MINERS PREPARE
TO WORK CLAIMS
in totatlanika
Mining Operations Will Soon Be In
Full Swing In the Totatlanika
Country.
Report* reecived from the Totat
lanika country indicate that the
miners of the district are preparing
to commence operations as soon as j
weather and other conditions will
warrant such a move.
On Eva creek. Montan & Johnson,
who are interested in th Liberty
Bell mine, are preparing to open
placer diggings, while above them,
on Eva creek, Neil McCall & Quinn
will soon commence operations on
what is said to be a promising quartz
ledge.
The operations of these men
would appear to be considerably de
layed owing to the fact that the
deep snows of last winter still en
cumbers the ground in the imme
diate neighborhood of the proposed
diggings.
A party of five Russians, who were
prospecting over on the main Totat
lanika, are reported to have found
good prospects and are also pre
paring to sluice as soon as condi
tions will permit.
All the creeks tributary to the
Totatlanika are reported to be
heavily glaciersd, burying last sea
son’s diggings under the ice to a
considerable depth.

GOLD MINING
IN KANTISHNA
WILL BE LIGHT
_
Commissioner V»n O-sdel Think* ^
Little Mining Will Be Done
This Seaton.
In the opinion of J. C. Van Orsdel
commissioner for the Kantishna
country, only about half of the
usual mining undertaken in the
Kantishna will be done this season.
No snow, to amount to anything,
fell in the district until late in Feb
ruary, and as a consequence, enor- j
mouse glaciers formed throughout ■
the mining district, effectually pre-'
venting the undertaking of any sort j
of mining operations, and it is j
thought that some of these glaciers
will remain all summer.
. As an illustration of the heavy j
glacial action experienced in the |
country as a result of the late snow- j
fall, Mr. Van Orsdel states that at
Glacier creek a glacier had crept
up to the sill of a cabin built at
an elevation of 40 feet above creek
level, and that several log cabins,
caches and tents situated on the
creek claims and which serve as a
summer camp for the miners oper
ating their claims, have been com
pletely submerged by the glacial
action.
The fur catch for the season is
also said to be very poor and much
below the average.
Red Cross Ladies Meet to Furthe
Aims of the Patriotic
Organization.
A largely attended meeting of the
local Red Cross branch, under the
presidency of Mrs. J. R. Bowen, was
held at the N'enana club rooms yes
terday afternoon.
It was decided at the meeting to
forward the Red Cross cake which
had been won by Mr. L. P. Shoe
maker and returned for the good if
the cause, to Fairbanks with a re
quest that it be raffled on the 21st
of June during the celebration of
the festival of the Midnight Sun.
A suitable box for the forwarding
of the cake to Fairbanks will be
donated by Superintendent of Con
struction W. L. Packer. The cake
will again be returned to N'enana
in time to be raffled here during
the Fourth of July celebration.
These patriotic ladies have also

FOR YARN FUND
COMING [VENT
Mr*. Kelllum Will Be In Charge
of Next Serie* of Card Partie*
for Yarn Fund.
At a meeting of the Red Cross
committee held at the Nenana club
rooms yesterday, Mrs. J. C. Kellum
was apointed to take charge of the
next series of card parties to be
given in aid of the Red Cross Yarn
fund.
Mrs. Kellum enjoys the distinc
tion of being one of the most suc
cessful exponents of the game of
bridge in Fairbanks and has also on
occasion demonstrated her ability to
get away with the prize at bridge
parties held in Nenana, and it is
felt that the work of getting up
these card parties is in competent
hands.
No definite arrangements have,
as yet, been made, and Mrs. Kellum
states that she will announce the
program arranged later on.
Only a slacker could stand idly
on the sidewalk and criticize as the
army of workers marches by.

FROM FAIRBANKS
WITH BIG CARGO
Steamer Putt Into Port At Midnight
With Bargeload of Freight and
Some Pattengers.
Shortly after midnight last night, 1
the steamer Shusana, under com
mand of Captain Smythe, with Oscar
Webber as first officer, arrived from
Fairbanks and way points, pushing
a bargeload of freight for N'enana.
The freight was consigned to A1
Eckland, Simson’s, Tavern cafe,
Wm. Gilcher, Fowler & Morris and
the A. E. Commission. She also
had six passengers for this place,
among whom were Mr. and Mrs.
Lipman Simson and son.
After discharging her freight she!
will move alongside the Commission
dock and take on a load of 80 tons
of rails and construction materials i
which will be discharged at Chena I
for use on the Fairbanks-Nenana
line of the Government railroad.
Captain Smythe expects to get
away on the upriver journey to
morrow.
Hoover has summed up the situa
tion in these words: The time has
come for sacrifice.” Can we refuse
to see the truth much longer.
