Thoughts while strolling arou

^ d town—passing the Rude resi
deuce on Stedman Ave., scene of
Nome’s most recent wedding—
thinking back over the years
and remembering when this build
‘ ing housed Alaska's ^rst worn
^'01 an’s club, called the “Kegoyah
arK Kozga”, meaning in the Eskimo
anc language, “Northern Dwellers.”
^ This historic woman’s organi
ei z.ation was formed at the turn of
1 the century in the wild roaring
wit
Dr; ....
days of Nome’s beginnings, when
women’s club work even in the
6tates proper, was still in its
swaddling clothes. For a num
ber of years this club' acted as
sort of community center for
those who had no yen for the
■bright lights of the saloons and
dance haLls, and around it cen
tered much of the social life of
this then remote outpost of civ
ilization. Time, the great leveler,
has made many changes thru
the years of Nome’s history. For
some years this club was out of
existence, but of recent years has
again grown popular among
many of Nome’s womenfolk.
A V Cordovado, prominent
Seward Peninsula mining man,
and for the past nineteen years
operating on the Inmaehuk Riv
er in the Deering section, came
into town yesterday to transact
business and visit around a bit.
“Tillie” reports a very satisffact
ory season, the Forsgren dredge'
having 'moved onto the Cordo
vado Gold Dredging Co.’s ground
this spring, shutting down sever
al days ago after a full season’s
work. Next season will see a
second dredge on this large body’
of proven placer ground, a fur
ther concrete demonstration of
the efficacy of faith and determ
ination in the face of great diffi
oulties, most of them unwarrant
ed.
Emil Laurin, longtime mining
operator on Macklin Creek in
the upper Kougarok. returned to
Nome vesterday for the winter.
Emil re ports an excellent seas
on’s work, and says he now
knows how the Egyptians felt'
after the seven years drought.
Water was plentiful and the har
ves bountiful.
Si Wallen and S. Montague,
two prospectors of Nome’s young
er generation, which by the way
' is a rarity and worthy of" com
ment, returned Wednesday by
plane from the North, after sev
eral months.spent in the vast up
per Kobuk country. These enter
prising young prospectors cover
ed a lot of territory, ranging
from Shungnak to the Walker’s
Lake section and are well satis
fied with their preliminary in
vestigations, intending to pur
sue their quest further next seas
1 on.
It was not so long ago when
Alaska’s northern game wardens
covered their immense districts
