BUNKERS BEING
BUILT AT MINE
NEAR CAMP 385
Billy Lynn Will Soon Be Shipping
Coal For Use of the A. E. C.;
Bunker* Being Ejected.
—
W. J. Lynn’s coal mine, situated
just 29 miles south of town and
near the engineering camp at mile
385, is a busy place nowadays, for,
in addition to the men actually min
ing the coal, a small force is busy
erecting bunkers and a loading
platform of tipple against the day
when a train of cars will pull up
along side for a load of coal for
Nenana.
It is expected that in about two
week’s time, the steel will have
reached sufficiently far along the
old location to permit of the taking
in hand of the construction of a
spur track leading to the tipple at
Billy Lynn’s mine. The shaft lead
ing into the mine runs under the
railroad bed and the spur leading
to the tipple will run parallel with
the main line and only a little way
below the grade.
Lynn is under contract to supply
the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion with one thousand tons of coal,
which he will commence sending
into Nenana as soon as the spur
track to his mine has been com
pleted. A track to accommodate
the coal cars in the Nenana yards
has been put in and in a short time
more a stijing of coal cars rumbling
into the Nenana yards will be no
unusual sight.
If the coal supplied by Lynn is
found suitable for use by the Com
mission in their power plant and on
the locomotives, the quantity con
tracted for will probably be greatly
increased. An exhaustive test, how
ever, will be made as soon as a
sufficient quantity for the purpose
is received in town. The tests will
be made, as outlined before in these
columns, in the two boilers at the
power plant. One of the boilers
will be fed with measured quantities
of wood and the other with weighed
quantity of coal for a period of
ten days, and a comparison made at
the end of that period, of the rela
tive values of each class of fuel; and
should the coal come up to ex
pectations, as it is thought it will,
the Commission will use this coal
exclusively.
It is also highly probable that
Nenanaites will have an opportunity
to use lignite eoal from Lynn’s
mine this winter. Mr. Browne, en
gineer in charge, told a News rep
resentative that after Lynn had
fulfilled his contract with the
A. E. C., a freight rate on his coal
w;ill be named that will make it
possible for him to compete success
fully with the wood, provided he
cared to go into the business of
meeting the local demand for fuel.
Lignite coal has been in genera',
use for some time past in the dis
tant camps of the A. E. C., the 43
mile and Lignite roadhouses and
among the prospectors and trappers
in the Lignite and Healy river
countries, and has given great satis
faction. Some time ago a small
shipment of it was brought to Ne
nana and distributed among some
of the families, who all agree that
this fuel is much better than wood
in every possible way. The lignite
coal was burned in ordinary cook
stoves and heaters without grates,
and it is thought that if the stoves
are fitted with grates the results
obtained will be a great deal better.

GILCHER MU HOME
BY WAY OF RIVER TRAIL!
William H. Gilcher, who went up
to Fairbanks about a week ago on i
business in connection with his con
tract with the Alaskan Engineering'
: commission for the lining of the
i
new engine house, returned to Ne-'
1 nana this morning overland.
Mr. Gilcher intended to return j
before conditions on the river made
navigation impossible, but was de
layed longer than he anticipated,
and was consequently compelled to
hit the trail. He decided to follow
the telegraph line along the river
and started from the upper town
last Sunday morning.
The going was pretty heavy, he
says, and he was not able to make
good time. He arrived at Lescure’s1
homestead yesterday evening, and,
authough there seemed to be a,
pretty fair ice bridge across the
river in the neigborhood of the
mission, he did not care to tackle
it in the dark, and accordingly spent
the night at Lescure’s crossing over
in a boat this morning.
Frank Young, Sr., who is ill at
St. Joseph’s hospital, is reported to
be slowly gaining strength. i
