U. S. RAILROAD RECORD
y^j j AU the news of the line from Seward to Fairbanks. No. 106
EVENTUALLY j
TRACK WILL BE
STANDARDGUAGE
Commissioner Peclares That Narrow
(«uage Track Will be Laid first
But Will Be Only Temporary
The Alaskan Engineering commis
sion it lias been said in Fairbanks,}
does not plan on having anything but
a narrow gauge road north of Ne
nana. Concerning this, Commission-*
er Thomas lJiggs is credited by the
Fairbanks Citizen with making the
following statement:
“Until the bridge across the Tan-j
ana river at Nenana is completed, the J
railroad between Fairbanks and Ne
nana may be narrow gauge. We are
building it that way in order that
equipment of light weight may cross;
ice of the river during the winter and
on the ferries in the summer.
“We are, however, building the j
grade on this end for standard guage j
track, and are using standard guage
ties everywhere for construction work. |
change the track from narrow to stan-j
dard guage all we will have to do is I
Therefore, when we get ready to1
to move one rail, which work, l think,
can be accomplished in four days’
Asked regarding the statements in
reference to Nenana made by himself.
Chairman William C. Kdes and An
I drew Christensen, chief of the land and
industrial department of the commis
sion, at the banquet tendered by the
Nenana Commercial Club to Mr.
Kdes several weeks ago, Mr. Higgs
said in part:
“The people of Fairbanks are too
quick to jump at conclusions. 1 have
heard remarks tending to prove the
jealousy of business people of Fair
banks in regard to Nenana. They are
not looking toward the general good
that the railroad will do Fairbanks and
other points in the interior; rather, are
they kicking because Fairbanks is not
the payroll town.
Always Distributing Point
“You can say that I suit! that Ne
nana will always bea distributing
point; you cannot get away from it.
It is the most desirably located ot any
town in the interior for that purpose.
All of the lower river country will
be tributary to it and it will always be
a good small town.
“The government is not spending or
will not spend any money in improve
ments at Nenana. The law provides
that 50 per cent of the amount re
ceived from the sale of lots be put in
improvements in the townsite. All
money over and above half of the
amount realized from lot sales that
goes in improvements, will by peti
tion by the townspeople of Nenana
and the government, be reimbursed by
assessments. Therefore, u!l of the j
money placed in improvements at Ne- j
nana is being furnished by people who;
have located there and who are con-1,
tributing to the welfare of the place.
“If there is a man in Fairbanks who
is fool enough to think that the rail
road between Fairbanks and Nenana
is going to be narrow guage when fi
nally constructed, let him go out to
Happy and see the crew of men build

PROGRESS AT
COAL MINES
Commission Reports Making Several
Improvements at Eska Creek
Coal Mine
During the month of August sev
eral improvements and betterments
were made at the Eska Creek coal
mine by the Alaskan Engineering
Commission. Among the buildings
erected were the following: a tempo
rary bunk house, 20 by 60 leet; a pow
der house 14 by 16 feet; and a primer
house, 10 by 12 feet. The loading
trestle was extended to accommodate
live railroad cars, and a coal pocket
for loading the engine was built.
Construction was begun on an office
building 18 by 3 feet, which at the
close of the month was about 50 per
cent completed. Five acres of land
were cleared for building sites, and
work was begun on six cottages for
employees and the installation of wa
ter and sewer systems.
Entry was started on the Martin
coal bed on the east side of the creek
«
and timbers were gotten out for the
fan foundation. There were 2005.51
long tons of coal shipped during Aug
ust, nearly all to Anchorage. The
force employed included 86 men on the
Commission roll and 12 on the con
tractors’ payrolls.
At the Chickaloon coal mine a 115
t*oot crosscut was driven 40 feet above
connected to the crosscuts by a raise.
Construction was started on a trestle
over the railroad from the haulage
crosscut. Work was commenced on a
log barn and a blacksmith shop. At
the close of the month there were 1G
men on the payroll. Two business
permits were granted during August: |
one for a roadhouse and one for a
laundry.
ing grade sixteen feet wide; grade
for a standard guage track, equipped
with standard ties and bridges and |
culverts made to carry standard equip-1
ment. And you can tell the people of
Fairbanks I said that, too.”
