HEALY EXCURSION
DELAYED BY RUSH
The proposed excursion from Fair
banks to the end of steel south of
Xenana has beSn called off tem
porarily by the Alaskan Engineering
; commission because of the rush of
i business on the X'enana-Fairbanks
line, all of the available rolling stock
being engaged at present in moving
(freight from Xorth X'enana to the
| upper town. All of the Fairbanks
: bound freight now arriving here is
* being relayed to its destination by
train, instead of by river as in pre
vious years, leaving neither time nor
trains for excursion parties.
In a statement made to a repre
sentative of The News this morn
ing. Roadmaster W. L. Packer asid
that it might be possible to arrange
a special trip to the end of steel as
soon as all the Fairbanks freight
has been disposed of, but an excur
sion at this time is out of the ques
tion.
The last of the freight probably
will be in by the end of the week,
and within a few days afterwards
the rush of work on the Fairbanks
line will let up somewhat. It may
be possible then to spare a train
crew and train for an excursion,
should the people of Fairbanks be
still of the notion.
It had been planned t,o run a
special to the end of steel just as
soon as the Xenana river bridge was
restored to use. but large shipments
of freight arriving about that time
necessitated a rearrangement of
plans.

The Tanana Valley placer mining
district will produce $1,000,000 in
gold this*, season, according to pre
liminary estimates made by Volnev
Richmond, general manager of the
Northern Commercial company, who
has just completed his annual tour
of Interior Alaska. Mr. Richmond
estimates the total of gold produc
tion for Interior Alaska this year
at §2,985,000. and the Dawson dis
trict total at $1,500,000.
The production in practically ev
ery Interior camp has been curtailed
to some extent by lack of rainfall,
creating a shortage of water, which
delayed seriously sluicing operations.
Mr. Richmond says that some of the
camps have almost been put out of
business on this account. Tolovana,
during the summer, had only 11
days of sluicing, that being in May.
Dumps taken out last fall and win
ter in that district are still partly
unwashed.
Dredges are opera.ted in the Idit
arod, Ophir-Tacotna, Fairbanks dis
tricts, while the Berry dredge in the
Circle district has been shut down
all season. The Bagley scraper is
used considerably in the Fairbanks
district and there is much hydraul
