town for a couple ot days, re
turned to tde Green Butte yes
terday.

tracting on the Erie tunnel was
in town on a visit this week. He
was accompanied by Fred Pier
son.
It is reported that there is a
patient now confined in the Ken
necott hospital suffering from an
overdose of wood alchol. Rumor
has it that the product was ob
tained locally. In any event the
stuff has put one man in the hos
pital and his drinking partner
out of his head fora lew hours
so far.
Mrs. Chris Jensen and dvnight
er were in town yesterday visit
ing friends and shopping. They
returned to their home at Ken
necott on the speeder that trans
ported the Elks to the ball game

cated ib and around Seattle. He

A. R. C. Plans Expedit
ion to Chisana
According to first hand infor
mation plans are being promol
guated by the officials of the A.
R. C.. that will probably end up
with a road being built into the
Chisana and eventually into the
White River.
Within the next ten days Sup
erintendent Huddleston is expect
ed to order a reconnaissenee oar
t-y into the tleU, headed by the
present engineer of construction
at the bridge, Mr, Anderson.
Huddleston is expected to arri
ve at McCarthy any time to con
fer as to ways and means.
At present it is expected that
if a road were to be started that
it would-be extended on from the
present undertaking, as this
route is thought to be a potential
factor in the development of
more claims than the route from
Chitina. Without doubt a road in
to Chisana from this point would
not only help the •placer camp,
but would be tlie means of open
ing up vastly rich copper proper
ties that are located along the pro
jected route.
In case a road is decided up
on this town will live up to the
oft repeated prediction that' *‘if
will be the ‘Butte’, of Alaska.’.
