In line with their increasing
■ activities the Seward chamber of
commerce should devote some
thought to gathering ore speci
| mens from the many prospects
in this area and arrange proper
display of them, according to O.
,B. Millett, well known resident of
I the Iliamna country, in a letter
addressed to the Gateway.
Mr. Miltett lauds the work of
the Seward organization, and the
Gateway, for their afforts in be
half of the Westward districts,
and he feels confident results
will accrue. Mr. Millett is particu
larly interested in mining owing
to the fact he and others in that
section of the Territory, have some
remarkably fine showings of cop
per. A box of samples, or speci
mens, were sent to the Gateway ,
by Mr. Millett and after inspect- I
ing same, several local miners de
clare it to be excellent ore; not
high grade, yet far above the or
dinary.
Mr. Millett reports the past
winter has been so mild in his
section that Iliamna lake did not
freeze over and as far as snow j
was concerned, very little fell.

“The Indians wished to turn the
raven black and thus destroy its
power of evil. They built a great
fire in a hut, heaping pitch on
the flames until black smoke rolled
thru the roof. Then they released
the raven, which flew thru the
j smoke thru the hole in the roof
I and escaped. But it had been
blackened and its power of evil
was shattered, it is seen on the
pole, a dejected figure.
“At the bottom of the pole sits
the goddess who is the spirit of the j
tides. When the tide is too high I
she pushes it back with the stick
seen in her hands. The Indians
wanted to launch a canoe and
pleaded with her to permit the
tide to float the craft. She re
fused, declaring that it would
cause a flood. So the Indians
tricked her into releasing the tide, j
They got two sea eggs, small shell
fish with spiney stickers. As the
goddess sat one day preparing to
‘push the tide back,’ they put
these sea eggs under her. The i
goddess jumped up and the stick j
with which she controlled the j
tides fell into the ocean. The
waters rose. Those who believed
in her power sought safety in the
canoe. All the others perished.
“This is the Indian story of the
flood.”

product of the Chemawa Indian
School in Oregon, for which he
quite naturally cherishes a warm
and enduring affaction.
The subject of Indian lore and
the marvelous opportunities of re
search into the remote past which
it opens up is so deep and wide
that a newspaper or even a mag
| azine story could not begin to do
it justice. Realizing its great im
portance, Mr. Ready has begun
the preparation of a series of ar
ticles in this direction, which he
hopes to have ready for publica
tion in the early fall.
Mr. Ready arrived from Anchor

ber of the Gateway staff.
