CHAIM MEARS
TO STATE PLANS
In a statement made at Fairbanks
Saturday evening, Chairman Mears
said that he would make known
the Interior plans of the commis
sion after he had returned to Xe
nana and conferred with Engineer
in Charge Fred’k D. Browne. He
said further that the number of
men to be retained on the payrolls
probably would depend largely upon
the supplies which Mr. Browne has
available. If the bill passes in its
original form and supplies are to
be had. he intimated that work
would be pushed on an enlarged
scale, greater than has been hereto
fore contemplated.
Both Colonel Mears and Mr. Hal
lowell were elated when they learn
ed of the passage of the measure,
without opposition, and both believe
that the measure will go through
the senate also without difficulty.

AITKEN OUTFIT
IS ENROUTE TO
THE KANIISHNA
—
The steamer Shusana, with a
barge in tow, and two gasoline
boats, which arrived at the Xenana
!
! waterfront from Fairbanks on Sat
urday afternoon, enroute to Roose
'velt, in the Kantishna district, with
■ supplies for the continuation of de
velopment work on the Aitken gale
jna properties, resumed the voyage
yesterday morning, after haring
taken on considerable additional
j cargo here. The flotilla will go di
jreet to Roosevelt, returning from
| that point to the mouth of the Tolo
Ivana river for another load.
It is the intention of Mr. Aitken
to land approximately 200 tons at
Roosevelt before the close of navi
gation, enough to permit of the con
tinuation of development work with
an enlarged force throughout the
■winter. The force will number at
ileast fifteen men.
i
j The development work, on the
| scale, planned for the coming win
ter, will necessitate the employment
of a freight outfit of considerable
size, to move supplies from the
i
iriver station to the mine and ore
| from the mine to Roosevelt. This
'work will be taken in hand by Ed
Bartlett, who plans to use about
! fifteen head of stock. Four horses
iwere sent in on the Shusana. in
i charge of Pat Irish, and the others
iwill be driven across country. A
shipment of feed for the stock will
be taken on board at Tolovana.
The decision of Mr. Aitken to
develop the galena properties on a
j comprehensive scale marks the com
mencement of a new era for the
Kantishna country, which has long
awaited the coming of capital to
'put the properties on a producing
■ basis. With one property pro
ducing, it :: argued, it will not be a
difficult matter to secure backing
for the many other propositions
: which are awaiting development. In
fact, it is confidently believed by
: those familiar with Kantishna con
ditions that the district will soon be
the scene of great activity, with an
i influx of people rivaling the stam
ipede of earlier days, when thou
sands were attracted to the district
by the discovery of rich placers.
The action of Mr. Aitken in tak
ing over the Quigley property and
! commencing active development
work already has revived interest
j in the district, . and considerable
prospecting is now in progress.

wearing a broad smile today, in con
sequence of the passage of the
Curry railroad bill, and incidentally
he is smoking a new pipe and pos
sesses a new tobacco pouch, the
‘gifts of two of his friends who
almost lost considerable money on
the congressional action,
j It came about this way: “Mac”
I was so sure the bill would be ap
proved without delay, that he of
fered to bet a substantial sum that
! Congress would act favorably on
:the measure before the close of the
present session, early in December,
and he almost secured a couple of>
takers. The pipe and tobacco pouch

ciation of his good judgment and;
