WOOD RIVER SAWMILL
CLOSED FOR SUMMER
Louis Johnson, of the Wood River'
Lumber company, arrived in town'
recently, having sawed up all the!
logs taken out and closed the mill
for the season. He will remain in
town for a few days ere returning
to Wood river.
The Wood River Lumber company
opened the season earlier than any
other similar concern on the river
and shipped to Nenana a large
quantity of the lumber sawn last
season.
The output of the mill this sea
son was 200,000 feet of lumber of
the various sizes, most of it being
in one-inch boards. A portion of the
output, as well as part of last sea
son’s output was finished off in the
planing mill at Wood river, which
has also been closed for the season.
The bulk of this season’s output
is still at the mills but arrangements
have been completed for the lumber
to be shipped to Nenana and ship
ments of if are expected shortly
on the steamer Shusana.
‘Mr. Johnson may decide to reside
in Nenana for the balance of the
summer at least .

STEEL IS MOVING
RAPIDLY TOWARD
IRE COAL FIELD
The Laying of Steel Beyond Fi*h
Creek Bridge Was Resumed
Yesterday Morning.
All of the camps housing the men
working on force account on the
new D line have now been moved
and installed in their designated
positions on the new D line and the
crews have settled down to work.
Camp 15 which is made up en
tirely of the ballasting and surfac
ing gangs, is on the south bank
of Fish creek; and Camp 16, hous
ing the day and night crews of the
steel laying gangs, is on the north
bank of Fish creek.
The steel laid by the day crew
of the steel gang was found to be
sufficient to keep a very large force
of men ballasting and surfacing,
and therefore the night crew of
the steel gang has been added to
the strength of the ballasting and
surfacing gangs.
The work is said to be progress
ing very favorably and rapidly, and
up to last night when the steel gang
quit for the day, 3000 feet of steel
had been laid beyond the Fish creek
bridge, making the total of the steel
laid on the D line from the switch
up to where the men quit work
last night, 17,000 feet.
A large number of the clearing
contractors on the new D line have
completed the work undertaken and
by the end of the present month
it is expected that all of the clear
ing work will have been completed.
Progress is being made by the
grading contractors, but it is hard
to say just when all the grading
work on the new line will be com
pleted.
The new D line, commencing at
the switch on the old line near Fish
creek until it joins the old line
again near Bartlett’s old camp, is
just about twenty miles long.

Carpenter Shop of Conminion la
Detached From Main Building
and Moved 60 Feet.
The Alaskan Engineering com
mission's carpenter shop, which was
formerly a part of the long struc
ture housing the power plant, car
penter shop and machine and black
smith shop, has been detached from
the main building and will be moved
back sixty feet. This is done as a
fire protection measure.
The carpenter shop has already
been detached and placed on skids
and the actual moving of it to its
new location will be taken in hand
at once. It will probably be in
1 place at the end of the day’s work.
A new structure to serve as a
paint shop is now being erected and
there will also be an interval of
60 feet between it and the nearest
building to it, to guard against fire.
The A. E. C. plans call for a new
building to serve as a machine shop
and it is expected that the work
of erecting this building will be
taken in hand soon. It is not defin
itely known, at the present time,
just where this new building will
be put up in the Commission yard,
but it is expected that a suitable
site will be selected in a day or
two.
The building now housing the ma
chine shop will be used as a store
room for machine parts and tools,
as soon as the new machine shop is
ready for occupancy.

SOME GOLD IS FOUND
NEAR OLD RUBY TOWN
The steamer Tanana brings the
| news of a small strike being made
above the town of Ruby, a short
! time ago, by a man whose name
I could not be ascertained. While
I digging a well some little distance
.above the town, colors were dis
j covered and as the depth of the well
1 increased more colors were found
j in such quantities as to warrant the
I man setting up a rocker and it is
' reported that he rocked out one
| hundred dollars in one day. The
strike did not cause any excitement
around Ruby, and the presumption
is that the man ran upon a pocket
' of gold.
