m *«**■»** mmmmmmm
Mr. Leo Nabokoff, who can boast
of the distinction of having hauled
down the Russian flag at the time of
i
the transfer of the territory of the
United States, arrived here on the
last Georgia. Mr. Nabokoff, at the
time of the transfer, was in the em- .
ploy of the Russian Fur company.
His mission here is to take charge
of the Russian archives now in the
library here and to translate the his
toric actions of the ancient Russian
navigators who were the first to make
voyages of discovery in, and take hold
of the great northern land.
The steam thawers are being oper
ated on Otter creek, a tributary of
Nome river. About a quarter of a
mile above the mouth, Galvin and
party are putting down a few holes
and will pile up a vast amount of dirt
during the coming winter. Another
thawer is being operated on a bench
farther upstream. The pay streak
on Otter creek is very crooked and in
places scattered, and is mined both
as a winter and summer proposition.
It is generally conceded that the pay
on this creek is part of the ancient
beach streak that runs along the low
foothills of the coast range as far as
Cape Nome. Pay has been found al
most on top of a high knoll about half
a mile from the mouth of Nome river.
Q
A dispatch from the P. I. from
Washington says that a final settle
! ment of the Alaska boundary line has
been reached. There was a small sec
tion of that boundary which was not
determined by the Alaska boundary
commission at its meeting in London,
for the reason that it had not been
surveyed. Mr. Tittman, president of
the survey, and Mr. King, of the Can
adian government, were appointed a
special commission to complete this
work, which has been done.
