Regardless of the fact that Xmas |
is approaching and November 1923 j
i • in the discard, the many auto* 1
mobiles, wagons, tractors and other j
wheeled vehicles, continue to ply in '

manner that took place during the
balmy summer days. Open navi- :
nation still exists, any boat of any j
size could with all ease navigate the
Bering Sea at present. Shore ice .
has recently appeared in small i
quantities and a thin scum of ice ,
is in evidence on the surface of the •
water but not to such an ••xtent but ■
ditions of the country, but to many !
of those on the outside who continue i
to believe that Alaska is a frozen j
glacier, and all except a small per- 1
tiou .*f the teritory is inhab'.tated
only by prehistoric animals, this ;
revealation will come as a surprise.
The Hanunon Consolidated Gold
Fields are continuing the operation
of their two mighty dredges on I 5’ j
tie Creek and the country aroui-ri j
Nome has no more the appearance j
of a frozen ice berg than the fashion I
able district of Long Island it this J
time of year.
The liOmen Brothers, expert photo-I
graphers, have recently taken some I
very fine and interesting views of •
the two dredges operating on I
