthony M. Keys, S. J., vet
eran missionary to Alaska,
who passed away at Mountain
Village, Alaska, October 1,
Father Keys was 63 years of
age and spent 30 years in the
Indian and Eskimo missions of
the North. A few years ago
Fr. Keys’ health broke down
and he was sent to Seattle, but
upon his recovery insisted up
on going back to the missions
to which he had dedicated his
life. ;
Receipts from timber sales
from the national forests in
Alaska accruing to the Terri
tory for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1928, were $22,441.74
or about $10,000 less than the
average, according to a recent
announcement by Governor
George A. Parks. Of the total
sum, $19,018.52 was derived
from sales of timber from the
! Tongass National Forest, in
which Hyder is located. The
decrease is believed to have
been due largely to the falling
off of the salmon pack in 1927,
which resulted in a material
decrease in the number of
shooks manufactured for sal
mon boxes. It is said to have
effected to a small extent the
Territory^ road building pro
gram, although co-operative
agreements between the Alas
ka Road Commission, the Bur
eau of Public Roads and the
Territory made it possible to
prevent material curtailment
of the program.
