Dave Patterson is preparing to
begin work on his contract at 338.
A new camp, known as the
Shovel camp, has been established
j at Mile 345.
The roads are in very bad con
dition south of Healy, being al
most impassable at places.
Two of the Martin children, en
route to Nenana from the coast,
I had a narrow escape while crossing
t Riley creek. They were making the
! ford on the back of a horse and
| when neary across the steam, the
horse stepped in a deep hole. The
children received a ducking, but
were rescued before harm befell
them.
W. H. Wolcott is on his way to
Nenana from Camp 327, for a visit
in town.
Sunday was a big day at Lignite
creek, about 24 residents of Healy
having made the trip to the fishing
grounds for an outing. The weather
was fine and the fish plentiful.
The aerial tram at Nenana Cross
ing, which is being used to move
freight across the Nenana river, is
working splendidly, according to re
ports from that point.
GROUND BROKEN AT HEALY
TO TAP NEW COAL VEIN
The Healy River Coal Corpora
tion on May 4 broke ground for a
new coal mine at Healy, and the
occasion was one of much moment
to the busy camp. The new coal
seam which is to be tapped, ex
tends from the outcropping on the
river, between Singleton’s Pioneer
Hotel and the Alaskan Engineering
commission offices, and is seven
feet thick. Tests show the coal to
be the best grade of lignite thus
far found in the Nenana Coal fields,
being absolutely free from all
foreign matter and having less ash
content than any yet produced
in this district.
The new seam will make an ex
cellent addition to the company’s
present mine, for the production of
coal during the entire year.
BASEBALL SEASON OPENS;
POST STAGES FAST GAME
| The 1921 baseball season at
Tanana started off on Sunday with
one of the fastest games ever wit
nessed at the Army post. The
' Doughboys went down to a two to
I one defeat at the hands of the
; Signal Corps in a game replete
with thrills and excitement. The
two teams battled for 17 innings,
with spectacular pitching on both
sides, and it was anyone’s game
until the last stanza when Lequatte,
the second sacker for the Flag wig
glers, knocked a two-bagger and was
| brought home by Stroupe, who put
I a long single in right held.
Winship, pitching for the Signal
Corps, struck out 19 men and walk
ed none. Both pitchers received
wonderful support, only four errors
being made, three on the Dougn
boys and one for the Signal Corps.
The batteries were Winship and
Marselle, Signalers; Brooks and
Krause, Doughboys.
The combination of both teams
expect to make a trip to Nenana
and Fairbanks to cop a few games
later in the season.
Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Sutherland
arrived from Fairbanks late Satur
day afternoon, in their launch, Si
wash, and left for Tolovana on
Sunday, accompanied by a number
of men who will make preparations
for a voyage up the Kantishna river
with a quantity of freight for the
Sutherland hydraulic operations on
Moose creek. Dr. and Mrs. Suther
land will return to Nenana from
Tolovana.
The train arriving from the south
yesterday brought quite a number
of passengers to Nenana.

Acting under authority of the
Red Star Society, R. M. Brown has
| telegraphed to Territorial Health
Officer J. A. Sutherland requesting
jthat the Alaskan Engineering Com
| mission be prevented from bringing
' diseased horses to Nenana from
| camps out the line. Mr. Brown ex
! plains that he has been informed
| that many of the commission horses
I
have distemper and that or.e team
i now enroute to town has the dis
1 ease.
j Mayor Joe O’Connor has reqested
The News to remind local teamsters
to keep their horses off sidewalks
i and sidewalk grades in town. There
is a law against such practices and
j it is the intention to the town,
, trustees to cause the arrest of of
i
fenders if there are further vio
!
lations.
| Billy Ford, who left for Hot
Springs with the mail on Saturday,
1 made the trip without mishap and
is now returning to Nenana, having
left the Springs yesterday.
The steamer Alaska, which was
scheduled to arrive here from winter'
quarters on Sunday, has been delay
ed through failure of the ice to
leave the mouth of the Tolovana
river. The Tanana river is now
clear almost to the mouth, but the
Alaska is unable to get into the
river from her winter berth.
!
The Commission power boat, Mid
night Sun, is now in service as a
ferry boat between Nenana nad
North Nenana. Will Sherwin, who
was in charge of the Commission
fleet last summer, is master of the
craft.
Alphonso Preisic and Frank and
John Paulstein oldtime residents
of Interior Alaska, arrived from
the coast on yesterday’s train and
left this afternoon for Fairbanks,
where they will try to make con
nections with one of the fishing out
fits now organizing in the upper
town. The trio mushed over the
trail, between steel, and report a
tough trip owing to heavy traveling
between the summit and Healy.
i They were compelled to ford Riley
creek and on the trail they were
wading or ploughing through mud
most of the time. There remained
about five feet of snow on the
summit when they passed that point.
Funds are being solicited for the “
benefit of Billy Williams, well:
known oldtimer who had a severe
attack of the flu last year and does
not appear able to regain his health.
The money will be used to assist
him to seek health in a warmer
climate. Frank Rourke was out with
a list yesterday and lists have been
left at the Portland, Terminal and
N. C. store, where subscriptions
will be received.

naissance was made over three
