OF NAVIGATION
In view of the early breakup and
the consequent early opening of
navigation on the Yukon and its
tributaries, the American Yukon
Navigation company officials have
already taken the necessary steps j
to put the floating equipment in,
shape for launching as soon as the
ice goes out.
A gang of men under First Offi
cer Andy Livingston went down to i
Chena from Fairbanks recently to i
commence work of repairing, re
fitting and painting the boats and j
barges wintering there.
Captain George Green, who will;
be in command of the steamers
Tanana and Reliance this season,'
has arrived in Fairbanks with Chief
Engineer Stokes. They will have
supervision of the refitting work
of the boats and machinery respect
ively until launching time. ‘
Jack Bellerby leaves Fairbanks
on the Allard stage for Tolovana,
to look after the work to be done
on the barges wintering there. There
are twelve barges of the A. Y. N.
Co. in the Tolovana river, and they
were watched during the winter
season by Emil Volkman. As soon
as the barges have been put in
shape for the season, Mr. Bellerby
will probably come to Nenana and
resume his old position as wharf
inger.
Some necessary supplies in the
way of rubber boots,, etc., were
sent to the Joyce Lake roadhouse
today, to meet the stage, for the use
of Mr. Bellerby and his helpers.
