J. H. Steel, who left the employ
of the Alaskan Engineering com- j
mission last summer to go to the >]
States, has arrived at the end of f
steel on his way back 'to Nenana. j

The T. &. T. gang which is work
ing toward Healy from the coast,
has reached Riley creek, being now
at Camp 347. j t

Jack Smith and associates have
taken a wood contract.
Lineman Dudney and his gang,
working south from Healy, are at
the Canyon roadhouse.
Bob Wilson took the Cooney auto f
the trail as far as the Canyon road
house yesterday and experienced no
difficulty on the trip. He had Cecil ^
H. Clegg and M. J. Cooney as pass
engers, the former being headed for
Washington, D. C., and the latter,.
for the coast. J
Two dinkey engines, for use in j
grading operations, are being moved j
out the line from Healy, twelve;
horses being used to haul the un- j
weildly loads. The engines are to be
used on the grade near Mile 347.
Mike Dunn and his tracklaying
gang are to be transferred to the
Fairbanks line as soon as the main
line extension has been put in good
shape for traffic. There are a lot
of ties and other material to be
moved on the north side of the
Tanana.

Eddie Miller, whose barber shop j
at Healy was wrecked by fire several j

night's train.
SCOTT SAYS CONDITIONS
ARE BAD IN THE STATES
Walter F. Scott, former member
’ of the local office force of the A. Y.
X. company,, who went Outside dur- i
ing the early part of the winter, was
a returning passenger on last night's
train from the end of steel, and he j
says he is mighty glad to get back. ;
Conditions on the Pacific coast, he
says, are fully as bad as they have •
been pictured, with unemployment!
increasing at an alarming rate, and '
prices still high in many localities, j
especially in California.
Mr. Scott was in San Francisco1
during the time that the alleged
gangsters were on trial for alleged
assaults on girls on Howard street,
and the impression prevailed there at
that time that the men vir > >eing
railroaded, in what appeared to be
an effort on the part of the author
ities to satisfy' the demands of re
formers.
Mr. Scott saw many oldtimers in
Seattle and elsewhere along the
coast who were talking of returning
1 to Alaska and he predicts that there
will be quite a rush during the
spring and early summer. He walked
over the trail, between steel, and
caught the train at Healy for Ne
nana.
Herman Anderson is in receipt of
a message from his daughter Valen
tine in which she states that her
sister Mildred reached Honolulu on
February 9, having had a delightful
trip across the Pacific to the islands.
The wire does not mention Miss
Luella Shaffer, but it i3 presumed
that she sailed on the seme steamer,
as the two girls had planned to
make the voyage together from San
Francisco.

Will Steel, brother of ffarry G.

'imes, recently arrived in Juneau
rom Seattle to take charge of Chas.

n newspaper work in Dawson in the
arly Klondike days.
John W. Troy, collector of cus
jms and principal owner of the

;ctor expires. The plant is the best j

The successful liquidation of the
iffairs of the defunct Scandinavian
tmerican bank, of Tacoma, which
'ailed recently, is said to depend
argely upon the ability of Jafet .
rindeberg, pioneer Nome mining I
nan, to pay the money he owes the !
nstitution. A number of the offi-;
:ials of the bank are former Alask- ,
ins. The direct cause of the failure j
s said to have been an attempt of
he bank to erect a costly new bank ;
juilding on short money. |
Operating losses of the Alaska
Packers association for 1920 were
5757,659.25, but the concern had
net earnings from the insurant's
fund of $400,659.61 and paid a
dividend of $30 a share.
The Yukon Gold company has
3,000 tons of sacked ore at Mayo
ready for shipment to the smelter
when navigation opens in the spring.
The ore will be taken down the river
to St. Michael in specially built
barges, towed by river steamers.
An American flag that flew from
the masthead of an army transport
on the waterways of France during
the war, has been added to the col
lection of exhibits of the Alaska
museum at Juneau. The flag was
presented to Governor Riggs by
Lieut. Francis Rotch. formerly of
Nenana.
CHECHACOS ARE WARNED
OF KUSKOKWIM CONDITIONS
Territorial Mine Inspector B. D.
Stewart has issued warnings for the
benefit of prospectors from the Out
side who are planning: a stampede
to the Kuskokwim district on the
strength of the flowing reports of
“finds” in that region. The inspector
says the gold fields of the Kusko
kwim will require the expenditure
of both time and money before
mines can be put on a paying asis
and his advice to chechacos is that
no one should go into the district
unless he can provide himself with
an outfit and make himself com
•pletely independent of outside work.
The inspector says that reports of
quartz discoveries in the Kuskokwim
valley have not been exaggerated.

iCOL. STEESE IS RETIRED;
RESTORED TO ACTIVE LIST
Announcement was recently made
at Juneau of the retirement of Col.
! James Gordon Steese from active
■duty in the regular army and of
i his immediate reassignment to active
j duty as president of the Alaska
i Road commission, which position he
!has held since last June.
| Col. Steese, who was ordered to
| report at Washington last November
j appeared before a retirement board
i for examination at San Francisco,
on his way East, the examination re
■ suiting in his being placed on the
) retired list on account of an old dis
! ability which, however, in no j
.wav effects his ability for his pres-i
.
ent service.
Col. Steese expects to leave Wash-]
ing ton for his headquarters at Jun- j
; eau about February 20. He will re- j
: main in Seattle about a week and j
; should reach there March 1. He
was called to Washington in connec
tion with the presentation of the
Alaska Road commission’s request
for increased road appropriations
for Alaska.
The colonel will start for the In- j
'terior shortly after the opening of j
navigation and will be met on th“
lower Yukon by Major Gotwals, and
together they will make a trip into
the Kuskokwim district to look over
the road work in progress in that
region.
NEILL AWARDED DECISION
IN SUIT OVER HYDER MINE
Suit tor an accounting of a quar
ter interest in the Premier mine,
in the Portland canal district, insti
tuted by Maurice Bacon against R
E. K. Neill, was decided recently
at Spokane in favor of Neill, in an
opinion filed by Federal Judge Rud
kin.
The suit was based on an alleged
partnership agreement and the quar
ter interest was estimated by the
plaintiff, a mining engineer, to be
valued at $2,500,000, and by the
defendant at $250,000.
The opinion was a lengthy one
and featured the statement that in
two cases the plaintiff. Bacon, had
influenced witnesses and had lack
ed good faith in not bringing the
suit in 1917 when he first knew
of Neill’s operations, but waited
until December, when the mine had
proved to be of worth.
