given to other remunerative work
and a a soon as navigation closed he
each year, continued the boat build
At the present time the hall Is
entirely completed and moat of the
calking has been done. Th^re still
remains the installation of the pow-1
er plant and propeller and the boat
will be ready for launching- Gus
expects to l>e ready to launch by the
time Bering sea is free from Ice.
Made of Washington fir the craft
presents a trim appearance, each
stick of wood and every nail and bolt
is new and the entire structure is
the work of a mechanic who laves
his work. This child of his own
brain and hand is a tribute to the
man who single handed, undaunted
by time or finances, now views the
fulfillment of his dream.
The new boat Is of the flat bottom
ed type, has a beam of 15 feet, and
is 50 feet 8 inches long. With itfl
theoretical load of 35 ton dead
ueigth this boat will draw 3*6 t* 4
feet of water and can run Into Snake
river when other keel and semi-kiel
boats would have to remain in the
roadstead.
It is intimated that the City of
Nome may aeqnire this new boat for
use by the City when the harbor
plans are carried to completion.
With the installation of an eighty
borse power engine this craft will
prove a valuably addition to the
power boats of this section of Bering

where he will become interested In
placer mining.
Natives In this part of the country
ha ye had a good fur catch, one
caught 24 martin and the entire
cat<^i will approximate 300 martin.
Th<i native school at Shungnak has
been' moved down the river a dist
ance V>r 10 miles, to Riley camp, for
the reason that sprlngoverflows come
to sijpli a height that the school
buildiigs are surrounded making a
move necessary.
Shnlgnak has a postoffice, and;
two stares which are conducted by j
Mr. uirryman and the Patterson ^
family.' The population of this
place is\20 white persons and many
natives, Who have herds of reindeer
numbering some 500 head. |
The FSrgnson boys have some rich
ground oh California creek, which in
early dayp produced some very rich
returns. Some ground having been
found that went 122.00 to the yard,
and with proper drilling and other
prospecting this district has a bright

In Vorvik there are 8 white people
, and 300 natives. This village i.s a
iccdel native settlement and the
whites are employed in conducting
tie Bureau of Education work and
the Radio station, which now has
become a government institution
with one man iu charge.
A native school with 170 pupils,
and three teachers, a hospital cost
ing^$60,000, a radio station, electric
liftfts, three well kept streets and a
saw mill conducted by natives are
striking features of this community.
A new school building will soon be
constructed to accomodate the in
creased school attendance.
Buildings occupied by the white
population are frame constructed
while those of the native population
consist of well built log houses and
are comfortable and clean.
Kotzebue with a population of—.
has four general stores, conducted
by Dick Hall, Sam Megids. Patter
son tc Berryman and Louis Riech.
AH of these stores carry large stocks
and as a result the natives of this
part of the North are well supplied
with necessities.
Selawik has one store owned by
the Kotzebue Trading Co., under the
mtnagement of Walter Kohen, agt.
This station is the center of the
muikrat region and judging from j
the great number of rat houses this!
season’s catch will exceed former
yeais by a great margin. Many red
foxes are being caught and a general
air ef prosperity prevails in the com
munity.
Tlruout thjs part of the country
the natives are well off, many being
better supplied than white people.
Witt plenty of game, good fur
