I respectfully protest against the company's liability to support those haAing con- 

 siderable cash credits named by yon in your list. Certainly such persons can not be 

 regarded as dependents, therefore would not be a charge on the company. All others 

 shall be provided as the company's contract requires and as you request, as also 

 those having the credits, until such time as the difference in our construction of the 

 lease between the Government and the North American Commercial Company can 

 be adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington. 

 I am, respectfully, 



Gko. R. Tingle, 

 Superiniendent North American Commercial Vowpavy. 

 Hon. J. B. Crowley, 



United States Treasury Agent, St. Paxil Island. 



Exhibit F. 



Office of Special Agent Treasury Department, 



St. Paul Island, Alaska, August 12, 1893. 



Sir: Since becoming personally acquainted with aflairs on the island, I find that 

 Maxim Krukofif; John Krukoff, aged 14 years, son of Maxim; John N. Krukotf, aged 

 14 years, son of Natalie Krukofi", a widow; George Kochergin, aged 1.5 years, son of 

 Feclusia Tetoff, a widow, and Valerian Shaisnakol!', aged 1.5 years, an orphan, were 

 this season placed on the list as sealers and permitted to draw rations and clothing 

 from the Government. 



On account of the mental and physical condition of Maxim Krukoft", the immature 

 age of John and John N. Krukoff, 1 deem it a mistake to have placed either of them 

 on the sealers' list. Since they have perforuied such labor as they were able dur- 

 ing the season, they will be permittecl to draw each a boy's share in the community 

 fund upon division, after the expenditure of which you Avill be expected to support 

 them, as i)rovided for under the contract between the Government and lessees. 



As to George Kochergin and Valerian Shaisnakoff, orders for clothing will be 

 issued to them in the future only for their personal needs. 

 Respectfully, yours, 



Jos. B. Crowley, Treasury Agent. 



Mr. Geo. R. Tingle, 



Superintendent of North American Commercial Company.
