i Among the passengers on the
i steamer Yukon which arrived here
1 yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. Cecil

returning to their home at Fair
banks after putting in the season
in mining on Woodchopper creek
! in the Hot Springs district,
j They transferred at Nenana to
the steamer Reliance which sailed
' for the upper towq early this morn
ing.
Mr. Clegg ,who is a well known
I practicing attorney of Fairbanks, at
I one time atached to the prosecuting
department, took a lay on a placer
I mining claim owned by Adolph
! Boch, and in partnership with Fred
; Jorgensen, worked the claim all
. summer successfully.
Mr. Clegg expects to resume his
' practice shortly after his arrival in
Fairbanks.

All of the men now stationed at
the army post and those who will
join them later on will be attached
to Company D, 30th Battalion
United States Guard. The United
States Guards were formed about
a year ago and was improved and
enlarged about six months ago. The
regiment was primarily intended
for reconstruction work and was
largely composed of men physically
disqualified for use with the fight
ing force, but who were eligible for
limited or special service. The au
thorities would practically recon
struct these men and transfer them
to the fighting force just as soon
as their peculiar disabilities were
removed by a course of instruction
and treatment.
Captain Joseph Spaulding is the
commanding officer at the post;
First Lieutenant A. S. Johnson
does duty with the company; First
Lieutenant J. E. DeWolfe is quarter
master; Captain Leonard, U. S.
Medical Corps, attends to the ail
ments of everybody at the post, and
First Lieutenant A. S. Collins is
the officer in charge of the tele
graph system from Eagle to Chena.
The new building erected to ac
commodate the extra men who will
be sent to the post from time to
time by the local boards under the
selective service regulations, is near
ly completed and needs only a few
finishing touches on the inside to
make it habitable. It will prob
ably be occupied by the drafted
men this winter and until such time
as they are sent out to a training
camp.
The transport Jacobs is expected
to make the last run for the season
shortly and according to the pres
ent schedule arranged, she will leave
Fairbanks on or about the 25tfi of
this month and will probably pick up
the drafted men enroute. On ar
rival at Fort Gibbon she will be
hauled on the ways for the winter.
The other transport, the Davis, will
also go int<^ winter quarters about
the same time.

The E. R. Peoples home was sold
to Mr. Snodgrass, of the Govern
ment Experiment Farm; and Theo
; dore Johnson’s home was purchased
! by E. B. Collins, of Fox.
' A call has been issued for the
j induction of the men of the 1917
| class, and the names will be pub
i lished tomorrow. It is expected that
; there will be about seventy-five
' men in this draft. They will be
j sent to the training camp at Fort
I'Gibbon on the transport Jacobs,
sailing about the 25th of the pres
ent month.
Mrs. C. W. Adams, of Nenana,
left for the States today on the
steamer Yukon.
YOUNG NICELY
AIIIS CHANCE
U. S. NAVAL TRAING CAMP, !
Seattle Wash.—Mushing 300 miles j j
from Nenana, Alaska, to Anchorage j
with his pack slung over his back, :
and making his own trail part of the |
time, Willis H. Nicely arrived at this I
camp recently, completing a journey Jj
that began June 17. Nicely applied |j
for enlistment in the Naval Reserve ! j
Force, which was the object of his '
long and arduous trip, only to find |
that at present the navy and all
other branches of military service ’ i
are closed to volunteers. He was |
registered, however, and as soon 1;
as the bars are lifted, will be signed;
up provided the new draft law will ;
not in any wise affect the recruit-j
ing work heretofore conducted at :
this camp and elsewhere. There is
litle likelihood that there will be J
any changes in the system, and,
Nicely’s trip will not be in vain.
Nicely is none the worse for his I
long tramp, although he found much i
to contend with during the greater
part of his journey. He fought his
way through swarms of mosquitos,!'
and where the trail faded out, was J
compelled to push his way through 1
overflowing streams and over in-1
numerable “niggerheads.”
He is the son of Mrs. Margret j
Nicely, of Nenana. Nicely passed
the required physical examination
and will be enlisted as soon as the
word is given to start recruiting
again. He has applied for a place
in the aviation ground school and (
will be sent to an artificers school
for a course of instruction.
Chief Yeoman Kline, the camp’s
enrolling officer, who hails from
Ketchikan, advises that applications
will be received by mail and acted
upon as soon as the present barrier
is removed.
ADOlfliiG !
TO MINE AGAIN i
ON JACK WADE:
Adolf Bruning, who had been
connected with the American Bank
of Alaska in Fairbanks for many
years, and who was later appointed
as its receiver shortly after its fail
ure, was a passenger on board the
Tanana bound for Eagle.
He resigned the receivership re-1
cently and is now on his way to i
the Fortymlie country, where he ex- j
pects to engage in gold mining. Mr. j
Bruning owns an interest in some I
placer mining ground on Jack Wade i
creek, which is said to carry good
values and hopes to be able to de-!
velop his property.
Mr. Bruning is well known
throughout the Tanana valley and ]
his many friends will be glad to
hear of his success in the mining
game. ,
WIRES ARE DOWN;
NEWS IS DEYLAYED
Owing to a break in the line
somewhere, the Nenana News did
not get any Associated Press tele
grams today regarding the war and
the happenings on the Outside.
It was understood this morning
that the repair gang sent out to
locate the trouble and mend the line
would be able to do so and that
messages would be sent through this
afternoon, but up to a late hour
this afternoon no press messages
were received.
Contracts for the purchase of olive
drab melton cloth, to be used in
the manufacture of woolen uni
forms for the army and amounting
to $4,709,250, have been approved
by the board of review in the office
of the quartermaster general.
Among other purchase transac-1
tions approved is one for $5,600
worth of potato mashers and one
for 18,000 gross of hooks and eyes
costing $11,500, the latter for re
clamation work.
