FROM NORTH
Completing a voyage of one
month’s duration which carried the
vessel to Demarkntion Day. where
the Alaska-Canadian boundary ends,
the Coast Guard Cutter Bear. Capt

in Nome from the Arctic Sunday,
{bringing a number of passengers
from various northern ports includ
ing hr. James II. Condit. the well
known mission worker, and J. H.

engineer of the I’nlted States Coast
and Geodetic Survey, who has been
engaged in making a magnetic survey
of the coast line of Northwestern
Alaska from St Michael to Point
Barrow and Demarcation Point. 400
miles to the east of Barrow. The
voyage to Demarcation Bay was made
solely to permit Mr. Watkins to
make the magnetic observations in
dicated and the Bear was the first
government vessel that has been to
Demarcation Bay since 1888. at
which time it was visited by the
United States Revenue Cutter Thetis.
The Bear left here July 28. with
Mr. Watkins and a number of other
passengers, including Dr. Condit. a
corps of hospital attendants for the
new Pt. Barrow hospital and a num
ber of government teachers and mis
sion workers. Point Barrow was
reached Aug. «. After a short stay
at the latter place, the Bear proceed
ed to Demarcation Bay, arriving Aug
ust IS. Magnetic observations were
made then by Mr. Watkins, the
Bear meanwhile making observations
of ice and meteorological conditions
in the Arctic. The cutter returned
to Barrow August 20 and returned
here August 28. exactly one mon’h

to be an unusually open one and
among the natives of the Arctic slope.

N.%MI’liK OF LOCAL OIL
SKKPAGK OX DISPLAY
A sample of the local oil seepage
found along the beach in the vicinity
of Hastings Creek has been obtained
by Carl Nelson and is on display at
the Nugget office. The oil. mixed
with sea foam into a paste like mass
of considerable density, is washed
up on the beach between Derby and
(iolden Gate creeks during heavy
storms but is not apparent during
calm weather, owing probably to the
‘.crack or rift from which the oil
exudes being some distance from
shore. During southerly storms the
oily material is whipped into a heavy
foam by the waves and washed up on
the beach, frequently to a depth of
two feet. It is understood that the
Adams party, which recently return
ed from Point Barrow oil section, will
probably take samples of the Hast
ings Creek deposit to the outside for
analysis.

STOVE PIPE
INSPEC TION NEEDED
With the closing down of the
steam heating plant at the close of
the present month owing to the ln
j ability to secure fuel.oil. a large part
of Nome's populace will be compell
ed to resort to the stove for warmth
i during the winter period The com
pany has announced its intention to
| close the heating plant on Sept. 30.
The oil shortage will also have a
I highly detrimental effect on winter
mining and will doubtless curtail
the winter gold output considerably,
the use of coal for thawing being in
many instances out of the question
owing to its present high cost.
In this connection it may be well
j to call the attention of th<* city coun
cil to the necessity for a thorough
j inspection of stove pipes, flues and
j oil and gasoline heating equipment
* some time this fall to safe guard
against a possibly disastrous fire.
With more stoves in use than was
formerly the case, as a result of the
closing of the steam heating plant,
the danger of fire will be greatly in
creased and no precaution to pio
vent a conflagration should be over
looked .
The following regulations pertain
ing to Night Letters and Night Mes
sages over the Signal Corps lines hre
