COL. MEARS WILL GO EAST !
TO EXPLAIN NEEDS OF ROAD
Col. F. Mears, chairman and chief
engineer of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission, who was in Xenana
yesterday, accompanied^y William
Gerig. assistant chief engineer, will
leave for Washington later in the
month to confer with Secretary Fall
wkh regard to the annual appropria
tion for the Alaska Railroad. It is
estimated that two million dollars
will be needed to meet current re
quirements and cover tfte cost of
extending the standard gauge track
to F'airbanks. which work will be
undertaken in the early spring if
funds are available.
During the absence of the chair
man, Mr. Gerig will be in general*
charge of railroad activities, and'
probably will be seen frequently in I
Nenana during the remainder of
the winter.
The two officials arrived from the
coast yesterday morning, on the
business car of the Commission, and
returned south !a<t night.
COAST MINE BEING FLOODED
IN EFFORT TO CONTROL FIRE
Arrivals from the coast report
that the Evan Jones coal mine, at
Jonesville, which caught on fire last
Sunday, is being flooded, a fire en
gine having been shipped out to
the mine from Anchorage to sup
ply the water necessary. After the
fire has been extinguished, the mine ;
will be pumped out and prepara- !
tions made to resume mining.
It is impossible at this time to
estimate the amount of damage done
but it is believed the loss will be
rather heavy.
It is claimed by the owners of,
the mine that the fire was caused
by back fire from a shot set off in •
the mine.

FIRST TRAIN CROSSES BRIDGE;
TRANSFER TROUBLES AT END
The completion of the panel
work of the big Tanana river steel
bridge, which will be the second
largest structure of the kind in the
world when completed, enabled a
train to cross to the north side of
the river yesterday, and henceforth,
until the structure is fully completed
next spring, all freight for Fair
banks will be hauled over the bridge
by rail and transferred to the nar
row gauge line at the north ap
proach to the bridge, where yards
have been prepared for the hand
ling of shipments without delay.
By arrangement with the Ameri
can Bridge Company, the Alaska
Railroad will have the use of the
bridge at night, for transfer pur
poses.
Owing to the fact that no trains
will be able to pass over the bridge
during the day, owing to possible in
terference with the construction
work, passengers traveling between
Nenana and Fairbanks will be trans
ferred by team, connecting with the
Fairbanks train at North Nenana
as in the past.
The train which passed over the
bridge yesterday consisted of a car
of steel rails, for use in the yards
on .he north side of the river. The
cars were pulled over by Engineer
Pete Gallagher, in engine No. 272,
which has replaced the “Five Spot”
for the winter.
The bridge paneling stands soldily
on the false tvork, more than 50
feet above the river ice. The sides of
the bridge, or truss, which will be
erected on the pane! work, will rise
to a height of 95 feet, and when
the structure is completed it will
look something like the steel bridge
at Fairbanks, only much larger in
every way.
John H. Kelly, Fairbanks repre
sentative of the old N. C. Co., ar
rived in Nenana yesterday on a brief
business visit. He will return to the
upper town on the next available
train.
