Newton Gulch, died in San Francis
co. on the 28th of December, accord
ing to a telegram received by Jas. M.
Streeten. today.

country Mr. Cook made his first trip
to the Outside in the hope that his
failing health would be improved by
the changed conditions.
SHELTER CABIN NEEDED
ON SWANSON CREEK
The need for a shelter cabin on
Swanson creek. Teller, was again
made evident recently, when a na
tive lost his way in the hills on the
way from American River to Teller
and was forced to spend one night
and a day in Charles Rice's dredge
on Swanson creek.
It will be recalled that the death
of Tom Ward last winter was largely
due to the fact that there was no
adequate shelter at hand in this sec
tion, when he attempted to make
Teller through the darkness and
storm and the tragic result of his
effort is well known.
It would seem that before any
great amount of travel or work is
to be done in the American River
section, no time should be lost in
constructing a suitable shelter cabin
somewhere on the trail along Swan
son creek. It would be a boon and
a positive life saving station to the
increasing number of travelers in
that section, according to those who
know the conditions.

GOOD CROWD
The prizeprogram dance given by
the Wat hey Orchestra nt small Eagle
Hall Saturday evening attracted a
good sized gathering of dance lovers
and proved to be a decidedly pleas
ing entertainment.
j The prizes offered were awarded to
Th. Lehmann Jr., and Mrs.’ Louise
Schrader. Luncheon was served at
midnight and the crowd lingered to
j three a. m. Sunday morning before
i getting their fill of the pleasures of
j fered. The dance was given for the
I purpose of securing a new supply of
I music and other much needed ac
| cessories for the use of the orchestra
in the future and realized u neat
| sum which will be devoted to such
object. Another dance will be given
i by the organization in the future as
the net proceeds of Saturday's enter
tainment were not quite sufficient to
| secure all the things to make the or
chestra strictly up to date. Mana
ger Wathey wishes to thank those
who by their generous attendance
contributed to the success of the init
ial entertainment. and hopes for
their patronage at the next funtion.e

BRINGS NEWS OF
CAPE AFTIVIl’IES
Thomas P. Killen. erstwhile fed
ieral special agent for the suppres
str.ii of illicit liquor traffic among
the natives and now superintendent
in charge of the Bureau of Educa
tion activities at (’ape Prince of
Wales, arrived in Nome last Satur
day evening on a short visit.
Mr. Killeen reported that affairs at
the Cape are in good posture. There
is a total population of 130 there
this winter and 49 native children
are enrolled at the Bureau of Edu
cation school. The supply of seal
has been a little short since the
freezeup. he said, but walrus have
been plentiful and the natives have j
suffered no lack of meat. While en
route to Nome he heard that after
his departure a polar bear and also
a bear cub had been shot by the vil
lagers. Furs had been plentiful up
to the time of leaving.
Weather conditions in the Cape
section have been most severe, with
many storms and much cold. A
good sized herd of reindeer from the
Cape herds has been driven down
here and will be slaughtered and
sold in the local market at reason
able prices. just as soon as the
weather gets a little colder.
Mr. Killeen said, adding that the
native herders have tried unsuccess
fululy to bring deer here for several
years, but are now in a position to
supply at least a large part of the
local demands. The animals are in
tine condition, he said, and will be
sold on orders, which will be receiv
ed at the Bureau of Education head
quarters here.
Mr. Killeen also stated that Mrs.
Killeen is well and greatly enjoys
her new work at the Cape.
RAVENKILDE WHITES
OP PIONEER HOME
Martin Ravenkilde. well known
former resident of this section, who
was stricken with paralysis last
summer and is now an inmate of the
Pioneer Home at Sitka, writes to
the Nugget th$t the “Home is all
right.” “The same as a first class
hotel.” he says, ‘and was surprised,
and agreeably so, to find it as it is.”
Mr. Rovenkilde says he is still using
a cane but is able to get around
fairly well. Following his arrival
at Sitka. August 27th last, he was
examined by Dr. J. M. Sloan and
pronounced a victim of arterio scler
osis, or hardening of the arteries.
Ravenkilde says, “He told me that
according to all the rules I sh .»Ul
be in the Great Unknown, but it
seems I have enough of the “pirate
blood” (a reference to his Scandina
vian origin) to be in existence still .
