ALASKA INDIANS,
They are Said to be on the Point of
Starvation.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 11th.-Captain NJ.
a Healy, OF the revenue cutter Bear, in con-
neetion with DR. Sheldon jackson, United States
Commissioner of Education for Alaska, who
has been in Alaska recently on the Bear, in
tends at a n early date TO forward a communica-
ton TO the Washington authorities in regard ,
the condition OF the Esquimaux in Northwest
ern Alaska.
It will be pointed out that the Esauimaux
there are suffering great hardships, and in some
cases bordering on starvation, owing to the
scarcity OF deer, and particularly on account of
the entire failure of the hunt during the past
autumn.
Captain Healy's ideas are 10 propose to the
Government that he purchase a NUMBER of rein
deer OF both sexes, which abound on the ST.
per1an coast, and transport them on the Bear
% some point on the Alaskan coast, where moss
and feed are plentiful
DE viii also suggest that the Government en-
list the services of some experienced Siberian
natives to instruct the Esquimaux in the art of
herding these deer, and as the animals become
more numerous they can be distributed over
northwestern Alaska and form food supply
toi the natives.
