RED CROSS LADIES’
ENTERTAINMENT IS
APPRECIATED BY BOYS
The following letter, which speaks
for itself, was received by Mrs.
J. R. Bowen, chairman of the local
Red Cross branch.
Nenana, September 10, 1918.
“Mrs. J. R. Bowen, Chairman of
the Nenana Branch of the Red
Cross:
“Dear Madam:—In a few lines
through you, I desire to express to
the ladies of the Red Cross, as well
as to the rest of our citizens my
hearty appreciation for the honor
| given to us last night at Grace
church. And in return for your
j kind hospitality on behalf of myself
; and my fellow comrades, I wish to
confess to you that our set determ
ination is to go forth and fight to
! win this war, so we pledge ourselves
to execute our duty as true and
faithful American citizens, and God
help us we will not be back among
you before we have accomplished
that for which we are sent—to se
cure freedom of humanity
“ ‘Democracy and liberty shall
reign over autocracy and tyranny for
ever’ is our motto. Do the best ycu
can at home, and be assured that
we will do the rest to bring victory
home.
“Bidding you all good-bye,
“WM. PAPADOPULOS.”

According to a recent arrival
from Fairbanks who had been in the ;
Tolovana country for the past year'
and a half, the district is quiet and i
there is not much activity in the
mining industry. The draft has hit
the district hard and this, coupled
with the many voluntary enlist
ments and those going Outside as
usual, has left the district almost
entirely depleted of its population.
It is estimated that there are about
150 to 200 people in the district
| now, many of whom are figuring
j on going Outside this fall.
The outlook for the mining out
i put, however, seems to be bright
j and it is expected that the output
| of the camp for this season will
I equal that of last season and per
i haps exceed it a little.
! On Amy creek Kelly & Colbert
: are working about 15 men; Soini
& Co. about 10 men; H. I. Miller
about 10 to 12 men and another
small plant working about 3 men.
Lynch & Verdi and George Wheel
i er are working 4 or 5 men each on
Olive creek, while on Ruth. Frank
Miller, formerly deputy marshal, was
i working a small crew. There were
three plants working on Lillian
creek, viz Ben Falls, Dan McCarty
and Joe Moran, and Johansen & Co.
I Small crews from the miners in
terested in this section of the coun
try were putting in a ditch to tap
Livengood near 6 above.
There has been a shortage of
water in the district which held back
mining activities to a considerable
extent and retarded the cleanup of
several dumps.
On the Lovelace claim on Liven
good, Ernest Peterson was working
quite a large crew of men and was
reported to be doing well,
i Craig & Fontas, working two lays
on the same claim, had a crew of
about seventy men working for
them. These men and Ernest Peter
son had the largest outfits working
in the district.
“Alabam” Leboyteau, working a
claim toward the head of Livengood,
did not do as well as he expected
to during the opening months of the
season, but is reported to have
struck fairly good pay last month
Jack Nelson on Amy creek, is
open cutting with a small crew. He
is said to have pretty good pay.
Several other small outfits are
operating on Livengood and taking
out some pay.
There is some desultory prospect
ing goin on in the district but ow
ing to the cost of materials and pro
visions, nothing on a big scale is
being done.
The roadhouse at Tolovana
Crossing, about thirteen miles from
Brooks, which was run by Miss
Swanson, was sold recently to Char
ley Wubberhorst. the former part
ner of Jack Singleton, of the Lignite
roadhouse.
VETERAN COWBOY VERY
ACTIVE AT 91 YEARS
i OCATA, N. M.—Matt Crosby, of
this place is the oldest cowboy in
active service in the United States.
Recently he celebrated his ninety
first birthday by breaking a young
horse just off the range, and fol
lowed this up by roping and tying
a 3-year-old steer in a little over
four minutes.
Mr. Crosby is well known to
the oldtimers from the Mexican
border to the Colorado line. He has
ridden the range for sixty years in
New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
He performed valuable service dur
ing the Indian wars by acting as
guide for soldiers, as he knew all
the trails; is an expert shot with
revolver and rifle and has hun*«d
big game over most of the South
west.

EHLEN REACHES
CHASE TOWN BY
IDE PASS TRAIL
I
ANCHORAGE—Seventeen days j
were required to travel by trail, ‘
river and railroad from Nenana to
Anchorage, a distance of about 2i)o
miles. The trip was made by
Henry Ehlen, formerly in charge of
the docks and warehouses of the
government railroad at Nenana; M.
Hyland, a government railroad train
conductor, and C. T. Ens.ley, a pros
pector from the Tolovana district.
From Nenana to Indian river, a i
distance of 130 miles, the travelers!
took the summer trail. At Indian
river, they built a raft and on it
floated down the Susitna river to
Montana, a distance of seventy miles.
At Montana, which is the northern
end of steel in the Anchorage divi
sion, they boarded a government
railroad train and came to Anchor
age, a distance of ninety-six miles.
Mr. Ehlen says that the summer
trail between Nenana and Indian
river is, fairly good but that it needs
blazing in places. With a com
paratively little expenditure, he de
clares, it coulij be put in excellent
condition. All the winter trail road
houses were closed. The party saw
no persons after leaving Lignite
creek, which is only a short dis
tance from Nenana, until Indian
river was reached. The travelers
were fortunate in finding the water
low in all streams and experienced
no difficulty in crossing them.
AMERICAN OFFICERS
IN ENGLAND WALK
With the American Army in Eng
land.—American officers stationed
temporarily in England must make
most of their sightseeing trips be
yond the lines of their camps on
foot.
The temptation of officers and
men \o visit historic and interesting
places near the camps is great, but
the scarcity of motor equipment and
the restrictions regarding railway
travel make short jaunts impossible.
American soldiers of the provost
guard are at every railway station
where there is a camp, with instruc
tions to ask every soldier whether
he be commissioned or not, if he
has the necessary permission to
travel.
