KOYUKUK HD1
’ DESCRIBED BY
That part of central Alaska lying
between the lower Ko.vukuk river and
the Yukon was until recently but lit
tle known. In 1!)13 it was explored by
H. M. Eakin, and his results are pre
sented in a report entitled “'the lu
J«>n-Koyukuk Region,” recently issued
’kiT the gological survey as Bulletin
631. The region is essentially a roll
ing upland above which rise some
higher mountain masses reaching al
titudes of 5,000 to 0,000 feet. This up- i
landis broken by broad valleys and
lowlands. The mountain slopes are
clothed with spruce tres up to the .
altitudes of 2,000 feet. Spruce and
birch also cover the lowlands. Above 1
timber line the vegetation is chiefly j
moss. The timber areas, notably in
the lowlands, are broken by meadows
covered with a luxuriant growth of j
grass. Moose, caribou and bear still
roam over much of this region, whtcn
is seldom visited by white men. No
important mineral resources have
fc^en found in the Yukon-Koyukuk re
gion, but many of the stream, gravels
carry some line colors of gold. This
gold seems to have been derived from
the contact /.ones of granitic intrusive
rocks, which are abundant in the re
gion. That some of these deposits
are of commercial importance is
shown by the fact that the placers of
the Indian river district, which lie in
the Yukon-Koyukuk region, have for
several years been mined on a small
scale . It is not improbable that other
commercial placers may be found in !
the region, but the prospecting tus
far done does not indicate the pres
ence of any very rich deposits.
CREOSOTE!) WATER MAINS
PITTED AGAINST STEEL
SEATTLE, Nov. 22.—The industrial
research bureau of the University of
Washington, under the direction of
Prof. Henry K. Benson, is trying to
j determine whether wooden creosoted
I water mains are not cheaper in the
long run than steel mains. The in
vestigation so far has established that
’ the wooden pipes are one-third as
j costly as steel and last at least one- ,
I half as long. Whether the creosoted
mains will contaminate the water and
make it unfit for use ip yet to be de
termined.
ESKIMO ANTIQUES ARRIVE
ON CAMPUS FROM ARCTIC
SEATTLE, Nov. 22.—A household !
utensil made from the horns of a
■ musk ox, and a sinew back bow and
j arrows tipped with native copper, are
I part of a collection of the implements
and clothing of the blond Eskimo just
; received by the university museum
from a member of the recent Stefans
son expedition to the Arctic. .
The collection is of special value be- ;
cause of the inaccessibility of the
Coronation gulf legion, the home of
the blond Eskimo, according to Cura
tor Frank S. Hall, of the museum. The
only other collection like it is at the
University of Pennsylvania.
They do say that the finest line of
bath robes and smoking jackets are

I
ESKIMO HELPING
ALSAKN
A farthest north magazine publish
ed near the Arctic circle has made its
appearance under the title “The Eski
mo," and is devoted to the interests
of Eskimos of the northwestern dis
trict of Alaska. It is published at
Nome by teachers and others of the
United States bureau of education
who have been formally congratulated i
by P. P. Claxton, United States com- I
mission of education, for their enter- I
prise.
In the leading article of its first is
sue, written by Superintendent Walter j
C. Shields, of the education bureau, it j
says
“The Eskimo is not dependent. On >
the contrary he is, even in his present
condition, a real and vital factor in i
the wealth of the country. He has;
never received a ration from the gov- [
ernment; he can support himself, not
always according to our standards it
is true, but it is better for him to eat ]
strictly native food than for him to 1
learn to expect the government to sup- j
port him.
“The wail so often heard from ig
norant but presumably charitable peo
ple ‘:Why don't you give the poor peo- '
pie some food?’ if heeded would make
padpers out of a self-supporting and
noble race. We are proud of the fact
that we have not fed the Eskimo. We
are proud of him as a man because he
feeds himself.
'One reason why primitive races
have so often been pushed to the 1
wall by the white race has been that
the white race has coveted and needed
the land. As far as we can see, for
years to come the white man will
not make any attempt to push the Es
kimo off his part of the map. While !
there will undoubtedly be develop- !
ments in mining, yet for a long time
to come the Eskimo will have plenty
of room in northern Alaska. There
fore, even if some unexpected devel- !
opment should become desirable for
a large white population, we believe
that with what development the Eski
mo has already received, ami the ad
ditional development that even five
years more of undisturbed possession
of his northern fastnesses will give :
him, he will be well fitted to meet ad
vanced economic conditions. 1
“We of the Alaska school service
are helping to bear the white man’s .
burden, we do not claim to be min
istering to a dying race; we want no
praise as helpers of the weak or ad
ministers to the downtrodden who are
dying in filth and degradation. We do
not allow any one to class us in these
categories. This class of work is
entirely humanitarian and is properly
the duty of missionary organizations.
But as representatives of the govern
ment we claim the right of our ser
vice to exist because we are develop
ing the resources of northern Alaska
ju-i as much as any man with a pick
and pan. We are adding to the wealth j
of the nation just as much and as ;
surely as any prospector or trail-muk
er. We are making a country pro- >
iluctive just as much as any reclama- ;
tion project that was ever managed
by the government.”
Til BURNED
(Valdez Prospector.)
Advices received here today state
that the roadhouse at Birch lake,
twelve miles this side of Richardson,
was wholly destroyed by tire on Wed
nesday. This stopping place on the
government road, which was owned
by Harry Simmons and James Chis
holm, is said to have been one of the
most beautifully located and pictur
esque by travelers. The site is an
extremely fertile one, and the pro
prietors always had one of the finest j
gardens in the country. The owners
lost everything in the flames, and
made their way to Richardson, ar
riving yesterday- The fire originated
from an overheated kitchen stove.

to view the new wall decorations on (
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common j
and so unusually artistically attrae- i
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new 1
papers. Tp decide without doing so i
is apt to result in regret later. |
