! PIONEER IS HERE
The George Black steamer Pio
jneer arrived from Fairbanks dur
ing the night with a cargo of sup
plies and a number of men enroute
to Roosevelt, in the Kantishna dis
trict; where road building operations
will be inaugurated by the Alaska
Road commission immediately upon
the arrival of the outfit at its des
ignation. The road building crew
• consists of seven men, all of them
joldtimers of the Fairbanks district
!and several of them until recently
: employed by the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission. They will receive
iS5 per day and board from the
'time they left Fairbanks until they
! return.
The Kantishna work will be con
| fined chiefly, it is understood, to a
'stretch of road about eight miles
*in length, out from Roosevelt, which
at present is impassable. This will
be corduroyed and enough addi
tional work done to put the road in
condition for next summer.
The road extends from Roosevelt
to Moose creek, a distance of 30
miles, and was used • during the
winter for hauling ore from the
Aitken silver mine to the river land
ing at Roosevelt. The road was
built originally by Road Commis
sioner Sheldon, with territorial
funds, and considerable additional
work was done by Ed Bartlett, who
j had the ore hauling contract.
The work now contemplated will
be done under the supervision of
the Alaska Road commission, with
federal funds, the sum of $10,000
being available for the enterprise.
Ed Bartlett will have charge of the
I work.
Col. Steese, chairman of the com
mission, left for the Kantishna yes
terday in the Sutherland launch, to
make a survey of conditions and
I outline the work, after which he
will return to Nenana and look over
,the proposed road which is to con
nect the Kantishna district with the
; Government railroad. He was ac
companied to Roosevelt by R. J.
Sommers and Ed Bartlett, both of
whom will remain in the district for
some time, the former to map the
district for the commission and the
latter to direct the road work.

ROCK CONTRACTOR
SAYS WORK SOUTH
MOVING FAST NOW
Grading operations in Nenana
canyon are progressing in a most
| satisfactory manner, according to'
J. H. Russell, who arrived in town
on yesterday’s train from the end
of steel, south of Nenana. Mr
Russell is interested in a contract
in the Kestly residency, a short dis
tance beyond the end of steel, and
reports that he and his associates
will have their section of the grade
completed during the coming week
and they have reason to believe
their work will net them a very
substantial sum.
Mr. Russell says that work is now
in progress for a distance of ap
proximately thirty miles south of
the end of steel, and that all the
stationmen appear to be well satis
fied with the conditions under which
they are working, -with the excep
tion, possibly, of climatic condi
tions, which are not agreeable at
all times. He says there is abso
lutely no truth to the report that
contractors are throwing up their
contracts. On the contrary, he de
clares, most of those now engaged
in work will take new contracts as
soon as they are at liberty to do so.
The work was held back consider
ably by the flu epidemic, but in
spite of the interruption, Mr. Rus
jsell says, a vast amount of rock has
'been moved, the magnitude of the
work being easily apparent to the
most casual observer. Big outfits
are scattered all along the right of
way, south of Healy, and most of
the stationmen are experienced and
hard workers.
The work was given considerable
impetus recently by the arrival of
additional equipment, in the shape
of rails and cars for use in the
cuts. There was a shortage of such
equipment during the winter and
early spring and a number of the
outfits were seriously handicapped in
i
j consequence.
Pete Jepson and “associates, who
.have a contract on the Kestly resi
dency, are preparing to set off a
big shot within the next day or
two. They have been working on
coyote holes during the past couple
of months, and are ready now to
put in a charge of ten tons of ex
plosive.
Bob Sabanoff and associates
should be through with their work
in about a month; the Herman Mag
nussen outfit probably will be fin
ished in a couple of months, and
Victor Young and associates have
| about three months’ work ahead of
them.
Mr. Russell is going to Fair-:
banks this week to look after some
annual labor on property which he
owns in the Fairbanks district.
