down river at the urgent request
of Foreman Abe McKinnon, who
apparently has found difficulty in
getting a suitable crew together
for the road repair work to be done
i in that district.

EXPERTS LEAVE
Fi KANIISHNA
TO SEE LEDGES
Representatives of the Alaska
Treadwell Mining company, equip
ped for a several weeks’ stay in
the hills, were among the passen
gers leaving town for the end of
steel on last night's train, headed
for the Kantishna district, where
i they will investigate a number of
hard rock properties in various
stages of development. The Kan
t’shna party consists of Liv.igstone
tV enecks, geologist representative
of the Alaska Treadwell and Alaska
Jur.eau companies, on Gastineau
channel; Thomas G. McDonald, min
ing engineer and advance agent of
the Treadwell company, and W R.
Taylor and Elmer Babcock, both old
timers of the Kantishna district, who
will accompany the experts as guides
for the purpose of showing them
over the district.
Six horses, brought down from
Fairbanks several days ago, were
taken along for the use of the
party, as saddle and pack animals,
and the camp stores included suffi
cient provisions to last several weeks.
The outfit went to the Crossing on
the train, from which point the
pack-train will make its start for
the Kantishna.
It is the policy of Treadwell rep
resentatives not to say much about
any plans they may have for the
acquisition and development of
properties, and Mr. VVernecke is not
a rule-breaker. He admitted to a
representative of The News, how
ever, when interviewed at the Coon
ey hotel yesterday afternoon, that
his company has some idle mining
machinery and equipment in South
eastern Alaska which it would like
to put to work, and that his object
in coming to Central Alaska is for
the purpose of investigating prop
erties which await development. “We
are not on a prospecting trip.” he
said. “We have no time to look for
ore bodies, but we are here to ex
amine properties already located,
provided we can get at the ledges
without too much trouble. The pros
pector must have done his part of
the work, before he can interest
us.”
Questioned as to the kind of prop
ositions sought by the Treadwell
company, Mr. Wemecke said the
company did not care to become in
terested in copper properties, and
was not prepared to consider placer
propositions, ha%dng no placer equip
ment at the present time.
Transportation also has a bearing
on the investigations of the Tread
well representatives. For instance,
were it not for the fact that the
Government is now engaged in build
ing a railroad, it would be impossi
ble to interest the Treadwell com
pany in any of the Kantishna propo
sitions, however promising they
might be. They want an outlet
to the coast, by the shortest and
quickest route possible, and should
they decide to take up any of the
propositions that may be open now
in the Kantishna, it will be both
because of the railway work now
under way and the assurance that
wagon road and spur line feeders
will be constructed later.
‘‘Contrary to the genera! belief,
the Treadwell company is not inter
ested in big propositions to the ex
clusion of all others,” said Mr. Wer
necke. “We. of course, do not care
to bother about very small ledges,
which can be worked to better ad
vantage by two or three partners;
but a proposition, to interest us,
! need not necessarily be great in
: size. If it is large enough to take
care of the overhead, it is large
enough to interest its, provided it
comes up to our other require
ments.”
Mr. Wernecke did not care to
say anything about the properties
they will look at in the Kantishna,
but it is understood that a number
of propositions are awaiting inves
tigation, owners of property being
prepared to quote reasonable terms
in order to get the Treadwell com
pany interested in the district.
The Kantishna trip, it is expected,
will consume about two weeks, and
after the experts are through in
there, they will come out by way of
Moreno’s, probably, and cross over
to the coast, by way of Broad pass.
A short stay is to be made in the
Talkeetna district, where some in
vestigations will be made.
Mr. Wernecke is a very import
ant personage on the Treadwell staff,
and also on that of the Alaska Ju
neau company. His word is law
regarding the value of a property,
and it is will depend entirely upon
his verdict whether or not the
Treadwell company enters the Kan
tishna. He has been with the com
pany during the past six years.
Both Mr. Wernecke and Mr. Mc
Donald are oldtimers in Alaska. The
former came North with the Klon
dike rush, being at the time only
15 years old. But he did not stay.
He followed the advice of the man
with whom he made the trip into
the country and returned to the
States to finish his education, gradu
ating some years later with a thor
ough knowledge of mineralogy and
engineering. He came North again
after finishing college and assisted
in the construction of the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad.
Mr. McDonald was located in the
Hot Springs for a time several years
ago, where he did some mining. He
also has been with the Treadwell
company for a number of years, in
the capacity of engineer, and on the
present invasion of Interior Alaska
he came in ahead of the rest of
the party for the purpose of gather
ing information about the country
and getting propositions in shape for
the investigation of the geologist.
Mr. F. W. Bradley, president of
the Alaska Treadwell, made the trio
as far as Fairbanks, from which
point he returned to the coast by
way of the Richardson trail, start
ing out several days ago.
President Bradley, according to
Mr. Wernecke, predicts a heavy
tourist traffic over the Government
railroad as soon as the ends of steel
have been connected and there is
the assurance of uninterrupted com
munication between Nenana and the
coast. Tourists, believes the mining
man, will avail themselves of the
opportunity to get a ‘close glimpse
of Mt. McKinley, and many of them
will come in by way or the river
and return to the coast by way of
the railroad.
