Corwin Sails for Seattle
The steamer Corwin sailed early
this morning for Seattle. Captain
West went out yesterday and secured
a fine black bear. The captain has been
for many years during the summer in
northern waters. He runs north from
St Michael in the summer up into the
Arctic ocean along the coast. During
j these trips in the summer he employs
some native Eskimos on the boat, and
finds them very intelligent and effi
cient help. The country there abounds
in wild game, though the natives are
killing it off rapidly just for the pure
love of slaughtering ihe animals.
That far northern country, the cap
tain says is very rich in all kinds of
minerals. There are great beds of as
bestos, and coal mines of almost limit
less extent, veins forty feet thick and
extending for hundreds of miles. The
winters of course are cold and the
winds severe, but the summers are
comparatively Calm and pleasant.
This has been the pleasantest summer
the captain has known in the north,
though there has been a scarcity of
rain which has been a handicap to the
miners.
