The weather continues mild, the
Ktewalik river is not yet frozen over
but the open mining season is closed
for ail except the dredge of the Can
dle Creek Mining Company which la
likely to contlnuo operation for some
time. About 15 pooplo Intending to
*P«nd the winter outaldo have boon
unxiously waiting for noarly two
weeks for ‘the ship that never re
turned.” The streams not yet being
frozen, and the water being very high,
it la almost Impossible to go overland
to Nome and people whose business
makes it Imperative that they catch
the last boat out from Nome, are
worrying. There has been nothing to
prevent a boat from getting Into Kee
wulik up to date and it certainly
seems an outrageous state of affairs
I that people who are willing to pay
i for such accommodation as Is afford
ed, and on which they have been de
pending, should be left In the lurch
at this season of the year.
What nearly proved a sad accident j
was happily averted a few evenings
ago when the little daughter of Mr.!
and Mrs. Riley broke through the Ice
at the confluence of Candle creek and
iho Keewalik river. .
The little girl, who Is only five
years old, was accompanied by her
little playmate, Dolly Snider, aged
seven, who with the intuition re
sourcefulness and courage of the child
of the north, promptly reached out,
grasped the hand of her little friend
and rescued her from her lee bath.
Had It not been for little Dolly’s
prompt and brave action, the little
girl had surely perished as no other
help was at hand, and the water being
high, the current is considerable. It
was surely a very brave and courag
eous rescue by a very resourceful lit
tle girl under the necessarily difficult
ci'uuiuuns cuncuniueuni wiui inis
class of accidents and with which we
ire all familiar. On being interro
gated, the youthful heroine spoke of
.he incident as of the most common
place and natural thing In the world,
and as though risking her life of
reach out for, and grasp her litMe
chum's hand and land her safely on
the Ice, were nothing at all.
Mr. George Wallin, proprietor of j
the Kugruk coal mine, Is opening up
the mine so as to be in a position to
supply the Inmachuk and Candle with
native lignite coal. With the same
object in View Mr. Holgar Johnson,
our enterprising freighter Is repair
ing the midway roadhouse and horse
barns at the head of Minnehaha creek.
Mr. Ivor Johnson proposes to aug
ment his dredging activities on Candle
next year and to that end is having
his dredge dismantled preparatory to
floating It down to the sea, on the
spring freshet, and thence towing
it around to that part of the Keewalik
river near the mouth of Candle
creek where we undei stand, he pro
poses to commence operation next
year.
