: The steamer Shusana, which win
tered on the beach near the Alas
|kan Engineering Commission, was
! considerably damaged by a run of
ice which passed down the river
during the night., The side of the
| hull' toward the river was gouged
I by the heavy ice for a distance of
; CO feet, the damage being of such
a serious character that it is possi
ble no attempt will be made to make
repairs, unless sufficient business
should develop to warrant the ex
pense of replanking.
It is estimated that it will take
about $1,200 to put the boat in ,
commission again.

TELIS GOVERNOR
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
That Tom Aitken and associates
are taking: out ore in the Kantishna
country that, will run from $500 to
$1,000 a ton, and will have from
$400,000 to $800,000 worth of ore
at Roosevelt with the opening of
spring is the information conveyed
to the Governor's oflice in a letter
received in Juneau recently from
Alexander Mitchell, who wrote from
the ground.
Mr. Mitchell's letter is dated at
Kantishna, January 24, and is ad
dressed to Governor Thomas Riggs,
Jr. It says:
“Knowing that you are interested
in the progress of Vlaska. I write
to inform you of the quartz pros
pects. The Quigley group of 22
claims, I have been told, are under
option to Tom Aitken, it is said for
$230,000. The first payment of
$10,000 is said to have been paid
last September. Men working for
Aitken found a stringer of galena |
that runs from a fewr inches to
three feet, that is said to run all
through from $300 to $4,200 to the
ton in silver, besides carrying gold
from a few dollars to $160, and J
also 2 percent copper.
“There are 14 or 15 men working;
day and night in the mine. Ed Bart- j
lett has a contract for hauling the!
ore to Roosevelt. He has from 17 '
to 20 head of horses. I went up |
to the mine the other day and was i
told that they had taken out already j
about 400 tons, and expected to j
take out 800 by spring. The ore
is said to keep the same richness
all through. The most conserva
tive thought the average would be
$500 per ton.
“The present needs of the camp
here are a wagon road to Roosevelt J
and a mail service from Nenana to j
here at least once a month. I am i
told we have a postoffice, but with- i
out the mail delivery it is of no .
benefit.
“Through all the information I
can pick up, I would suggest with
a view to the future, when en
gineers are to look up a route into
here for a railroad, that they start
at Singleton’s roadhouse1 on the main
line and go a few degrees south of
west to the mouth of the Clear- j
water, up the Clearwater and over |
Myrtle summit. I am also aware,
that Stephen Capps recommended
the upper route by Highway pass, j
1 hope you will use your influence }
in helping us get the above im- j
provements for the camp."
Dr. J. A. Sutherland, assistant 1
territorial health officer, and Drug
gist Frank R. Clark will occupy
quarters in the Bowen building dur
ing their stay in Nenana, where
they may be reached by special
phone.
