were each fined $3 and costs,

stones in the City Cemetery near

boys who were reported to have

Clarence Lane, who lives ad

By Rutiell Annabel
United Press Staff Correspendent
Nome, Alaska U.PJ When
the squat, left-fingered Eskimo
artisans gather this winter in
their sod-roofed underground
huts to fashion their season's
output of trade Jewelry, the
more expert among them will
not follow ancient custom and
and necklaces of . fossil walrus
lvory-rbut Instead will carve
them from nuggets of clear
multi-colored jade.
The jade will be brought
down the Kobuk river by kayak
and dog-team from the half
mythical "mountain of Jade."
concerning which white pros
pectors and wilderness wander
ers have told gaudy tales to a
skeptical public since the days
or the early gold rushes.
Laughed at Sourdoughs
' Like Jim Bridger's yams of
the Great Salt Lake and the
geysers of the Yellowstone, the
sourdoughs' tales of the Kobuk
jade were set down as so much
frontier fiction. But they con
tinued to keep the story alive.
They would come in off the high
tundra and tell of finding bould
ers of bright green, milkv. white
and" black jade in the streams
tributary to the Kobuk.
This' summer, Maj. Marvin
Marston, Seattle, Wash., mili
tary aide to Governor Ernest
Gruening, journeyed Into the re
mote Kobuk country to investi
gate the story of Jade mountain
If the jade actually were there
he foresaw a new and profitable
industry for the Eskimo tribes
men a new medium for their
skill as makers of jewelry.
When Marston returned from
the upper Kobuk, his stories of
what he had seen were gaudier
tnan any of the old-timers had
told to. the traders and gold-
nunters of the Bering rim.
Boulders of Jade
"The jade is there, all right,
the major said. T saw the moun
tain and saw the float jade In
the stream beds, and it is jew
elry jade, as fine as any I ever
saw. It ranges from black to
white, and there are enormous
chunks of it boulders larger
than a dozen men could lift."
Maj. Marston carried a 164-
pound nugget of clear green
Jade down a creek bed to the
river, where his Eskimo canoe-
men loaded it into their walrus-
skin boat and freighted lt down
to the seacoast. -After making
certain of its quality, Marston
ordered cutting tools for the
Eskimos and plans have been
made for the- manufacture this
winter of jade necklaces and
bracelets of Eskimo design for
sale in the native co-operative
stores.
White .mining men and trad-l
ers, suddenly aliva to the pos
sibilities of the Kobuk jade im
mediately found they had busi
ness upriver business chiefly
concerned with the staking of
claims along streams where the
alluvial jade was most plentiful.
The old-timers, who for up
wards of 40 years had been
laughed at for their tales of Jade
