Libby’s cannery at Egegik put up
a record pack in nine days.
Indications point to an increas3
in the fur output this winter as
! there are many more trappers
planning to go out this year than
in former seasons, Roberts stated.
Work is available to all who
want it as a result of the five miles
; of road being constructed by the
Alaska Road Commission as part
of the new Federal program of
new construction works. The wage
scale for laborers is $6.00 per day.
The road is about half completed.
Roberts estimates the winter
population of the Bristol Bay re
gion as between 600 and 700.
Dredge Men Enjoy
Successful Season
M. R. and C. A. Forsgren, young i
Nome dredge operators, were re- j
cent visitors in the city on their J
way to their Seattle home, after
a mast successful season.
They are operating on the Im- 1
nechuck river on Kotzebue Sound
and were more fortunate than
other operators in the Nome area
in regard to sufficient water to
carry on operations. J
This was their third season and
they expressed themselves as be
ing highly optimistic concerning
the prospects for next year, with
the new gold price setup.
They found a huge ivory tusk
of some prehistoric mammal dur
ing their operations this year and
also report the finding of two big
teeth in some ground five miles
north. Most of the bones of these
early mammals have generally
been found in the Fairbanks and
Dawson areas but very few around
Nome, they said.
Local ice skaters have been
sharpening their steel foot-pieces
during the last several days for
sport on the many nearby lakes.
The ice on Grouse lake was said
to be as much as five-inches in
thickness but was still open in
some places. Local lakes are froz
en and several have already ven
tured forth on skates.
