WEATHER TURNAGAIN ARM
MOST WONDERFUL IN YEARS
Fred Johnston, who runs on the lo
cal freight, reports Turnagain Arm
absolutely clear of ice and boats mak
ing the run from the railroad to Sun
rise. This is something beyond the
knowledge of the oldest inhabitant.
The weather along the Arm has been j
bright and sunny and so little snow
has fallen that tie cutters are unable
to get their ties out of the woods.
Good program at the Liberty.
ROAD CONDITIONS
IN KUSKOKWIM ARE
DWELLED UPON
Speaking of road construction in
the lower river country last season
The Alaska Road Commission, a re
cent visitor in Seward reported a very
good summer road was built leading
northerly from Medfra, across the
low benches of the Kuskokwim val
ley for about six miles and then
climbing over the Nixon watershed.
'Since the Alaska Treadwell Gold
Mining Company gave up their option
and pulled out in the summer of
1923, little freight has been moved
over the road which is now used
mostly for winter freighting of sup
plies to the placer workings on Hid
den Creek and Mystery Creek and
other quartz prospects in the dis
trict.
The owners of the Nixon mine
leased the mills from the Alaska ,
Treadwell Company and, according
to The Gateway report, did very well (
last winter having taken about $100,- ■
000 at a comparative small cost. ,
However, it was stated no extensive
development work is being planned. «
At the present time this road is ,
in very bad repair and said to be ■
almost impassable for team or wag- ,
on. The bridges are also in bad <
repair. Owing to the fact that the
district is most promising, due to
the quartz showing, and with the
definite knowledge that the Nixon
Quartz Mine company has produced 1
many thousands of dollars, and that 1
several other and smaller placer
properties nearby are producing year
ly fairly good money it is believed 1
The Alaska Road Commission will
step in and assist the region in put- (
ting the roads in good shape.
