Turnagain arm. It is also expected
that the gasoline schooner Ida May
will call at this port once a month dur
ing this season.
Knik is about as near the Susitna
river as Tyonok, and is an ideal trans
fer place for freight, on account of the
new wharf, and no surf to bother even
a row boat.
Navigation for large boats was op«-n
on Knik arm May ti, one week later
than usual. The Tyonic called May
15, and also “Red Jack,’’ who was on
his to Susitna Station with a boat load
of supplies for Frank Churchill. The

is a week earlier than usual. Many

river. Among them is Ilenrv Ander
son, who represents the King River
Mining Company, which is developing
placers on Lake creek, and will install
a saw mill there this spring.
The Ida May is expected here daily
with a cargo for the Susitna river, and
material for the Fox. Captain W. J.
Murphy is owner of the new craft, and
for freight and especially for passen
ger service the Fox will be one of the
best boats on the run. James Wal

IN SEARCH OF MINERAL
BACK OF ILIAMNA BAY
Six men representing heavy capital
were on the Santa Clara for Iliamna,
where they will begin an exploration
of the mineral resources of the inter
ior along the proposed railroad ine
for which a preliminary location was
made last winter by Maj. Burbank's
party. The explorers had live horses
on the boat for packing purposes and
expect to remain in the field until
October.
It is known that immense copper de
posits exist around Lake Iliamna and
Lake Clark. Numerous locations have
already been made and development
of some of these has shown that the
field is likely to prove one of extraor
dinary value. It is claimed that the
projected railroad is financed if the
report of the mineral exploration
party is favorable. It is claimed also
that the line is projected to reach
Nome, but that is probably a year or
two in the future.
George Aggers of the party stated
in Seward that the Iliamna railroad
project is to be financed by tho
Rothschilds.
