ARCTIC AIRMAIL
SERVICE STARTED
The first authorized airmail
service north of the Arctic
Circle >vas started recently
with the landing of a mail dis
patch at Wiseman, Alaska, by
Pilot A. A. Bennett of the
Fairbanks airplane corporat
ion.
Only first class mail was car
ried, but the residents of the
camp are jubilant over the;
service, as Wiseman would
otherwise be without mail of
any kind until July.
At Noorvik, north of the
Arctic Circle, the world’s far
thets north sawmill is being
operated by natives, who, un
til a few years ago, never saw
a steel tool.
Noorvik is east of Kotzebue
Sound, on the Kobuk liver.
There, through its Seattle of
fice, the United States Bureau
of Education maintains an ed
ucational plant, of which the
sawmill is a part.
With one suspect in jail and
another being examined, the
Cordova federal authorities
are investigating the recent
death of Kick Stahis, pool hall
proprietor, who is believed to |
have been murdered and his i
place set on fire.
The tug Meteor, towing 450,
000 feet of logs from Chacon
to the Ketchikan Spruce
(
^Mills, was recently picked up
Jby the steamship Princess
Mary in a disabled condition,
three miles south of Narrow
Point, and towed to Wrangell.
The log boom broke loose and
is reported adrift.
The Cordova Chamber of
Commerce has decided to have
5,000 pamphlets printed, ad
vertising the Copper River
Keystone Canyon tour, which
will be profusely illustrated.
Eight tourist parties have al
ready been booked to make
the trip over this scenic route.
The motorship Iskum, a blue
fox island tender, was dashed
oil the rocks at Unamak re
cently, during a heavy squall.
Natives aided the crew in
reaching shore. Later they
were picked up and taken to
Unalaska. It is feared that the
boat and cargo are a total loss.
The vessel struck heavy se .;
and blinding snowstorms from
the time it left Seattle. The
Iskum was formerly operated
as a trading vessel on the Si
berian coast.
According to advices receive I
in Anchorage, the Peterson Oil
Co. will resume drilling oper
ations in the Chickaloon fields
within a short time. It is al.o
reported that another company j
will drill this year in the j
Chickaloon fields.
