INMACHUK NOTES
Special Correspondence
PEERING, May 29.—While this
month has cleared away considerable
snow in here, particularly on the hills
where It was not so heavy. It has been
l'ar from pleasant; no sunshine to men
tion, cloudy, misty, chilly und gener
ally disagreeable. The large drifts arc
gradually trickling their hulks away,
and till the streams are throwing wa
ter at a great rate, permitting our win
ter operators to start cleaning up their
dumps. The ice in the sea shows no
signs of moving. However, a .good
storm will doubtless break it up, as It
cannot be very thick, having been
formed late In the winter; a couple of
earlier formations having been blown
away.
The body of Alex Slcotte, who was
lost in a blizzard last March, was
found on the 19th inst by Pick Kscholt,
after laying in the snow about two
months. The body was found on the
right limit of the river near tlie mouth
of Iowa creek. It was laying in a snow
hank in the attitude a man would as
sume on turning in for a sleep, the
arms under the head for a pillow,
proving conclusively that having be
come exhausted from his wanderings
and realizing that he was lost he calm
ly lay down for his last sleep. On be
ing informed by phone of the discov
ery, Frank Knapp immediately hitched
up his team and went up river, not
withstanding the bad traveling and
brought tlie body to town. The funeral
took place on the 20th. Rev. Dr. Re
progle rendering an affecting sermon,
nnd the burial service at the grave,
which was excavated near town, high
up on Egg hluff overlooking the sea.
And thus pnsseth another pioneer
prospector. “Requiescat in pace.’’
Al. Wrlnklcr. the Candle freighter
la over here with his team He has
permanently retired from business in
Candle, having disposed of his office,
residence, stables and other biddings
In that camp.
Deputy Marshal Hart Humber drop
ped in on us again a few days ago
We hope lie finds our morals equal to
the average.
That Idl'd of good omen, tlie stork
visited the residence of Mr. and Airs
D. Hoogendom the oilier day and left
In their charge a husky young Ameri
can of potential value to Cnele Sam
us a soldier, in some of our uncle's
future wars. Mother and babe are do
ing nicely.
The H. Bourn Co. nulflt have started
to clean up their dump nnd when frost
prevents shoveling In they hoist and
sluice fresh dirt. They are doing well.
These hoys are Indefatigable prospec
tors and this good stake they are mak
ing Is merely their due, for perserver
ance like theirs is deserving of sub
stantial reward. They are pumping
their water.
The Hammond-Roust outfit hnve
made a start at cleaning up with side
hill snow water, but will soon have
their pump going and make greater
progress, ns the side hill water is very
limited. This outfit is also pleased with
results ns shown.
The Bourn Co. and the Hammond
Co. will continue their work as far
into the summer as they possibly can.
Freighter Frank Knapp has made a
cleanup of the town, having hauled nil
the garbage out on the ice. Frank vol
untarily assumes this sanitary duty
every spring, to the everlasting grati
tude of the residents.
Emil O. Pnsteris is renovating the
Seward hotel and the Fairliaven Em
porium, and everything about his
places of business is tnklng on a fresh
and bright appearance
Swans, cranes, geese nnd ducks
have been the “piece de resistance" on
many tables in this section already.
The hoard of education has conclud
ed to tear down and remove to the
Kohuk the fine school building at this
point. That Is a real pity. There are
a dozen or more white nnd hnlf breed
children at present here, and as the
camp grows, more children will come,
who could use this building to good
advantage. The hoard Is moving the
Eskimos to a timbered country nnd
will give them a sawmill, so this build
ing could easily he left standing here.
Advices from the outside contain the
information that we will probably have
a couple more teams freighting in hero
this summer. Tt Is stated that Super
intendent Charles M. Garfield of the
Huh Mining Co. is bringing in a team,
and the F. W. Co. which lost some
horses on the river here last summer
Is also bringing in a team.
Frank Knapp Is a great practical
Joker and sometimes will work himself
j or his horse very Imrd to get’off one of
his Iokcs.
• ■ -
! Manager Thomas Madden, of the I-’.
I W. Co. with the aid of Foreman George
' Wallin and Charles Nelson Is making
! great progress in clearing the ditch
I line. Me is already receiving water
from the lower ditch, and is doing
some piping down at the works.
Mr. II. 1,. Stall, whose royalty from
his lease to the Bourn Co. will he of
generous proportions, contemplates a
trip to the outside on one of the early
boats. Me will return in the fall with
a large outfit, and will himself ex
ploit some of his other holdings. Mr.
Stall owns several claims ia here anil
all are in o likely neighborhood.
The fine strikes made in here last
winter has put all our hoys on their
mettle and next winter promises to
see more holes stink to bedrock than
has happened in a good long time.
