~ ! ^Vants to Get Out of the Guarc
™Jj House So That “He Can Kill
A Few Germans.”
•I! The many Nenanaites who re
’s. i
_ member Carl Kahleen, who was fot
_ j several months in the employ of the
j Alaskan Engineering commission at
It 35-Mile, will be interested to hear of
the experience he underwent in his
enlistment in the United States armv.
Carl was in Seattle doing cartoon
ing work for a firm when a few
of his friends decided to enlist, so
he vowed to follow he same course,
j His fondness for horses led him
to choose the cavalry and he sraight
way started for Douglas, Arizona,
where the largest cavalry camp was.
Being only seventeen years old, he
exaggerated his age for the benefit
of the recruiting sergeant and was
accordingly admitted into the army
and given his uniform.
I However, in the course of a few
days his real age leaked out and
he was immediately put in the
„ 1 “clink’ for giving a wrong age and
' not having the consent of his father
for joining the army under the mili
tary age.
While in the guard house, Carl
wrote a very long letter to his father
in Nenana, explaining his predica
ment and stating that while it was
all O. K. to be in the guard house,
the other fellows were drilling every
day and it was interfering with his |
greatest aim in life, which was to j
“get a few Germans anyway.” He1
also hinted that the mail service was !
rather slow in Alaska and suggested
j that his dad telegraph his consent j
, for his enlistment, so that he could !
take his place in the squads again, j
| Mr. Kahleen received the letter a j
few days ago, and after having a J
good laugh over his son’s predica
ment, went over to the telegraph
: office and wired his consent, so that
Carl is by now back in the saddle
again, getting the training that he
needs in order to follow up his hobby
of “getting a few Germans.”

Indications pointing to the fac
that coal, in quantities sufficient t
warrant the mining of it on a larg
scale, may be encountered neare
home than in the known fields ii
the Lignite country, is made appar
ent in a report submitted to tlv
Alaskan Engineering commission b;
i Resident Engineeer George B. Rich
j ardson, in charge of Residency I
| (35-Mile). Mr. Richardson's report
in part, reads as follows:
“In taking out cuts at station:
18078 and 18095 (Bailey’s location]
j outcroppings of coal have been dis
; covered.
“At 18078 there is showing, a
| present, a strata 20 feet long ant
five feet thick, laying in a sand
stone formation. This outcropping
looks to be on the edge of a genuini
coal bed. The coal showing is £
fairly new lignite, but promises tc
get better after getting away froir
| the surface. The vein at 18095 is
possibly an outcropping of the samt
bed, but heavy snow and glacier ac
tion renders it difficult, at present,
to make a thorough investigation.
| “I would recommend that the
coal possibilities of 35-Mile be looked
into by an expert and some develop
ment work done in the near future.”
j The cuts referred to by Mr. Rich
ardson were on a section of the
m right of way under his supervision,
and graded under contract by Messrs.
W. J. Lynn and George Gotto & Co.
The outcroppings of this strata of
coal occur on the face of the t uts,
I and appear to extend deep into the
| ground below the road bed. A prac
tical mining man, acquainted with
coal mining in all its branches, made
I an examination of the veins, shortly
after it became known that coal
had been uncovered in this section
of the country, but owing to the
heavy mantle of snow overlaying the
■ country and the great difficulties
that were sure to be encountered
’ if efforts were made to follow the
pitch of the vein into the hills be
’ yond, the examination was of a sup
erficial and perfunctory nature. He
was of the opinion, however, that
from all indications, the pitch of
the vein extended to the hills be
yond the right of way, and that the
vein would run in an upward in
clined direction until the anticlinal
axis has been reached, when it would
again dip into the earth.
He was also of the opinion that
if some prospecting with a drill was
done, and a considerable portion of
the overhang stripped, that the vein
would be uncovered on the hillside
away from the right of way, and pos
sibly worked to advantage. He
would not, however, commit himself
to a definite opinion as to the qual
ity or quantity of coal that could be
obtained, merely remarking that it
i looked pretty good.
A small quantity of this coal was
1 picked out of the seam showing on
the right of way at station 18075
and was burned in the stoves at the
camp with apparently satisfactory
results; but this cannot, by any
; means, be magnified into anything
| like a real test of the qualities of
: this coal.
The assessment returns of Madison
County, Illinois, a wealthy suburban
county, show there are in that coun
ty 2211 sewing machines, 2359
watches and clocks and 2534 motor
cars.

Report* From Juliu* Creek Indicat
That Fishing Season Is At
Hand.
Julius creek, the mecca of the <le
ciples of Isaac Walton during thi
open season, is reported to be opei
again in the neighborhood of th.
railroad bridge, which fact has beei
noted with a many a thrill of pleas
ure and satisfaction by the angler:
of this district.
Quite a large party of younf
people are planning to leave for thi
scene tomorrow, determined to us(
every known method and device tc
lure the succulent grayling to it’;
doom. Arrangements made for thi
comfort of the anglers would in'
dicate that a prolonged stay at the
scene of operations has been figured
on as a possibility. The slaughter
is expected to be great.
Julius creek crosses the right of
way about five miles south of town
and is spanned by bridge No. 8. It
is a clear stream and is well stocked
with grayling, and during last season
they were taken in large quantity by
anglers from town and the neigh
boring camps.
