Reindeer for Alaska Move by Government Vessel Bear
The government supplies twenty reindeer from Point Clarence aboard the Bear bound for Yukon River gold fields. Rev. Sheldon Jackson and Miner W. Bruce led the study of introducing reindeer to the Yukon. The Bear will proceed to St Michaels via St Lawrence Island then Siberia, arriving in July and turning the animals over to P. I. Weare for river transportation. The Alaska rush grows as steamers sail north crowded with prospectors and residents alike. Freight and meat prices hinge on eastern markets and packing methods.
