running tie* survey to tie* Susitna val
ley commenced 'Tuesday morning. A

!u his address. Higgs replying to the
numerous requests as to the route of
the railroad, stated that the rout** had
not been ^elected, aud all sta'em**nts
t > the contrary were without founda
tion. He said that the surveying of
the line from Fairbanks to the Susitna,
need not Ik* taken as an indication that
such a route would he finally selected,
i m* the survey was being made because
i
I the president had no information as to
the length of such a line, cost of con
! struct ion. or like data. In fact, he
said, there was no such information to
i be bad, as this was the least kno"n of
any of the proposed lines, therefore the
survey was being made. >o that the de
tails of every pos>ible loute could he
laid before the president before a
selection was made.
Starting at Fairbanks, the surveyors
will work toward the China, thence
down the Tanana to the Nenana, anil
up the Nenana toward the Susitna val
ley. Another party is being made up
to assist in carrying on the work.

j be continued until completed, even
I though it may extend into the winter

I Fairbanks will be the interior termi
nal of the government railroad, and
the newcomers are anxious to get in
on the ground floor. Fairbanks mer
chants are worried for fear the belief
1 that the railroad will be constructed to
this place will lead to the establish
ment of a greater number of business
houses than the trade will support,
and lead to a serious depression.

NEWSBOY MINE
CLOSES DOWN
* r# r» •• *•*
Fairbanks, July 1—After numerous
vicissitudes, the famous Newsboy mine,
which was at one time hailed as the
bonanza, has again closed down, and it
is probable that it will not again be
worked.
Recently the mine has been operated
by the former employees, who took a
lease on the property after the owners
decided to close it down. For a time
the lessees made wages and better, but
for the past three months it has been
a losing proposition. Such develop
ment work as has been done has re
vealed no new ore bodies, while the
original vein, which promised so good,
has pinched ojt.
Manager Drury, under whom the
work lias been going oh, has given up
all hope of finding any new pay, and
has taken a lease on the Raiobow
quartz mine, on Skookum gulch, which
promises better returns.
