MINING MAN IS
TAKEN OVER LINE
-•
J. C. Murray, the well-known miner
from Cache creek, was ouv over the
line on the central division a few days
ago. He took in the coal mines on
Moose and Eska creeks, and reports
that everything looked well on these
properties. Murray is an ardent ad
vocate of better roads, trails, tele
phones and mail service for the out
lying districts, and has done no small
part in calling the attention of the
government men having these things
in charge of their lack and pressing
need all over this section of the eoun-i
try.
EXTENDING YARDS!
EAST OFJOWN i
Both steam shovels on this division
are in action this week, working
doutde shift. The Bucyrus shovel j
with a record at Panama is complet-,
ing a rock cut at Mile 9 1-2, and the
Marion is engaged at the head of the
bay.
The latter shovel is cutting a drain
age ditch through the wide cut made
near Mile 2, which will solve the frost
problem in that section. The ground
there contains a great deal of water
and during the cold snaps last winter
the frost put several kinks in the
track. The cut now being made is
well below grade and will thoroughly
drain the upper section. Material
from this cut is being used in an ex
tension of the freight yards along the
east water front.
PILEDRIVER NOW
AT TWENTY-NINE
Construction of the new trestle at
Trail creek, Mile 33 on the line, has
been completed and the piledriver is
now at work on the bridge across the
south end of Trail lake at Mile 29.
ACCOMPLISH BIG
RESULTS WITH
OLD EQUIPMENT
Locomotive No. 21, the ten-wheeler
purchased from a logging company in
Washington owing to inability to se
cure early deliveries of rolling stock
from the factories, is now ready for
service, and is reported in first class
condition.
Including the little switch engine
formerly used on the Denny regrade,
purchased by the commission for use
when the old Alaska Northern tracks
would not carry heavier locomotives,
and the queer misfits reclaimed from
the Alaska Northern to serve in the
emergency, this division holds the rec
ord for the wierdest collection of roll
ing stock this far north.
The operating department is justly
proud of the results produced with
these rejuvenated, worn out engines.
Two new locomotives from Panama,
the first standard equipment to be re
ceived, will be assembled at once and
will be in service by the time recon
struction work on the old line has been
completed sufficiently to permit the
use of 110-ton equipment.
