Small Pack of Wolves Seen
From Plane, Located Between
Flambeau and Eldorado Rivers
Several days ago Sig Wien
spotted a family of nine wolves,
even gray pups and two black
adults, on a low mountain be
tween Flambeau and Eldorado
Rivers, about 25 miles from
Nome. Yesterday he flew J. S.
Rood, Hank Miller, and Harry
Lewis to the spot.
They circles several times ov
es the wolves, which were not
the least frightened by the plane.
One animal appeared to be in a
playful mood, ran toward the
plane as it approached, and then
trotted after it.
The party had one rifle, so Sig
landed on a mountain about two
miles away. The men divided
and attempted to approach the
wolves afoot. Three wolves trot
ted to within a hundred feet of
Sig, who took a hurried shot with
a pistol as they ran. Three others
passed close to Hank Miller and
Harry, sneaking behind ridges to
escape.
Two shallow dens were noted,
but they appeared not to have
been used lately. The animals
now enjoy lying in the open,
where they get all of the sun
shine and escape mosquitos. They
rest during the daytime and hunt
at night. The bones of several
reindeer were found nearby.
It is well-known that wolves
have destroyed large reindeer
herds, and the Reindeer Service
continues to urge the owners to
herd their reindeer. The Govern
ment paid half the wages of four
herders on the Nome range this
past spring, but al lherders found
work at longshoring and mining
when the season opened up. It is
feared the nine wolves which
were seen yesterday will destroy
hundreds of reindeer this winter
unless they are billed, or the deer
are herded.
Mr. Rood has arranged to send
three natives with guns and
traps to the spot w'here the wol
ves were seen He has urged that
the Government provide two
pusher-type planes for wolf hunt
ing, one of these to be located at
! Nome, on a plan whereby com
mercial fliers wrould be hired as
needed. In the meantime, the
Reindeer Service has obtained
several dozen wolf traps for use
in the Nome region.
