j Within the Next Few Day* the
Building of a New Machine
Shop Will Be Started.
To the rear of the new round
j house now in course of construe
| tion, with a space of sixty feet in
! tervening between them, a new ma
j chine shop building will be com
! menced in the course of the next
few days.
The new machine shop will be 100
feet long and 58 feet wide, which
will make the new building more
1 than twice as large as the old ma
chine shop now in use.
One of the tracks running into
the roundhouse will be continued on
down and throilgh the new machine
shop building so that the locomotives
can be readily run into the machine
shop and repairs that may become
necessary in the future greatly facili
tated.
The preparation of the foundation
for the building and the assembling
of the necessary material will be
taken in hand at once.
EXPiT DETAILED
10 ADVISE C0AS1
ANCHORAGE.—To give geologi
cal aid to the mining industry in the
region tributary to the Government
railroad is the mission of Theodore
Chapin, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, who has arrived from
Washington, D. C., to establish head
quarters in Anchorage. He is ac
companied by Mrs. Chapin and they
will make their home here.
Mr. Chapin’s duties include not
only the extending of assistance in
any way possible for him to the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
which is building the Government
railway, but the giving of advisory
information to any persons whomso
ever. Quite naturally, his chief
work will be in connection with the
neighboring coal fields. However,
he will devote attention to the de
posits of other sorts of minerals.
His first trip of an official nature
will be to the Matanuska coal fields.
, If more time than Mr. Chapin has
at his disposal is required in the
r prosecution of his duties, the Geo
logical Survey, on his recommenda
e tion, will detail an additional spe
jj cialist to the Anchorage office.|

“How did Mayor Thompson maki

Mr. Wadsworth. “A crowd o

LOCOMOTIVES ARE
Big Engine! Are Laid Off 48 Hours
But Work On Line Not Delayed
On This Acount.
The repairs made to the big loco
motives 270 and 272 after the big
fire which consumed the roundhouse
some time ago and damaged the
engines have been largely of a tem
porary nature, and the big engines
have been doing duty ever since
that time at much less than their
full working capacity.
The necessary repair parts which
had been wired for, arrived on the
steamer Yukon, and for the purpose
of installing them, the locomotives
have been taken off the run and
brought into the temporary round
house, where the necessary repairs
will be undertaken.
To enable the steel, ballasting
and surfacing crews to continue the
work on the line, a very large
amount of gravel was hauled out
to the D line and banked for their
use until the engines can again go
into commission. There is enough
gravel along the line now to keep
the gangs going for a period of ten
days or more.
It is expected that the locomotives
will be ready to go on the run to
morrow morning.
The engines when ready for use
after the repair parts have been put
in place will be practically as good
as new and they will be capable of
doing a great deal more work than
heretofore.
During the 48-hour lay-off given
the two big locomotives, the “Five
Spot” has been doing all the work
on the line except the hauling oi
the gravel cars. She is the only
engine now in commission and will
probably take the train out to
morrow morning.
The work done by the “Five Spot’
consisted in hauling all of the rails
and material used by the gangs
working on the new D line and tak
ing the gangs to and from work
She is also working night and day
shifts.
