Chief George Ermeloff has just
returned from a two weeks trip to
his fox island in the Pacific Ocean.
Many families of blue fox are grow
ing nicely and the Chief has vi
sions of many excellent pelts next
! winter.
Don Eustacio Uguldae returned i
. to his first love yesterday when he
: saw the fleecy sides of the thou
' &ands of sheep of the Aleutian
Livestock Company. The Don has
been for a visit down in the States
but the call of the bleating lamb
was too strong. He is a stockholder
in the Kanaga Ranching Co., and
the Adak Fur Propogating Co., with
many fox island permits in the
Western Aleutian Islands.
Two bi-planes zoomed over Um
nak the other day, headed for the
North. The natives gazed with1
wonder as the two great sky birds
circled the village and darted away, j
* * * *
The U. S. S. Cutter Tahoe visited
Umnak last week and the tooth ex
tractor was kept busy for a while.
* * * *
Wedding bells will soon ring in
; Umnak. The prospective bride
groom is now out West helping
bring back the damaged “Umnak
Native”. The return of the priest
will culminate the affair.
* * * *
| In spite of cool weather, gardens [
seem to be steadily advancing and!
fresh vegetables will soon be in the!
j local menus.
Mr. Fuhrman, veteran sheep man,
arrived on the last SS. Starr, and
has assisted through the lambing
season. Peter L. Jensen, the cap-1
able manager of the Aleutian Live
stock Company, now has three long
experienced assistants. Shearing
will begin in the near future. Thou
sands of lambs materially increase
the herd.
THIRTEEN KILLED
MANILA, July 4, —Thirteen men,
including Ross Hagler, engineer in
the Bureau of Public Works, were
killed by a premature dynamite ex
plosion aboard a blasting boat. The
boat was engaged in removing rock
at the mouth of the Cambay river.
The explosion completely wrecked
the boat and most of the bodies
were lost.

GOLD SEEKER IS
RIVALED RY GAT
i
While many jobless men in Cali
fornia are making a fair living
prospecting for gold along the
mountain streams in the Mother
* Lode section in the summer and
! fall months, C. H. Hopewell, of
j Bangor, Me., says that hundreds
| of others are deriving some income
1 trapping wildcats in the woods of
his state for the state bounty and
the sale of pelts.
The wildcat is the boss of the
Maine woods and has greatly in
creased in numbers during the last
years. The state bounty has been
increased from $10 to $20 while in
the open market the pelts bring $2.;
Last -year some 3,000 wildcats were i
caught, giving the hunters a total!
of $66,000.
In this connection, Walter Brad
ley of the California Division of
Mines, thinks this summer there
should be 10,000 individual pros
pectors for gold in the mountain
streams as was the case last year
when their aggregate sales of the
yellow metal to the San Francisco
mint was over $1,000,000.
“In addition,” he said, “in the
summer and fall months there will
be 10,000 miners at work in the gold
and other mines and in the non
metallic properties. Six thousand
men have steady jobs in the gold
mines throughout the state.”
William Sulzer, former governor
and one time a congressman of New
York, has struck it rich in gold
quartz and gold placer properties
near Chandler, Alaska, north of
Nome, Dawson and Fairbanks.
His partner, D. A. Murphy of
Chandler, told of the mentioned
strike while at the Hotel St. Francis
en route home from a conference
with the ex-governor in New York
City.
“No doubt our gold mines are the
farthest north on the North Ameri
can continent. The point is about
300 miles north of Fairbanks. The
airplane makes it easily accessible
any time during the year.”
TORRENTIAL RAINS
KERYVILLE, Texas, July 4, — j
Kerryville still was isolated Sun
day by the flood waters from the
Guadalupe river, the result of tor- i
rential week-end rains. Two per-'
sons were drowned in a normally j
dry draw on Spring creek. South- j
west of San Antonio six persons
were missing in the vicinity.
Though not a drop of rain fell j
within the environs of Seward pro
per, despite the threatening clouds i
overhead in the evening it is re-1
ported that a rain storm similar i
to f». cloud-burst was experienced
at Woodrow, Mile 7.
The river steamer Yukon left
Fort Gibbons today at 1 a. m. up
river to Nenana.
The mines of the United States
and dependencies contribute 22 per
cent of Federal income.

The Alaska Railroad made a rate
over the 4th of July to Fairbanks
of one fare for the round trip, from
McKinley Park and way points. If
the railroad management will give
a similar rate of one fare for the
round trip during the summer and
fall, from Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks to McKinley Park, it^
would enable a large number to!
have a most delightful outing, and |
many would visit for the first time I
“Nature’s Wonderland,” M t. Mc
Kinley National Park, the largest
park in the world.
* * * *
A number of Fairbanks lady
school teachers are spending the ;
summer around McKinley Park
station.
* * * *
While tourist travel to the Park
is weathering the depression as
good as could be expected, it is
noted that a number of parties, not j
booked, are visiting here.
* * * *
, The firing of high-power rifles
in the direction of the Park is not
a mixup between Russia and Japan, ,
but Park Rangers out on a wolf
drive. It seems this is the time of
the year when Ma Wolf takes the
rising generation out to show ‘em
how to kill fat lambs, the instruc
tions, of necessity, being in day
light hours. The kill, including to
tals from former years, is said to
be nine naughts in a row.
NEPTUNE BECINIE PEEVISH
MID KICKED DP HEELS
Clark Andresen and Bob Hall
celebrated the Fourth of July by
runninng up to the San Juan Cold
Storage in Bob’s speedboat. This
evidently made Neptune peevish.
He kicked up a nasty swell and put
feathers in his hat.
On the return trip while the
“put-put” put-putted Neptune rung
in his white steeds and challenged
them for a race—took a length in
front and kicked water into the
faces of the two Jack Tars- They
finally took refuge under a piece of
canvas. But when they moored
the Flamo at the ocean dock both
had to stand on their heads to bail
the water out of their pockets,
shoes, B. V. D’s and ears.
After taking turnabout wringing
each other’s shirt-tails, they took
to the back alleys home. Clarke’s
marcelle was a disgrace.
WERE ON RUSSIAN RIVER
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Crawford, ac
companied by son Benny and Clar
ence Larsen spent t|ie Fourth of
July on Russian River. They left
Seward Saturday by auto and took
a boat down to Cooper’s Landing
where they remained overnight.
The next morning they went down
to the famous fishing stream and
spent almost the entire day there.
They returned to Seward Monday
evening.
Two more Sewardites yesterday
qualified for membership in the
local Mountain Climbers’ Club
when Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Stroupe
scaled the lofty Mt. Marathon be
neath a scorching sun.
