LONG DREDGING
SEASON CANDLE
CREEK, REPORT
H. C. WELCH, SUPERINTENDENT
KUSKOKWIM DREDGING CO
SAYS SEASON FINE
TRAIL WAS IN GOOD SHAPE
Work Laid Out for Two Years in Ad
vance—Crew Employed Composed
of Local Residents
Running short of wood for the big
dredge on Candle Creek, necessitated
closing down operations November 8,
but even so, the past season marked
the longest ever experienced by the
Kuskokwim Dredging Co., announced
H. C. Welch, superintendent for the
company, who passed through Sew
ard the first of the week en route to
the San Francisco office. Operations
began May 17, he said, and continued
steadily throughout the summer. The
dredge is owned by the Union Con
struction Company of San Francisco,
but the ground is held jointly by Tom
Aiken and T. McKinnon.
Twenty-six men wrere employed on
the plant during the season. Forty
feet of frozen muck overburden had
to be removed during the season in
preparation for ground sluicing. Al
together the season was very good, it
was stated and plans for next season
call for operations on at least the
same scale as the past. Some pros
pecting in the form of drilling was
carried on and will be continued next
season. Drilling took place down the
creek and thus far work has been
planned ahead for the coming two
years.
Most of the crew of the dredge con
sisted of men who make that district
their personal abode. There were two
exceptions, W. T. Hughes, engineer,
and Eric Pterson, wenchman, both of
whom arrived in Seward with Mr.
Welch, continuing on to the states for
the winter. From Candle creek to
Nenana, via dog team, the party came
out in nine days. The trail was good,
Mr. Welch asserted, although some of
the rivers were not entirely frozen
over at the time they came out.
Mr. Welch si a well known and
old time mining man of the Interior
districts. Ten years ago he was as
i sociated with the Riley interests. In
1919 he was connected with the Fair
i banks Gold Dredging Company. This
year, his first since 1919, was spent
in the employ of the present company.
Prior to coming north last spring Mr.
Welch put in two years in South
America and prior to that period a
year in Canada.

WORLDLY GOODS
DUE AT LIBERTY
Worldly Goods, a Paramount pictur
ization of the novel by Sophie Kerr,
starring Agnes Ayres, will be the fea
ture at the Liberty Theatre tonight
and tomorrow night. Paul Bern direct
ed the production.
The story is a fine domestic comedy
drama of real, human people. It first
appeared as a serial in the Ladies’
Home Journal and has since proved
unusually successful as a novel.
Miss Ayres has the roles of Elea
nor Lawson, a young secretary to the
manager of a large department store
Pat O’Malley is Fred Hopper, whom
she marries. He is an automobile sales
man, gifted with a great line of talk
and big ideas of the future. In fact
he is all ideas and no initiative. Vic
tor! Varconi is cast as the store mana
ger, Clifford Ramsay. It is about these
three that the story revolves—and it’s
not the time worn eternal triangle
theme either, but something entirely
now. Paul Bern is a new director and
he has introduced some novel ideas
into Worldly Goods.
Edythe Chapman and Bert Wood
ruff also have prominent parts in the
strong supporting cast of the picture.
Maude George, Cecille Evans and Otto
Lederer complete the line up of play
ers.
Here’s a matrimonial comedy-drama
that will appeal to everyone.
