Commission Getting Ready to Con
nect Tanana River With Upper
Town.
I A step forward in the construe
tion of the railroad between Fair
banks and Nenana was marked on
i the 6th instant, when Camp 102 was
moved a few miles toward Nenana
; This camp, which is under the super
.vision of Mr. Hawley W. Sterling
is now situated at a point on the
, right of way about five miles north
. of the Ohio roadhouse, and is com
posed of a total force of twentj
men, with three teams and the nec
’ essary equipment. The force in
eludes big Tom Blaylock’s piledrivei
1 crew, who are now busily engagei
j in driving piles for the 59th bridge
| on the new line, which begins al
Happy station.
J Although no definite plans of the
work to be undertaken on this pari
of the government railroad, are, at
present, available for publication, al
of the preparations now under waj
would indicate that operations ol
some magnitude will be inaugurates
for the coming season, and will be
put into effect just as sooon as pari
of the heavy coat of snow that now
overlays everything, has melted
away.
Wolfgang Thiele has been award
ed a contract for the building oi
a warehouse one mile above the
Joyce Lake or Dunbar’s roadhouse
another warehouse or cache is alst
contemplated, at some convenienl
j spot farther along the line towards
jFairabnks; possibly at Bartlett’s
.[camp, a few miles distant in a nor
I. therly direction, from the Ohio road
i, house,and close to the present loca
tion of camp 102. Construction ma
; | terial and supplies of all kinds will
be sent to these places as soon as
; possible, and, the engineering anc
; construction camps to be established
along the line later on will draw
their supplies from time to time as
: needed from these warehouses.
It would be safe to predict thal
| a trip to Fairbanks via Uncle Sam’s
“Iron Trail” would be among the
possibilities next winter with all the
added advantages of regular and un
interrupted mail service and the
manifold other minor advantages
that accrue thereby.
PAY
Property Adjoining Famous Cleve
land & Howell Lay to Be Active
This Year.
Arrivals from the Hot Springs
district are authority for the state
ment that Woodchopper will be the
scene of considerable mining activity
this summer, it being the intention
of at least one outfit to work on a
large scale. Good pay has been
uncovered by Fred Jorgenson on the
Bock ground, adjoining the famous
Cleveland & Howell lay, and a crew
of six men is now engaged in open
ing up the property preparatory to
the commencement of summer oper
ations.
I Jorgenson and Cecil H. Clegg, the
; Fairbanks attorney have a lease or
| the ground in question. Jorgenson
is now in charge, but it is the in
tention of the other partner to move
down to Woodchopper as soon as
cuort business in Fairbanks will per
mit, and to devote his entire time
to mining. He and Mrs. Clegg wil
take up their residence on Wood
chopper for the summer.
The working shaft is 186 feet deej
and considerabel tunnel work ha:
been done during the winter. Thi
pay runs as high as $2.50 to tht
foot of bedrock and there is a suffi
cient body of the good dirt to in
sure a substantial margin of profi
after deducting the high cost of pro
visions and other mining supplies.
Jorgenson is an oldtimer in th<
Hot Springs district. He secure<
the Cleveland & Howell lay, whicl
he sold to that firm for $5,000 am
which afterwards produced nearly ;
million dollars.
Whether or not the firm of Cleve
land & Howell will mine extensivel;
in the Hot Springs district this sum
mer had not bee decided at the tim
Mrs. Cleveland left Nenana for th
lower river camp. She expected t
have a conference with Sylveste
Howell soon after her arrival a
Hot Springs and she considered
probable that a program of worl
would be outilned at that time. Mud
would depend, however, she stated
upon labor conditions and the cos
of supplies. Under favorable min
ing conditions, considerable wor
doubtless will be done by them.
IURY FINOS GOOD
ENDED OWN LIE!
The jury summoned to inquire in
to the death of Casper Good whos
body was found on the trail abov
Wood river last week, returned
verdict of suicide following the in
quest held at the office of Com
missioner R. S. McDonald this aftei
noon at 2:30.
The body has been turned over t
the undertaker for burial and inter
ment will be made within the nex
day or two. Mathew King has bee
appointed administrator of the estat
of the dead man, consisting of th
sum of $200, which was found o
the body, part of which was in tw
government checks.
The verdict of the jury follows:
We, your jury, duly empanele
and sworn to inquire into the caus
of death of Casper Good, of Fair
banks, find that he came to h
death at a point about "SVz mile
from the main Wood river-Fairbanl
trail, he having apparently lost hin
self during a storm while on his wa;
to Fairbanks. His death was cause
by self-imposed wounds in his throa
same having been caused or ir
flicted with a sharp instrument, pr
sumably a razor found alongsid
the body. We further find that th
deceased killed himself about tl
31st day of March and that no othe
person is guilty of a crime in cor
nection therewith.
