Putting Line to King River In Shape
For Rapid and Better
Trattie
In his report of Juno 29th, Captain
Mears gives the following account of
conditions on that part of the Mata
nuska branch now in operation:
“The Matanuska branch line is un
der operation from Matanuska to King
—24 miles—and two coal spurs turn
off from this branch, on to the Do
herty-O’Reilly mine at Moose creek
(Mile ld-branch) and the other to the
Kska creek mine (Mile 19-branch).
“The maintenance of way depart
ment has a construction outfit «it work
near Moose creek engaged in the work
of bank protection along the Mata
nuska river. Rock for this purpose
is obtained from Kska creek canyon,
loaded by a 70-ton Bucyrus steam
shovel and hauled to place oy iwo
14-car trains 12-yard steel Western
dump ears. The rock is spread by the
new Maun-.McCann spreader received
from Panama. This bank protection
if* about complete and the gangs now
engaged in this work will soon turn
their attention to the work of bal
lasting and surfacing the branch line
track. It is contemplated to put this
track in good shape for fast traffic.
McGill’s bridge crow, known as
Gang No. 5. is at work at the north
end of Kagie river bridge replacing
pile tents which had been pushed out I
by a slide, and Matt Peter’s crew—
B. & B. No. 1, is at work at Mata-j
nuska Junction erecting a new 50,000
gallon steel water tank. This tank
will be supplied with watA* from the
creek near Tex Cobb’s ranch and will
be frost-proofed after the manner of
the large tank at Anchorage, thus in- j
suring an adequate supply of watei ;
for the town of Matanuska and for
railroad purposes, winter and summer.

Mines, has taken charge of the Eska
creek mine recently purchased by the
Alaskan Engineering commission, and
is producing about ?."> tons per day,
for use on the government railroad.
He hopes to increase the output at
an early date.

ACREAGE
Having for sale at a most reason
able price some of the choicest land in
Resurrection Valley I therefore invite
inquiries from those that contem
plate the purchase of any number of
acres. The success with which all of j
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.

Manager Hoben Would Like to See In-j
terview With Hansen’s
Men
There was quite a lot of talk over
around Anchorage about Seward being
| afraid to play a return game this '
year, early in the season, but since
the local bunch have been rounded j
into shape and won four straight from I
Cordova there has not been so much as
a murmur drift over Mile r>2 summit.
If there is one team more than an
other which Manager Hoben would
like to tackle, it is District Engineer
Hansen’s agregation of hand-picked
stars over around Cotter creek. Han
sen is busily engaged, between shots i
on the hard rock work, in annexing the
championship of the alibi league, and!
will probably refuse to run any chance
in damaging the “espirit d’eorps” of
his pets by running up against a series |
of set-backs in mid-season. Hut the
Seward fans sure would like to enter
tain him some sunny afternoon soon.
