“So successful has beer
the efforts of the Alaska
. >ad Commission to im
prove roads in -the Willow j
Creek district, that next sea
son the cost of transporta
tion will be cut from as high
as three to five cents per
pound down to one-half cent \
a pound,” said Miio Kelly, i
pioneer operator of the Cook
Inlet country, who was a pas
senger on a recent boat fo/ j
the States. Mr. Kelly, who
during the past summer ef
fected a reoi'ganization of
several mining interests ii
the Willow Creek district
whereby many of the best
properties were consolidat
ed, expects to see a material
ly increased output result
next season.
The lateness of the season
last year combined with a:t
acute labor shortage hamp
ered to a large extent, he
said, mining operations 1
the district. The continued
high cost of supplies as well
as labor was.another factor
in keeping down the output,
but he expects more favor
able conditions next Spring.
Labor, he believes, will be
had in abundance and costs
of all materials will be more
nearly normal than was the
case this season. These im
provements, however he said
are of no greater importance
than the assistance rendered
by the Alaska Road Commis
sion for the betterment of
transportation conditions.
The work of the commission
is greatly appreciated by the
mining men and others in
terested in seeing the Com
mission get the full appropri
ation called for by its annua)
estimates.
Mr. Kelly, in commenting
on his recent application foi
permission to cut birch tim
er for export, said that he
had located a fine strand oi
timber for that purpose anri
l me permit is granted 1
time, it is hoped to start cut
ting next spring. He stated
hat a market on the Pacif
ic coast exists for all Alaskr
oirch that can be cut and
shipped.
Ms. Kelly will visit on the
Pacific Coast for several
months, returning North or.

SOLDI FREES
FOM HUH
Private Miller of the local
detachment of the 21st' In
fantry had one of his feet
frozen yesterday while hunt
ing ptarmigan on the ice of
Resurrection River. Early
yesterday morning Pvt. Fst.
Class Cooper and Pvts. Ev
ms and Miller left the Bar
racks in quest of the feather
ed bird known as the ptarmi
gan. Their quest led then
sevei’al miles up Resurrec
tion River over rough coun
try which necessitated many
stops and it was during one
of these stops that the foot
became frozen. Not realiz
ing that his foot was freez
ing, Miller continued to hob
ble along until the party
reached the McIntosh cabin,
where it was revealed, by
the removal of the rubber
shoe the condition of his foot
Cooper and Evans gave first
aid to the suffering man but
the freezing process was be
/ond help from snow appli
cations and the rapid swell
ing of the foot prevented the
replacing of the shoe. Real
izing the condition of their
companion Evans and Coop
er decided it would be neces
sary for them to get immed
iate help for their compan
ion who was unable to walk.
Fixing him comfortably ii
the cabin with an ample sup
ply of wood and food to las*
him 24 hours they left on the
return trip. Upon their ar
rival with the news of the
condition of PVt. Miller, ar
rangements were made with
Alfred Rosness, the drivei
of the Kenai mail to leav<
early this morning for th..
McIntosh cabin. He is expec’
ed to return sometime thi
afternoon. The condition of
Miller’s foot may necessitate
him having to go to Anchor
for treatment.
Special meeting of the W<
man's Club tomorrow after
"oon, (Thursday) at 2:30 p
m. at Mrs. H. S. Balderstons’
P. H. Whitney, in charge of oper
tions at the Jewel Gold Mines in the
Hope quartz district, accompanied by
Mrs. Whitney and C. H. Whitney, ar
rived in Anchorage recently to spent
a few days. They reported the win
ter work progressing satisfactorily
and every effort is being made tc
have the ground in readiness for the
nstallation of mining machinery as
early as possible.
