(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
By a deal consummated on Saturday
the Alaskan Engineering Commission,
on behalf of the government, has leas
ed from the Tanana Valley railroad,
20 acres of ground for a terminal. The
ground is located on Garden island, al
most directly across the river from
St. Matthew’s church. This announce
ment was made this morning by
Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission.
Mr. Riggs stated that early in the
spring, as soon as the ice goes out,
he will start the construction of a big
warehouse for the railroad, and will
also build a dock on that side of the
river.
Plans for Spring.
When work ceases this fall, that is,
when the great amount of work
ceases; the only real activity will be
at Nenana, where the rock work is
to be carried on. The narrow guage
engines and cars, with which to
carry on the construction work, are
on the way to Nenana now and will
be there before the close of naviga
tion. The steam shovel is in place
also, ready to go ahead with the
work. Practically all of this rock
work will be on the north side of the
Tanana, just opposite the town of Ne
nana.
Mr. Riggs was asked if, at the expi
ration of the summer work, there
would be sufficient funds to proceed
again next summer and he replied
that there would be enough money to
start early in the spring on a large
scale. He added that the Fairbanks
office of the commission would be a
busy place also, as it will have a dis
trict engineer and a big force of men.
During the next summer a lot of steel
will be laid, ready to receive the cars,
and a large part of the track, from
Fairbaanks to the Nenana coal fields
will be ready for the trains of the
government railroad.
Work Progressing Now.
At Nenana and at the Fairbanks
end of the railroad, the work is pro
gressing now as well as could be ex
pected under the circumstances. A1

In mail received from the states a
copy of the ruling of the circuit court
of appeals, in the case of Irvine vs.
McDougal, was received, and in it are
some matters of interest to all miners
and mining men of the district. In the
decision, it is held that a miner may
assign his lien on a property and that
afterward that lien may be enforced.
Heretofore it has been held gener
ally by the courts of Alaska that once
a man assigned his claim for wages
against a property that he at once lost
the right of filing a lien and that his
assignee could not file a lien to en
force the right. Now, that the court
holds that a person may assign his lien
to another for the purpose of bringing
suit and that it may then be filed.
It is important to miners generally,
as it will simplify matters when they
try to collect their wages on mining
properties.
the freight for the commission has
been shipped from Seattle and Mr.
Riggs hopes that it will be able to
get through. It is certain that enough
will arrive to make it possible to go
ahead full blast in the spring.
Throughout the winter the Fair
banks offices will be maintained and
will be busy preparing for the spring
opening.

He had some money—but lie had no Bank Ac
count. He could not see the need of one. He
had a splendid chance to enlarge his business
and make big money. He had not enough cash
on hand. He was unable to borrow any from a
Bank, because as he kept no Bank Account the
Bank knew nothing about his financial respon
sibility.
