Nick Borovieh, who has been pros
pectin? on six below bench, Ester
creek, during the past several
months, is reported to have located
good pay and is now preparing1 to
open up the ground on a large scale.
He already has 200 cords of wood
on the ground, and a plant, and he
will put a big crew of men to work
as soon as he can get ready for
them.
The claim has been worked be
fore, but the results obtained did
not indicate the presence of pay in
sufficient quantities to justify fur
ther operations. It was thought the
ground would not pay under exist
ing conditions. As a result of this
belief, the discovery of Borovieh is
very much of a surprise to old
timers.
Jens P. Larson and Ted Julian,
both of Seattle, arrived at the Can
von roadhouse last night enroutc
to Xenana.

COAL IS MOVING
ON H TODAY
TO BRANCH LINE
me wurx in delivering coai at
North N'enana for use on the Gov
ernment railroad between Nenana
and Fairbanks, was started today,
two teams and the Conradt auto
truck having begun this morning to '
move fuel from the new bunkers on
the railroad reserve.
The coal is from the Broad Pass
Coal & Development company’s mine
on Lignite creek, which has already
supplied the commission with 3.000
tons of coal for use in the N'enana
| power plant and along the main line
!south of Xenana. The coal which
jstarted moving across the river to
jday is the first of a 2,000-ton con
tract, awarded several days ago.
I The delivery of coal from the
'Lignite mine, first to the railroad,
] south of N'enana, and now to the
terminus at N'orth N'enana, has ne
cessitated the development of se
• eral special appliances to reduce the
cost of handling the fuel. Sleighs
with special boxes are used in the
haul from the mine to the railroad,
land a hoist and special skip are j
used to load the cars, all of which
is done very cheaply and rapidly.
But the haul across the Tanana
river required an entirely different
rig, and some delay was experi
enced in perfecting the equipment,
I which was given its first tryout to
,day. A large box was mounted on
the truck, on small wheels and a
track, a rig that was invented for
;the occasion. And special boxes
also were mounted on the two bob
• sleighs which are working with the
.truck. Another and perhaps sev
eral more sleighs will be put on the
run within the next few days, should
| |
! their use be necessary to keep the j
bunkers clear.
! Pres lent R. W. Calderhead. who
is in town superintending the deliv
|ery on the opposite side of the
river, savs he hopes to be able to
i
fill the contract in ten days or two
.weeks. He knows the man can sup
ply the coal fast enough to do it, :
and the success with which the rigs
on thus end are working today in
dicates that no difficulty will be
experienced in keeping up with the
mine output.

There will be a regular meeting j
iof the Xenana Commercial club in
the Union building tonight for the I
transaction of routine business and
the consideration of several matters
of special importance to the district.
All members of the organization
are urged to be on hand. The meet-'
:ing will start promptly at eight;
o’clock. i

LIPMAN SIMSON, Prop. "
! The Brower-Sheldon race, which
I began several days ago at Chitina,
ended this morning, when Brower
reached Fairbanks with his mail out
fit, drawn by horses instead of gaso
line-propelled as he had expected to
finish. Sheldon was at Salcha this
momin, also horse-drawn, but it is
uncertain when he will reach town,
as his stock is said to be about
played out. Fairbanksans expect to
see the Sheldon passengers mush
into town if they get there any
way soon.
| Tom Gibson started out the trail
jWith two autos yesterday, intending
to meet Sheldon at the fox farm,
but he found trail conditions so
bad he abandoned the trip at the
Xine-miie roadhouse and returned
to town. That left Sheldon without
a means of transferring hi- pass
lengers and he was compelled to push
•on with his severely-tried stock.
Brower landed two passengers anil
a shipment of second class mail.

EXCURSIONISTS BACK;
REPORT BUSY OUTING
The train arriving from Fairbanks
this morning brought back to Xe
nana practically all the excursionists
who journeyed to the upper town
on Tuesday to celebrate St. Pat
rick’s day for the benefit of the
Fairbanks hospital. Without excep
tion, they report a very enjoyable
outing, and are loud in their praises
of the hospitality of Fairbanksans.
They say the hospital entertainment
was one of the biggest things the
town hhs seen in many days.
Miss Leota Scott, who returned
from Fairbanks today, reports that
she lost three pounds while in the
upper town. She failed to state
whether they were troy, avoirdupois
or sterling, but it is presumed they
. were the same three pounds she
; gained while on her recent visit
I to the canyon.
