Kanatak has had many Bristol
I visitory this winter. The doff trai
\ were unusually good tho it was after ^
| the first of the year before the first,
mail team, driven by Nelson, was able]
| to get through. The cold weather and
heavy snow fall which followed made
dog mushing easy. Most of these men
brought over fur ,remained for a shou
visit and returned with supplies.
From Ugashik Axel Johnson was
first to arrive with his fur. He was
followed by Ben Hansen, who drove
over the finest looking dog team which
| ' has been seen in Kanatak. .Billie Sul
! 'livan and a native team brovught over
their catch. Charlie Smith 'find three
Eskimos, formerly from Nlwne brot
i over fur and moccasins. They found
old Nome friends at Kanatak xn Char
j lie Madsen and Sol Warren.
Two natives from Naknefc joined
teams with two natives from Fgogik
and made record time coming ewer the
trail.
Jack Lowe of Dillingham, finished a
fur buying trip down the Bristol Fay
coast and brought over the largest in
dividual shipment of fur that has bet'n
forwarded through the local posir
office.
Fred Madsen and r red Kraun ui \
Naknek and W. L. Johnson of Libby
' ville, winter men for the canneries,
drove over for a visit. There were 52
dogs in their combined teams.. Recent,
i rains had raised the snow line so the j
t dogs were left at the fish village and,
the two men walked in the rest of the
j vvay. They returned to their teams on
I! saddle horses and transported their
purchased on pack horses. About half
way over the divide some ox me
stampeded, the cheechako packer’s dia
mond hitches failed to hitch and two
of the horses returned to Kanatak with
their saddles where their belly-bands
should be. Supplies ranging from tooth
j brushes to shu pacs were scattered all
! along the trail and travelers are still
picking things out of the snow from
time to time. .
From Kanatak Demion has driven j
over to Egegik for a visit. Demion and
Andrew Sam have been transporting
•supplies, mail, passengers and perish
able goods out to the drill camps al
winter. They even hauled hay and
oats for the horses.
Mr. and Mrs. Murphy drove ovli-i
from Ugashik and are visiting rela-{
tives in Kanatak. No this is not an |
Irish couple. Murphy is a chief of the
natives at Ugashik and is a full-blood
ed native. His name is unpronounce
able to all whites and to most natives
so he is known as Murphy. Just about
two years ago he drove into Kanatak
accompanied by a Russian Priest. He
was married to the daughter of Nicholi
Kolmacoff, who was a chief in the
native village of Katmai before the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes was
born.
The weather has been very mita ai
Kanatak the past month. The rain
here turned into snow by the time it
reached the mountains at the drill
camps. The snow fall in those moun
tains has been very heavy this year.
The Standard’s bunkhouse was con
structed in a small cut in the hillside.
The snow has now drifted completely
over the top of the roof of the build
ing. Shafts were sunk at each of the
windows and the light is reflected into
he buildings from white snow walls
of the shafts. You enter the building
by descending a winding stairway cut
the shafts and stairways must be
cleared of the drifted snow.
The horses walk over the roof of the
building on top of the snow. Boys who
aie on the night towews, oftet remark
they retire in the da> time, “I hope
old Jerry takes h\s shoe. o:T before he
gets in bed with me.” But the roof
o far has al.v.yt held Jerry.
Jerry lives in a stable which is com
plete jy covered by the snow but he
won't walk on top of it. He enteis
his place by descending staii steps cut
in the solid snow banks on a forty-fiev
degree incline. He is the last one
looked after in the morning. The only
feed that he finds is that which grows
in the garbage boxes, but he likes a
glimpse of daylight just the same, no I
matter what the weather.
The fuavy snow has not interfarred
with drilling operations.
