NEW ICE POO
BIG ATTRACTION
10 DOPESTERS
That interest in the big event,
the breakup, has not waned one
little bit, is made apparent every
day by the demand for tickets on
the various pools around town on
this event.
This is specially so in regard to
the consolation pool, which wTas
started almost immediately after
the close of the big ice pool. The
big pool closed on the 15th of the
present month, and the consolation
pool will be closed on April 25th,
and by that time, it may earn the
right to be called the big pool,
judging from the demand, at the
present time, for tickets.
It was originally intended by the
promoters that only 1000 tickets ai
50c per chance, would be sold, bul
it looks now as though the amount
will have to be doubled at least
Tickets for the consolation poo'
are on sale at all of the pool halls
in town, and the supply of these
is fast diminishing. Considerably
more than the original number oi
tickets printed have been sold, with
the demand ever on the increase.
In the meantime, the ice dope
sters, sourdough as well as chechaco.
are malyng daily pilgrimages to the
waterfront to read the signs, and in
many case.^ this has led to changes
in the betting. Every change in
the weather is carefully noted, and
close tab. in some cases, is also
kept on the weather prevailing at
Fairbanks. Some go the length of
figuring on the forest fires as a con
tributing factor to the great event;
the date of which, up to the present
moment, still remains a mystery or
nearly so.
STEAM SHOVEL
IS MOVED AWAY
FROM FAIRBANKS
The steam shovel, which had been
working- at the gravel pit near Fair
banks, has been moved away for
work in connection with the build
ing of the new roadbed farther
along the line, towards Nenana, and
is now said to be nearing camp 449.
Billy Butler and his crew are still
with the steam shove! and will prob
ably so continue all season.
The gravel pit near Fairbanks
has been abandoned temporarily,
as the haul was too far, the cost
almost prohibitive and there are
not enough gravel ears at the Fair
banks end to keep pace with the
steam shovel and haul away the
material she can take out, as fast
as the A. E. C. officials would like
it to move.
The A. E. C. had to choose be
tween ballasting the already exist
ing track of the T. V. R. R. and
building new grade to connect with
Nenana and the Lignite coal fields.
The latter work being considered
the more important one, the shove!
was moved.
TUESDAY BRIDGE CLUB
WILL CONTINUE GAMES
The Tuesday Bridge club met
last night at the home of Miss
Adeline Ferretti and a most enjoy
able time was spent in playine
auction bridge. Dainty- refreshment
were served by the hostess during
the course of the games.
Mrs. Alex Fowler had high scor«
for the night’s play, Mesdame;
Gilcher and F. D. Browne being tht
two next highest.
The question of whether the Tues
day club was to continue during
the summer or disband was put t<
the vote of the members, and as th<
majority favored a continuance, i
was so ordered.
The next meeting place of th<
Tuesday Bridge club will be an
i nounced later.

NEW BOUNDARIES
i
l
i
i
Some time ago it was brought
to the attention of the Xenana
Commercial club that mining men
in the outlying districts, contiguous
to the government railroad, were
required to go to Fairbanks for the
purpose of recording mining loca
tions, etc, as the country their oper
ations covered was included within
the boundries of the Fairbanks min
ing district. It was pointed out
to the Commercial club at the time
that the extension of the railroad
south of Xenana brought these dis
tricts very close to Xenana and
that the miners found it more con
venient to do their recording here.
The matter was referred to a com
mittee of the club, who were in
structed to make all inquiries re
garding the matter, by getting ir
touch with the miners concerned
and obtaining definite data, so that
an application with the proper back
ing might be made to the district
judge, and the boundaries of the
Xenana recording precinct extended
if possible to serve the needs ol
these men.
This committee duly made its re
port to the Commercial club, when
it was found that with the extension
of the government railroad, sotth
of Xenana. it would be working a
hardship on the mining men in the
watershed of the Totatianika river
and other nearby mining districts to
require them to go to Fairbanks
when the railroad made it possible
for them to come to Xenana and
return to their camps again in one
day.
The matter was placed before
Judge Bunnell, together with the
data referred to, with the result
that an order was issued, dated
April 18th, redescribing the bound
aries of and thereby extending the
Xenana recording precinct to in
; dude mining ground contiguous to
the railroad.
The Xenana recording precinct,
as redescribed, includes the terri
tory bounded and described as fol
lows :
Commencing at Cathedral Moun
tain on the summit of the Alaskan
Range and extending in a northerly
and westerly direction to the height
of land between the headwaters of
the tributaries of Wood river and
the Tatlanika on the west and the
tributaries of Salcha Slough and
Clear creek on the east and con
tinuing along said height of land
and natural divide crossing the
Tanana river, and following the
height of land and natural divide
in a westerly direction to the highest
point of land at the head of Little
Goldstream and its tributaries and
the tributaries of Maiden creek,
which point is marked by a monu
ment and is designated Burn’s
Knob; thence westerly crossing the
149 Meridian to the junction of
the Teklanika and Tanana rivers;
thence following the channel of the
Tanana river to the junction of the
Tanana river and the Tolovana
river; thence in a southerly direc
tion along the divide between the
Xenana river and its tributaries on
the east and the Kantishna river
and its tributaries on the west tc
the summit of the Alaska Range;
thence along the Alaska Range in
a southeasterly direction across
Broad Pass and to the headwaters
, of Butte creek; thence in a nor
therly northeasterly direction alonj
the Alaska Range to Cathedral
Mountain to the place of beginning
