ABBEY GETTING
MEN READY FOR
WOIM IN FIELD
The field force of the general
land office, under the supervision of
Mr. Wodbury Abbey, U. S. surveyor
and special disbursing agent, has
been organized for the season, and
preparations are now under way for
taking in hand the w'ork of survey
ing the public lands lying to the
east of Nenana along both sides of
the Tanana river, also the land along
the Goldstream valley. The survey
of the lands along the river will em
brace all lands claimed by settlers
and will extend as far as “Eat em
up” Frank’s roadhouse; while the
survey of the lands of the Gold
j stream valley will commence from
,the point where the surveys termin
ated two years ago and will extend
i on both sides of the right of way
up to the Ohio roadhouse.
Mr. Abbey, who has entire charge
of this work, plans to put two parties
in the field and it is expected that
actual fied operations will be com
menced in a few days. Mr. E. C.
Guerin, U. S. transitman, who ar
rived recently from the Outside, will
assist Mr. Abbey in the work to be
undertaken.
Headquarters have been estab
lished on the waterfront at the foot
of C street, a commodious tent 16
x24 feet having been erected there
to serve the purpose of an office
and storehouse. All of the necessary
equipment and supplies have been
assembled.
Mr. Abbey expects to establish a
camp shortly on the banks of Little
Goldstream, about nine miles from
town on the Fairbanks-Nenana sec
tion of the right of way, on the site
of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission’s old camp 51. It is Mr.
Abbey’s intention to maintain one
camp throughout the season from
which both of the field parties can
operate, moving camp from time to
time for the convenience of the party
Both Mr. Abbey and Mr. Guerin
came into Interior Alaska in con
nection with the public land surveys,
in the spring of 1915, and were en
gaged in surveying the Lignite coal
fields during the summer of the
same year, returning to Nenana in
the fall, when the town consisted
of only a collection of huts and tents
with the Commission’s old warehouse
No. 4 as the most imposing edifice.
Mr. Abbey has been connected
with the public lands surveys in this
district for the past four years, and
all of the surveys south of town, up
to and including the Lignite coal
fields, and of the lands across the ]
river and up to the south bank of
Little Goldstream, were finished un-!
der his supervision.
