given a Christmas present. Seve~ 1
other Nomeites were met whose
names cannot be recalled at this
time. Practically no mining going
on there when the musher left,
and very little snow had fallen to
date. Mr. M’Dcwell, a prospector
from the Good News Bay country
arrived, a' d had left Marshall on
his return trip, a few days bofore
Mr. Kjeg3taa and Dr. Heimlich
reached the city. M’Dowell remain
ed a few days in Marshall before
starting or. his return trip to the
Good News Bay country. Before
leaving Marshall for the scene of
pay had been located on one of the
tributaries of Good tfews river, but
not sufficiently rich enough to
create a wild stampede. So far but
very few had left, or contemplated
1 leaving Marshal for the scene of
the reported strike.
Kjegstad remained over night at
St. Michaels on his way over, and
stopped at the reservation for thir
ty hours on the return trip. There’s
neither a roadhouse, lodginghouse
or hotel open at St. Mikes. Paul
and the doctor were extended a
very' courteous invitati'.i (which
they accepted) to remain at the
residence of Capt. Malmquist, the
Port Captain of the Yukon Trans
portation Co. The captain and his
wife, as well as Mrs. l’rank Wil
liams and Van Williams have been
very active over the-e in behalf of

eral years has been prospecting on
the tributaries at the head of
Anvik River, John Christensen also
a former Nomeite was met on the
trail between St. Mike’s and Marshall
A cannery will be opened next sum- j
mer at Andreafslii. it was to have
been opened am! operated la.-t sum
mer but a protest was made cn be
half of the natives who thought that
on account of the cannery company
going to install fish traps in the
river, it would prevent them from
securing fish enough to subsist on
during the winter months. Gov
ernment officials after thoroughly
investigating have anr.micably sett
led the question, and it is anticipat
ed that the first and only cannery
in the Yukon River will be doing
business next cummer. On the tenth
cf Jan. Mr. K.iegstad met Jake Kri
stan and Axel Smith near Old Ha
milton, they cro on a fur trading
trip, and were then heading to
ward St. Joseph Mission. He also

Bay on a fur trading trip. Also
met Walter Johnson near Andreaf
ski, he was speeding along behind ,

many inquires regarding Nomeites,
and sAt his best regards to all of
his friends in Nome. Mrs. Walter
Johnson Is also at St. Mike’s. There

native who spells his name some
thing like “Zimizimnliktik”.

Mr. Albert E. Edwards the Mar
shall Storekeeper owns the resting
place at Old Hamilton.
A half-breed by the name of Pe
chuk is the proprietor of the one
at Fish Village. It is said that
this ranks among the best of road
houses a traveler can put up at in
any part of the country, (white
table cloths and silver ware upon
the table, along with a first class
Chef is surely going some).
Charlie Hoemyer another former
Ncmoite is running the Mountain

Government School at this Village.
Both Cobb and his wife inquired
about friends in Nome, and sent

pleasure of being an invited guest
at the school house, and was treat
ed most royally by M(r. and Mr3.

school house at the Station. The *,

good shape for sledding, although j
