I HOLDINGS PLANNED
IN NENANA CITY
NENANA, Dec. 14.—A largo
amount of building is being planned
by the Alaska Engineering Com
mission for Xenana this year—build
ings to accommodate the increased
volume of business that will be
handled by the commission and the
additional employes who will be en
gaged as soon as work opens up in
the spring.
There will be constructed a large
dock landing shed, J»00 feet in length,
and three storage warehouses 60 by
104 feet. The warehouses will be two
stories high and will be equipped with
elevators. Additional mess and bunk
houses will be built, and there will be
a large club house, with dance hall,
reading rooms, gymnasium and baths,
i
for the use of the employes of the
commission free of cost. Several ad
ditional cottages also will be needed,
and the hospital building will be con
siderably enlarged.
Then there will be a roundhouse,
with live engine stalls, and a new ma
chine shop, equipped with tools suit
able for making repairs to, or new
parts for, any of the equipment or
rolling stock that may become neces
sary. The commission will also have
a sawmill of its own, the equipment
for which is already here. The plant
will be operated by electricity and
the mill waste, slabs, sawdust, etc.,
will be used as fuel at the power
plant. The sites of the proposed
buildings have not been selected as
yet.
The number of employees on the
commission payroll in this division
at the present time is approximately
the same as it was on November 30.
At that time there were 193 regular
employees and 141 contractors, mak
ing a total of 334.
In last week’s issue of th<» News a
typographical error made it appear
that only 60 miles of clearing had
been completed, whereas the right of
way at the time the report was ren
dered had been cleared for a distance
of 87 miles. This is important since
the additional 27 miles reduces the
cost per mile very materially.—News.
The past week holds the record for
being the coldest, longest and most
persistent spell of Arctic weather ex
perienced here since Ruby sprang in
i
to life. There was an average tem
perature of 55 below, with the lowest
mark at 60.
It was an absolute impossibility to
do any teaming on the roads, as was
instanced by the fact that a team of
mules belonging to Joe Ferris died,
their lungs being burnt by the keen
cold while on route from Ruby to the
creeks. William howler, arriving
from Iditarod yesterday, lost one
dog on the trail, the animal having
frozen to death.
Practically all mining operations
in the vicinity had to cease because
of the inability to obtain provisions
and wood.
i The day before yesterday, it was <2
• below at Birches, while the mail car
rier says that when he left Kokrinc
yesterday, it was having 65 below
temperature.
But today the cold snap has broken
the thermometer registering 30 be
low this morning.—Ruby Record, Pe<
