75* LEDGE
EKLUTNA RIVED
Mr. and Mrs. .1. H. Smith, accom
panied by Mrs. G. W. Wentworth,
returned yesterday from a trip over
the government railroad and all re
port a very pleasant time in connec
tion witn the trip which was made !
primarily to inspect some mining j
property, in which Mr. Smith is in- j
terested.
This property is located on the .
banks of the Eklutna river about one j
mile from the railroad track and the
property is now being developed on
account of the surface indications
that showed up on the 75-foot ledge:
the assays of the different tests
show values'ranging from $4 to ¥24
per ton and Mr. Smith feels confi
dent that they are justified in going
ahead with further development. (
Mr. Smith was loud in his praise i
of the work being done by the Alas
kan Engineering Commission and as j
he has been prominently connected j
with several of the more important I
rail roads of the country is in a po- j
sition to judge when he makes tUo
statement that in all of his expert-1
ence he has seen nothing to surpass j
the class of work of the government
road and spoke particularly of the j
courtesy of the officials.
Mr. Smith said that a man was its- j
vtally a stranger in his own country |
and that this was certainly true in
his case as he had no conception of
the progress of the railroad building
nor of the wonderful opportunities
that the Matanuska valley afforded
in the way of farming and that too
much could not he sail} or written
in regard to the Matanuska farms.
NOTICE.

lar Saturday night dance for this

By sending their new twin screw
M. V. the Kuskokwim River to Beth
el and other Kuskokwim river
’points, the Westward Navigation
Co. has filled a Ions felt want,
which the shippers of that district
were quick to take advantage of.
With the exception of a small con
signment for Vnalaska. the large
load, eleven hundred odd tons dead
weight and measurement, which she
carried, was all consigned to river
points. In this respect the Kusko
kwim river was an agreeable sur
prise to her owners and all others
concerned. Because of her splen
did showing several flattering offers
to buy or charter her at the end of
the Alaska season have already been
made. Up to now the owners have
refused any such offers being well
satisfied with their bargain.
The Kuskokwim River has proved
herself a very economical vessel to
operate and considering the heavy
weather encountered on her trip to
Unalaska after leaving Ketchikan
her average speed of 7 1-2 knots
was all that could be desired as the
engines were new. no attempt was
made to press them?? She was out
in the same gale that caused the
powerful Portland tug Samson to
seek refuge with a much battered
tow in Yakutat. Thus aside from
tier other good qualities. • the Kus
kokwim River has proved herself an
excellent sea boat.
The first dredge shipped into the
KuskoRwim river district went up
on this vessel. Mr. H. Riley, the
principal backer in the new venture,
is known as one of the most experi
enced and shrewd miners in the
great northland and his friends are
expecting great things of the new
company.
The Westward Navigation Co. has
also contracted to bring out the first
direct shipment of antimony ore, a
mineral to be found in large quan
tities in this section and which, ow
ing to the war, nas obtained an un
precedented value. A rapid develop
ment of the mining of this compara
tively new mineral, new at least to
Alaska mines, is sure to follow.
The winter catch of fur, in itself
a valuable business as the Kusko
kwim river furs are fa.mous for their
qvality, will also come out on the
Kuskokwim River; likewise a ship
ment of mild cured king salmon, a
splendid fish which abounds in the
river.
