COMMISSIONER RIGGS FILES PROGRESS REPORT
FOR FAIRBANKS DISTRICT FOR EARLY SEASON
On April 29, at 1:50 p. m., the ice
moved in the Tanana river below the
mouth of the Nenana river. On the
I liOth. at 11:06 a. m., the ice started
flowing in front of Nenana and clear
i ed the river as far up as the Mission.
The power house whistle was blown
and all the residents of the town flock
ed to the river bank.
Nenana District
Three engineering residencies were
established during the month, covering
the territory as far as the mouth ot
Hosanna creek,—each residency cover
ing about 14 miles. There was no
resident engineers north of the Tanana
river in April
The following work was performed
during the month:
Clearing: All cutting was complet
ed from Station 1782S (Weir’s Loca
tion) near Dry Creek, to Nenana, and
the burning was practically completed.
Grading: Contracts were let during
the month for grading between Sta
tions 18A77 plus 50 (Weir’s Location)
to 18008 (Bailey’s Location), a dis
tance of 1.85 miles. The completion of
this section is required at an early date
to allow the use of the grade as a
wagon road. The total excavation for
the month, of all classes, was 7940
I yards. I
Grubbing: Contracts for grubbing
I in Xenana Yard were let during the
month, ami 8.19 acres completed.
Building Construction: The pile
j foundation for the sawmill was start
ed on April 18 and completed on the
25th. There were (>2 piles driven, all
' of which required thawing . An addi
tion to Xo. 1 warehouse was built.
Cottages Xos. 1 to 5 and the bache
lors’ quarters were painted.
Dock Extension: Piledriving start
ed on April 28. At the close of the
month 14 piles had been driven, the
average pentration being 10 feet. The
I ground required thawing preliminary \
to this work. The foundation and plat
form for a stiff-leg derrick were also
completed.
Dam at Head of Lost Slough: Pile- \
driver work began on April 2(1 . It was
necssary to melt glacier ice seven feet
1 in thickness in order to drive the piles
in the center of the channel Hard
gravel was encountered, making the
work difficult. A total of 704 lineal
fet was driven. The purpose of thU
dam is to keep the water in the maim
channel and thus prevent the further
cutting of the slough embankment and
j the consequent increased flow of water
through the channel.
Meteorological Observations: The ^
following weather conditions prevailed
at Xenana during the month: Maxi
mum temperature, 57.5; minimum,
—11.0; average maximum temperature
42.213; average minimum, —17.55;1
snow fell on two days of the month;
total snowfall, 8*2 inches; clear days
