PROGRESS OF

Thomas D. Jensen of Nome, rep
resentative of the Second division at
the last legislature, who is on his
way to Juneau, where he will attend
the meeting of the Territorial Game
Commission, of which he is a mem
ber, arrived in Seward last night
from the Interior.
Mr. Jensen made the trip out from
Nome with the mail, stopping at
Ruby and other points en route, hav
ing “been approximately 30 days on
the trail. Traveling condition were
good, he says, with the exception of
the stretch .between Ruby and Tan

trail practically all af the way. He
spent Christmas at Ruby.
Nome is enjoying prosperity, said
Representative Jensen. The United
Smelting dredges, which were most
placed in operation until August
owing to lack of thawed ground,
worked until the middle of Novem
ber and, according to all reports,
made an especially good showing.
The outstanding feature of they ear’s
work, he states, was a demonstra
tion that the cold water method of
thawing was entirely successful, so
successful, in fact, that the prob
lem of thawing has ben satisfac
torily solved. This, he believes, is
far reaching and vital to develop
ment of the northern placers, as ic
may be the means of opening up to
dredging vast stretches of workable
placer ground existing between the
lower Yukon and Fairbanks dis
trict.
Speaking of game and fur, Mr.'
Jensen states that this year has been
a disappointment on the lower Yu

Ruby, one of the oldtime mail car
riers of that section. Nothing could
hold the team, says Mr. Jensen,
who believes that it will go down
as his 'fastest ride. 'The team, which
was ibred as an experiment by Mr.
Derrick, seems to have proven a
successful adaption to northern
trails, with the only fruit that it is
quite hard to handle and can only
be driven by an experienced trail
man.
Ruby and other points along the
Yukon appear active this winter.
Whils awaiting the departure of
the steamer Victoria, Mr. Jensen is
a guest at the Van Gilder hotel.
