For filling in the space between
the bank and the double row of
piling along the waterfront, saplings
and brush which had been cut from
the acreage tracts around town was
hauled to the waterfront yesterday
by the Commission teams, and this
work will be continued until a
sufficient quantity for the back fill
has been received.
In a few days more, it is ex
pected that the steel gang will ar
rive in town to lay steel across the
river and on the grade beyond
and during such time as they are
engaged in this work, the trains
which had hitherto been hauling
rail, ties and material, will prob
ably be used to haul material for
the back fill on the waterfront. For
this purpose a temporary extension
of the road will be made from the
foot of A street so that the material
needed for the fill can be delivered
where the gang using it is working.
Sid Sheldon is foreman of the men
working on the back fill, and oper
ations were started yesterday.
Just as soon os frost conditions
will permit, gravel will be hauled
to complete the fill and hold down
the buttress of saplings. The A
E ,C. officials figure on using sev
eral carloads of gravel for this pur
pose and expect to get it when the
dragline excavator gets into action
again.
PROSPECT BRIGHT
J. W. Dunn, who arrived in No
mina last night from Ruby, enroute
to Juneau, where he will attend the
territorial legislature as a repre
sentative from the Fourth division,
talkin of the prospects for the min
ing industry in the Ruby district,
took a very optimistic view of the
situation, and gave it as his opinion
that in the season to come the out
put of gold would he greater than
that of the season past.
The district suffered from a
shortage of men due to the draft
and other causes, but he thinks that
nearly all those who went Outside
will return and that Ruby will boon
again.
Mr. Dunn thinks that new pay
streaks will be developed, judging
from the prospects found so far
In the Long district especially
several good prospects have beer
found and he thinks that these wil
be developed anil worked when thi
springtime comes again.
Mr. Dunn will return to Rub)
just as soon as the territorial legis
lature adjourns.

ARRIVE IN TOWN
Driving their own dog teams over
the frozen trails, Messrs J. W
Dunn and Aimer Rydeen, repre
sentatives elect from the Fourth
and Second judicial divisions re
spectively, arrived in Nenana late
yesterday evening, enroute to Ju
neau.
Mr. Rydeen, who is a mining man
1 from the Fairhaven mining district
on the north slope of the Seward
Peninsula, was a long time on the
trail. lie left Candle, the principal
mining camp in the Fairhaven dis
trict, on January 10 th and came
here by way of the mail trail via
Unalakleet and the Yukon river
route.
The influenza did not reach Fair
haven district, owing to the strict
quarantine measures taken, said
Mr. Rydeen, and the drastic meas
ures, although working a hardship
on the inhabitants of the district,
are still in force.
l The mail which left Unalakleet
on November 1 was the last the
people of the district received, and
on account of the strict quarantine
imposed there has been no mail
'allowed in there since. They do
not believe in taking chances on
a proposition like the flu in the
Candle country ,and are perfectly
willing to let such small matters
as the mail and travel slide until
all danger has passed.
As a result of the strict enforce
ment of these precautions, although
the death toll from the epidemic
j was exceptionaly heavy in the
; Seward Peninsula, the Fairhaven
. mining district was absolutely free
j of the disease. Candle, which is
about 204 miles from Nome, has
' telephone communication with that
town, and the people were able to
keep posted on the flu situation.
Mr. Rydeen traversed approxi
mately KOI) miles in making the
trip to Nenana and during the trip
was placed in an isolated cabin at
Unalakleet as a result of the quar
antine established by that town
against the world.
J. W. Dunn, who is an attorney]
at law and postmaster at Ruby, is
also representative elect from the
Fourth division, and is on his way
to Juneau- He left the lower river
town on January 23 for Nenana,
; but had not gotten very far along
1 on his way when he struck bad
weather.
The temperature fell to about
! sixty below anti Mr. Dunn was
forced to put in at the Horner Hot
Springs and there await a break in
the weather. He remained at the
springs three days ere resuming the
trail to Tanana.
The trail from Ruby to Tanana
| is on the river ice except in places
! where short cuts occur in wide
^ sweeps of the river. Mr. Dunn re
, mained two days at Tanana, where
!he met Mr. Rydeen and from that
I nninf turn frgvolnrl in
anmti!) n v
Fine weather was experienced all
the way from Tanana to Nenana,
the average temperature being about
12 below.
Messrs Dunn and Rydeen expect
to take the train leaving for the
end of steel tomorow morning, and
will then take the Broad Pass trail
for Anchorage.

HAD A BREAKDOWN
The Burgess auto which left here
yestreday morning, as- stated in
these columns, had not gone far be
fore the rear axle broke, necessitat
ing the unloading of the baggage
and passengers while the reparis
were made.
During the time spent in putting
in the new axle, Mrs. Tom Gibson
who was one of the Fairbanks bound
passengers, ascertained by phone
that her affairs were being attended
to and that there was no cause for
worry, and she accordingly decided
to finish her visit in Nenana.
Bob Sheldon, who had, in the
first place, given up his place in
favor of Mrs. Gibson, availed him
self of the opportunity offered and
went on to Fairbanks.
The repairs were effected satis
factorily and the auto got away
at about one o’clock.
