Alaska Notes
Gleanings From Territorial
Exchanges.
Bishop Peter T. Rowe, me first mis
sionary bishop of the Episcopal church
ia Alaska, arrived in Anchorage on
this afternoon’s train from Fairbanks.
When asked regarding his trip to the
Arctic the “musher bishop” replied:
“It is Indescribable. The trip to the
Arctic was- the - worst I ever experi
enced.”
At Tigara. Icy Cape, which is about
100 miles from Point Barrow, the
bishop was picked up by the United
States bureau of education schooner
schooner Boxer, which had the crew of
the Lady Kindersley and the Arctic,
both vessels lest in the ice pack of the
Arctic, aboard.
According to Bishop Rowe, there
was more ice and tbe packs were big
ger than he ever remembered them be
fore. He said at one time it looked as
though he would have to remain there
and come in to Nome over the winter
trail.
While at Kotzebue he met people
who had returned from Shungoak, sit
uated on one of the tributaries of the
Kobuk, where much gold has just been
discovered. The gold shown was
coarse, one of the nuggets haviDg a
market value of *148.75. This discov
ery is very encouraging, and the people
feel assured that a good camp will be
the outcome. Fine gold is expected to
be discovered when real work is com
menced-there. Navigation by small
steamers is possible for a distance of
350 miles up the Kobuk. There is a
very good coal mine 250 miles up the
Kobuk, and also plenty of timber. Nav
igatton is good to and from Kotzebue.

The width of the pay. fori a distance oi about

work indicates that the ground will go from 15
cents to $1 per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average 50 cents per foot

together with water rights. The ground is prettv
well cleared. There is also a drain, tbree miles
long, with the water right. 1 also have a water

resulted in finding values that run up to *1 per
