FIND RELICS OF OLD ALASKA. ;
RACE. IN G CLEAN A DISTRICT I
Abundant evidences of' ur. race that
existed in a period of ^mtiQuitV were.
discovered last summer in the region
between Gulkara and, tire,. interna
tional boundary*-.tnrengh- ..which a
road, is mow being built, according to
Dohald MacDonald,'locating engineer
of ithe Alaska Road Commission,, says ,
the Fairbanks Ne-vs-^liner,
“There is no doubt that a prehis-1
toric population existed there,” said
Mr MacDonald, .who. recently re
turned to, his home at Fairbanks..;
“Balzulnet was the central point and
within IQ miles of it there are. the
ruins,of-.f\ve villages, one at Nahesna
now. being,.occupied, .by natives”
Mr.. MaqPpnald...-;beieves the area
offers w fertile field, for scientific re
search;., He. uoets.jnoL pretend to say,
how old the civilizi^jpn was, hut be
lieves it mustt hayt existed thou
sands of years .agp. In constructing
the road this summer A R. C. crews
passed over the -sunken houses in
which timbers holding up the walls
we*Kr jptaet
There is a wealth of legendary ma
terial awaiting collection there, said
Mr. MacDonald. One interesting le
gend concerns the-: formation of Mt.
Sanford,, the native name for. which
means “mountaimoi tailed men-”
Indian folklore has if that their an
cestor seame to the region to find it
inhabited by a race of men with tails.
The chief of the invading trite- kiljed
the chief of the “tailed men.,” but
when walking along the trail next
day found, much to his surprise, the
man he thought was dead standing
laughing at him. He promptly killed

i
his Coe again, but with the same dis
couraging result.
The third time he “killed” his op
ponent, the invading chief saw the
tail jump some 200 feet to one side,
He made after it and cut it up and
buried it. After doing so he heard a
voice fro mthe ground saying, “Now
you have me.”
Worried lest their foe again come
to life the invading tribe began to
pile, debris qn the top of the place
where the. tail was buried. So mighty
were their efforts and so long did
they persist that Mt. Sanford now
rises as a monument to their efforts,
legend has it.
“That section is the most interest
ing I have been in in Alaska,” said
Mr. MacDonald. “The road goes over
a glacial plane and the area is com
pletely surrounded, by very - high
mountains, ranging frq>m 12.Q0Q to
16,500 feet
“Add to the scenery the . fact that
it is a fine, fish and game country and
that it is rich in legend., and has a
fine climate with a light snowfall
and you have a region that should
prove very attractive to tourists.”
Mr. MacDonald located the road to
a point about 10 miles from the Na
besna, river and about 110 miles from
Gulkana. Despite the fact that. the
season was difficult from a road-build
ing standpoint, because of the heavy
rainfall, considerable .work was ac
complished. The. entire road from
Gulkana to Tonsana, a distance of
about 18 miles, was rehabilitated.
Construction of a bridge across the
Chistochina, a glacial stream, was
completed. It was a difficult job of
bridge building
The wagon road* which ultimately
will be converted into an automobile
highway, was extended; 14 miles be
yond Chistochina;
HERE’S A RECIPE FOR
CORNING CARIBOU MEAT
Here’s a recipe for corning rein
deer or caribou meat, according to
Ernest Walker Sawyer, special as
sistant to the general manager of
the Alaska Railroad, who says:
“Mr. Neeley, of the White Moun
tain industrial school, buys 50 deer
each year and corns most of it. He
says all who visit him say this is the
best corn beef they have ever eaten.
It goes fine with cabbage The recipe
ioiiows:
Use only gogfd, clean, fresh meat.
After removing bone, cut in pieces of
two or three pounds. Salt in wood
barrels. Use ID- pounds of salt for
each 100 pounds of meat First
sprinkle salt in the Botom of the
barrel and cover with a layer of
meat. Cover this with a layer of
salt and continue with an alternate
layer of meat, and salt until com
pletely packed. Eetain enough salt,
to cover top. The meat should re
main in thjs for 24 to 48 hours be
fore the brine is poured over it.
Brine—Use 4 pounds of sugar, 2'
ounces baking soda, 4 ounces salt
petre. Dissolve ingredients in 4 gal
lons boiling water, This should, be
sufficient to cover 100 pounds 100>
meat. All of the meat should be cov
ered.
Weight sufficient to- keep the
meat submerged should .he placed on
top. Keep meat in a cool,, dark place.
It is ready for use in ahoUh ten days,,
but is better after 30 days.
If brine shows signs of fermenta
tion it shoul dbe poured off, boiled
and strained through a clean cloth.
After thoroughly cooled it shopld be
poured back on the meat which has
been washed in.elean cold Water
DEER TO BE A FACTOR
IN DEVELOYING ALASKA
J UNEA.U-.-The reindeer -industry
in Western-and Northwestern Alaska
can and wilV be. lifted to a prosperous
condition, declared Ernest Walker
Sawyer representative of the In
terior Department, Who has just re
turned fro man investigation of Sew
ard Peninsula herds.
He sad range boundaries must be
first definitely fixed and, secondly,
I grazing leases must be issued to. hei'd
! owners.
Sawyer declined to make any
| statement of the phases of his inves
tigation touching the charges filed
against the Lomem Brothers Rein
deer Corporation. He said he held a

THROUGH INVISIBLE HEAT
SCHENECTADX.r-Tbe day when
the housewife can turn in her radio
cookstove to bake the next meal is
foreshadowed by a little glass dish

ble sort in the same room, this dish
has cooked the following: One sau
sage. One fried egg. One baked
apple.. A batch of . cookies. , And
water was boiled in the dish.
It was all done with the new .short
wave vacuum tube, which jsends - out
a radio wave about 20. feet long and
having a frequency of, 50 million cy
cles a second- The fish is suspended
so that it contents pick up this in
