FOUR MEN REPORTED HURT
Dynamite Explosion at Camp 45
Catches Several Workers
A telephone message from Store
keeper Towle at mile 41 today reported
that four men had been hurt by a
dynamite explosion at mile 45. The
news came from Dr. Richardson to
Towle, and he in turn telephoned to
Dr. Applewhite in Seward, conveying
Dr. Richardson’s request for several
articles needed. No details were given
as to the extent of the injures, and no
names. For this reason it is supposed
that the men were not dangerously
hurt.
A week ago two men were injured by
a blast at the same camp. One suffered
a broken leg and another was bruised
badly. Rock work is in urogress at
that camp and heavy blasting is fre
quent. It is said that the men are not
always as careful as they should be
about getting out of range.

Proceeds Rapidly.
Track-laying on the Alaska Central
! has been proceeding steadily all week.

creek, about 35 miles out, and the

reached. Some grading work is

several \\eek> will he required to finish
it. That will he tne limit of track
laying this fall because heavy rock
work lies between mite 45 and tiie
tunnels.
Rock work is the rule, in fact, for
tiie next sixty miles be pond 45. At
least i.lMJ men will be steadily em
ployed on those sixty miles, including
I t he tunnels on mile 52, and a larger
j number if tuey can be secured. It is
| expected to complete the grading of
the sixty miles, including the tunnel
ooring, by early summer so that the
track can be laid there with a rush.
Bevond mile 105 to Knik Arm tne
grading is mostly easy. The latter
point is 135 miles from Seward. J. B.
Cameron, engineer of construction,
stated a few days ago that track ought
to be laid to Knik Arm wiihin one year,
and very likely it might be done
sooner.

nels will begin within a week or two.

As soon as the machinery can he taken
up and installed me work will com
