NORMAN DAWN PARTY RETURNS FROM VALLEY
OF TEN THOUSAND SMOKES; PICTURES SUCCESS
Direct from the Valley of Ten
.^Thousand Smokes, where they obtain
ed some wonderful motion pictures for
use in connection with their second
Alaska feature, the Norman Dawn
party returned to Anchorage the first
of this week, on the gas boat Nile,
which took them to the entrance of
the valley over a month ago and later
returned with them, says the Anchor
age Alaska.
There was a lot of hard work going
into the valley, supplies ran low to
ward the end of the stay and other
things happened to add to the dis
comfort of the pilgrimage, but the
outing was not without its bright
side and the expedition was eminently
successful.
Half a dozen Indian Packers were
added to the party at Kodiak to light
en the burden of mushing into the val
ley, but the trip was a hard one, not
withstanding two long weeks being
consumed in making the journey from
the beach . They arrived in the val
ley on the Fourth of July and spent
^ three days there taking pictures. All
of the members of the company speak
enthusiastically of the beautiful pic
ture that unfolded before them as they
threaded their way into the Valley.
They found everything much as Dr.
* Griggs described it in his official re
port. He did not exaggerate the no.
of smokes. There appeared to be all
• of ten thousand, but it was noted that
some of the smokes had ceased to
smoke, indicating that a slowing down
of subterranean activities is in process
there. In fact, it is believed by some
members of the company that another
score of years will find the valley re
stored to peace and quiet. This be
lief was encouraged by many signs of
returning insect and bird life. It was
noted that the mosquitoes were quite
bothersome at times.
Signs of game were seen on the
trail, but not an animal of any kind
was sighted . Bear tracks were rath
er plentiful, and caribou noted at
frequent intervals.
Returning to the beach from the
valley, the provisions of the party be
gan to run low and for a number of
days they were on short rations num
erous items of food becoming entirely
exhausted by the time the Nile arriv
ed to take them back to civilization.
While waiting for the boat the party
camped in a little cove which had pro
^ vided shelter for them upon their ar
rival there several weeks earlier. They
pitched their tents on the beach and

when the tide came in—a much higher
tide than any seen by-^hem on the oc
casion of their earlier stop there.
And the worst of it was, it sneaked
in behind them, cutting off escape to
high ground. They were caught, sur
rounded and without means of protec
tion. It was a case of stand there
in the water, which rose rather high
where some of the tents were pitched,
until the tide receded. The fortunate
ones were in the water half way to
their knees. The others did not fare
so well. But it was bad only while
it lasted and after they were comfort
ably settled aboard the Nile, the tides
became quite a joke with the parly.

rough weather on the homeward voy

B. B. Mozee, local superintendent last
fall, recommending the removal of the

ments have been completed for the

the primary reason for the establish
ment of such an industrial school at

cation’s desire to train the Indian
children in their native environment
and climate and not send them out to
the Indian schools in the states. In
the past Indian children have been
sent to schools s» eh as Chemeva at
Salem, Oregon.

uncovered for a distance of about one
thousand feet. The rock resembles
that of the Alaska Hills, but the val
ues have not been ascertained as yet.
The owners of the property are satis
fied that the values are there, how
ever, and they are going ahead with
their development work, confident
that they have a good thing. When
Kimball and Moc left Nuka Bay, the
locators o fthe Iron creek find were
preparing to drive a tunnel into the
mountain, to tap the ledge at a depth
of 100 feet, - _ - T’ ^
Work is progressing steadily at the
Alaska Hills property. There are
about ten men at work there, driving
tunnel and getting the Ball mill
ready for operation. When Kimball
left it was believed that the lead
would be encountered shortly in the
tunnel .
The ore is to be moved to the mill
by means of a cable tram about one
thousand feet in length. The cable
is on the ground and the work of
putting it in place is in progress. By
the time the mill is set up and ready
to operate the tram probably will be
ready to deliver ore from the lead and
considerable grinding should be done
by the end of the season.
Frank Germain and Chris Lund
quist, oldtimers of that region, have
moved to McCarthy glacier, whei’e
they plan to spend several weeks pros
pecting. The glacier is about fifteen
miles from Nuka river, where the Al
aska Hills is located.
There are eight or nine outfits pros
pecting in the immediate vicinity of
Nuka river.
The weather was fine there dm*ing
the early summer, Kimball said, but
when he and Moe left on July 12, the
rainy season was starting in and the
hills were so thick with foliage that
it was difficult to prospect. The
country can be seen to better advan
tage later in the season and ^during
the early winter before the snow
comes . The winter does not set in
much before the first of the year us
ually.
Kimball and Moe made the trip to
Seward on the gas boat May, operated
by Chas. Emswiler, original locator
of much of the ground in the Nuka
Bay district.
