RUMBLE REPORTS MOVEMENT
OF WRECKS; DEPTH BOMBS
ARE USED
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (£>)—'Vast
treasures now reposing at the bot
tom of the ocean may be salvaged
as the result of a discovery made by
the Coast Geodetic Survey. It was
learned today. While experimenting
with a hydrophone, which is a de
I vice used uo lecord the discharge of
j depth bombs, Lieut. Commander T.
J. Maher of the Survey accidentally
discovered the presence Ol a sunken
ship near the mouth of the Columbia
River. A queer rumble recorded by
the hydrophone disclosed the move
ment of the wreck on its bed ui sand
at the bottom of the sea. Efforts will
be made to reclaim the sunken ves
sel. If successful the hydrophone will
be used to locate sunken vessels long
since passed to Davey Jones Locker.

ROAD ACTIVITIES
ARE DESCRIBED
By Special Correspondence
Trail construction and the placing
of means for crossing the Kahiltna
valley including Granite creek, the
Kahiltna river where it emerges from
the glacial morraine, Lake creek and
Sunflower creek, will this season un
lock this extensive placer region to
the prospector and larger mining op
erators.
The work is being done by the Al
aska Road Commission.
With a crew of four men Ben H.
Grier as foreman, is cutting fifteen
miles of trail from the Yentna river
at a point just below the Clearwater,
to lower Mills creek. From that point
the trail will extend north and by C.
J. Lincke’s camp on Cottonwood and
eventually connect with the old pack
trail used twenty years ago to take
supplies from Youngstown to Cache
Creek. This will give access to Mills,
Twin, Big and Little Bowlder, Big
Skookum, Chicago and Wagner gulch
\
es, Cottonwood creek, Pass creek and
all that region lying north and west
along Camp creek and Sunflower
creek at a point opposite the mouth
of Pass creek, the trail will lead to
within a short distance of Chelantna
Lake, crosing Lake creek abouta mile
below the lake, and then continue !
eastward across the Kahiltna valley
and emerge at the southern extremity
of the Dutch hills, at what is known ;
as the Barrenberg camp on Little Dol-:
lar creek. From that point it is ap
proximately eight miles to the Cache
creek dredge camp, where connection
is made with the trail and road lead
ing to Talkeetna.
The cables and footbridges across
the several streams will enable min
ers in the Fairview district to keep
into communication with the Cache
Creek camps, and also to go and come
at any season instead of as at pre
sent having their lives endangered by
wading the swift streams.
l He trail follows the old blazing
of many years ago from the mouth
of the Clearwater to what is known
as the last landing on the Clear
water, where the pioneers of tie
Fairview district abandoned poling up
the Clearwater to take the trail.
From that point, the trail takes the
ridge farther eastward, to avoid the
steep grades in the old blazes.
This avenue of ingress and egress
is being cut out to accommidate
double-enders, and makes it pos
sible to transport machinery up the
Yentna by boat and land it within
fifteen miles of the first proven
creek in the district. It will also
enable operators to land their non
perishajble supplies at the mouth
of the Clearwater in the fall and
enter the district by dog sled .via
Talkeetna and sled in their supplies
1 to points of operation.
A commodious shelter cabin has
been erected at the Yetna end of
the trail and another will be built
half way to Fairview mountain.
GUS GELLIS LEAVES
Gus Gellis, president of the Alaska
Glacier Tours, left for Lawing this
morning where he will meet the party
of four men whom he sent down to
Russian river the first of the week.
It is expected they will return to Sew
ard this evening, via the Kenai lake
highway.
