WARDEN SAYS CARiBOU
ARE ON THE INCREASE
According to Game Warden J. if. :
Buttowt, who ir spending the holi-j
days in Xennn.i, the vast caribou i
herds, whose natural habitat is in1
the region at the headwaters of the I
many streams tributary to the Kan
tisima river, are steadily on the in
crease. He says they are more num
erous and in better condition now
that at any period during the last
seven years, at least. From about
ten miles out from Nenana, on the
shortcut trail, to the Dah] mount- i
ain region, caribou in herds of
more than a thousand each, can be
met with. From all reports received,
there is not a single cow in the
herds without a calf, some having
twins. These caribou are of the i
Woodland species and are slightly1
larger than the Barren Land cari
bou that roam the Arctic slope.
Moose, the game warden says,
are also more plentiful than in
former years, and the reports indi
cate that thc’-o is a different species
of moose in the country this year.
These animals are said to be some
what smaller than the moose ordi
narily seen, and their presence in
the country and their habits will
be investigated. Mr. Murie, of the
Biological department, who is now
in Fairbanks, probably will accom
pany Mr. Burrows into the McKin
ley Park region early next year for
the purpose of studying and classi
fying the animals.
Old Marco, well known oldtimer
of the Kantishna country, is camp
ed on McLeod Creek, from which
point he makes reular trips over
his trap line.
Johnny Lake and Henry Appell
are engaged in prospecting in the
Dah! Mountain region.
Sam Ivey and Smith left recently
for the headwaters of the Kusko
kwim. They are in search of a lost
rocker and sluice boxes left on a
creek in that region by some miners
some time ago. The story is that
the men who used the rocker and
boxes cleaned up quite a stake.
Employes of the Mt. McKinley
Gold Placers. Inc., have nearly com
pleted the work of installing hy
draulic pipe on the property of the
company on Caribou Creek. The
outfit will be ready for business by
the time the water runs.
Joe Quigley figures on taking out
some ore and doing considerable de
velopment work on his new find. He
Las two men working now on the
ground and later expects to drive
a winze for the purpose of getting
cut o»«*.
Pa' Kinnelly and '■’eneyck are do
ing considerable prospecting on the
slope across Moose '-'ik and op
posite to the Quigley pn-oerty.
Joe Dalton, who is iterested
with Quigley, is doing representa- j
tion work on their numerous hold- ;
ings.
The Pioneer mining claims, own
ed by Joe Dalton on Eureka Creek, i
will be worked next summer by ^
Weissel & Co., who have taken a j
lay on the ground. A plant and the ‘
necessary equipment and supplies
will be hauled to the property very
shortly and preparatory work taken
in hand.
Grant & Giles have about finished J
hauling supplies to their claims in
the Copper Mountain region, where 1
they expect to do some develop- ,
ment work.
Floyd Marsh has struck a prom
ising lead on Eldorado Creek. The
proposition looks very good and he
will do considerable development
work this winter,
Ed Brooker, who has been ap- ‘
pointed commissioner for Kantishna
precinct, will make his headquarters
on Friday Gulch, and will establish
a roadhouse there during the com-.
ing summer.
MESS WILL NOT BE OPENED
IF LOCAL PRICES GO DOWN
The much-discussed matter of the
reopening of the Commission mess
in Nenana. for the benefit of the
employes of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission, and the rum ore 1
establishment of a caffeteria for
employes and public, which caused
considerable comment recently, was
taken up with Col. H. P. Warren,
engineer in charge of the supply
division of the A. E. C., for the pur
pose og getting definite data.
Colonel Warren, who has been in
touch with Chairman Mears regard
ing the master, has informed The
News positively that the idea of
establishing a caffeteria in Nenana,
similar to the one at Anchorage, is
a very remote one, to say the least;
and that the Alaskan Engineering
Commission is not in favor of re
opening the mes here, unless com
pelled to do so.
The action of the Commission will
depend largely on whether or not
the restaurants in Nenana will be
able to arrive at some agreement
whereby the employes of the Com
mission will be enabled (to obtain
board at a lower rate than they are
compelled to pay at the present time
In any event, the caffeteria will
not be opened, but if conditions
c-ompel the Commission to reopen
the mess here as a measure of re
lief, it will be strictly for the em
ployes of the Commission.
With the commencement of rail
j road and bridge work next spring,
a large force of men will be em

prices of commodities, as well as
freight rates will then be more
favorable and it will be well for
those concerned to give ithe mat

view to revising rates for board.
Taking the average consumption

of food per capita per day at ten
pounds, which is greatly in excess
of the actual consumption, and fig
uring on the existing freight rate'
from Anchorage to N'enana, the
rate on this quantity amounts to
