FLIES OUT FROM
M’GRATH, SAYS
PRICE IS STEEP
OLD TIMER ON WAY TO STATES
FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
IN ALASKA SINCE 1896
“It was a fine and a quick trip, but
the price is a little too high.’’ H. Y.
Grochong, oldtimer from the interior
stated to a Gatewaay representative
with reference to his recent trip by
airplane out from McGrath to Fair
banks, which trip was made in four
and a half hours. Mr. Groshong was
in Seattle two years ago receiving
optical treatment and is going back
again this time to complete the treat
ment and come back to Alaska next
spring. During his stay in Seward
he is a guest of the Van Gilder. He
sails Sunday for Seattle.
“This fall there will be all the way
from 50 to 60 residents in the Mc
Grath district who will come out by
the airplane route,” continued Mr.
Groshong, “but owing to the present
standard of prices charged, many will
be forced to come out over the snow
trail, which will require about 12
days, providing the present prices
are still in force. However as anoth
er airplane company will shortly en
ter the field it is believed prices will
be lowered. We appreciate the fact
there is considerable hazard attached
to commercial flying in the interior,
j especially when making landings,
i but even so. about a dollar a minute
| seems to be quite steep.”
Scarcity of Water.
In recent years for some unknown
reason, there has been a shortage of
water throughout the district, Mr.
Groshong stated. Where once the
ground was very wet and rain fell
profusely during the season, it is now
quite the reverse. This has hampered
mining operations to a great extent,
and has discouraged many. There is
quite a lot of inactive ground in the
region. Mr. Groshong has been oper
ating on Birch Gulch, a tributary to
Nixon Forks, Tokotna, for the last
eight years. His ground is located
approximately SO miles from McGrath,
which is the nearest trading center.
Mr. Groshong said today that he
has not spent a winter outside since
1896, but has been to the States since
that time, the last time he was out
being two years ago.
Among the big operators in his dis
trict is Vic Mathews, who with a crew
of about ten men is installing a hy
draulic outfit on his Hidden creek
claims. Just abaout the time Mr
Groshong was leaving Mathews was
bringing in a bunch of pipe. Mathews
has also started sluicing down th(
sides of the ground, getting it ir
shape prior to turning the plant on.
A ten stamp mill is being operatec
by Ed Whalen at Nixon, on property
leased from the Treadwell company
lie has a crew of about eight men oi
the job.
The hard rock men, John Strand am
Charles Pearson, are in very rich ore
some of which is said to run 84.001
to the ton. They are doing a grea
deal of development work this sprini
and it is reported they are aw-aitini
the arrival of a mining representative
from the States with a view of dispos
ing of their claims.

Reduce the High Cost of Motoring
With A Tire that Has a Reputation

Uninterrupted Service!
You can’t get it with pneumatic tires no
matter how much you pay. You dt get it
with Lambert “Trublpruf” Tires from the day
you put them on till they have gone ten.
twenty and often thirty thousand miles.
For motor truck and commercial car operators
we have some figures on low tire cost that
will prove a revelation.
Glad to present them any time.
