SEA WOLF RETURNS
FROM ST. MICHAEL
The mail boat Sea Wolf returned
to Nome Sunday from St. Michael
where she had been held waiting for
the river boats to arrive with the
mall. Storms also prevented her
earlier arrival at Nome.
Aboard the boat were three pas
sengers:' L. S. Kerr. Andy Olsen
and Frank Carpenter.
On Monday the Sea Wolf pulled
anchor for Teller, having decided
that that port was the farthest
north she would venture on this
her last trip.

tak. arrived from Teller Monday

left for Golovin with about 200
carcasses of reindeer from the Lo
men herd at Teller. The deer will
be taken to the cold storage plant
at Golovin and then transhipped on
the Victoria to the States. Alfred
Lomen was a passenger on the
beet, in charge of the meat. Al.
returned on the boat from Teller
where he -supervised the killing of
the animals. •
MANY PROSPECTIVE
PURCHASERS OF UOAI,
WERE DISAPPOINTED
A number of Nomeites intended
to take advantage of the large con
signment of screened coal consign
ed to the Yuba Mfg. Co., but were
doomed, to disappoint me-nt.
Mr. Morse of the Yuba Company
thought that he would have about
200 tons more coal than his com
pany could use, but learned that
the Hamimond Co. were in need of
more than their share of the con
signment and consequently turned
over his surplus to the latter com*
The coal is an extra superior
grade of coal, screened and sacked,
and it is with regret that the pub
lic is unable to obtain its equal.
Having proof that good coal is
procurable this community will take
steps next year to see that a large
supply is placed at the disposal of
the public.
SUCTION DREDGE RESUMES
OPERATION IN JETTIES
The suction dredge in Snake
river Harbor was taken from her
moorings Monday morning and be
gan work at the harbor mouth, but
was forced to suspend operations
on account of the rough weather.
As the rough weather subsided
she was again put into operation
and has done good work for sev
eral (lays. On Thursday a school
of tom cod came into the river and
the dredge accomodated owners of
dog teams by sucking up a large
number of the fish and deposited
them behind the revetment. Both
dog men and sea gulls profitted by
the new method of catching fish.
Since the installation of new
pumps the dredge is making rapid
advance thru the gravel bars across
the river. Mr. Keenan states that
with a few days good weather the
entire dredging contract will be
completed.
I.ETT1E TO WINTER AT TELLER
The trading schooner, captain
Crawford in charge, loft Nome dur
ing the summer bound for Banks
Land, but upon arriving in the far
northern waters encountered so
much ice that the contemplated trip
had to be abandoned. Capt. Craw
ford. realizing that his objective
could not be attained, sailed for the
Siberian coast thinking possibly
suitable winter quarters could be ob
tained. Here again ice conditions
were unfavorable and he left East
Cape. Siberia, for Teller where he
decided to let his boat freeze In, in
Gpntley .Harbor. Ca|>t. Crawford
and his wife will remain in Teller
for the winter.
When the Lettie left Nome it was
intended to spend several years in
the Arctic pursuing the business of
trading. Passing thru Bering Straits
storms swept away a large portion
of the cargo.
