FORMER OFFICIAL TELLS
OF CONDITIONS AT EAGLE
Former U. S. Deputy Marshal
John B. Powers, who passed through
Nenana recently enroute to Eagle,
where he will resume his old occu
pation of mining and freighting,
and will also operate his old saw
mill, stated that he was not an
applicant for the position of deputy
marshal under the new administra
1 tion. “Unto the victors belong the
; spoils" is the way he puts it, and
' said he was perfectly satisfied to
i let it go at that.
Mr. Powers purchased several
head of stock from the Alaska Road
Commission and expects to be busy
i freighting lumber from his mill to
;the neighboring mines, and to the
Road Commission in terms of con
1 tracts he has entered into with them.
The sawmill is situated at the
; mouth of McKinley Creek, a trib
utarv of O'Brion Creek, into which
:
| it empties at a point about 32 miles
■ south of the town of Eagle. This
mill has not been operated during
the last four years.
On Dome Creek, approximately 40
j miles south of Eagle, the Dome
Gold Corporation holds a lot of
ground on the creek and its vari
ous tributaries, also on Alder Creek.
This company has been oper
ating for a number of years prior
to last summer, but during the past
season work was done on the right
limit of Dome by the hydraulic
method, with three nozzles and a
crew of about 20 men. Up to last
j year it was a rough standoff with
j the the company, but active pros
pecting recently developed some rich
ground, with fine prospects in sight.
Much encouraged by the amount oi
ground uncovered and the value'
found, the company is planning op
erations on an extensive scale fot
next summer and succeeding sea
sons.
They have contracted with Mr
Powers for 100.000 feet of lumbe!
for flumes and building purpose:.
T
i The lumber is to be delivered at
i different points of the company’s
I holdings, involving a haul of from
! 15 to 25 miles from the mill,
j Other mining interests in the
(Eagle district have also contracted
j for various quantities of lumber, for
i delivery next season, and Mr. Powers
| expects to be very busy. He had a
j force of six men cutting and yard-,
| ing out the logs and will start the
mill just as soon as water runs.
Besides the lumber for the miners
1 he has an agreement to supply the !
Alaska Road Commission with a'
quantity of bridge and other classes ,
of timber. I
Eagle is an incorporated town
with a population of about 85
i whites and 75 Indians, and keeps
' up a good school during nine
months of the year. It is a large
precinct, extending from Charley
I river to the Canadian boundary
and for a considerable distance to
the south, to the boundary of the
Fortymile precinct. There are also
about 100 miners scattered about
the various creeks of the district.
