1SOXKK AUHIVKS FROM
MAIDEN T1UI* TO BARROW
The Bureau of Education ship
goxcr arrived in Nome roadstead
Wednesday night from her first trip
t., point Barron- with Captain Whit
lam in command. Snpt. Lopp of the
Bureau of Education was a passen
ger on the Boxer, making a tour of
inspection of the different schools
thruout northern Alaska.
The Boxer will sail from Nome
for Shishmaref where she will finish
discharging her cargo which was in
terrupted by storms on her trip
cl..wn. From Sfcishmaref the vessel
will proceed to, the Little Diomede
Island where sh will discharge
cargo and Charles Manetlelook will
go ashore and take up the duties or
teacher for the coming year. After
completing her duties at the Little
Diomedes th> Boxer will go to Bt .
Lawrence Island, and if the weather
permits will take on a cargo of R in
deer meat, and after ’ calling at
Nome will then head for Seattle.
On account >f had weather the
Boxer was unable to load any rein
deer on her trip down from Barrow,
and the possibility ..f being caught
in the ice had she remained longer
in the northern waters made it im
possible for the ship to wait longer
for the storms to subside sufficiently
to load any reindeer.
Peter Vander Steere is at Barrow
where he will teach school for the
Bureau of Education during the en
suing year.
Sup! I.opp SPPim*U
with the schooner Boxer in execut
ing the duties assigned her on this
tr>p. and also expressed himself as
being pleased with the different
places visited while in this part of
Alaska. Supt. I.opp is working to
increase the Reindeer and the herds,
and s working especially for the
management of the herds and also
to increase the sale of the surplus
reindeer meat. According to Jean
Pupertuis. who is Superintendent of
the local Bureau and who was a pas
senger on the Boxer to Shishmaref
and return. Supt. Lopp has many
plans which will undoubtedly be
complete and placed in operation
Supt. Lopp'* offlcp has been raov
. (I from Seattle to Anchora.ee and
his office in Seattle has been turned
over to Jonathan H. Wagner, who
will relieve Supt. Lopp of much
minor detail work connected with
>e office In the waj of red tape.
Wagner is taking over some of the
duties previously performed by Lopp
thus making it possible for the lat
ter to give much more of his time
to work of more importance than
the routine work <>f the office. Ac
cording .to Mr. Dupertuis. a plan
was formulated before the change of
Lopp's office tq Anchorage, whereby
all officials would he removed to
Anchorage, this did not meet with
the approval of Supt. Lopp. and he
submitted to his superiors informa
tion showing the necessity of main
taining an office in Seattle, and re
commending that if his (Lopp’a>
office was in Anchorage, t would fa
cilitate the Bureau’s work to a
treat extent in Alaska, and the re
sult was the change of lb. office as
OFFICFIIS KAIIl HOAIIP TIS.\I»K.

A. H. M<N)KK PARTY TO
RKTPRN ON IU PORI>
The A. H. Moore party will re
turn to tly- States on the steamer
Milford. Moore states that his com
pany’s dredge on Osborne Creek is
working J4 hours per day and after
a few days operation struck what
appi a red to be very good pay dirt.
The dredge will continue operation
up until the freeze up or as long as
possible before having t<» close down
in order for the crew to take pass
age on the Buford.
Moore is satisfied that the dredge I
will prove a very profitable asset
for his company. Material for the
operation of the dredge was brought
in from the outside by the srhooner
could be obtained had It had to bo
purchased in Nome, this will lower
the cost of operating the dredge and
will do away with all the extra cost
of handling charges in Nome as
members of the company attended
to the hauling of all material from
Mom- to the dredge on Osborne j
cieek. Moore states that the dif-j
Terence in the cost in his method j
of operating the dredge and that of
former owners will amount to |
enough to more than pay those in- i
t. rested in the company.
The company which Moore repre- l
sents will purchase another boat up- j
on their arrival in the States, and i
contracts enough to keep them busy
have* already been secured for the I
coming winter outside. It was the j
intention of the company to use the |
Wood had it n«>t been wrecked for j
freighting purposes this winter
along the California and Mexican
coast. Th* ship that will be pur-1
chased by the company this winter
will be used for th'* purpose former- i
ly intended for the schooner Wood, j
The Moore party have established |
themselves n Nome as real Atneri- I
cans of the highest type, and it is
with real regret that Nome resi-j
dents see tlie Moore party depart |
for the States. While in the States j
this winter, the company which A. !
If. Moore is president of. will have i
their main office in San Diego, Calif. .

Ll'TIIKR CLOSKS DOWN
ORKRATIONS FOIS SKAKON
According to the Pioneer Seoul j
which is published ;it Teller. Milton j
Luther has closed down his mining
operations for the summer on Windy
Creek. Luther and A T. McLain
and wife arrived in Teller on the
2nd "f this month where they will
spend the winter.
The Scout states that Luther and
party had a very hard trip down
the Agiapuk River from their min
ing camp. The boat on which the
party made the trip had to be poted
down the river with the water at
a temperature below freezing. The
party arriv es at Salt Lake found
that they were blocked as the entire
sheet of water was frozen over
strong enough to withstand the
weight of several Seal which were
playing on the ice near the boat.
After a short time a wind sprang up
which broke open the ice on the
lake and the boat and party were
able to proceed to Teller. Luther
has taken up his abode in the Ken
nedy building and McLain and wife
will occupy the “Red House.” Tel
ler welcomes the new residents and
hope they will enjoy their stay in
