ALASKAN COAST
All the towns along the coast of
Alaska are enjoying good times, ac-;
j cording to Pat King, well-known
former resident of Nenana, who
left for the coast early this season.
. In a letter to Alf Ekeland, which
reached Nenana on the last mail
jfrom Anchorage, King says he vis
ited all the towns along the coast
from Hyder to Cook inlet, and
found them all very prosperous.
Hyder, the new town on Portland
canal, about which much has been
, heard here recently, is just getting
started, King says, and it is his
belief that it will be a great place
next year. There are a considera
ble number of people there now,
. and all are looking forward to much
; mining activity in the near future.
Things at Anchorage, he writes,
are lively, and it is apparent from
. the letter that jobs were plentiful
; at the time he reached town, for
#he had an opportunity to go to
work immediately. “I saw the boss
this morning,” he writes, “and go
to work at once. But I have got
■ into the habit of loafing and can
■ stand it for another week before I
go at it.”
King was a bridge foreman in
the employ of the Alaskan Engi
neering commission in this division.

Lester Earhart, member of the
Mills party, beyond the end of steel
( south of Nenana, was brought to ■
town yesterday afternoon, suffering ]
from a severe injury resulting from j
the kic-k of a horse. Upon arrival I
at the Government hospital, it was
found by Dr. M. E. Smith that one
of Earhart's kidneys had been in
jured to such an extent as to ne- j
cessitate its immediate removal. The !
operation was performed last night,
and today the patient is on the road
to recovery, with the chances,
strongly in favor of an early con- j
valescence, owing to his splendid ’
physical condition.
!
Earhart was placing a pack on |
the horse at the time the accident
occurred. The animal reared and ,
knocked Earhart to the ground and j
then kicked him in the back. Ear- i
hart knew that he wa& hurt, but did '
: not consider the injury serious
! enough to require a trip in to the
hospital, and went through the day
without attention. His condition
was such the following morning,
however, that a speeder was sum
moned from town and the injured
man was rushed to the hospital.

AiTKEN OUTFIT
AT UPPER TOWN
READYTO MOVE
According to advices received
from Fairbanks this noon, the
steamer Shusana and the George
Moody launch were about ready to
leave the upper town for the Kan
tishna, and it was expected that a
start would be made sometime dur
ing the afternoon. The two boats
will have an aggregate cargo of
about 75 tons, most of which is for
the Aitken outfit which is develop
ing the Quigley galena property on
the divide between Eureka and Fri
day creeks. Some of the supplies
are being shipped by Quigley and
Dalton and others.
In addition to the supplies, the j
Shusana will take in a number of.
horses for Ed Bartlett, who has a
contract to do considerable freight
ing for Tom Aitken. The horses
were used by Bartlett during the
past season on Eagle creek, where
he has been developing a hydraulic
proposition.
After delivering the cargo at !
Roosevelt, the steamer will return i
i
to the mouth of the Tolovana river, J
where another cargo will be taken
aboard.
Alois Friedrich, well-known Fair
banks carpenter and quartz miner,
and Harry Biglowe and A1 Ander
son have been employed by Mr.
Aitken and will make the trip in on
the Shusana. The force engaged in
development w’ork during the com
ing winter, on the Aitken proposi
tion, probably will number fifteen
men.
The shaft which was started un
der the direction of Foreman Grant
early in the season, has reached a
depth of 60 feet, and the men are
now engaged in extending one of
the Quigley tunnels, to tap the
shaft for purposes of ventilation.
The results obtained thus far are
highly satisfactory to Mr. Aitken. j
according to statements made by re- j
cent arrivals from the Kantishna. j
and that these statements are cor-1.
rect is evidenced by the fact that
it is the intention of Mr. Aitken j
to prosecute development work or. j
an enlarged scale during the com
ing winter. I
The ore already taken out. and
that to be removed from the ledge
during the winter, will be freighted
to Roosevelt after the snow comes, jl
it is understood, for shipment to <
the States next spring. Reports re- i
ceived in Nenana indicate that the 1
spring shipment is estimated at 700 c
tons, and it may exceed that ]
amount, depending upon results ob- 1
tained during the winter.
It is understood that it is the ,
intention of Mr. Aitken to return to
the Kuskokwim at an eariy date.
