TRACK LAID TO
j CHICKALOON
The tracklaying machine has com
pleted laying rail as far as Chicka
loon on the branch line and the crew
and machine have been moved to mile
174.
From there the laying of rail from
the Little Susitna toward Talkeetna
will begin and several miles will be
pushed in that direction as the grade
has been ready for track for some
time.
The standard guage track has been
extended from Rabbit to Potter creek,
about four miles, and the main line
steel was completed to the big camp
Saturday.

MINING NOTES
From reports received in Fairbanks
from Fox recently it is very evident
that Goldstream did not start to pro
duce until after August 1 of this year.
The largest of the open cut porators
on the creek had not yet started to
sluice on August 3rd. They have been
held back, it is stated, by the work of
clearing the overburden from the cuts
and are just now ready to scrape the
pay gravel into their boxes. Henry
Wagner is reported to have cleaned
up one cut this summer; one that he
made ready last fall, and is now pre
paring another cut for the scraper.
Harry Atwood and E. I>. Collins will
also be ready to start scraping the
pay into the boxes within the next
few days.
All dredges in the Council section
on Seward peninsula are reported run
ning in good shape at the present
time although several are bothered by
the frost which has failed to leave the
ground as yet owing, doubtless to the
generally cold weather. The Wild
Goose dredge is still employing fuel
for motive power as the work of
changing the dredge to an electrical
ly driven machine is not completed.
W. J. Rowe, of Nome, has sent a
large outfit to Arctic creek, in the
Penny river district, for J. F. Stev
enson, a recent arrival from Ruby.
Stevenson has secured a lay on some
property in the Arctic section and
contemplates considerable work dur
ing the remainder of the season.
The steamer Cordova carried over
twenty-two tons of Alaska tin from
the York region when she departed
from Nome for the Outside recently.
The Valdez, which sailed some time
back also carried a total of sixty tons
of tin concentrates. To date a total
of one hundred and ten tons of the
crude ore has been forwarded to the
Outside markets. Most of the prod
uct was mined hist year but could not
be forwarded on account of the very
stormy weather during the late fall.
The consignments represent a consul-!
erable value, as tin is quoted at TO
cents a pound in the Outside markets
with excellent prospects for further
advances owing to the great war time
demand .

MONTEREY FOR
MCFARLAND
Edward R. McFarland, superintend
ent of the T. and T. department of
the A. E. C., left Anchorage last week
for Monterey on the Crook. Mr. Mc
Farland was commissioned a captain
in the signal section of the officers’ re
serve corps on July 30, and his com
mission and orders to report for duty
came August 17th. Miss Edna McFar
land, his daughter, will accompany him
outside.
Mr. McFarland has been with the
commission lines ever since they were
strung and under his supervision the
wires have kept pace with the pushing
of work along the railroad. He has
always striven to give Anchorage the
best possible cable service to the
states, and the restoratoin of night
letter service recently was due in a
large measure to his efforts.
For a number of years Mr. McFar
land followed the telegraph lines all
through the interior and is thoroughly
acquainted with Alaska and its com
municating systems. He has also had
previous experience in the army and
his new position will not be strange'
to him.
