WORD FROSVi JACK O’BRIEN
A lot ter iris recently been
received here from our old friend
Jack O’lirit n who is at present
iii Fairbanks where he expects
to be for some time. His letter
m part is as follows:
“Charlie Foncell, who used
to keep time at Kennecott, is in
the office here. Bill Noel, Ted
1 ronstad. Jim Gdkey, and Shorty
Briggen are here. Shorty does
n't know what he will do yet.
will probably return toMcCsrthy.
The Polar expedition is having a
lot of hard luck here. A news
paper correspondent was killed
ami both planes wrecked. The
landing gear doesn’t seem heavy
enough to hold them when they
land. They have graders and
tractors scraping the landing
field ever since I have been here.
Don't know what they will do in
the Polar regions as it is almost
impossible to take a scraper and
tractor up there. Wish Bill
Berry was here.”
Tony Leclair and Homer
Gilkey came in from Copper
Creek this week.
Carl Engstrom is progress
ing very favorably at Kennecott
hospital, having had his arm re
leased from the sling and put in
