SOUTH OF M
NEARING HE
The men of the steel gang, under
Foreman Thomas K. Blakey, had
reached Station No. 18398 with the
steel last night, which means that
a trifle over sixteen miles of the
D line has been completed. There
remains but little over four miles
more before the old grade near the
30-mile roadhouse is reached, and
it is expected that, at the rate Tom
Blakey’s men are now going, this
distance will be covered in a few
days. It has been possible, recently
to add about fifteen men to the
steel gang, which has thereby con
siderably increased the efficiency of
this force. The Alaskan Engineer
ing commission could use many
more men and there is no reason
why any man need be idle in Ne
nana.
The addition to the gang under
Mr. Blakey was made possible by
; reason of the fact that the grading
contractors who have completed
, their contracts are seeking employ
; ment and there have also been a
j few new arrivals in Nenana from
! the Tolovana and Hot Springs coun
i try. In this way the steel gang
has been brought up to nearly the
' strength it should be and Superin
tendent Packer states that many
more men could be used to advant
age on the construction works.
If nothing interfers with the prog
ress of the work it is expected that
1 the D line will have joined the old
| location and actual steel laying or.
| the old grade will be in progress- by
: the end of next week.
About two miles from where the
; D line joins the old line, the coal
mine opened by Billy Lynn
situated, and in a very short time
shipments of coal will commence to
arrive in Nenana for the use of the
Alaskan Engineering commission.
' and after Mr. Lynn has supplied the
: A. E. C. with the full quantity con
tracted for. it is possible that coal
for general use in Nenana will be
hauled to town.
PLANS
10 MAKE SEARCH
AFTER FREEZE-UP
Yesterday evening the power boat
Northern Light returned to town
from Hadleys camp with Resident
Engineer Hawley W. Sterling, A.
St. J. McAuley, Thomas Scott, Axel
Running and J. M. Burrows, who
had been engaged in the search for
the wrecked launch Flyer and the
unfortunate victims of the great
disaster. They report that all of
the boats and men engaged in this
work have gone back to their re
spective homes, and with the return
of the. Northern Light, the long
search has been brought to a close
for the summer. Mr. Sterling, whose
wife was among the passengers on
the ill-fated launch, expects to re- j
turn to Hadley’s camp after the!
freezeup and continue the search.
Mr. Sterling at whose disposal the j
A. E. C.’s fast launch Sunbearm j
was placed by Mr. Browne, engineer i
in charge, left for the supposed *
scene of the disaster immediately
after the news of it had reached
Kenana and he has been on the job >
ever since; and although everything:
possible has been done, he has not j
given up hope and expects to be!
able to find the hull of the Flyer, j
in which all are agreed, the bodies;
»f the victims still lie. !
From the commencement of the j
search and until it’s final aband- .
>nment for the time being yester- j
iay, the concrete results have only'
been the finding of the body of i
VIrs. Craig, three life preservers, in- ’
•luding the one on Mrs. Craig, some ;
>f the floor boards of the launch j
ind a piece of the stem of the
>oat; all these being found within J
i radius of seven miles of the 12-j
nile bar, where the Flyer is sup
ISUPPLY DEPOT
; WILL BE ILL
NEAR LIGNITE
To serve the needs of the en-1
I gineering parties and railroad work
i ers who will be employed in ex-.
j tending: the road beyond the Ne-!
nana Crossing at 43-mile, the Alas
kan Engineering commission is plan-1
ning on building a large store and;
other buildings to serve as a supply |
depot, on a site near the right of
way beyond Lignite and in close
i proximity to the Nenana canyon, [
.approximately sixty miles south of
I town.
There will be small camp, possibly!
a section gang, stationed at the cross-1
ing at 43-mile. Supplies will be;
! freighted acorss the river and stored
! in the supply depot buildings for
future use.
The bridge across the river at the
crossing is of a temporary nature'
and Br. Browne expects it to be
taken out when the breakup occurs
every spring: and until such time I
as the necessary steel can be got*
for the permanent bridge, traffic
will be interfered with to some ex
tent until repairs have been ef
fected to permit of the use of the
temporary bridge and a resumption
of traffic made possible.
| To prevent any loss of time in
getting the needed construction ma
terial and supplies ^>r the parties
working beyond, a large supply of j
everything necessary will be freight-!
ed over during the winter to the j
store and depot near Nenana can-1
yon.
It is not definitely known just'
when a commencement will be made j
with the work of erecting the depot j
buildings, but it is expected that it'
will be taken in hand in the near |
future.
posed to have met disaster.
During the latter days of the j
search, several cases of dynamite'
were used in the deep places and i
along the bars below the 12-mile J
bar. but the explosons were quite J
barren of results. It is the con-'
sensus of opinion that the bodies j
are imprisoned in the lost launch, :
and that the finding of it alone will
disclose the manner of its destruc
tion.
War is an ugly thing, but a Ger
man peace is uglier—.
