rangements are made in the mean
time to take over the Tanana Valley

reached to parallel it to Sheep creek.
Chairman Kdes, of the Alaskan En
gineering commission, and talcon
Joslin, president of the Tanana Val

This news is brought to Fairbanks by
the representatives of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, who arrived
on the boat today.
If the commission buys the road, as
is possible, the road will be rebuilt as
far as Sheep creek at least. It ft is |
not purchased, and it is decided de- j
finitely that the commission will not
take over the road, work of parallel

QUARTZ CLEANUP PROVES
HOMSTEAK IS VERY RICH
FAIRBANKS. — Joe Henderson,
who with Foss and Farvin, has been
working on the Homesteak quartz
mine at the head of Fairbanks creek
for some time, reached Fairbanks
yesterday with a good cleanup, the re
sult of the milling of 20 torus of ore
from the rich but narrow ledge of the
Homesteak mine. Mr. Henderson re
ports that the ore averaged $100 to
the ton. The ledge is a narrow one,
and must be carefully worked to yield
a profit even as rich us it is. l*oss &
Farvin have been working on the mine
for several years and with Mr. Hen
derson will continue to work it, hop
ing that the ledge will widen out.—

DELICATE OPERATION
SUCCESSFULL V PER FORMED
ANCHORAGE.—Drs. Reedy and
Beeson performed a minor operation
on Mrs. Dr. McBride’s neck Saturday
afternoon at the government hospital.
It will be remembered that in coming
over the trail from Seward last March
Mrs. McBride received very painful
injuries to her face and neck when the
dog team ran the sled into a dead
tree along the side of the trail. At
the time there was no medical as
sitance available, and in healing the
wound left a bad scar which was re
moved by the operation yesterday.
Mrs. McBride will experience no par
ticular inconvenience, as the operation
was not serious.—Ex.
GOOD PROSPECTS,

FAIRBANKS.—Returning from the
Goodpaster country, where Johnson
Brothers and Solley working on
Michigan creek uncovered some fair
prospects, E. L. Rose, John May and
Guy Turpin report that there is notn
ing to warrant a stampede to that
country from the discovery of The
Johnson boys.
The Goodpaster is a likely looking
country and may some day develop
something but just at this time a
stampede is not warranted. The trip
i down was a hard one.—Times.
