FItOM ( OI Nril;
Fifteen persons, comprising a ma
jority of the dredge miners of the
Council section together with a
sprinkling of others not engaged in
mining activities, arrived from Coun
cil City Tuesday on the mail stage
and Wild Goose Mining Company
team. The list included. l)r. Ram
say. Council's genial medico, Arthur
Garrod, Harry Dongley, Deputy Mar
shal Eric Johnson, Cliff Allen. Frank
Warning,, G. Hoffman, H Dowdell, J.
IJaker, C. Eagle. A. Mroos, Dandy

Deputy Johnson. Dee and two others
made the trip on the mall stage, the
rest on the Wild Goose rig. Both
teams were two days in making the
trip. Deep snow was encountered
all the way fiom Council to Solomon
River, the “beautiful” at some points
being from 3 to 1 feet in depth and
To accomodate the increased pas-'
r,eager list mail contractor Rowe sen*
an additional d.iver and foiii horses
The arrivals report that all mining
suspended in the Council district a
day or two before their departure.
The last of the miners, including
manager Fred Ayer of the Wild Goose
Company were expected to leave for
Nome Friday.
On arriving at East Fork, the party
I discovered that the old cabin used as
a shelter cabin for travelers at that
point was practically without facil
ities for heating and with most com
mendable generosity decided to in
stall a new stove at their joint ex
pense for the use of travelers. A
subscription was started and about
«*52n was raised in a few minutes to
purchase and install a stove and other
needed equipment.
The action was in no way intended
as a reflection on the work of the
Road Commission, whose duty it i«
to supply such equipment for the
shelter cabins, but was simply an ex
pression of humanitarian impulse.
The Road Commission, it is under
stood, was aware of the absence of
adequate heating equipment at the
cabin but was unable to supply the
deficiency owing to shortage of funds.
The arrivals also state that the
population of Council will be about
the same this winter as last, prob
ably around 100 people.
KOl'tMKOK KKCOKUR
NOW COMPLETE
J. r. Mathews, the old Kougarok
miner and manager of the Bering
Dredging Corporation, arrived in
Nome this week. Mr. Mathews
has the distinction and credit of be
ing the father ot' the consolidation
of the Kougarok Recording Precinct
with that of the Cape Nome Record
ing Precinct. Due to his untiring ef
ed about 2 years ago. Cnfortunate
ly the government officials of Nome
were dilatory in making a complete
transfer of the records and not until
this week were the last of the books
and other records received by Re
corder Thornton, largely as a result
of Mr Mathews efforts this summer.
Mr. Mathews personally superin
tended the packing and hauling of
the hooks to Shelton, from which
place they were brought to Nome by
dog-mobile in charge of August Viera.
This happy ending of a disagreeable
controversy makes it possible for
abstractors to complete their work
with accuracy. With Nome as the
place of record, attorneys and others
interested, find it a great convenience
in clearing up titles.
Mr. Worster, former Recorder of
the Kougarok Precinct, left for the
outside two years ago after locking
the criminal and other records in the
safe of the Freeding store. As the
records could not be secured, save
[by force, the safe was recently drill
ed under court order and the records
obtained, pursuant, to a peremptory
order from the Department of Jus
tice. The records w?re thus obtained
and now rest in their proper place.
