The freight rates from Teller to the creeks of the Kougarok district 
were not available in detail for this report. Freighting by wagon 
haul is, however, carried on from Teller, York, and some of the other 
more distant coast points of Seward Peninsula, and the rates may 
be figured as higher than at Nome in proportion to the increased cost 
of supplies at those coast points. 
On Ophir Creek, in the Council district, it has been shown that the 
larger companies can reckon on obtaining their supplies direct from 
San Francisco via ocean steamer to Cheenik; flat steamers, Cheenik to 
mouth of the Niukluk; horse boat, Niukluk mouth to Council, and 
railway from Council to the creek, at a cost of approximately 2 cents 
a pound in excess of San Francisco prices. Table 26 gives the local 
freight rates from the main suppl} 7 points to the creeks.
