INTERIOR PEOPLE ARE
SORE AT CAPT. MEARS
That the interior people are sore at
Captain Mears of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission is made evi
dent by the following excerpt, repro
duced for what it is worth, from an
editorial in the Alaska Citizen of
Fairbanks of December 11:
“We could not go so far as to ac
cuse Commissioner Mears of trying
to hold back the construction work on
the Alaska railroad and thereby hold
ing back the development of Alaska
projects, but we would prefer that
his answer to inquiries made by soli
citous newspaper men be more cir
cumspect. That is, he should have
spoken optimistically regarding the
construction work on the railroad, as
do all true Alaskans concerning any
project in which they may be inter
ested, or else he should not have made
any predictions at all. In fact, in
making the statements that he does,
he shows that he is entirely foreign
to Alaska, that he is not interested
in his work to the extent of wishing
to make an everlasting monument for
himself in its quick completion, and
that he is merely working for his
$10,000 per year, or whatever he gets
out of it. But, when the latter ele
ment enters in it would be easy to
conclude that Captain Mears prefers
the money he gets as a member of the
Alaskan Engineering commission to
the honor, of which his share will be
one-third, of building the Alaska
railroad quickly. For by dragging
the construction work along he can
“pull down” just that many more
years’ salary. But as we stated be
fore, we are not making this accusa
tion against Commissioner Mears.”

MG' TONAGE FOR WILLOW
Anchorage, Dec.15.— Harry Land
ers, freight superintendent for tho
Gold Bullion mine in the Willow creek i
district, left for Moose creek this mor
ning, after spending several days in
Anchorage, looking after a big ship
ment of freight. Mr. Landers said,
before leaving, that mine foreman,
Vic Blodgett, was working 15 hard
rock miners this winter, driving tun
nels and blocking out ore for next
season’s mill run.
In speaking of tonnage that goes
into the Willow creek district annu
i
ally, Mr.: Landers said while he had a
fair idea of the total tonnage of the
entire district he was naturally more
familiar with the amount of tonnage
delivered at the Gold Bullion mine.
“For instance,” said Mr. Landers, “I
have four double enders working now
I and expect to put on more later. I
will freight 160 tons of supplies, pro
visions and some machinery from
Knik and Moose creek to the mine this
winter and use the pack train over
the summer trail and expect to do
equally as well next season.”
Mr. Landers is an enthusiastic advo
cate for good roads in Willow creek
district and feels, with the balance of
the competent judges who are familiar
with the present conditions, that this
section of Alaska is entitled to a good
sized appropriation from the Alaska
Road Commission for next season’s
road work. Ex.
