HUDSON BAY FUR BUYER
MAKES LONG WINTER TRIP
(Nome Nugget »
Frar.k Martin, northen manager
of the Hudson Bay Fur Company,
of Seattle, has returned to Nome
from a long fur-buylr.r trip and re
; ports that success attended his ef
forts although he experienced con
siderable hardship as the result of
unfavorable weather and trail con
ditions.
Martin left Nome early in March
and proceeded as far north as Point
Hope, returning on May 5, having
covered a distance of 1400 miles
during his absence. From Nome to
Kotzebue the trail and weather
were favorable and the trip was un
attended by any particular difficult
ies; but beyond that point storm*
made traveling most difficult. Some
days the blizzards were so severe
that only a dozen miles could be
made in five hours, with thirteen
dogs. As habitations were few and
far between it often became neces
sary to make camp and stay in the
open,, .:ii experience that is danger
ous as well as unpleasant.
Natives in the Point Hope country
are not in the best of condition,
food is scarce and, where obtain
able, frequently is prohibitive in
price, as high as two dollars a pound
being charged for a pound of tea.
Learning, or. May 6. tha‘ some
purchases had been overlooked in:
the Teller district. Martin, without
completing his rest, proceeded to
outwit his competitors. He hitched
up his team and made the run to
Teller without stop, a distance of
90 miles, in fourteen hours, and ob
tained one of the finest assortments
of white and red fox brought into
Nome this winter.
Martin returned to Nome with
three hundred prime skins, includ
ing white and red fox, wolves, polar
bear and many smaller skins.
FISH BOAT BRINGS DISEASE
George Cotter, game warden, re
, turned to Sewr.rd recently and re
ported a dozen case* of smallpox
aboard the fishing boat Star of
, Italy, belonging to the Alaska Pack
jetr. The boat had been ar.choraed,
under quarantine, o.T Naknek, and
the cases were being looked af'er
by a competent medical stuT.
j Miss Brownie Mae Bohannon, of
the local depot, will leave for Fair
banks on Monday on a brief holiday.
TRACK IN FINE SHAPE NOW;
FAST TIME POSSIBLE SOON
F. A. Hansen, engineer mainten
ance and construction, returned to
' Ner.ana on Thursday, aboard his
: Ford speeder, and reports that the
work of ballasting track south of
the Canyon, is progressing in a very
satisfactory manner. The work, he
says, would have been completed be
| fore now but for the fact that frost
was encountered in the gravel pits.
This handicap is still bothering a
little but not sufficiently to retard
the work materially.
The entire section of the railroad
in the Broad Pass region, over
which the work of laying steel was
completed last fall, has now been
fully ballasted and surfacing gangs
are busy completing the work. It is
believed that by the end of another
month this portion of the road will
be in shape to permit of trains be
. :ng operated over it at ton speed.
Two gangs of 100 men each are
now engaged in surfacing work. One
gang is at Mile 334 and working to
ward Mile 320 and the other is at
Mile 317, working south toward
Mile 202. These gangs are reported
to be doing good work, with an
average of about a mile a day of
surfacing.
SEAPLANE TO BE FEATURE
OF ANCHORAGE CELEBRATION
One of the features of s the An
chorage celebration will be aerial
stunts by Aviator C. 0. Hammon
tree, who has already made several
flights over the coast town in his
seaplane.
The machine was shipped to An
chorage during the spring, but fly
ing was delayed because of the non
arrival of important parts. These
were received on a recent boat and
the aviator circled the west end^of
the city three times in his initial
flight a few days ago. Arthur Marsh,
of the Brown & Hawkins store, ac
companied the aviator as passenger.
The aviator is open for engage
ments and has expressed a willing
ness to make a flight over the
mountains to N'enana for the pur
pose of giving an exhibition here.
Should he “show” at Nenana, he
would use the broad expanse of the
Tanana river for a landing field.
Captain A. E. Lathrop, head of
the Empress circuit, is due in N'e
nana tonight from the coast.
