TRAFFIC IS INTERRUPTED
BY NENANA CANYON SLIDE
The train which left Nenana for
! the coast this noon was compelled
to return to town during the after
noon, having been unable to pass
through the Canyon district owing
to slide trouble. The incoming train
j from the coast, due here this after
1 noon, will tie up for the night at
McKinley Park and resume the jour
ney to town tomorrow morning if
the obstruction is removed by that
• time.
At the hour of going to press
the exact location of the slide and
its extent had not been learned at
the depot, but it was thought the
track could be cleared during the
night so that the incoming trair
can arrive here during the earl\
morning.

JUNEAU FISH HATCHERY WILL
BE MOVED TO KETCHIKAN
According to arangements of J.
R. Heckman, vice chairman and
generalisimo of the Territorial Fish
Commission, the operations of that
| organization will he along somewhat
different lines in the future from
what it has been in the past. Mr.
Heckman does not think artificial
propagation of red salmon is feas
ible and for that reason the fish
hatchery which has been maintained
by the Territory at Juneau for the
past nearly four years will be dis
mantled and the equipment moved
to Ketchikan, where fish eggs of
! the variety with which it is planned
; to conduct experiments can be ob
tained more readily than in Jun
eau says The Stroller’s Weekly.
Auk Lake will be protected as a
salmon pasture by fencing out the
trout and assisting salmon over the
' gate when they seek admission to the
! lake. /
Edwin Wentworth has been employ
ed as superintendent of hatcheries.
In addition to the Ketchikan hateh
i erv, a second and similar one will
be maintained in the vicinity of
Cordova. The commission wa>- al
lowed an appropriation of $80,000
for use during the biennium, but
Mr. Heckrnan believes not to ex
i ceed $60,000 will be required.
ATLIN GOLD QUARTZ MINE
SOLD FOR MILLION DOLLARS
; Reports arriving in Skagway re
cently were to the effect that the
Engineer Mine, near Atlin has been
taken over by the Holilnger inter
ests, the price being given as one
million dollars, a substantial part of
which has been paid over in cash.
This property, a free gold quartz
: mine, contains a very high grade
! ore, it being posible to see the
; gold with the naked eye in much
: of the rock as it is taken out of
the drifts in the mining operations.
! A bucket of water dashed against
the roof the drift which is driver
on the vein makes it possible to see
the gold in the quartz, so rich is the
1 rock, says the Skagway Alaskan.
The Engineer mine was located
at the time the White Pass and Yu
kon railroad was being constructed
It derives its name from the fac1
that a small group of railway en
gineers discovered it. As time wen'
on, the mine was re-located bj
another crowd, on the ground tha'
the assessment work required eacl
year, had not been done. The re
locators gained foot possession o:
the property and litigation followec
| The case -was decided by the Bri
; ish privy council last fall, and thi
' property allotted to the re-locators
j On the losing side were Waite
Goodwin, the well known enginee
who was among the original loca
tors; the Brownells, of Seward am
[' the late Harry Whitney Treat o

KETCHIKAN PEOPLE PLEASED
WITH COAL FROM SUNTRANA
The people of Ketchikan are
pleased with the ^results from the
use of the Healy River coal, a trial
shipment of which was recently
received at that place. Speaking of
the coal, the Ketchikan Chronicle
says:
“Tests made by Ketchikan people
show’ that the coal is superior to
that imported from the South for
cookstove purposes. In furnaces it
gives a quicker, hotter fire than 1
does the southern coal, but it w'ill
not last as long. But for household
use, for the housewife to use in
her kitchen, she is sure to get bet
ter results, those who have used it
say.
STEAMSHIP OFFICIAL SAYS
OUTLOOK FOR SEASON GOOD
V. H. Knickerbocker, general
nianager of the Alaska Steamship
Company and the Copper River and
Northwestern Railway upon his re
turn to Seattle Recently from a
trip to Souihwestern and Southeast
ern Alaska expressed the opinion
that he found a very general im
provement in conditions throughout
the territory. He gained this optim
istic view from personal observation
and contact with business men en
gaged in various industries. While
in Juneau says the Alaska Weekly,
Mr. Knickerbocker appeared before
a hearing of a joint committee of
the senate and house that has to
do with transportation matters, in
opposition to Attorney-General Rust
gard. who contends that the steam
ship lines are too high as to freight
and passenger rates.
Speaking of the improving condi
tions in Alaska. Mr. Knickerbocker
said:
“The oytlook for the coming sea
son is excellent in all lines of ac
tivity and industry is looking up.
It has been years since conditions
ar^ so favorable. We are preparing
for a heavy season in both freight
and passengers.”

BASEBALL TONIGHT
In spite of the fact that ball
players are being drafted out of
Nenana as fast as places can be
made for them on the coast end
of the railroad, the outlook for the
coming season looks promising to
local fans, and no time is being
lost in getting the remaining stal
warts together. Quite a number of
the boys were out for practice last
night and it is planned to hold a
big meeting tonight to talk over
the plans for the summer. Everyone
in town who can play or who would
like to play or see others play is
urged to attend the meeting, which
will be held in the fire hall a: eight
o’clock this evening. The meeting
will be open to everyone and it is
hoped a large number will be in at-»
tendance—the more the better for
the game. The time is eight o'clock.
Dr. F. de la Vergne passed thru
Nenana this week enroute to the
Tolovana Indian village to give re
lief to flu victims, and to the Kan
tishna district to investigate the
death of John Henry Bock. He is
making the trip on the Moody
launch and left Tolovana early this
morning for the Kantishna.
William R. Taylor, president of 1
the Mt. McKinley Gold Placers, Inc.
who arrived from the Kantishna
Sunday night, will start on the re
turn trip to that district tomorrow
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Clyde
Collins, and Russell T. Johnson, who
have been in Nenana several weeks
awaiting the opening of navigation.
