W. L. Siverley, a well known
mining- man from the Koyukuk
country, whose arrival in Nenana
was chronicled in the issue of the
News of March 17, and referred
therein erroneously as William Siv
erly, commenced his long journey
to his home in the Koyukuk country
last night.
Mr. Siverly is traveling with his
own dog team and a light load, and
expects to make good time over
the long trail, and to complete the
journey to Goldfoot in five days'
time.
Mr Siverly, who is better known
among his many friends as Bill
Siverly. which accounts for his be
ing referred to freqnently as Wil
liam Siverly, has seldom given him
self a holiday in the many years
of his tav in the Northland. He
has steadily prospected and some
times taken out a dump during the
winter season and cleaned up the
dump during the summer time.
His visit to Nenana. which is the
first he has made to any place out
side the limits of the Koyukuk dis
trict in a great many years, was
partly of business and partly of
. srir) h? carries away with
him very pleasant recollections of
our town. Kre he left on his long
journey he expressed himself as
having thoroughly enjoyed his stay
in Nenana. which, he said, might
have been prolonged indefinitely
had the trails net begun to show
s’gns of breaking un. thus portend
ing a very early spring.
Bill and his associates will com
merce wrork in earnest on a block
of ground that holds much nromise
of being a big producer. Imme
diately after his arrival at his camp
he will take the work in hand and
go a^ead with it, as far as the
weart’ "."ill permit, to open un and
prepare for the mining of it on an
extensive scale during the summer.
The force of men under Foreman
Fred Douse, who have been engaged
in taking up the abandoned line
and salvaging all of the material
used in the construction, as well as
all railroad material, cordwood, etc.,
along the old right of way from
Fish creek to Lost Slough, are rap
idly nearing the point on the main
line where the new line branches
off from the abandoned line
Yesterday afternoon the men
were at the Julius creek bridge,
which structure they commenced to
dismantle, and today they expect
to pull off the ties, caps and string
ers, leaving only the piling standing.
The salvaging gang has sent in a
carload of 450 ties daily and a car
load of 100 rails every other day,
for use on the main line south of
town. All of the material lying
along the right of way that had not
been used, as well as the material
used in the construction of the roai
from Lost Slough to Julius creek
, has been taken up and sent for use
. at various points along the main
; line.
There now remains only about a
mile of steel to take up and a few
small structures to dismantle and
j’t is expected, that this will keef
i the gang busy for about two week;
1 more. The American ditcher is be
i inP used in the salvage work.
A jitney jumped over a bluff a1
i Dawson recently, when it was re

show. The car turned a complet*
somersault and landed right side
up in the 3now. The driver nevei

was in the air and when it iandei
was sitting in his accustomed place
A passenger plowed up considerabU
snow when Bhe was thrown out, bul

BIG SCHEME FOR
Three well kown men of the
Tanana valley have formulated a
scheme for starting a reindeer farm
in the Tanana valley, and have laid
their plans accordingly.
W F. Kramer, a former Fair
banks businessman, James Gagnon
and another have made arrange
ments for getting a herd of rein
deer from the government, and ac
cording to the latest advices re
ceived, have been notified that three
small herds owned by the govern
ment, will be loaned to them on
the usual government terms; and
that just as soon as they are ready
to take them over, the herds will
be sent over to them from the Cop
per river country, or turned over to
them there.
Mr. Kramer and his associates
have chosen a tract of land in the
Hoomestake creek country, Big
Chena district, where they have al
ready put up some of the fences
necessary for confining the herds.
The country is rich in reindeer moss
and is the famed feeding grounds
of countless caribou; and the pro
moters of the scheme believe that a
large reindeer herd will find sup
port in this section of the country.
All of the material, consisting
mostly of wire for fences, is al
ready on the ground and the fences
will be completed during the sum
mer. The big stockade will be
ready for the reindeer herd which
will be driven over next fall.
To encourage reindeer farming
in Alaska, the government will let
reindeer farmers have the nucleus
of a herd on most liberal terms.
It is belived that the usual pro
cedure followed is that government
herds arc loaned to prospective
herdsmen, who are allowed to keep
the increase to the herd and pay
for the original herds in small in
stalments. A special branch of the
department of agriculture has been
treated to handle the reindeer ques
tion in Alaska.

Dr. de la Vergne, who has sev
ered his connection with the Alas
kan Engineering- commission, left
this morning on the Burgess auto
for Fairbanks, where he intends to
practice his profession in future.
His Fairbanks offices are in the First
National Bank block. He expects to
devote some of his time to hospital
work in the upper town.
Dr. delaVergne arrived in Ne
nana on June 25, 1918, to fill the
position in the A. E. C. hospital
rendered vacant by the promotion
of Dr. David More to the chief sur
geoncy, consequent on the departure
of Dr. Malcolm E. Smith for mili
tary service.
By his genial manner and sterling
qualities. Dr. de la Vergne made a
host of friends in Nenana who,
while regretting his departure from
the'r midst, extend their best wishes
for his success in the new sphere
of labor he has chosen.
