STATION CONTRACTORS COMPLETING WORK
ON ARM; TWO MILES OF POTTER FILL DONE
The following contracts were com-i
pleted during the week: J. A. Kranske
£ Co., Stations 2378 to 2393, Mile 95;
E. Burgland & Co., 2544 to 2553, Mile
98; A. Tsakumis & Co., 2(>9l to 2712,
Mile 101.
The Commission force in the cut at
Bird Point, which was abandoned by
Teko & Co., are making satsfactory
progress despite the difficult material
encountered. The Commission force at
Sheep Creek with equally hard mate
rial, is also progressing well. Two
shifts are used on coyote work and
jack hammers, in the latter cut, where
derricks have been placed at each end.
Enough material is shot up at each
end of the cut to keep both derricks
going until the coyote hole is driven,
pockets loaded and shot. The Commis
sion force at Mile 99 has driven a coy
! ote for borrow at Station 2(»30, and
will be ready to shoot within a few
j days
The steam shovel at Nig Kaoou is
handling a satisfactory amount of ma
terial, notwithstanding the extremely
long haul across the Potter Creek
flats, the low fills and the diftiuclty
in keeping up track. The fill across
the flats is practically completed for
two miles. The steam shovel work be-1
tween Rabbit and Potter Creek will
be finished within two weeks.
Jim Kucel & Co., south of McHugh
Creek, fired the coyote pockets which
failed to explode when the attempt
was made several days previous. The
shot was successful but a large yard- !
age would have been obtained had all
the pockets exploded at one time.
Clearing Rightof-Way
Only one firm of contractors, Col
lins & Co., between Bird Point and
Glacier Creek, are at work on clear
ing. When their section is complet
ed. right-of-way will have been
