Monday, January 26.
Superintendent of Construction
Dan Leach, who recently took
charge of Headquarters camp here,
as well as all camps to the south
beyond the end of steel, in this divi
sion, has been on the go ever since.
He left camp yesterday, headed to
ward Jack river, and is expected to
be away looking over the work till
next Saturday.
The >-an)*3 of the grading con
tractors working in the canyon have
been considerably augmented with
the arrival recently of two more
outfits, viz: Stanley P. ChernaefT
& Co., six partners, and Chris S.
Nikovich & Co., seven partners,
i These two outfits are putting up
; their camps and getting their sup
plies together. They will start ac
[ tive grading operations almost im
I 'I'wo coyote holes were set off in
jthe canyon recently by Herman
Ulagnusen & Co., who are grading
a section of the right-of-way from
j station 17,060 to station 17,007
- plus 50. The first blast was set off
jin the south end of the cut they
[arc engaged in taking out, 1,500
pounds of TNT and 1100 pounds of
black powder being used—the latter
explosive being used in two upper
holes and the TNT in the lower
hole. The entire charge was elec
trically exploded, as usual, and is
estimated to have moved approxi
Ijmately 2,500 yards of material,
imostly rock. Half of this material
[will’be thrown down the slope, and
the rest will be used on the grade.
The other'coyote hole was put
ioff in the rock cliff overhanging a
i
section of the right-of-way on which
!a till is to bo made. This hole was
■loaded with 1,200 pounds of TNT.
The blast is estimated to have brok
ien up about 2,500 yards of material,
{about 1,800 yards of which, it is
i i estimat .'d, will be used in the till.
i Victor Young & Co., whose eon
1 tract covers a section of the right
jof-way from station 17,065 plus 50
,to station 17,074, are preparing a
■coyote hole, which will be set off
. in a few days. They expect to use
'about two tons of TNT, and figure
[on moving much material.
Travel on the river is positively
j dangerous, a- blasting operations
iare almost continuously in progress
along the canyon. Rocks of large
jsize, loosened by the explosions or
otherwise, are also a constant men
iace, and it is not possible for con
tractors and others working in the
{canyon to warn travelers on the ice
i below. All persons should be warned
•to keep off th" river ice through
■the canyon. There is a good wagon
;roari southward from camp toward
the “hump,” which, though a little
longer, is much safer than the can
yon route.
The party under Resident Kngi
'neer Huston 1). Mills has been as
signed the work of cross-sectioning
___________________
! a portion of the right-of-way or
Residency 6. To get the distance;
accurately, the men of the partj
have to be steadied at the end of a
rope on the precipitous side of th«
canyon.
The first consignment of supplies
i consisting of a carload of floui
| (60,000 pounds), was received al
! the Broad Pass store recently, and
l
, it is expected that a steady stream
; of supplies will continue to comi
! until everything the A. E. C. offi
jcials intend to stock it with has
i been received at this store. Store
, keeper Beatty, with his assistant
and a force of men, is-busy putting
the stuff away and/ getting the store
! shipshape.
| Material and supplies consigned U
| the several grading contractors con
jtinue to arrive as before, in increas
ing quantity, on direct consignment
! from the N'enana store. Just a:
i.-oon as the Broad Pass store ha;
: been fully stocked, the contractor;
i and camps along the canyon and
beyond will draw their supplies here
It is expected that this will be pos
sible in about a week or so.

General Storekeeper Bob Donald
'son visited the store here last Sat
urday and sized up the situation.
He was satisfied with the way things
have been carried on so far. He
probably will be here again next
Saturday.
Engineer in Charge and Mrs
, Browne, accompanied by Superin
- tendent Dan Leach, left camp Sun
day morning for Moreno’s roadhouse
The chief probably will go out as
far as Broad l’ass, the end of th
division, ere returning. The partj
traveled in two dog sleds—one driv
:
j en by Bill Sborgia and the othei
by Dorwin Browne.
To handle the increasing quantitj
.of freight consigned to the contrac
tors along the canyon and to tin
engineering camp beyond the eni
of steel, a dozen more horses, wit-1
. the necessary sleds, harness, etc.
reached camp on the last train
With the two saddle horses, then
are now 26 head of stock in camp.
Team Foreman O. E. Steele ar
rived in camp on the last train une
has taken charge of all livestock
barn equipment, feed, etc., and wil
attend to the disposition of al
teams hauling freight, under the di
rection of Superintendent Leach.
The population of Canyon Cit\
'has had a sugstantial increase with
the arrival of several teamsters and
other employes of the A. K. C
More are expected shortly.
i The mcsshall and dormitory arc
fast taking shape, and it is ex
ported that they will soon be com
pleted. Foreman Archie McDouga
is concentrating his forces on these
buildings.

“Queenie,” the camp's pet Irish
setter of noble lineage, presented
her owner, Storekeeper Beatty,, with
a litter of healthy puppies. The
color of the pups is entirely differ
ent from that of their dam and sire,
and indicates a throwback to her
illustrious sire and possibly gTand
;sire. The exact hour and date of
the advent of the litter into the
life of the camp is shrouded in mys
tery, as Queenie had been missing
, for a few days. The discovery of
the litter was made last night in 1
rather startling manner.
Head Waiter Itotly Conners, who
presides over the “Tyee’s” car, was
engaged in removing the last ves
tige of last night’s supper, when
Queenie hurst in on him anti nearly
knocked him off his feet. She was
carrying a puppy in her mouth, and
this she. laitl at his feet. Now, Body
is a practical fellow at all times
and knows dogs, and so he figured
that Queenie must be hungry, and,
to use his own expression, he im
mediately ‘‘threw a good feed into
her." The puppy brought to him,
a beautiful white one, was frozen
stiff, and fearing for the rest of
them, he ditl not let Queenie linger
long over her meal. As soon as she
had gulped tlown her food, she
“made tracks” for her home and
family, closely followed by Rod.v
and Dor Browne, who discovered
her litter on the snow underneath
one of the dining ears. Storekeeper
Beatty, who happened to be at the
store at the time, was apprised bv
phone of the find, and he immedi
ately hastened down to cam)) with
a roomy box filled with wrarm things
such as old socks and other dis
carded apparel. ' With the assist
ance of Body Conners, Dor Browne,
Lester Earhart and others, the litte.’
was rescued from its cold quarters
and placed in the box, which was
forthwith transferred to Broad Pass
store. Of the litter of five, two
were frozen. The survivors ar'‘
well and hearty, and from all ac
counts are exercising their lungs
during the night by way of prepar
ing to join the malamute chorus in
the fullness of time. .Storekeeper
: I
' Beatty is quite proud of his new
pets and manages to get a little
respite from his multifarious duties,
which he devotes to their care. The
puppies have been pronounced “dan
dies” by all the dog experts in Can
yon City, including the Malamute
i Kid.
I
Resident Engineer Huston D.
j Mills get the choice of the litter
; for a pet, of which he is greatly in
. need. He is an ardent lover of
j dogs, and Qtieenie, above all others.
I has ever been his especial favorite;
I but as he does not own her quite,
jand entertains no prospects of ever
being able to do so, intends to trans
i fer his affections to the new ar
. rival.
Chris Edmunds, of the A. E. C
| engineering staff, arrived on tin
train last Saturday and installed a
; weather observation station here^
! Regular daily weather reports wilt
; be made from February 1.
, Delightful weather during the pasl
few days has been experienced by
; the Canyon City dwellers. Temper
atures between six and ten degrees
above zero, absence of wind, and a
light snowfall.
, Jim Trainor, of the Canyon road
,house (formerly Davis’), arrived in
icamp this morning to arrange for
. the purchase or hire of a horse to
jdo the freighting for the roadhouse.
| He left again, in the afternoon.
Cribbage is all the rage in Can
yon City “sporting circles” just
now, and Mr. Edmunds’ visit was.
made the occasion for getting up a
game. Edmunds, although conceded
to be an expert player, is generally
j unlucky. His “forte” is pegging,
j “Sounds of revelry by night” eman
ating from the resident engineer’s
quarters recently amply indicated
that an unusually lively game wasj
in progress. Results unknown.
