CURTIS IS WANTED
ON SERIOUS CHARGE
Howard P. Curtis, former general
storekeeper in the employ of the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
with headquarters at N'enana. who is
now enroute to the Outside, will be
placed under arrest upon his arrival
at Tanana this afternoon and re
turned to N'enana to answer to the
charge of embezzlement. The com
plaint was filed at the office of
Commissioner R. S. McDonald late
yesterday afternoon and instructions
wired to the federal authorities at
Tanana to take Curtis into custody
upon his arrival there on the steamer
Seattle No. 3, upon which he sailed
from Nenana on Sunday.
The former storekeeper is charged
NEW COAL VEIN
NEAR RAILROAD
IS DEVELOPING
Robert E. Burns and Associates
Have Promising Deposit South
of Nenana.
News of the opening of a coal
mine on a fairly large scale, with
indications pointing to the further
development of this most important
industry has been received today.
Messrs R. E. Burns and Andrew
Anderson, who have done con
siderable prospecting and research
work with the development of
a good coal mine as the ultimate
object in view, have located on a
vein which would appear to hold
much promise of a practically un
limited supply of lignite coal of a
good merchantable quality.
The exact location of the mine is
said to be on the south side of the
Nenana river, about five and one
half miles bevond the Engineering
Commission’s camp at 43-mile, and
about one thousand feet from the
right of way. At this point the anti
cline of a big vein has been un
covered which is said to be 24 feet
in width, running in a vertical direc
tion and easily traceable for a dis
tance of over a mile into the high
hills beyond.
A tunnel has been driven in the
face of this vertical vein of coal
about twenty feet above the level
of the grade and running into the
vein for a distance of about ninety
feet, the coal thus obtained being
used as a bed for a runway which
may be used later on, when opera
tions on a large scale are under
taken. The penetration obtained in
the tunnel is stated to have carried
the workers well away from the
action of the frost and the coal ob
tained is said to be of a much supe
rior grade to that found for a dis
tance of about thirty feet from the
face of the vein.
Definite plans for th£ further de
velopment of the mine are under
way, but at the present time, par
ticulars of the work to be taken in
hand are not available. A second
tunnel will be driven shortly, run
ning at a lower level than the first
tunnel to permit of the coal being
trapped into dump cars and thereby
materially reducing the cost of pro
duciton and thereby making avail
able for all purposes a large quan
tity of this fuel as cheaply as pos
sible.
Mr. Robert E. Burns states that
they propose to continue the tunnel
for a distance of about two hundred
feet and work four rooms, which he
figures Will make possible a produc
tion of about one hundred tons ot
the best grade lignite coal daily

with the embezzlement of "92
pounds of meat belonging to the
government, the complaint alleging
that the offense was committed dur
ing October, of last year.
The institution of proceedings
against Curtis is the result of the
investigation which has been started
by the federal authorities, and it is
whispered that further developments
of an equally startling character
may be expected in the near future.
Both United States Attorney R. F.
Roth and his assistant. Harry E.
Pratt, are now in Ner.ana and it is
the intention of Mr. Roth to go to
the bottom of local affairs before
concluding his inquiries.
BRIDGE WRECKED
BY HIGH WATER |
OF mjm
News received this morning is to
the effect that bridge 11, spanning
the lower end of Lost Slough near
old camp 10. about twelve miles
out of town, has been rendered un
safe and all traffic on the Govern
ment road will cease at this point.
Before the breakup, the engineer
in charge of this section of the road
anticipating trouble at this point,
had a cribbing put in to strengthen
the banks and prevent erosion and
damage to the bridge from this
cause. When the floods occurred,
this bridge as well as all the other
bridges, trestles and culverts on the
line up to the end of steel had a
close watch kept on them.
The insidious action of the flood
waters would appear to have cut
into the bank behind the cribbing
ci-rtaj wnc Ucilt uf plllllji ai ttlO
north end of the bridge, leaving
the caps and ties on.
The condition of the bridge was
reported to the proper authorities
and as a consequence train service
to points beyond has been suspended
pending repairs to the structure.
