DIRT FLYING
ON ARM SAYS
ENGINEER WEIR
R. J. Weir, engineer in charge of
this division of the road, returned
Sunday morning from a conference at
Girdwood with Chairman Edes and
reports the dirt flying on the arm di
vision.
“The elements are removing the big
snow slide at Mile 53 1-2 at a rapid
rate,” said V\ eir, “and as we have
plenty of supplies at Kern Creek there
is no need to waste money shoveling
it out of the way. Much of it will be
gone by the time we need to open for
traffic.”
Station work on the grade for the
main line from Kern Creek to Gird
wood is now 75 per cent completed and
will be in readiness for steel by the
latter part of July.
Xew station work north of Gird
wood is to be let soon on the line
just inspected by Chairman Edes.

SPENCER GLACIER
DAM PUTS WATER
' IN OLD CHANNEL
—
The annual blow out of water from
Spencer glacier occurred Thursday
afternoon and the new dam built dur
ing the winter to replace the coffer
dam erected by the Alaska Northern
engineers held and diverted the stream
back to the old channel under the
trestles near Mile 54.
When the old cofferdam washed out
last year considerable delay resulted,
as the stream ran wild across the
flats, changing its channel every hour
or so. The cofferdam was so located
that the water struck it squarely and
was forced back and then to the west,
while the new dam is constructed at
an angle deflecting the water in such
a way as to reduce the pressure. The
rush of water from under the ice was
so strong as to build up gravel and
rocks to within 9 feet of the top be-1
fore it sided away into the old chan- j
nel.
BIG FILL ACROSS
LAGOON BEING
FACED WITH ROCK
Twenty-two thousand yards of ma- ■
terial have been dumped from the
trestle across the lagoon at the head
of the bay and all of the fill complet
ed except an opening of 150 feet to
provide a water way for the small
streams emptying in that section.
Rock is being brought from Mile 0
to complete the riprapping of this fill
to prevent its being washed away by
the tides. Double shifts are employed
on both the shovel and riprap work so
that the cuts at Mile 9 can be com
pleted at the earliest moment and the
material be used to the best advan
tage.
BARGE ON WAY
AFTER DELAY—TO
STOP FOR COAL
SEATTLE, Monday, June 4.—
Change in towing arrangements de
layed the sailing of the barge Louis
iana until today. The barge has lum
ber, powder and dump cars for Sew
ard and Anchorage and sailed via
Nanaimo where she will load coal for
Seward and be towed north by the tug
Nitinat.
DOCK IS BUILT
AT MILE 82 TO
LAND SHOVEL
Construction of a boat and barge
landing is under way at Mile 82 on
the railroad just north of Bird Point
for the purpose of landing the steam
shovel, narrow guage locomotives and
other equipment now in use at Pot
#
ter creek.
This shovel will be cut in north of
Mile 82 and will provide material for
an extensive fill where the line is to
be built across the flats for some dis
tance to avoid snow slides.
BLOW OUT MORE
OVERHANG BETWEEN
TUNNELS 3 AND 4
Another section of the overhanging
rocks between tunnels No. 3 and 4
will be shot off into Placer river this
week and when the driving of bridges
is completed one of the steam shovels
will be sent over the hill to throw the «
rock which remains on the track off
the right of way.
