FROM TALKEEINA
Charles Trundy, who had been
engaged in the freight and pass
enger business between the ends of
steel on the' government railroad,
returned to town yesterday after
noon. He had latterly been engaged
in freighting supplies from the
Xenana Crossing to the Jack river
roadhouse for the new owners of
that hostelry, and after delivering
his last load, continued on to Tal
keetna.
He reports that the trail from
Lignite to Talkeetna is in splendid
shape and like a boulevard; some
places, he says, were rather bare
of snow, but not to anv very great
extent. He likened the trail to the
streets in town.
Trundy left Talkeetna on Febru
ary 24th, and the journey to Lignite
was made in very leisurely fashion.
He had no passengers or freight,
and had plenty of time at his dis
posal.
He says that all the roadhouse
keepers along the trail are building
dog kennels, enlarging and improv
ing the existing accommodations
and putting in a fresh stock of sup
plies and dog feed against the
travel which is expected from now
on and until the breakup. Many
people are reported to be on their
way in to the Interior, and others
expect to leave the States shortly
for Alaska. Most of them are said
to be planning on coming in over
the new trail.
He reports having met Mike
Cooney with Miss Jane Anderson
at the Indian river roadhouse Mike
said that he would wait at Tal
kettna for the passengers from
the steamer Alameda, which was
expected at Seward in a day or two.
He also met Calhoun with Howard
Wilson on the 25th, between Indian
river and Sullivan’s roadhouses.
Some of the roadhouse men will
be in Men ana in a few days for
! supplies, he says. All of the road
houses from and including the Sum
mit towards Xenana, draw their
, supplies from Xenana. Mr. Larson,
who is proprietor of the Summit
roadhouse, is now on his way to
Xenana and will probably arrive
this evening.
Trundy says that there is con
siderable prospecting going on in
the hills and valleys adjacent to the
government railroad right of way,
notably in the Broad Pass and the
Xenana Canyon districts, and he
met several propectors. George Mar
tin, of Xenana and his partnei
are prospecting in the Cantwell
regon about 9 miles above the Jack
river roadhouse, where he met them
on his way in.
