A letter from Delbar says that
quite a bit of prospecting has been
going on there at Marshal all win

The Alaska Lighterage and Com
mercial Co. is now engaged in con
structing a 25 ton derrick which
will be placed on the end of the
ocean dock when that is reassembled
in the spring. It is the intention cf
the company to reconstruct the dock
along the same lines as last year
and work will begin upon it as soon
as water front conditions are suited
for it.
Because the disappearance of
ptarmigan is general throughout
every section of Alaska and because
many inquiries have been directed
to the Governor's office for an ex
planation of the matter, furnishing
the bureau with all data on the
subject, the Governor’s office in
Juneau has referred the matter to
the scientific experts of the Agricul
tural Department to whom such or
nithological freaks are commonly
under observation for some explana
tion of what is a very distressing but
none the less interesting pheno
menon in Alaska bird life.

Word was received on the last
mail from Point Hope announcing
that the smallest fur catch In years
would fall to the lot of the natives.
In fact all the fur that had been
taken was that of some very poor
lynx. The natives were also very
short of fuel. For this they had to
depend upon drift wood and as there
came none up last year they were
sorely pressed. Ice reports from
that section as from every other
part of the coast, show that it is the
lightest ice ever known and the
heavy Arctic floes do not seem tj
have come down at all.

Yesterday afternoon Lawrence
Kerr and Henry Burgh left for a
trip to Solomon. It happened that
the dog team started off before
them, but was corralled near Rowe’s
before it got outside the city limits.
After the work of hitching up at
Hunter Way had been per
formed before an admiring
audience and Lawrence had
mounted the sled while Burgh took
possession of the handle bars the
dogs pulled loose the tug line
stretching the heavy copper spring
straight and careering wildly sans
sled and passengers down Front St
Lawrence found that the sled would
not budge without dogs, so after ad
justing the broken lines, the sled
was moved down the line to the
waiting dogs and the party started
off again.
