|WORK IS STARTING
ON RAILROAD TRAM
The work of installing the
aerial tram which is to span
the Nenana river at 43
mile was taken in hand this
week and it is expected that
the rig will be ready for use
about the first of September.
It was the intention of En
gineer in charge Fred’k D.
Browne to commence the
driving of a temporary
bridge this week, but recent
rains have swelled the river
to such an extent that the
work cannot be taken in
hand at present. Mr. Browne
states, however, that the
bridge will be driven just as
soon as water conditions will
permit, and through rail
'communication re-establish
ed with the end of steel at
Nenana canyon,
i In the meantime, the aerial
tram will be used for the
transfer of freight at the
crossing, and during future
periods of interrupted traf
fic, pending the installation
of the permanent steel
bridge.
Heavy timbers for use as
anchorage for the tram tow
ers were shipped out the line
last week and the work of
putting in the foundations is
already in progress. This
will require considerable
time, the rest of the work
being merely a matter of as-;
sembiing the various parts
and stringing the cable.
The tram will have a '{-in 1
of approximately 750 feet;
and will be equipped with i
two buckets, each with a car
rying capacity of two tons.i
The arrangement is such j
that the buckets can be sent!
across close together or at a
distance from each other so
as to permit of the carrying!
of rails or long timbers.
There is a third bucket avil-i
able for emergency use.

ISICK MAN BROUGHT
TO TOWN FOR CARE
—
Charles Anderson, well
[known oldtimer who has
been working for Ed Bartlett
Ion the R o o s e v e 1 t-Moose
wagon road, was brought to
[town last night for medical
lattention, and was much im
proved today after he had re
ceived treatment at the Gov
ernment hospital. The sick
iman was brought from the
the Kanishna by John Lee
and another man. They left
Roosevelt early Saturday in
a small boat and paddled
their way down stream un
til they reached the camp of
Emil Hanson, where Ander
son was loaded on to Han
■ son’s gas boat and, with
IHanson at the wheel, a rec
ord run was made to Ne
jnana, the launch being kept
on the go day and night.
Andy Livingston, master
of the power boat Kestrel
which is engaged in hauling
the Aitken ore from Roose
velt to the mouth of the
Kantishna river, was picked
up enroute and landed at
Nenana in time yesterday to
board the gascar for Fair
banks. He returned from
the upper town this noon
and started back for the
Kantishna this afternoon,
with Hanson.
Lee reports considerable
activity in the ’Kantishna,
with the outlook very en
couraging for large-scale de
velopment. A number of
good finds, he says, have
been made recently.
The power-boat Kestrel
has delivered two loads of
Aitken ore at the mouth of
the Kantishna and it is ex
pected that the ore left
at Roosevelt landing can be
handled in another ’oal
When Lee and his com
panions left Roosevelt, the
river was runriing bank full,
as a result of the recent
heavy rains. Co is.'ch rable
cduntrv was inundated and
the water was still rising,
but the freshet did not last
long, in Lee’s opinion.
Lee may leave for the
States within the near future
