Alaska Reindeer Roundup
 Of White-Owned Deer To
 Be Held January To April

The first mass roundup of AL aska reindeer will be held this winter under the aerial super vision of Charles G. Burdick.
 Negotiator for the federal gov ernment Mir. Burdick is enpow- cred to spend $72O,000 for the ac- quisition of reindeer from non- native owners conducting opera tions by chartered plane. A mum Der of bids have been submitted for the flights which will be made out of Nome from January to April 30.
 Accompanied by Mrs. Burdick and by MT and Mrs Walter J Clark, MT Burdick arrived in An chorage. They left Thursday by Mirow Air Service to set up an office in Nome. Transferred from a position as auditor in the Office of Indian Affairs MT Clark will be employed as fiscal agent for the reindeer acquisition unit. MT Burdick told the Anchor age Chamber of Commerce the United States government had as ranger the transfer in an attempt to set up a self-sustaining indus try for the natives of Alaska, and not, as some reports stated to
 'bail out white owners who have gone broke in the reindeer busi- ness"
 ''The white owners cannot hope to receive anywhere near what they have put into the industry" MT Burdick said. "The Lomen brothers, the owners of the great est herds, will probably receive more than 15 or 20 percent of the amount they have spent" He said the reindeer business proved improbable operated by both na tives and white men. but with all the herds owned by natives and the industry supervised by the government there was a good chance of it becoming self-sus- taining.
 MT. Burdick is authorized to purchase an estimated 180,000 reindeer at a maximum average of $4 head. His problem will be to reconcile the 180,000 figure sub mitted by the Rachford commit tee federal reindeer appraisal group with total of 500,000 deer claimed by white owners.
 Mass round-ups, held concur rently from the Alaska Peninsula to the Noatak River in Kotzebue Sound will be used in determin- ing ownership. Only about one third of the deer are ear-mark- ed MT Burdick said. Round-ups will be held between January and the last of April
 The tentative scheme, accord ing to MT Burdick is to use white men as unit managers in general charge of round-ups on each range and Eskimos for the re- maining work. The whites will be hired under civil service spec ifications and all tallying will be done by member of the Rein deer Service. MT Burdick plans to visit each roundup by plane. Because native and non-native owned reindeer are freely mixed it will be necessary to check the animals by running them thru a chute. The percentage of each owners marked deer will be de

] termined in relation to the to- al number of marked deer and the percentage applied to the number of mavericks. From the air an estimate of the number of deer missed will be made and the same percentage applied to the estimate.
 During the roundup animals will be splotched with paint to prevent their being counted twice. AS they pass through the chute a tabulation will be made and paint applied on the withers at the same instant. The paint marking is expected is remain until the deer shed in the spring.
 Covering an area slightly larg CT than the state of Texas, MT Burdick expects to find the heav fest body of his work on the &c., ward Peninsula at Unalakleet on the head of Norton Sound, the Buckland range on Kotzebue Sound drainage and on the Sela- wick Range. About one-third of non-native owned deer belong to tile Lomen brothers at Nome.
 On his fight Thursday MT. Bur dick planned to stop at Takotna, Holy Gross, Bethel, Nunivak ls- land, Akulurak, St. Michael and Unlakleet to contact non-native owners. Except for pilots and priests MT Burdick believes that he is the only white man to visit Ahulurak twice. The tiny vil- lage at the south sound of the Yukon consists of a Catholic mis sion with 150 Eskimo orphans and 100 adults. Reindeer herds are owned by the mission.
 There are about 800 deer for purchase at Umnak Island in the Alaska Peninsula it was learned. In Bethel the Pioneer Reindeer Company claims 10000 head.
 After establishing an office in Nome MT Burdick will begin his flights returning to Anchorage in February for a meeting of the Al aska Game Commission and the Fur Rendezvous. He has until June 30 to make payment on the reindeer and will leave for Wash ington, the following month.
 Acquisition of non-native own ed reindeer and establishment of the industry on native basis was approved by Congressional act in September, 1887.
 Although an appropriation of $2,0O0,O00 was authorized no mon ey was appropriated that ses- sion. At the last regular session Congress appropriated $795, ,0O0 for the work allotting $75,0O0 for administrative funds and the remaining $72O,0OO for acquisi- tion of the deer.
 As special representative of the Secretary of the Interior, MT Burdick flew to Washington to talk of Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior and assistants in the department.
 MT Burdick expects to encount |er temperatures of 60 below zero during the course of his work and commented on the difficulty of packing for an Arctic expedi- ton of this nature.
