The two prospecting parties
sent into the Unuk River dist
rict by the Unuk River Syndi

out of the district, owing to the
failure of the Canadian Air

miles from the point where
they were prospecting.

Funds Primary Need Of
Nome Fire Sufferers
Undaunted by the terrjble
fire disaster overtaking their
thriving community last week,
Nome residents are preparing
to rebuild the 'town and but
few of the inhabitants of the
famous gold city on Bering Sea
plan to leave, according to the
latest reports received here.
All of the stricken town’s im
mediate needs for relief are
amply provided for, according
to an announcement by the
mayor of the fire-razed center,
but money for rebuilding is
badly needed. The city’s fi
nances are depleted and a
quarter million dollars will be
needed to replace the city wat
er system, fire equipment,
street lights, sidewalks and
ether civic equipment.
Formal application for that
amount of funds has been '
made to> Secretary Ickes by
governor John W. Troy and is
now under consideration by the
Public Works chief. The gov
ernor also announced that he
had asked for $50,000 for op
erating the municipal govern
ment.
Facing the rigors of Arctic
winter, many of the residents
who lost their all in the confla
gration may be forced to un
dergo considerable suffering if
financial assistance is not.
available, the reports said. If
the requested $50,000 is given, .
part of the funds will be used
to build bunkhouses and wash
rooms to shelter those who
are without means.
In the meantime supplies are I
being rushed to the stricken !
community in large quantities.
The Lomen Commercial Co.,
leading commercial organiz
ation of t^ie district, has order
ed 1,200 tons of coal to> be
shipped to Nome at once, thus
providing one ot the primary
living requirements of a dist
rict where no local fuel of
any character is available. The
big Alaska Steamship Comp
any freighter Dellwood left
Seattle this week with a capac
ity load of building materials
and general snpplies. The
company also announced a 50
per cent cut in freight rates, in
addition to a reduction in light
erage charges at Nome. The
Northwestern Steamship Co.
also dispatched a 2,000-ton
ship laden with general sup
plies, in addition to lowering
freight charges.
Various Alaska towns are re
ported raising funds for relief
of the fire victims.
