The Nome nugget., 1924-10-18
ONE HALF MILLION
 IN GOLD ON THE
 STEAMER VICTORIA

Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 with
 over 27O passengers from Nome The ship arrived here September 30, and after being delayed on sc- count of indictment weather for a few days discharged small am ount of freight and went on to Golovin where more bad wirdr hindered her to some extent in working her cargo. On returning, via St. Michael, she was rewarded with fair winds and the work of
 unloading was completed without
 interruption. In all, the Vic was
 in the vicinity for fifteen days, be- ing almost a month out before starting the return trip.
 A shipment of gold from the l Miners and Merchants Bank here is probably the most important item of the Victoria's cargo. This shipment, little over a ton in 1 weight, is in brick form, taking up ' lItblt SIttc, buI is NoiuNh ttI -o VI 900. This consignment makes about a million dollars in bullion | that has been shipped from here so far this season, and II is esti-
 mated that approximately half
 million more will he shipped be- 1 fore the close of navigation. This
 will easily equal the shipments of ! gold of last year.
 1 Leaving Nome the vessel was scheduled to run in at Akutan to , load the crew of the whaling sta : tion of the North Pacific Sea Pro duets Co., and q quantity of sea
 products for Seattle.
 The Victoria has in her cold , storage spaces the carcasses of
 513 reindeer loaded at GolOvin
 from the herds of local raisers.
 This takes up the full amount of
 space for this sort of cargo. Other
 cargo loaded at this point was
 about 25O barrels of herring, in ! which considerable difficulty was
 experienced in loading on account
 of the rough weather The her. , ring was stored around the spit
 from the site of loading and the
 water on that side was frozen over making the access difficult. Other shipments included sev-
 erel tons of walrus hides. a con
 siderable quantity of walrus ivory
 as well as q good deal of manu-
 factured ivory. A team of II
 Malmute dogs, purchased in Nome for transfer to interior points is
 another item deserving of men
 tion
