NOME, Alaska, Jan. Amy
woman who counts her dollars by
tens of thousands is interesting
anywhere.
An Eskimo woman, who cannot
write her name, who knows only
the civilization of the Arctic circle
and who hires a college graduate
to count her dollars by hundreds
of thousands-well, there is prob
ably only one such woman in the
world.
She is Mrs. Mary Coonie, and
she is the richest Eskimo In the
world.
Besides interests in number
of rich mining claims, for the dis
covery of which she time and
again "grub-staked" white pros
pectors, she has valuable freight
carrying business and the largest
privately owned reindeer herd IN
the world. Sixteen hundred OF
these indispensable Arctic animals
bear her brand, and as they are
worth from SOS to 500 each In
Yukon Territory, Mrs. Coonie's
livestock is worth a large fortune
alone.
One of this woman freighter's
unique pack trains on the trail is
shown In the accompanying pho
tograph, also a good picture OF
herself and her second husband.
Mr.. Coonie is somewhat an Arctic
dandy, his coat, leggins and parks
being worth about 1.400. as they
are of the finest sealskin- Mrs,
Coonie's outfit could probably be
duplicated for $40. Even the heir
Nses of the far north are not given
to expensive lingerie, and what
sartorial decoration the family
boasts is worn by the husband.
Mrs. Coonie cannot write hel
own name, but she is little handi.

capped in this as she has an ex-
pensive secretary to attend to that
part of her business. DR.. Selden
A. G.. Forsythe, graduate of Ed
inburgh and Oxford, attends to
Mrs. Coonie's affairs and practical
ly names his own compensation.
Mr.. Forsythe was in the first rush
to the Klondike, but he found no
gold and but few patients. He
was, however, appointed temper
airy guardian for the Eskimo wom-
an after her husbands death, and
later continued as her secretary
and the manager for her vast
freighting business. About four
years ago the learned secretary
had to gently but firmly repulse
Mrs. Coonie, who insisted upon
marrying him when she found her
property was powerful enough
incentive to keep him by her.
Though she finally accepted his re-
fusal, DR.. Forsythe says Mrs.
Coonie does not yet understand
why she "got the mitten."
