PUMPHOUSE FIRE
DOES SMALL DAMAGE
Shortly before the noon hour to
day the fire bell and siren called
I the town and Commission fire de
partments out to a small blaze at
the pump house on the waterfront.
- : Both departments responded to
— j the cal! promptly and the blaze was
soon put out. About twenty-five
dollars or so will cover the damage
] done to the floor and wall of the
pump house.
A spark from the piledriver which
, is working near the foot of A stre;t
is thought to have caused the blaze.
The sun on longer days will make
you feel like throwing away your
I old hat and suit. Certainly those
old spots do not improve your ap
pearance, but fo- a trifling sum you
can have them pressed, mended and
cleaned at Mrs. D’Orsay’s Tailor

ELEVATED TRACK
BEING COMPLETED
IN NENANA YARD
All of the piling necessary for the
| elevated track in the Nenana yard
■ for the unloading of coal shipments
have now been driven, and workmen
j are now busily engaged in putting
i in the sway braces and stringers,
preparatory to laying track on it.
Seventy-pound rails are being
used for stringers, owing to the
shortage of this class of material,
and the ties and track will be laid
on just as soon as the men are
through with the work of laying
the stringers and bracing the struc
ture.
The work is being rushed to com
pletion, owing to the fact that the
Burns mine is now not so very far
away from the end of steel and coal
shipments will be brought into town
from this mine immediately after
the rails reach there. There is a
large quantity of coal ready for
instant shipment at the Bunrs mine,
and the mine owners can always get
out more coal than can be hauled
daily.
The Commission officials figure on
getting a large reserve stock of coal
in the Nenana yards from the
Burns mine, which will be unloaded
on each side of the elevated track,
and before the breakup occurs it
is quite likely that the entire 5,000
tons contracted for, or more, will
be brought to town.
The officials of the A. E. C. be
lieve that through traffic on the
ra.’rcad beyond the Crossing, will
be interrupted, as the ice will
probably damage the bridge across
the river at that point.
In view of this possibility every
effort is being put forth to reach
the coal field in the quickest possible
time and commence hauling the pro
duct of the Burns mine to Nenana.
POPULAR YOUNG LADY
IS LEAVING NENANA
Mrs. Katherine Sholseth, stenog
rapher at the timekeeping office of
the A. E. and cashier of the
Coliseum, has resigned her positions
and will leave for Fairbanks on
Monday morning.
Mrs. Sholseth came to N'enana
from Fairbanks during the earlv
summer of last year and was first
employed on Mr. W. A. Ryan’s staff
in compiling the inventory taken of
the physical property of the A E.
C., from which position she was
selected to fill the stenographic
position in the chief timekeeper’s
office.
During her stay in N'enana she
has made a great many friends who
will greatly regret her departure.
Mrs. L. W. Hill, formerly a clerk
in the store department, has been
selected to fill the vacancy in the
timekeeping department, while Miss
Helyn Protzman will fill the position
of cashier at the Coliseum.
Mrs. Sholseth’s departure is
necessitated by events connected
with the foundering of the Princess
Sophia, and perhaps she may return
later on.

JUDGE BUNNEL
BACK FROM TRIP
10 COAL FIELDS
District Judge Charles E. Bunnell,
J who is on a visit to Nenana and the
surrounding district, returned to
town on the train last night from
a trip to the Lignite country.
The judge arrived in Nenana last
j Sunday evening, traveling the river
trail on Butler’s dog stage. He left
j Nenana on last Monday’s train for
the end of steel, in company with
Commissioner R. S. McDonald, mush
ing to the Burns mine from this
point. Mr. McDonald returned to
town the same evening.
While in the Lignite country, the
judge made the Singleton roadhouse
his headquarters, “and visited poirA
of interest in that neighborhood.
He was shoWn around the Burns
mine and had an opportunity to see
the work done so far and also to
view actual mining operations.
He also made a trip up Lignite
creek, the mouth of which is about
a mile beyond Singleton's road
house, going up the creek for a
distance of about six miles. He
viewed the many coal outcroppings
that so plentifully occur along both
sides of the creek, and was much
struck with the looks of the big
veins that show up boldly on the
hillside near the headwaters of the
stream. The judge remarked that
those veins looked very big to him.
The entire trip, including the ra’l
journey, was very interesting to
him and he stated that he greatly
enjoyed it.
As the term of court in Fair
banks does not commence for some
time to come and there is no busi
ness of importance for the present,
the judge will remain in Nenana
for a few days more, ere returning
to the upper town.
FA1RBANKSANS WILL

Word has been received locally

Nenana early on Saturday after
noon.

CORDOVA—For nine years Jo
seph Ibach and his wife have been
the sole residents of Middleton
Island, about sixty miles from here
Recently they came to Cordova with
100 blue fox skins valued at ap
proximately $10,000, representing
the fruits of one year’s work on a
spot of land never visited by any
one except the crew of the power
schooner that takes supplies to the
Ibachs and brings them to the coast.
The Ibachs never find time drag
ging on their hands. Feeding of
their foxes alone is a considerable
task, as each animal requires two
and a half pounds of fish daily.
With 150 foxes on the island, the
work of supplying sufficient fish
daily for them is formidable in
itself. Seal meat and vegetables:
are also fed to the foxes, the vege- j
tables raised by the Ibachs.
In summer time the Ibachs some
times add much to their Income by
panning the sands of the beach for
gold dust.

vaging gang under Foreman Fred
