CATCHING MANY
WHITE WHALES
Hon Nygren, who with his partner, i
Sam Torkelson, is making a success |
of 1 he white whale industry nl Cape
Nome is in town. His says that white
whale have been plentiful so far and j
that the coming month will be the j
biggest of tlio season. The white
whale are in comparatively poor con
dition this season owing to Ihe fact,
he believes, that a great many killer
whales are chasing them. He saw an
ocean tragedy recently. A killer rushed
into a school of whites and came up
with a big one in his mouth.
At the white whale plant at Cape
Nome no part of the animal is wast
ed. Hides, flesh, oil and bones are all
utilized. The hides bring a big price
and are made into the strongest kind
of leather. After the oil is extracted
the meat is dried and sold for dog
feed. The meat is good to eat tasting
very much like beef. Tn Norway it is
eagerly sought after and Is sold as
“steer of the sen.”
The oil of the white whale is said to
exeel Ihe oil of any fish. Some of the
local product now in Eclimann's store
is so clear and transparent that one
can look through it and easily read a
paper held on the other side. Tt sells
in England at the remarkablo price of
$j00 a barrel. One single fleet carrying
mi products oi ilie Norw cgiuu wit 11
whale industry has sold as cargo . ,
raniioUth ior Uic astounding total 01
60,500,000 crowns which is over $26,
000,000. At Cape Nome long Hots ale
used to catch the white whale which
average 12 or 13 feet in length. When
entangled in the net they are shot with
a title so as to injure the skin as lit
tle as possible. These sea mammals
are not at all ferocious. They show
tight occasionally when in the net,
but when they are not angered they
are so docile that the hand may lie
laid on them with safety. The food of
the white whale as disclosed by the
contents of the stomachs is tom cod,
huge codfish, salmon and an occasion
al crab. The bones are stacked to
dry and nre crushed eo he used as
fertilizer. In Norway the meat Is can
ned like beef.
Everybody in Nome is Interested in
the movement for good roads and long
marts lending from Nome to the places
: ii which this center should be con
nected. This subject will be covered
fujly in the Nugget's Pictorial Mining
Edition which will issue from the press
next month. Oet In your orders early
and send copies where they will do the
