Dry weather has brought relief
to the grading contractors on the
Nenana-Fairbanks line and the work
in that direction is now progressing
rapidly, insuring uninterrupted prog
ress in the extension of steel toward
Fairbanks.
Knut Koland, who had a big
contract six miles north of the
river, arrived in town last evening,
having finished his work yesterday
noon. He has not broken camp
yet, but the last of the dirt has
been moved and he is ready to begin
work on a new contract.
Koland had three-quarters of a
mile of grade to construct, and for
a time he used 15 horses in connec
tion with the work. Toward the ^
end of the contract, however, his;
stock was reduced to eight head,
with which he finished the grade.
N'o new grading work is in prog
ress at the present time, but it is j
expected that a number of contracts ,
will be let soon on the Mills loca- j
tion beyond the end of steel south
of Nenana. Bids are in for the
clearing of a considerable stretch of
right-of-way, and the contract for j
that work may be let today. The
grading will start as soon as possi
ble thereafter, possibly within a
week or two.
A number of the grading con
tractors who worked on the Nenana
Fairbanks line will try to get con
tracts south of town.

MIJO LEDGES
Thomas G. McDonald, mining en
gineering representative of the
Treadwell company, who arrived in
Interior Alaska about the middle of
last month, from the upper Yukon,
and who came fo Nenana from Fair
banks two days ago to look at some
hard rock properties to the south of
town, returned to Fairbanks last
night on the Moody launch, which
brought him down river. The en
gineer was accompanied on the trip
out the line by Teddy Gleason, who
is interested in considerable prop
erty- south of Nenana.
• _ !
Neither the purpose of the trip
nor the conclusions arrived at would
be disclosed by Mr. McDonald. He
says his business is confined to the
inspection of properties and to the
gathering of such information as
may be of use to the Treadwell peo
ple. He leaves it to Mr. Bradley to
do the talking for the company.
Mr. McDonald will .be joined early
next week by F. W. Bradley, head
of the company, who is now on the
way down from Dawson, and it is
possible that they will make an in
spection of properties together.

FIRST AUTO GOES |
10 THE TOLOVANA
The first automobile for use in
the Tolovana district was shipped
from Fairbanks yesterday on the
steamer Carl White for the Gustaf
son mercantile establishment of
Brooks. The machine is a narrow
gauge Ford, which was sold some
time ago to the Tolovana merchant
by Robert E. Sheldon, and will be
used for delivering goods to claim
owners along the new Livengood
road, and possibly for an occasional
visit to Fairbanks before the freeze
up, or to Nenana by way of the
winter trail.
The Livengood wagon road, which
was recently completed under the
direction of Territorial Road Com
missioner Sheldon, is said to be in
excellent condition for traffic of all
kinds, but automobiling between
Brooks and other towns is possible
only under the most favorable con
ditions. Sheldon made one round
trip between Fairbanks and Brooks
with an auto, by way of the Olnes
trail, and, while he did not encoun
ter any serious obstacles, he says he
would not recommend the route to
autoists. The Happy trail, the only
other overland outlet to the dis
trict, is too swampy for summer
traffic, but it presents no difficulties
for winter travel, excepting occasion
al drifting.

ant legislation.

MORE HOSE ORDERED
FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS
Five hundred feet of new fire
hose has been ordered for the Xe
nana fire department, and will ar
rive on an early boat. The hose is
much needed, according to Townsite
Manager Carl Schmidt, who says
that the recent fire in the Nicley
building demonstrated the need of
additional lengths. There was enough
for the Nicley fire, but none re
mained in the fire hall for emer
gency use.
Had the Nicley fire occurred in
cold weather, Mr. Schmidt points
out, the need of dry hose in case
of a second fire would have been
very urgent, since the use of wet
hose in cold weather is extremely
hazardous.
The additional 500 feet will in
sure an adequate supply of hose at
ail times, insuring better ^fire pro
tection and increasing the life of
the hose.
The first shipment of ore from
the gymsum mine of the Pacific
Coast Gypsum company for treat
ment at Tacoma left Gypsum on
July 7, according to General Man
ager Mosier, who was in Juneau
recently after additional mine la
bor. The shipment was made from
the 160-foot level, where the miners
have been at work for some weeks.
According to Manager Mosier, the
miners are now on the 300-foot
level, where the ore is being stoped
ready for extraction. He believes
with available transportation facili
ties that the property will be able
to send regular shipments not only
to Tacoma, but to Vancouver as
well. The company has a manufac
turing plant at both places, and
there is now a steady and growing
demand for gypsum ore both in the
United States and Canada.

SMALL MONTE CARLO
EXISTS NEAR PARIS
PARIS.—It may not be generally
known that Paris has its own little
Monte Carlo, a few miles from its
gates, with a beautiful casino, where
roulette and other gambling games
may be played, and containing a
club (without any intricacies of elec
tion! where baccarat and its like
may be indulged in. Its name is
Enghien-les-Bains, the baths and
mineral waters of the little town
being of medical value sufficient to
cover the casino as a necessity for
its visitors.
The dangers of a gambling center
at the very gates of Paris led the
chamber of deputies to vote in 1913
that no casino should be allowed
iwithin 60 miles of the capital. The
• bill was still before the senate when
the war began and Enghien’s casino
; became a hospital. It is to be
i brought up for discussion again
'soon.
