10 BE RESUMED
Alick Kalisoff & Co., the con
tracting firm which was engaged in
filling in the gap in the railroad
right of way near Lignite, have
1 completed the work and the mem
bers of the contracting firm ar
rived in town last night.
The steel gang will probably
leave for the end of steel on Sat
urday morning, to resume the work
!of extending the road to the coal
fields. The men are now engaged
in laying steel on the Y across the
river and for some distance up the1
Nenana-Fairbanks right of way, and
it is expected that this work will
be completed by Saturday.
Foreman Blakey will strengthen
his force by adding several new
men to it before going out the line
on Saturday morning, and every
effort will be made to reach the
coal fields in the quickest possible
time.
Steel will be laid with the aid of
the side rollers on flat cars, and
it is expected that the Burns mine,!
which is only a few miles beyond
the end of steel, will be reached
in about a week’s time from the
date of the resumption of track!
laying operations.
The end of steel at present is'
at station No. 17GoO, and when the
steel has been laid up to station
No. 17440, a spur track for ap
proximately 1000 feet, will be run
out to the Burns coal mine. The1
grade for the spur track has al
ready been completed.
A large bunker, to contain about
300 tons of coal, has been con
structed and all of the necessary i
appliances for loading the coal on!
the cars has been arranged for.
It is expected that several carloads
of coal will be hauled into town
daily until the quantity contracted
for with R. E. Burns & Co. has
been I ~ "ght to town.
Superintendent Packer announces
that passes will not be honored on
the excursion train which is sched
uled to leave Nenana on Saturday
night, and those who have business
to attend to at any point on the
line and who wish to go out on
that train, will have to provide
thc/nselves with tickets.
The train is being run solely for
the accommodation and comfort of
the excursionists, and as the accom
modations will of necessity be
limited, it has been decided not to
honor the passes held by railroad
employes. j
On the return trip, however, a
limited number of holders of passes
may be accommodated.
MISS CREAMER IS
VISITING NENANA!
Miss Marion Creamer, one of the'
most popular young ladies of Fair-1
banks, arrived in Nenana yester-1
day evening on Billy Butler’s dog j
stage on a brief visit to Nenana.'
This is Miss Creamer’s first visit i
to Nenana since railroad operations
were begun and she s now getting |
acquainted with the town and its
various institutions.
The journey from the upper town
to Nenana was begun yesterday
morning, a brief stop for dinner
at “Eat-em-up” Frank’s place being
made at noon; the journey being
finished at about six o’clock* last
evening.
A long dog sled ride is a matter
of small consequence to Miss
Creamer, who is a real daughter of
the Golden North and, as such, is
inured to the hardships of the trails.
Miss Creamer is office deputy
and stenographer in the marshal’s
office in Fairbanks, and expects to
go back to her duties in a few
