CAPT. MEARS REPORTS ON CONSTRUCTION WORK
FROM MATANUSKA JCT. NORTH TO DEAD HORSE HILL
Under date of June 29th in a writ
ten statement for publication Captain
Mears, of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, gave the following sum
mary of work under way on the main
line of the government railroad north
of Matanuska Junction. Of the 4,000
men employed north of Mile 80, about
1,500 are employed either on, or in
taking supplies for main line construc
tion north of the junction where the
Matanuska branch turns off to the coal
fields.
“The main line north of the Junc
tion—Matanuska to Little Susitna riv
er—a distance of 22 miles, has been!
turned over to the maintenance ot
way department. Track has been laid
over this section and for the past six
weeks track gangs have been busily!
engaged in ballasting and surfacing
the track and reinforcing certain em
bankments damaged by the heavy
rains of hist fall. A siding has been
established about eight miles north of
Matanuska, near the northern end of
Wasilla lake, ami at a point where
the government wagon road connect
ing the town of Knik with the Willow |
creek mines, crosses the government
grade. A little business and residence)
community has sprung to life at this
point and on Wednesday, June 20, Mr.
Andrew Christensen, manager of the
land and industrial department, sold
IP lots to prospective residents, sold
total figure of $5,715.00. It is now pro
posed to make a slight diversion of
the Knik-Willow creek wagon road,
causing it to be a continuation of the
principal business thoroughfare—
Main stret The Alaskan Kngineer
ing commission will erect a perman
1 ent station building at this point, re
placing the present temporary tent
structure.
“From the end of steel (Mile 174)
northward to Dead Horse Hill—(Mile
245), the line is all under construc
tion. Mr. Breck, district engineer of
the Matanuska district, has charge of
construction as far north as Sheep
creek, Mile 202, where he connects
with Mr. Dose, district engineer of
the Talkeetna district. Work in this
section is practically all under way.
WE PAY—
8 l-2c pound for lead.
$2.75 a hundred for rags.
$33 ton for cast iron.
27 l-2c pound for copper.

Having for sale at a most reason
able price some of the choicest land in
Resurrection Valley 1 therefore invite
inquiries from those that contem
plate the purchase of any number of
acres. The success with which all of
those who have already bought
acreage in the Ole Martin homestead
are meeting in cultivating these lands
is the best evidence you can secure of
what the soil can do.

Established 10 Years
“A bridge oi91 feet in length was
driven over the Little Susitna river
during last winter and now awaits
the permanent deck and truss span at
end of steel. An active bridge gang
with steam skid piledriver, in charge
of our friend Scotty Park, is moving
northward from the Little Susitna,
driving all openings as it goes. An
other bridge crew has been landed at
the northern limits of this district—
Sheep creek —— which will head south
and carry along the same program.
“A good portion of the supplies for
this work were freighted in last win
ter over the frozen lakes and swamps,
but nevertheless a summer wagon
road, approximately paralleling the
railroad, was constructed at consider
able expense. This road was started
. i ...
as soon as me suuw wu v»»^
ground and is now complete and serv
ing the districts mentioned.
“There are thirty separate station
gangs working between the Little Su
sitna (Mile 174) and Sheep creek
(Mile 203) supplied from construction
camps as follows: Camp 174—Little
Susitna river; Camp 180—Brown's
Lake; Camp 187 — Willow creek;
Camp 105 — Little Willow creek;
Camp 201—Kashwitna, on slough of
Susitna river.
“The total force on this section, in
cluding the station contractors, is 820
men.
Talkeetna District
“The Talkeetna district was gone
over very thoroughly during Friday,
Saturday and Sunday of last week.
“This district is served by water
transportation. The large coal-burn
ing steam-driven river steamier “Om
enica” plies between Anchorage and
a point on the Susitna river called
Kroto, 40 miles above the mouth.
From this point, construction mater
oals and supplies are transferred to
gasoline-propelled river boats of from
15 to 40 tons’ capacity. The freight
is delivered at will where needed, at
any point in the district from Bowne's
Cache landing, near Mile 205), to the
mouth of Indian river (Mile 204).
“About 23 miles of grade were com
pleted in this district last season, be
tween Montana creek (Mile 207) and
Dead Horse Hill (Mile 245). The re
maining 15 miles is now under way
with the object of completing this sec
tion during the summer season.
“The right of way is all cleared to
Indian river (Mile 267) except for one
or two short sections between Tal
keetna and Dead Horse, which are
now covered by clearing gangs.
“A locating party under Mr. Freder
ick D. Browne, has been put into the
field at Indian river to investigate the
crossing of the Susitna river at this
point and to make further locations in
Broad Pass* during the summer season,
seeking a better route.
“Mr. Browne was found established
in his camp on the south bank of the
Susitna river enjoying life in the
open. In the course of a few days he
will move ahead up the valley of In
dian river and into Broad Pass.”
