MEMBERSHIP OF
COMMERCE CLUB
_
Two more names were added to
the membership roll of the Nenana
Commercial club at last night’s
meeting, bringing the total member
1 ship of the organization up to 94.
j The new members ar > E. A. Head
and Harry Owen The attendance
at the regular weekly meetings also
has been growing steadily of late,
' and last night the number present
was so great that the aceommoda
j tions of the club quarters were tax
! ed to capacity.
The business transacted last night
I consisted chiefly of the receipt and
I consideration of committee reports,
! and discussion of the proposal to
hold a club excursion to the end of
steel \ and the Eva creek quartz
properties of Neil McCall and asso
ciates. Mr. McCall was present and
promised to make the visit to his
i district both pleasing and inter
esting to members of the club.
The publicity committee, of which
Dr. R. R. Myers is chairman, re
ported the despatch of telegrams
to Washington and Fairbanks, rela
tive to the indorsement of the con
struction program of Secretary
Lane. The committee was instruct
ed to arrange for an advertising
slide to be shown at the Post pic
I ture show house at Fort Gibbon,
| setting forth the merits of the
| Broad Pass trail.
Frederick D. Browne informed
! the publicity committee that the
trail had been shortened consider
ably since last mention was made
by the club of the distance between
ends of steel. The distance at pres
ent, he said, is only 145 miles.
The publicity committee was also
instructed to inquire into a proposi
tion submitted by the New West
magazine, a new Seattle publication,
which informed the club that Ne
nana and the government railrotnl
had been given considerable desir
able advertising in the February
issue.
'
Chairman H. B. Joseph, ot the
roads committee, reported that the
matter of securing a survey of . a
proposed road into the Kantis'hna
district had been taken up with the
miners of that -district, with a yiew
to having a largely signed petition
presented to the proper authorities.
Other petitions had been mailed, he
said, to other nearby districts. Mr.
Joseph also reported the receipt of
a telegram from Geo. W. Penning
ton, in whch the club was i»formed
I of a meeting with Major Waugh* of
the Alaska Road commission, and of
the favorable optlook for interest
ing the commisison in Nenana dis
, trict road needs.
Chairman Myers, of the commit
tee appointed to co-operate with
Fairbanks in the movement to se
cure government aid for prospectors
stated that he expected to visit
[the upper town at an early date,
I and that he hoped to have some
| thing to report upon his return.
! A bill covering this matter, he said,
[ is now pending in Congress, and
j there is little more .to be done pend'
i ing final action on the matter.
M. A. Schaeffer, of the mining
■ committee, informed the club of
i the completion of the mineral eftb
I inet, and of the display therein of
| a number of ore samples received
; from various districts tributary to
| Nenana. Upon the suggestion of
Mr. Schaeffer, the. committee was in
j structed to communicate with Wash
| ington relative to the status and
I scope of the new leasing bill, now
before Congress. This information,
he pointed out, should be received
in Alaska sufficiently early to pro
tect Northerners.
Frederick D. Browne, chairman
of the power plant committee, had '
I nothing special to report, but
[ assured the members that the mat-\
ter safely could be trust-d for the;
present to the Tanank Valley Chap-,
ter of the American Mining Con
gress, which is going into the de-.
tails, preparatory to appealing to.
Washington for assistance. Mr. !
Browne is of the opinion that agita- j
tion for the use of water power in
connection with the proposed plant
should not be encouraged. As point
ed out some time ago by Super
intendent Davis, of th# Bureau of
Mines, the cost of installing a
hydro-electric plant is greater than
Rne which would use the fuel avail
able at the coal fields, and the use
of water might also necessitate the
installation of a steam plant as an
auxiliary.
The proposed by-law amendments,
which were presented to the club
for the first reading last week, were
read a second time last night and
adopted. The amendments provide
for the creation of a finance com
mittee and prescribe it.- powers and
duties.
While the excursion discussion
was in progress, Robert E. Burns
spoke enthusiastically of the scenic
T>eauty of the Lignite coun ry, and
assured the members that a delight
ful two days could be spent in
vi' wing the wonder- of that portion
of the Xenana valley. He men
tioned one vein of coal,, a short
distance above the Burns mine,
which measures 150 feet, measured
at right angle to the strike. At
another point, he said, so many
seams are exposed that the whole
mountain had the appearance t f oe
ing a solid mass of coal. He ad
vised those making the trip to be
sure to take camt ras along.
