some of his bench ground along
the Kougarok River about 8
miles above Taylor.
Another old timer of the north
who has been paying us a short
visit is Edward (Shorty) Woods
of the Kobuk district. Shorty,
who is an octogenarian, has
roamed the north country for
close on to 40 years prospecting
and mining, making his head
quarters at Kiana. He is on his
way to the Pioneer Home at Sit
ka for medical attention and rest.
Shorty with the true spirit of the
old time prospector says this
will only be a pleasant interlude
—as soon as the medicos patch
him up he will return to his old
stamping grounds. During his ab
sence, Shorty has leased his
Klery Creek ground to Teddy
Westlake and partners.
Another departing old timer
for Alaska’s Pioneer Home was
John Ronna who left Golovin
via PAA plane last week. John
was one of the contingent hired
by the U. S. Government and
brought from Northern Norway
in 1898 to Unalakleet, to instruct
our natives in the herding and
care of reindeer.
In later years he had his own
herd of deer ranging the Buck
land area but several years ago,
disposed of his holdings, going to
Candle to live until a year ago
when he joined another of that
original band of ’98ers, Pete Ol
son at Golovin.
