NEWS ABOUT
SGH. NEW JERSEY
In response to a letter of inquiry re
garding the schooner New Jersey ad
dressed to .1 if. Maguire, the govern
ment teacher at Wales, Rev. W. F.
Baldwin received the following reply
which will be of interest to those who
are anxious concerning the probable
fate of that boat. ,
Wales, Alaska. Jan 7. ISlu
Rev. W. F. Baldwin.
Nome, Alaska.
My Dear Sir:
Replying to your favor of December
21. T beg to advise you that the schoon
er New Jersey arrived at this place
from York about 1:00 p. m. on Sunday
1 October IS last, and left for Point Hope
and way points Wednesday October 21,
Mr. Orrin Rank visited with us dur
ing tlie time the schooner lay here. The
delay being caused by heavy seas in the
1 Arctic. On Tuesday the boat tried to
get through the straits but rough
weather drove it back for another day.
The boat took on a passenger from
1 this place, a native named Kopkonna,
who does more or less trading along
the coast.
1 Orrin Rank told me that the boat
1 was very seaworthy and ho was satis
fied with everything only ho was anx
■ ious to go direct to Point Hope nnd not
follow the coast. The native crew,
ho we veil, told me that t hoy would
stop at Hhishmaref and way places and
carried some mail to some of our
' friends up the coast. The men were all
’ in good health and spirits while here.
I have been told that a native seal
hunter saw the New Jersey outside of
tho shore ice, four miles from the
coast at a point close to llcpik hut evi
dently for reason of shore ice the boat
did not stop at Shishmaref. I have
asked the resident teacher at Khish
maref for information concerning the
New Jersey but have heard nothing
from him.
I have had mail from Kivalina dated
November 22 but it is evident that none
of our mail reached that place and no .
mention is made of the New Jersey in
any of the letters to hand.
At the time of leaving here there was
j a strong wind blowing from the East
i and some of our people are of tho opin
. ion that tiio New Jersey may have been
disabled and driven to tho westward.
A lauding may have been made on one
of tlie Diomede Islands or on the main
land. We truly hope that some such
| shelter lias been found.
U at any future time I can be of agiy
assistance to you in any manner what
| ever please consider me at your ser
j Vice
Sincerely yours,
* J. TT. MAGUIRE.

HUGO BYER TALKS
ABOUT ALASKA
Kvery now and then an old-timer
from the North goes down to Seattle,
where lie is regarded as a curio, and
not without reason. The P. I. says:
Hugo Tlyer, of most any place in Alas
ka that might be mentioned, is spend
ing tin- winter at Hie Arlington. Mr.
Byer is one more of the string of old
-time Alaskans who have joined in the
rush for the outside during the season
of inactivity. He has been in the
North most of the time since 1806, and
his present visit is his first in eight
years. “When I first went to Alaska
t here weren't any regular steamships
running there.” lie said yesterday. "We
went up from here on the old Port
land, which had been plying between
points from Portland down to Mexico.''
Mr.Byer has alternated between min
ing and trading, "and I'm not a rielt
man yet.” be said with a grin “I was
on the first boat up the Yukon to the
Klondike after the gold strike There
were thousands there then, and prices
were unbelievably high An egg, for
instance, cost a dollar and a half Other
| things were in proportion. The sup
lilies that we carried were all sold from
the boat and were unloaded and de
livered direct to the user.” Mr. Bye!
didn’t leave the boat for the chance ol
,i fortune, but he was early on the spot
at many of the finds that have followei
that of the Klondike, sometimes min
lug, sometimes trading. "I've been on
the Koyukuk, the Kobuk, In the Fair
banks district, Idltarod, Nome, Candle,
Council, most all of them,” he said
“But then everybody travels around In
Alaska Seems like the harder It Is to
get around In a place, the more the
people travel."

day secured a divorce from J. C. Ken
nedy former Alaska legislator of Can
