The big- snow-slide at Eleven
mile is down, and traffic between
Nine-mile and the head of the val
ley tied up. says a recent issue of
the Hyder Miner. The Premier man
agement have a crew at work
shoveling a road across, and it will
be open in a short time. This slide
runs nearly ever}- year. Last year
it was so deep across the road that
a tunnel was driven large enough
to permit teams to go through.
It is reported at Juneau, ac
cording’ to the Stroller’s Weekly,
that the Pacific Steamship Company
has informed representatives of the
government that henceforth Uncle
Sam will be expected to come ac
cross monthly with $100 for dock
ing his coast guard cutter Unalga
at the former’s wharf at Juneau.
Civic organizations are endeavoring
to mediate in the matter, which is
recognized as having merit on both
sides. It *s said that if the Unalga i
is charged dockage it may be trans
ferred to some other point t<^ do
its tying up.
Ice which formed at head of
Portland canal during a recent cold
snap and was driven down bv a
north-wind, did somf damage to the
Hyder wharf, taking out one of the
corner piles and loosening several
others.The northern dolphin, which
consisted of five piles fastened to
gether at the top, was also taken
out. The damage can be easily re
pealed.
According to aJyices at Hyder
from Seattle a company has been
organized to operate the 'Gloria
'group of 12 claims located near the
bead of Bulldog creek by A. Lin
cke of Hyder. The organization
says the Miner was perfected by
j E. B. Fugier of Great Falls, Mon
i tana, who spent some time in this
camp last summer, and who is pres
ident of the company. Associated
with him is C. H. Peterson, a Min
nesota banker.

COL. STEESE MAY ASSUME
CHARGE OF RAILROAD SOON
—
The Alaska Railroad will be for
mally taken over by Col. James G.
' SteeSe and Col. J: C. Gotwals this
i month according to advices receiv
ed recently at the Juneau Alaska
Road Commission headquarters.
Both have been appointed members
^ of the Alaska Engineering Commis
I sibn, according to the Empire.
; Colonel Steese planned to leave
Juneau for Anchorage on the Steam
er Northwestern on Sunday and
the transfer of management of the
Alaska Railroad ■Rill be made as
; soon as possible after he reaches
Anchorage.
i Colonel Gotwals was expected to
reach Juneau from the Interior for
a conference with Col. Steese over
the new duties imposed by the
change and to return with him to
Anchorage to take part in the trans
fer.
Word of the relief' of Colonel
Mears from duty with the Alaskan
Engneerng Commisson and his re
placement by Colonel Steese was re
ceived at Juneau in the regular
press dispatches received by the
Empire from Washington. In that it
was stated that the work of rail
road operation and contraction
would be consolidated with the road
and trail building work of the Alas
ka Road Commission under Colonel
Steese. The consolidation, k was,
; added, would not take place until
May 1.
From the telegraphic advices re
ceived later at the Nenana offices
of the Road Commission it is ap
; parent that the transfer will come
jearier'than was first announced.
LARGE TONNAGE OF ORE
TO GO THROUGH NENANA
—
According to advices received in
Nenana recently the White Pass is
preparing to deliver between 8,000
and 9,000 tons of Mayo ore at Ne
! nana during the coming summer
for shipment to the coast via the
Alaska Railroad. The steamers Alas
ka and Yukon which were built a
decade ago to operate between
Whitehorse and Fairbanks when the
White Pass first invaded American
waters, and which were taken ofT
the Tanana river last season, fol
lowing the inauguration of through
traffic on the railroad, will operate
during the coming season between
Dawson and Nenana, carrying ore
from Mayo, freight from Nenana.
and passengers both ways.
Under the terms of the agreement
between the Alaskan Engineering
Commission and the White Pass,
the Government boats Davis and
Jacobs, will operate between Nenana
and the lower Yukon river, pro
bably as far down as Holy Cross,
beyond which point a launch pro
bably will be used to connect with
St. Michael.
Although it is probable the crews
for the Davis and Jacobs have been
selected, the personnel has not been
made public. It is rumored, however
that Captain Bergman and Guy
Bergman will have charge of one
of the boats, while Captain Sam
Lancaster will be master of the
other, with Captain Depuy acting
as pilot. It is also reported that the
mates will be Kehoe and Coming.
No announcement has been made
regarding the White Pass crews,
which are being selected at Seattle,
but it is expected they will include
many of the old faces familiar a
long the river
Bill Hartnett, who has been with
the White Pass for many years in
the river service, is now in the em
ploy of the Alaska Steamship Com
pany. Captain Adams, another old
time rivermar., is in Seattle at pre
sent, and appears to have quite re
covered from his illness. Captain
McCann also is in Seattle. Jim Gau
din recently underwent an operation
for nose trouble and has been laid
up in Seattle a good part of the
winter, with another operation a
waiting him as soon as his condi
tion will permit.

TREADWELL MAY DEVELOP
NEW KUSKOKWIM PROSPECT
L. A. Bullard, manager for the
Treadwell Yukon Company, Ltd at
their Kuskokwim propenry. while in
Ketchikan recently enroute to Jun
eau where he will spend a few days
where he will spend a few days,
and then go on to Seward, thence
by rail to the company’s operations
about 40 miles from McGrath.
Mr. Bullard stated that the Tread
well company have another property
under consideration in the Kuskok
wim and that he will make an in
spection of it at an early date.
He says they got from the largest
deposits of their present workings
about 3500 tons of high grade ore
which has been, or will be milled at
a 10 stamp mill on the premises,
and there is still sufficient ore in
sight to keep the mill running until
the spring of 1924, when, useless
other deposits are uncovered, the
operations wall be abandoned.
The present workings are, accord
ing to Mr. Bullard in an extremely
I isolated section of the country, the
nearest settlement of any size being
McGrath, which is 40 miles distant,
and over a poor trail. So far from
civilization is the camp. Mr. Bullard
says, they are served with news of
the world when it becomes about
a month old, as the mail arrives
j but once a month. It is the habit,
he says, to read the papers of the
lastest date, and take a chance on
the earlier ones. If there were pros
pects of remaining in the section for
any length of time, he says the com
pany would establish a radio station
but from the present outlook, it
seems hardly feasible.
Judge James Wickersham left
Juneau for San Francisco recently
to appear in the appellate court in
connection w:th a Juneau case on
appeal.

Robert A. Stout, well known old
timer of the Kuskokwim district,
now at the Pioneer’s Home at Sitka
in a letter to Harvey D. Mitchell,
writes as follows:
“This is a tough old place with
out a little money. I am {retting
along as well as could be expecte 1
considering the fact that they have
done nothing for my teeth. There
is no dentist in connection with the
Home, and at present there are no
funds available to pay the local
dentist. Now. it seems, they ex
pect an appropriation in March,
when the legislature meets and then
they may be able to do something
The doctor here says the principal
cause of my trouble is my teeth
and there is no use of my thinking
of leaving till I get them fixed.”
