WORRIED HUT
VALDEZ TRAIL
I The Business Men Are Anxious
That the Trail be Keept Open
This Season.
A number of business men are dis
cussing the matter of flnancing the
keeping of the road from Valdez to
Willow creek open this coming win
ter. It is planned to let a contract
to one of the freighters, who will
agree to keep the road open and
make a certain number of trips over
the line each week. The difficulty,
it seems, is the difference of opin
ion as to who is to have the contract.
Some favor Wilson, who has a con
tract for the delivery of supplies to
the stations along the line and who
is already hauling supplies to the foot
of the summit, while others favor Mc
Intosh, who so successfully .kept the
road open last winter.
Until the matter is settled many
business men refuse to contribute to
the cost of keeping the road open.
It is estimated that from $700.00 to
$1,200.00 a month will be necessary
as a subsidy to the freighter taking
the contract and that he will then
have to make up the difference in
cost of feed and wages by securing
enough freight contracts from the
roadhouse keepers and mining oper
ators to the mining districts along the
government road.
The road over the summit is now
blocked by the recent storm and it
will be necessary for some action to
be taken soon.

FROM NELCHINA
Report Tazlina Frozen Over and Good
Sledding On the River—Many
Soon Start.
C. Larschelle and H. P. Patrick
reached Valdez this morning from
the Nelchina and report the Tazlina
river frozen over, they say sledding
on the river from its mouth to the
lake is exceptionally good. The trail
is reported as very good on the in
terior and as soon as the trail is bro
ken across the summit again, after
the recent storm, a large number of
miners and prospectors will leave for
the new camp.
Larschelle and Patrick speak high
ly of the Nelchina and predict a
great future for the camp, which, they
assert, has the earmarks of a big pro
ducer. Both men will outfit and re
turn to the diggings, where they lo
cated several claims.
Fred Kraemer, ftaymond Meyers
and Ed. Spearstad will leave in a few
days for the Nelchina and will take
in enough food supplies and mining
equipment to do prospecting work on
the claims located by them a few
months ago. The men will use dog
teams.
Charles Swanson and his partner
will also leave w-ithin a week to
prospect in the new camp.
Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Devinney have
■moved into the former Guthrie resi
dence on Reservation avenue, which
they purchased last week.
Miner From Interior Believes Nelchi- j
na and District to North Will De- !
I
velop Good Camps.
William Richards, well known in ;
the Rampart and Fairbanks districts, j
is a recent arrival from the Nelchi- j
na camp. He went in the district,
during the stampede and spent sev
eral weeks in that locality prospect
ing. He did not leave until forced to
do so by his supplies running short.
He states that the country is ideal
for travel as it is practically water;
grade from Copper Center to the dig-!
gings. It will be an easy matter to
get supplies into the camp if the dig- I
gings prove as the same formation 1
extends for miles to the north. I
Mr. Richards spent several days on !
the watershed of the Susitna. river j
and believes that is also a good
country for prospectors. The forma- j
tion there is the same as at Fair-1
banks and other districts which have i
developed good camps. The Susitna j
has the advantage of having timber j
well up toward the head of the creeks, i
The ground there, like the Nelehina, 1
is all thawed.
WILL LEAVE FOR
NELCHINA SOON;
The miners who stampeded to Nel
ehina and were successful in getting
their stakes on ground in the vicinity
of the place where gold was taken out
last summer are getting their outfits
together to .go back and prospect
their claims. Angus McDougall and
Joe Demenzie have secured a gotfd
dog team and expect to leave in the
morning over the government road.
They will travel light as far as Tazli
!na roadhouse, where they will pick up
their outfit, it having been freighted
to that point by Crary, of Copper
Center.
McDougall and Demenzie secured
ground on McDougall creek, close to
Albert creek, and put two holes to
bedrock, getting good prospect# in
both places. They will, take in sup
plies to last them several months.
The country looks good to them and
they are willing to spend sonde;time
there prospecting.
Henry Deyo returned yesterday
from the Ramsay-Kutherford proper
ty on the Glacier.
The best place to bathe is at the
Pioneer barber shop; Btrae tubs and
plenty of warm water.
