10 LAST YEARS
It is Said Guggenheim Flat Creek
Ground Will Keep Four
Dredges Busy Six Years.
.
bay enough lias been shown
up on the Flat creek holdings of
the (iuggenheims to keep four
dredges such as was installed last
year by the syndicate in operation
for six years. That, at least, is
what Iditarod mining men, who
profess to be acquainted with the
conditions, say, according to 13.
Gockrill, manager of the Iditarod
Traction company. Mr. Gockrill
reached Fairbanks Monday after
noon on the lower river stage. He
is oil his way to the states and
expects to get away this morning
on tlie Orr rig.
Mr. Gockrill says that it is re
ported in Iditarod that the (iug
genheims are going to confine
their working force next season
to married men or those who are
brought in by them from the out
side. Last year they had consid
erable trouble keeping labor, and
this condition will be obviated
next season, they say.
The traction manager says tiial
more steel rails will be put down
on tlie Jditarod-Flat City tram
way during the coming year, in
anticipation of an increased busi
ness.
Willow creek, which parallels
Flat creek, and heads into the
same zone whence Flat derives
her wonderfully rich placer gold,
is said to lie looked upon as a
likely scene of operations for
dredges. Manley had a drill at
work there during the summer.
The Iditarod man reports that
Bear creek, in the Tuluksak sec
tidn of the Kuskokwirn, will form
the nucleus of a small camp. The
dirt found there is extensive, but
is of low grade—Fairbanks
Times.
The Firemen’s dance given Sat
urday night, netted the depart
ment $320, which, under the cir
cumstances, is considered pretty
good. James Patterson won an
overcoat and a ton of coal in the
rallies, Win. Scott a toil of coal,
L. Graham an overcoat, Al. Sul
livan box of candy, Tom Quinn
manicuring set. The holder of
ticket Xo. lo has a box of candy
coming at Hie Valdez Drug com
pany, and ticket Xo. 83 a perco
lator al the Owl Drug company.

CONDITIONS ON THE
C0B9OVA ROAD
(continued frflJn page I),
reaches here engine No. 20 will In*
converted into a coal instead of'
an oil burner. This, together with !
the other necessary repairs to en
gines and rotary, as well as the
time consumed in loading a train
of fuel for distribution to the
other motive power along the line,
will take about a week. Then ev
erything will be in readiness for
the return trip, and but little
trouble should be experienced in
bucking the snow in the canyon.
“Both the large rotaries are in
good shape. The one at mile 55 is
entirely out, of fuel, while (lie oth
er one at Cleve creek has a brok
en eccentric, but this can be eas
ily repaired when a train reaches
there. Of course both these ro
taries are dead. The one at Cleve
creek has plenty of fuel aboard
to lake her to Chit ilia, as soon as
the new eccentric is received, and
under favorable conditions could
come back lo Cordova, but at
present we cannot afford to lake
the chance of putting her into
service.
Sinc'e December 21 there has
not, been a day that the velocity
of the wind was less than 40 miles
an hour. So far as motive power
or trains are concerned it would
n’t have made any difference if
we had a dozen engines in service
under the conditions. If there had
boon three engines to a train they
would have choked the rotary and
prevented it from ploughing
through the drifts, and then again
these engines would have, used
more fuel and water and thus ne
cessitate coaling and watering
more freipiently. This would
mean a great loss of time. For
every live shovels full of snow
bandied for melter four are lost
on account of the wind. It must
also be remembered that it takes
15 inches of snow to make one
inch of water.
"On Sunday night, while at mile
post 58, ploughing through a cut,
snow fell and it was so light that
it, covered up the trotary. The
snow sheds blew half full of snow
the second day after the first
train left here. Slides had to be
contended with continually and it
was a common thing to encounter
from live lo 30 feet of snow from
mile 51 to 98. Fortunately we
found no ice to speak of along
the tracks, as we had taken the
precaution lo have track walkers
on duty along the entire line and
as soon as any ice was discovered
a gang of men was sent out to
pick it.
“There has been an unusually
heavy fall of snow throughout the
interior and a month’s continu
ous wind. At. times we had to
shelter ourselves from the wind,
after bucking a drift, by getting
out of its sweep for fear of being
covered up.
"There are 1(13 men at miles 51
and 55, and this entire crew will
be put to work clearing the track
so that 'the small rotary can hack
to the loop at mile 49, as soon
as the wind goes down. The snow
is only four feet deep there but
blows in as fast, as it is shoveled
out. As I slated before, after
three days of calm weather the
little rotary should he back in
Cordova.'
"It is my opinion that, water
itanks and fuel stations should be
established about every five miles
along the road, for use in case of
emergency. There should also be
j erected four miles of snow
sheds.”
The steam heat at “The Cliff”
is mighty fine these frosty days.
Notice the contented expression
of our tenants.
