charge of the railroad construction
in the Nenana district, has decided
to remain there. He will have

been offered the position of deputy
marshal at Anchorage.

death recently in a lonely spot on
Rainy areek, was possessed of nug.
gets, ohecks and cash valued at
$1000. He also had several bun
dles of furs the value of which has
not been determined, and an ac-!
count of $5000 in an outside bank, j
He has two brothers in Moran, Wn,'
and other relatives in that state.
Jack Brooks, a well known pros- j
peCtor who has been located in the j
Forty-mile country for the past 20
years, left recently for the outside j
and will spend the winter in the !
States. He says that the old pros- j
pectors who refused to work for i
wages and have stayed on the j
ground since that mining region |
was first opened up, are almost all'
gone or are old men. New men!
coming in are employed by the
companies.
The new cut-off trail from the ■
Tanana terminus to Fort Gibbon;
has been completed. This trail
leads from Nenana to the Johnnie;
Campbell roadhouse on the old Hot
Springs trail, and was recently!
I
constructed by popular subscription
among those interested in the pro
ject. By the construction of the
trail it is not now necessary for
I
I travelers fo take passage to Dunbai
station as formerly, but leave dir j
rectly from fyenana for the army
post town. The new trail will be
brought to a better Stage of comr
pletion during the winter.
The Daniel Kern, towing the W.
T. &. B. Co. barge Nq. 36, loaded
with 500,000 feet of lumber from
the mill of the Ketchikan Power
Company, to be re-shjpped ffom
Seattle to England, sailed for the
south recently,
Captain Peter Wold of the S, S.
Atlas reports- the town of Kanatak
is practically out of coal and that
the fuel question will be a serious
one there this Winter. The big oil
companies are employing a large
number of carpenters, and the
work of constructing the company
bunkhouses and buildings is pro*
gressing rapidly. Captain Wold is
of the opinion that the new town
will experience a great boom next
spring.
Indications of a murder having1
been committed near the mouth of I
the Novikait river some time ago j
are contained in a wire to the U.S.
Marshal’s office in Fairbanks from
Deputy John Wood, of Ruby. Part
of a human skeleton with a bullet
hole through the back of the head
has been found by the natives. A
coroner’s jury found that an uni
dentified man had been killed by
an unknown party. The Kovikakit
river is a tributary of the Yukon,
entering that stream about 100
miles below ths mouth of the Tan
ana.
