■ FREIGHTING IN SUPPLIES FOR THE
' MATANUSKA AND MAIN LINE WORK
AXCHORAGK. — The Matanuska
river above king* river is now frozen
sufficiently to permit freight, for
building the last 14 miles of the
branch railroad to the heart of the
coal fields, to be hauled by four-horse
bobsleds all the way to Chickaloon.
The work of retracing the located
line, together with making the noees
:%ary revisions, is nearly completed ami
will be finished by the end of next
week.
The freight teams have supplied^
the entire line to a point nearly two]
miles above Hole-in-the-W all with all
the 20 pound rails that will be re
quired to complete the work to that
The greater part of the pow
der required for that stretch has also
been distributed and cached in the
various stationmen’s powder houses. {
Kach station contractor in the Mata
nuska District is required to build a
* powder house of sufficient dimensions
to hold all the explosives required for
his particular piece of work. The re
quisite amount of powder is then
placed in the powder house, and the
station gang is charged for such pow-1
dor as the timekeeper’s monthly in
ventory shows to have been used dur-j
ing the period. The timekeeper and (
the head stationman are the only per-,
sons holding keys to the powder,
house.
The contractors between Kings riv
er and Camp d7 have finished clearing
the right of way and are now at work
drilling.
The entire branch line east of
Kings river will be covered by con
tract, with the exception of the fol
lowing areas: Station 404 to 581;
177 to 805; and 101 to 118. These
three sections will not be let until
spring, at which time they can be
handled to best advantage.
The telephone department has in
, stalled telephones at all the camps
far as Camp 86, and within a few
days will have completed the tele
phone line to the proposed terminal at
O’Brien’s cabin at Chickaloon.
Main Line
The freighting of supplies along the
main line is going ahead in a satis
factory manner, and the rails, ear>
and other construction material and
supplies are being distributed rapidly
as far north of the Little Susitna Riv
er as Willow creek. When the section
south of Willow creek has been com
pletely stocked the caching of ma
terial and supplies "ill continue as
far north as Kashwitna river. It is
planned to finish this latter work be
fore the break-up in the Spring.
The camp at Willow creek is nearly
completed, and construction of a
camp at a point midway betw’een
• Little Willow Creek and Kashwitna
river will be commenced within the
very near future.
The piledriver crew has finished the
driving and the greater part of the
decking of all trestles and openings
as far north as Station 5920.
Three contracts south of the Little
Susitna River remain uncompleted
but will be finished during the month
of January.
A clearing contract has been let
covering the section from station 7004 t
to Station 7780, in the vicinity of the
Kashwitna river, and the contractor
will begin this work within the next
ten days. From the north end of this
contract to Sheep creek, right-of-way
clearing is already under way.
