U.S. Smelting President
Studying Problems of
Company At Nome
F. S. Mullock, president of the
U.S. Smelting Co., accompanied
by Roy Earling, former manager
of the Fairbanks operations of the
company and now a consulting
engineer, arrived last Friday and
have been studying the serious
problems confronting the company
in this area involving repairs to
Dredge No. 5 and the serious
shortage of water throughout the
area.
We have had dry seasons be
fore but this is the driest in the
memory of even our oldest in
habitants. The combination of no
rain and little snow last winter
is causing even the Moonlight
Springs, which is Nome’s summer
■water supply to be practically dry.

Polar Bear Shot
Near Koyuk
A letter has been received from
Henry Adams of Koyuk, Alaska,
stating that he shot a polar bear
near the village on the 17th of
June.
Henry said he killed the bear
with his second shot at about
a hundred yards.
Henry thinks that it is the far
thest south a polar bear has ever
been found but would like to
know if any have ever been seen
further south. Koyuk is the native
village at the head of Norton Bay,
on the Koyuk River, about 140
miles east of Nome.
The letter further said that the
bear was very fat and was divided
amfcng the 15 families living at
Koyuk. Most of the people liked
the meat although it was the first
time they had ever tasted polar
bear.
Henry Adams, with his brother
Alfred, and Archie Henry had
shot a brown bear earlier in the
spring, and Adams further said
that he brought in 14 beluga
whales during the spring hunting
season.
Henry is a son of Milton Adams,
the ferry operator at Safety La
goon, on the Nome-Council road.

Fortune and R. Patanod, who for
the past three years have obtained
deer from this area for showing
