On n mining property on Wood
rhopper creek, Sullivan district. In
terior Alaska, owned by Mike and
ii iin Miljvich, 'Ote Miljvich has de

,s is t,f the pan, with an occasional
s i mid $(> pm.s. As soon as the dis
■n cry ' sis made- known in the camp
Vifdrow Bock, the biggest operator in
that part of the country, after an in
;• iui.m, otfered a substantial cash
sisii , cation for the proper ty, which
• refused. Mik< Miljvich, who is
loii.p the exploration, has bedrocked
three holes and has found good pay
in all of them. He is confident he has
mcovered real bonanza diggings.
Furs shipped from Alaska during
U'1‘7. exclusive of seal skins and fox
pe.Ls from the governmental opera
tions i>n the Pribilof islands, were
valued at S3,6*»7.940.68, according to
figures made public by the Alaska
(lame Commission. In addition, fox
fj- iis were shipped from the Pribilof
islands valued at $41,766.82, making
the total fir the year $3,699,707.50.
The total value of the commercial
shipments was $1,308,300.48 larger
than in 192.6. while the number of
oeltts fell from 296,136 to 290,960.
Higher prices prevailed on most of
the pelts, which accounted for the
larger returns from the catch.
Alaska has the richest oil fields in
the world, richest in both quantity
md quality, declared Dr. W. II.
Greist, at a meeting of the Cordova
Chamber of Commerce, recently, lie
was for several years a surgeon in
charge of the hospital at Point Bar
row, the farthest north institution of
its kind in the world. The oil field,
he said, lies within 850 miles of the
North Pole. Reserved by the Federal
Government for the United States
Navy, no man can touch it. Were
his not true, natural obstacles to de
velopment probably would prevent ex
ploration, at least in the near future.
The extent of the rent oil field, Dr.
Greist continued, .is.nqt yet deter

mined. F< •■> .years the region in
which ii is !-h J wa Fa veritable
"No Man's J . .d," extending from the
shores of the Arctic Ocean to the En
dicott Mountains. For several years
i the Federal Government has had sur
veyors in the held, but the facts gath
! cred by the survey party are unknown
: outside of official circles. Vast fields
>f oil lie within the region. Solid,
black as night, even in Arctic sum
. !, one may walk across the surface
i f these lakes, he said. It is used for
fuel, cakes of the black substance
being taken out. and sot on fire. The
•■treat problem is the method of de
e opn.e t. iiini as it is reserved for
he navy the responsibility rests with
the Government. Disease and the
and of death has been lightened in
great measure in the. Point Barrow
j section of the Territory by the hus
| pital there, Dr. Greist said. In four
years after its establishment and be
ginning of its operations, the death
j rate was cut by 80 per cent.
Comfort Joe, a native trapper work
: ing out of Chitina, caught a wolverine
m one of iiis traps recently and had
visions of a good bounty, but having
no cage to keep the critter in, it was
something of a problem to bring in
the animal in good condition. Finally
Joe solved the problem. Knocking the
fire out of his Yukon stove, he cooled
■ t off and shoved the wolverine, into
the oven, locked the door and laslied
the stove to his sled and prourily
mushed to Chitina with it. There he
found a suitable cage and sent the
animal to Dr. Chase, of Cordova, who
shipped it to the Smithsonian Institu
tion at Washington, D. C.
MASQUERADE WAS MOST
SUCCESSFUL EVENT
The n-.asp grade ball at the Larson
Roadhouse last Saturday night was a
most successful event jn every way,
those participating in it enjoying
tehmselves to the utmost. The floor
was crowded with the merry maskers
and there were many surprises for the .
crowd at the midnight hour, when
masks were lifted.
i Frizes were awarded to Mrs. Clara
i Taulman, Miss Dora Konig, Chris
i Nelson and Johnny Adams.
Chris Nelson, as a Chinee washee- i
man, carried out the character well
and was the cause of much amuse
ment.
A character which drew much at- -
ti n and caused much favorable com
ment was that of The Kusku- Times
newsboy, impersonated by Frank Lar~
, son, who carried out the part to per
fection.
The music was furnished by Mr.
and Mrs. K. E. Lowrie and, as usual,
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
