According to Major Waugh, the gov
ernment will soon construct a road at
Hyder, Alaska, to open up the country
where some of the mines are located.
There is already a road through the
district 16 miles long, that was con
structed by private interests at a cost
of $85,000. The government road will
continue along tlie same course and the
present road will be graveled over and
widened. Major Waugh also said that
mining companies would build a rail
road 22 miles long, paralleling (he gov
ernment road, for tlie purpose of haul
ing ore.
What seems to be a procession of
strange animals due to be tried out in
Alaska, says the Douglas Island News.
A few months ago it was the muskox
that was being featured—now it is the
yak. Until we read Prof. Georgeson’s
description of the beast we always
thought “yak” was Scandinavian for
Jack.
F. D. Browne, engineer in charge of
the Nenana division of the Government
railroad, promises that, trains will be

TWO OLDTIMERS DEAD
“Barney,, McGee
Bernard Jerome McGee died at the
Savoy hotel in Seattle on August 18, at
the age of 70 years, shortly after his
return from an extended visit to Cali
fornia. There are very few oldtimers
of the Northland more widely known
nor better liked than that same ■•Bar
ney” McGee, whose ready wit, sociabil
ity and generous trails of character
made him a favorite with all. For years
Mr. McGee was in the hotel business
at Whitehorse, Y. T.. but of late he
spent, most of his time in and about, the
Savoy hotel, where he passed away.
During the construction period of the
White Pass railway “Barney” was one
of Contractor Michael J. Henev’s able
assistants, along with such rare good
fellows as Charley Moriarly, “Caribou
Bill” Robinson, Murray Miles, Jerry
Quinlan, Adam Tyson, Charley Jovnt,
and Olliers—those were the days of real
sport and hard work. So long as there
remains an animated relic of the "geod
old days” on the White Pass trail dur
ing the last, years of the 19th century,
the memory of “Barney” McGee w ill
be ever fresh and green.
Archie F. Allen
Archie F. Allen dropped dead of
heart trouble on the street in Seattle
on July JO last, is the information con
tained in a letter received a few days
ago by fas old business partner, George
Hamilton. Mr. Allen was about 5s

rush, living several years in Dawson,
going to Fairbanks in Lhe first years of
the big Xanana camp, then to the Kov

partnership with Mr, Hamilton, estab
lished the Pioneer Sheet Metal Works
in this camp. He remained here about,
two years, and in 1910 sold his interest
in the business to his partner, and until
