Conditions generally are quite bad
in Seattle at the present time, and
a general slump in prices through
out the country is predicted, accord
ing to YV. R. Taylor, Kantishna min
ing man, who arrived in Nenana on
' Saturday direct from the States by
(way of Broad Pass.
The suspension of shipbuilding ac
tivities in Seattle, Mr. Taylor said,
threw thousands of men out of em
ployment, both skilled and common
labor, and there appears to be r.o'(
immediate prospect of their absorp
tion into other lines. There are no
i
ships under construction at Seattle
at the present time and none are in,
sight.
The fact that the banks in Pacific
coast cities and elsewhere through
out the country are calling in loans
is regarded as indicating that a
change for the worse in general con
ditions is anticipated, and it is be
lieved the first result of the action
of the banks will be an unloading
;of stock, in order that obligations
may be met, and a consequent low
ering of prices.
, As a matter of fact, Mr. Taylor
says, many Outsiders are predicting
hard times in the States, followed
I by a gradual return to normal con
ditions. Money is already very
tight on the coast and the number
f of idle men is growing larger
steadily. A substantial break in
prices is expected almost any time.
Sugar was quoted at 26 cents a
pound when Mr. Taylor left Seattle
;on June 1.
The Alaskan Engineering commis
sion is doing considerable advertis
ing in Seattle in an effort to get men
to work on the railroad, and Mr.
; Taylor is of the opinion that work
j ers will be plentiful within a few
i weeks. Quite a number of men left
! Seattle on the boat which brought
him to Seward, most of them having

signed on with the commission. But
many of them dropped of enroute.
The boat leaving Seattle a few days
later was to have brought 700 rail
road workers.
Notwithstanding the arrival of
many men at Seward and Anchor
ige thus far this summer, all the
tamps along the line, on the coast
tnd, are running shorthanded and
;he men who are working are not
iatisfied with conditions, the low
tommission wages being the chief
source of complaint. There appear
0 be two gangs on the road all the
ime—one going to work and the
>ther leaving it.
Slides along the completed sec-'
ion of the road north of Anchor
ige are giving considerable trouble
ind causing delay. Two of the
lides are quite large and mill re- j
iuire considerable work before
rains can be sent out to the end
if steel. A steam-shovel is at work
it one of them, at Mile 236.
Notwithstanding these delays, how
ever, commission officials claim that
teel will be laid to Deadhorse in
December, and Mr. Taylor believes
t can be done all right, if suffi
ient men are available for the
cork.
Considerable difficulty is being ex
■erienced in getting supplies to the
amps beyond the end of steed, and
1 hen Mr. Taylor came along, pro-.
isions were running very low. In
act, they had been out of many
hings for some time and complaints
cere numerous.
For a distance of about IS miles
n the south slope of the summit
he trail is covered with snow from
ne to five feet deep and the trav
ling, in consequence, is very diffi
u!t just now. Swollen streams com
licated matters greatly. Mr. Tay

Turn Liayloek is ia Texas at the

to the effect that he invested heavi
ly but not wisely in oil stocks.
Bud MeCrae was in Seattle and
was thinking of coming back to
Alaska, although he had not fully
made up his mind.
Jimmy Funchion was in Seattle
getting an outfit together prepara
tory to returning to the Chandlar
country, where he spent last sum
mer prospecting. Bud Saum is al
ready in the Chandlar, it is re
ported.
Mr. Taylor left Anchorage with
two companions, but one of them
left the party at one of the camps j
on the coast side of the summit.
The other, George Wagner, came on
through to the end of steel.
Mr. Taylor left for Fairbanks.
