Are Nome Visitors
Mr. and Mrs. Fixsen are visit
ors from McGrath where Fixsen
has his headquarters for the Land
Management Bureau. He states
that it has been an unusually busy
summer with so many fires, the
most important of which were at
McGrath and Kalstag. In the
Nome area, which he surveyed by
air, most of the summer tundra
fires centered around Davidson’s
Landing and the Imuruk Basin,
killing much wild life he stated.
He has made an aerial survey
of the timber in the Kuskokwim
and Unalakleet areas and said it
looks very promising, but that no
ground survey has been made to
date.
