Paul Popovich, a well known
prospector and miner of the Nenana
district, came into town on the train
arriving Saturday evening for some
needed supplies, and expects to get
away on the train on Wednesday
for his diggings and camp on Colo
rado creek.
Paul has been prospecting quite
extensively in the neighborhood of
the Nenana Canyon, and being satis
fied with the indications obtained,
commenced the sinking of two holes
on Colorado creek recently He has
sunk one of the holes to a depth
of seven feet and the other to a
depth of fve feet, but has not en
countered bedrock yet. The ground
in this region is frozen only to a
depth of four feet, he says.
Colorado creek is a tributary of
the Nenana river and flows into it
at a point about a mile and a half
above the Nenana Canyon. Paul's
camp is on the Colorado, about nine
miles above its mouth.
He intends to complete his holes
on the Colorado and also do some
prospecting for quartz on Moody
creek, a tributary of the Healy
river.
SLAV SOCIEIY IS
ADDING MEMBERS
The American Slav Society, of
Nenana, the new patriotic fraternal
organization which was started dur
ing the past month, held another
meeting -on Saturday night and
added a very substantial number
of new names tothe charter member
ship roll The attendance was the
largest recorded at any meeting thus
far hold, and enthusiasm over the
furthe growth and usefulness of
the society was very much in evi
dence.
Among the names added to the
membership roll were those of Paul
Popovich, the wTell known mining
man; Alek Medoff, another sour
dough miner; and Joe Zellick and
Alek Kalissoff, prominent contract
ors; and others engaged in con
tracting and mining.
At an early date, when the de
tails of the organization have been
perfected, a full list of the members
will appear in the News, and it is
possible that the membership roll
will be published regularly.
Sufficient progress has now been
made to justify the statement, ac
cording to members of the organiza
tion, that the society is now a per
manent fixture of the towm, and it
is expected that the work, for which
it w-as organized, will be taken in
hand at no distant date.
Paul Popovch, after paying his
membership fees, donated the sum
of $10 to the Red Cross and $12.50
to the Treasure and Trinket fund.

BROWNE PAR1Y IS
BACK FROM TRIP
SOU1H OF IOWN
A special train sent out to the
end of the line yesterday morning
pulled in last evening with F. D.
Browne, H. K. Ward, William Sbor
gia and Dorwin Browne, who had
been on a reconnaissance trip to the
Broad Pass country, and some dis
tance toward the Kantishna district. I
The party was met at the end of
steel by Mrs. F. D. Browne and
W. L. Packer, who went out on the
special.
The Browne party left Nenana
on the morning of Wednesday, Feb
rury 26, for the end of steel, stop- [
ping at camp 367 for the night, j
Starting out next morning, the
party, traveling by dog teams driv-'
en by William Sborgia and Dorwin
Brown and carrying a light camp
ing outfit, headed out for the Broad
Pass summit, on the first leg of an
extended reconnaissance trip Mr.
Browne had planned.
The railroad right of way over
a section of the main line lying
between Carlo creek and the Broad
Pass summit, a distance of about
25 miles, on which only a prelimin
ary survey by Mr. Bacon had been
made, still remains to be located,
and the party traversed this stretch;
and a definite location of the right
1 J
of way will probably be made in
the spring.
Fine weather was experienced by
the party on the journey to the
summit, and the object for which
the trip was undertaken being ac
complished, the party returned to
the end of steel, arriving at camp
367 on Sunday evening, March 2.
It was the intention of the party
to make a trip to the headwaters
of the Lignite and Riley creeks, but
in view of the fine weather pre
vailing, with' the possibilities of
easy travel to the Kantishna dis
trict, this plan was abandoned and
a reconnaissance trip to the Kan
tishna was commenced.
From the confluence of the Riley
with the Nenana river the party
started out over a trackless waste,
tieaded in a westerly direction to
ward the Muldrow Glacier and the
VIt. McKinley Park country. Trav
;ling was necessarily slow as trail
lad to be broken all the way and
:he snow lay deep. There was not
?ven a trapper’s trail in the region
through which the party passed and
the increasing depth of snow as
hey penetrated farther in toward
the mountains bordering the Mc
Kinley country, made progress slow
ind the going very difficult.
What might be termed the prin
cipal object of the rec/nnaissance,
vas a study of the country through
.vhich the road is to be located,
with special reference to the quan
tity and class of the material that
vould be available for the construc
tion of the proposed rail or wagon
road and the approximate cost per
1
I
1
As far as could be ascertained,! (
no one had traversed this part of j
:he country in the summer time,1 ]
»nd the data available regarding <
•wamps, etc., was very meager. The
course of the party and what would
iltimately be the location of the
road led over a series of low di
vides and necessitated the crossing .
af many streams, some of the later 1
jf which were quite Targe. The .
Savage Fork, for instance, being
about 300 feet wide Timber for
(
structures to carry the road across
these streams did not appear to be i
very plentiful nor quite suitable for .
the purpose, although perhaps, this ,
want can probably be supplied from1,
woods not far distant.
The snow' covered the country j j
to a depth of from three to fourI:
feet and more, and thus defeated .
the main object for which the trip |
was undertaken. There was no1
possible chance of finding out what,
class of road material and how1
much of it could be obtained, and l
as the snow appeared to be as deep
or deeper the farther the party
penetrated, Mr. Browne decided to
curtail the trip and make the re
connaissance later, when more
definite data along the lines indi
cated could be more readily ob

tained.
Mr. Browne also stated that he is
very anxious to make the trip into
the Kantishna in the early spring,
if possible, and that he would like
to see the streams which cross the
route of the proposed road at va
rious places; in flood if possible,
tnd at the same time make a study
>f the marshy sections along this
•oute so that he will be enabled,
nore clearly, to estimate the ap
proximate cost of the proposed
■oad. From the little he was able
o see on the present trip, Mr.
3rowne sa,d that it was not possible
o make any definite statement, but
ndicated that a later reconr.ais
:ance will determine all that there
s to know and make possible an
;xhaustive report, giving cost state
nent, etc., for the building of a
•ail or wagon road into the Kan
ishna.

•ampinpr in the woods brought the
’arty to the upper Middle river
country, the outer fringe of the big
tame country, where camp was
nade for the night. From this
joint the return journey was eom
nenced; faster time being made
>ver the partly broken trail, the
•nd of steel being reached on Sat
irday night.
While in the Middle river coun
ry, fresh caribou and Moose
racks were seen by the party and
wo caribou also were come across,
>ut as they were not in want of
neat, the animals were not killed,
’tarmigan were seen on the trip:
he hunters of the party, Dorwin
Jrown and Bill Sborgia, bagging
few, which were added to the
'ill of fare. The party was not
irovided with anything but heavy
ifles, which neessarily limited the
iag of ptarmigan.
