winter with his family. Mr.. Kjellman takes a more
hopeful view OF the reindeer experiment than do a
great many others. He says the reindeer will even
tuay be useful as a food supply and in furnishing
a means OF transportation.
Mr. Kjellnan took the first deer into Alaska In
the summer OF 1894, when he transported 400 across
from Siberia. He had been IN the business OF REIN
deer raising in Lapand before coming to this coun-
try which led TO his selection as reindeer super1n
tendent In Alaska. Since then he has brought TWO
herds OF these animals from Lapland
There are now $500 reindeer at the seven Alaska
stations The rate of Increase in the herd Is ABOUT

III was this report probably. that led Maurice

shortly after his installation that 1t was pos
sible that all these little lakes Of Staten Island
would be drained off and the land reclaimed.
Silver Lake stands the ridge in old Castle

1t is the old Frelinghuysen property.
Here, the tradition is. a favOrite haunt
OF the Aquehonga Indians, brothers Of the Della
wares, across in New-Jersey. Ira X Morris the
staten Island historian. who is an official OF
the borough government. has much that is in
teresting TO say about these Indians of the
Staten Island hills. That the Aquehongas were
much in evidence about Silver Lake is told in
the many relics the spear heads and the arrows
that have been picked up its shores. There
is an even more important Indian circumstance
to be brought forward. Proof is not lacking
from the remains that have been found and
from tradition that close to Silver Lake the
Aquehongas manufactured a goodly quantity of
wampum. using the oyster shells from the bays
shores below. The region of Silver Lake was
indeed the Indian mint" This was brought
out in Investigations made by the American
Natural Science Association Of Staten Island.
