The Nome mining section and Seward Peninsula in general should see a revival of the oldtime pros- pe g again this winter, accord- ing to the Nome Nugget. The be- lief is founded on the fact that a large number of sourdoughs and cheechacos are slaying in the re- gon is winter to go into the hills and to the cresks.

One of the buffaloes in the herd on Jarvis Creek in the Interior of Alaska was wounded in the hind quarters by hunters last fall, accor- ding to information received in Fairbanks. The wound bleeds free- 1y whenever the animal beds down. Two other badly crippled buffalces, probably victims of hunters, are straggling behind the herd. The buffalo were introduced into the country by the federal government in 1928. Residents of McCarthy have forwarded to the Alaska Game Commission a petition asking that the area in whi¢h the buffaloes range be closed to hunters, Deposits in the First National Bank at Fairbanks at the close of business 'Dcember 31 totaled $1,- 314,677.92. Opposition to the consolidation of the Second and Fourth Judicial Divisions as provided in a bill pending in Congress, is opposed by the Northwestern Alaska Cham- ber of Commerce of Nome.

It has been suggested that an area on the Kenai peninsula be set |aside as a reserve whereon the |students of the various govern- ment and private Indian schools may be established in farming and other industrial pursuits, Among othcr questions are those of establishing a cannery and saw mill for the exclusive use of the Indians who wish to relinquish their primitive mode of living and fare forth in the industrial world. “Final disposition of the children who enter the Jessc Les Home is a problem that needs solution,” Mr. Hatton is quoted 4as saying by the Seward Gateway. “They come from all parts of the Territory, in- cluding the Alaska Peninsula, many |being orphans. The best we can do is to teach them and care for them until they are large enough to shift for themselves. “We then endeavor to ork for them, but are confronted h a number of difficulties. not | w w supervision until they are of age. |Hence many are turned loose to | become the victims of shifting for- tune, especially the girls. “The matver 15 now before the Indian Bureau and I have been in- formed that steps arc under way o find a solution as above out- lined.
