NORTHERN LIGHTS
To Robert Scott, Cordova high
school instructor, goes the honor of
discovering and igniting the largest
gas hole on Lake Eyak in the past
few years. Mr. Scott discovered the
hole while skating near the vicinity
of East Arm recently. It measured
nine feet across and protruded from
the lake surface in the form of a huge
frost bubble approximately two feet
in heig-nt «<, ito center. When ignited
it burned quietly for several minutes
and then burst out into huge flames
for several more .minutes before dy
ing out.
Joe Janey and Billy Gussie left
Cordova last week for Mile 17, where
they will establish a muskrat farm.!
A plot of ground, covering 80 acres, i
will be used for the purpose and two
buildings 6x4x40 feet will be erected ‘
as pens. They intend going trapping,
after their farm is fitted up, and ex
pect to start in business in the spring J
with about 100 pairs of muskrats. As j
the animals multiply rapidly it is pre
dicted that within the next two years
they will have 20,000 muskrats.
Dr. J. A. Sutherland, Territorial
Health officer of the Second division,
received a telegram last w'eek from
Dr. White, physician in charge of the
government hospital in Tanana, stat
ing that several cases of small pox
had just developed there among the
natives. While it is believed that the
situation as yet is not serious, Dr.
Sutherland immediately dispatched a
supply of vaccine points and has ar- 1
ranged for a further supply to be rush- <
ed from Anchorage and Juneau. <
Mrs. Blanche Cascaden returned to
Fairbanks from Livengood and re
ports that a number of owners and
aymen will be working in that camp
luring the present winter. It is not
sxpected, however, that very exten
sive operations will be carried on next
year as it is claimed that Thos. Ait
ken has taken all of Livengood creek
under option.
