mission to put in a culvert over
the washout on second.

wer to the wire, and permission
was refused, in spite the fact all

portunity to practice their talent
in other places besides Alaska.

PL ACEH PROPERTIES
CLOSE DOWN FOR
THIS SEASON
Wednesday the crew that has
been employed at the lower camp
on Chititu arrived in the city to
rest up from a etrenous season.
They were followed on Friday by
the entire crew from Dan creek,
leaving only five men to get in
wood and otherwise prepare the
camp for next season.
Mr. Charles Range arrived on
Tuesday with the season’s clean,
up from Dan creek. It is under
stood that the cleanup for the
summer is better than it has been
for several seasons past.
LANDSLIDE BLOCKS
TRACK
Friday saw the first train from
Cordova that the Copper River &
N.W.RR. has managed to get past
the rock slide that came down
at mile 129. It is estimated that
approximately aix thousand feet
of debris was on the track.
At one place the shovel stood
for twenty-four hours before it
could clear enough track to move
ahead on.
Thursday a small slide came
down that blocked the track at
mile 110, for about twenty hours
Two section gangs cleared the
latter slide.
ROADCAMP
CLOSES DOWN
Friday the Road Commission
camp at the Nizina River closed
down and with the exception of
one man the crew are in town.
The equipment, with the ex
coption of the motors, was taken
acr€>ss the river for storage at
the regular bridge camp.
Spring will probably see one
and possibly two crews on the
job. The number of men emplo
yed will depend on the amount
of construction that will be done
on the bridge
