COAL WASHING AT
MOOSE CREEK
Plant for Doherty Mine Arrives and
Improved Output Is
Expected
Coal washing machinery, the first
complete plant of its kind brought into
the territory, has been shipped to the
Doherty mine at Moose creek. The
machinery will be installed as rapidly
as possible and it is expected to be
in operation in less than a month.
The machinery is operated by steam
and the installation of boilers and the
driving machinery is also necessary.
The coal is handled in a large funnel
and screen and is not only washed
free of impurities but is graded ac
cording to size.
The Doherty company shipped the
first commercial coal ever mined in
the Matanuska fields and are also
showing the way in the installation of
equipment by which the value of their,
product, both to themselves and the |
consumer may be enhanced. The ad
i dition of the coal washing plant rep
resents a $5000 investment.

“K I’M BACK* ON THE ARM
TO RUN AT EARLY DATE
The launch4*Kumback.” owned by
Charles Nutter, anil operated between
Kern creek and Anchorage, will be
back on the run soon in spite of the
storm which put it on the beach at
Fire Island recently.
The “Kumback” needs a new shoe
and a part of the keel must be re
placed and the steering post will be
re-babbited while the craft is on the
ways. Repairs to the rudder complete
the work necessary.

GOOD ROADS
This Sum Available for Feeders to the
Government Line in
Matanuska
Before leaving for the south, Col.
Richardson announced that there was
$80,000 available for expenditure on
wagon road feeders to the government
railroad in the Matanuska and Willow
Creek distrcts.
The work will be under supervison
of Supt. Antone Eide, and O. A. Hall,
designing engineer for the Alaska
road commission, who will co-operate
with Frederick E. Rader, of the gov
ernment experimental station, and Jas.
E. Wilson, territorial road overseer of
the district.
Mr. Hall has been with the commis
sion for two years and designed the
Fairbanks bridge and also the one over
the little Susitna at Mile 27^2 on the
Knik road, which has received such
favorable comments from the people
of the district.

Livengood Creek, in the Tolovana
district, is now completely lined up
with dumps and workings, even the
little interstices and fractions all be
ing busy and making a showing. One
thing is certain—that Livengood, its
pups, and opposing pups over the di
vide, carry much gold—but prohibi
tive food and water supply are going
to count heavily against successful
mining. No outfits have shut down,
however, but all are courageously con
tinuing in the face of all difficulty.

Automobiles are so numerous in Ju
neau that they have become a nui
sance. They rush in such numbers to
the dock when steamers arrive that
complaints are being made against
this annoying practice.

High Water of July 12th Puts Two
Feet of Moisture in Railroad
Camp
From Talkeetna comes the report
that there was a raging flood on the
Susitna river on July 12th, which put
water all over the town until it stood
two feet deep in the stores.
Continued rains increased the big
stream to a height above all old high
water marks but the crest soon passed
and the water was much lower on the
following day.

NOTES
Clear weather is reported all along
the line today, except at Matanuska
and King river on the coal branch.

A fine new railroad crossing sixty
feet wide has been put in at Wasilla
at foot of Main street and all travel to
the Willow creek mines will be routed
through the principal thoroughfare of
the town.
J. D. Johnston, from Wooodrow,
near Seward, is spending a few days
in Wasilla looking over the situation
in regards to business and is highly
