BANKS SAWMILL
GETTING READY
ion WORK
After many weeks of irritating de
lay, resulting from the difficulty in
driving sawlogs down Goldstream,
the Banks sawmill, near Camp 432,
on the X'enana-Fairbanks line, is
about ready to commence sawing. ]
and it is expected that it will be
kept busy during the remainder of
the season turning out ties and tim
bers for the Alaskan Engineering j
commission. The owner of the out
fit has a contract of considerable
size and has been occupied prac
tically all summer getting logs to
the mill.
The work of driving logs down
Goldstream was a difficult and dis
couraging task. Owing to the small
size of the stream and the number
of obstructions along the banks,
such as snags and sweepers. Twice
during the summer it was found
necessary to clear the stream, the
second clearing having been made
necessary by a change in the water
i level.
; The first drive, which started
many weeks ago. was completed
early this week with the delivery
of about a third of the season's cut
at the mill. The remainder of the
logs, it is believed, can be driven
with much less difficulty, although
there is the danger that the water
will drop considerably as the season
advances.
Arrivals from Goldstream bring
the report that preparations are now
being made to start the mill, and
sawing may commence within the
next few days. The Banks contract
calls for the delivery of about 150,
000 board feet of timbers and 20,
000 ties.

MORRISON INVESTS MONEY
IN ICE-MAKING MACHINE
According to information receiv
ed from Fort Worth, Texas, George
L. Morrison, former Hot Springs
merchant, has become interested in
an enterprise which is engaged in
manufacturing moderate-priced ice
making machines, and is very en
thusiastic over the outlook for the
industry. Some of the literature of
the concern was received recently
by friends of Morrison in the Hot
; Springs district.
BIG EXCURSION
TO ENO OF LINE
COMING EVENT
The people of Nenana probably
will have the opportunity soon to
enjoy a ride to the end of steel,
south of town, as the guests of the
! Alaskan Engineering commission,
[and the suggestion that a barbecue
be arranged in connection with the
excursion is now receiving enthusi
astic consideration.
The whole proposition will be laid
before the Commercial club at the
regular semi-monthly meeting of
that organization tonight, with a
request that the club take the mat
ter in hand and arrange the neces
sary details.
The roadbed between Nenana and
the Crossing is now in splendid con- j
aition and the work of surfacing
the grade beyond the river is pro
ceeding rapidly, with the assurance j
that it will be sufficiently advanced
by the end of another week to
insure a comfortable ride the entire
length of the road. Satisfactory ar
rangements, it is believed, could be
made with the proprietors of the
Singleton roadhouse for the barbe
cue, at the end of steel, and the
excursionists could spend a delight-!
ful day there, taking in the nearby
points of interest, including the
Burns coal mine and the main line
extension toward the canyon.
The Commercial club arranged a
very successful excursion to the
Crossing last spring, but it is prob
able that the plans for the Lignite
; excursion will be arranged on a
much more elaborate scale, so as to
include the ladies.
