EXTRA WINTER WORK
The construction work on bridges along the Seward
Kenai lake highway by the Bureau of Public Roads aug
ers well for additional local activities this winter and
from a financial standpoint will assist materially.
It is estimated that a sum of approximately $40,000 i
will be spent on this winter project and of this at least |
one-half will be spent on labor.

The California ruling on permitting teachers to wed i
at anytime never did bother our pretty Alaskan faculty i
members; and probably never will.
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OF THRILLS
Mayor-General A. W. Greely, retired, has just finish
ed a book of reminiscences at the age of 83, covering the
65 years of his life since he joined the Union Army as a
boy fresh from high school. It is entitled “Reminiscences
of Adventures and Services: A record of 65 Years.”
It might well be called “65 Years of Thrills.”
The story is simply and modestly told“too modestly
to do the gallant narrator justice
A contemporary refers to the recent observance of
“Constitution Weak.” But no wonder, considering that
it is 140 years old.
It is said that Eskimos enjoy having their teeth pull
ed. Also, a good many Americans seem to enjoy having
their legs pulled.
A machine for making cobwebs has been invented,
perhaps with the idea of camouflaging alleged prewar
stuff.
A scientist is trying to determine the cause of insom
nia. He might investigate the activities of politicians
and the 57 bureaus.
“Even if Anchorage was good I wouldn’t like it,”
remarked an oldtimer yesterday. He must have heard
that late record “Two Black Crows.”

UNITED VERDE COPPER
COMPANY IS OPERATING
OATMAN COLD MINE:
KINGMAN, Ariz., Get. . 20, (/P)— j
The United Verde Copper company j
has been working a force of men on j
the Oatman Eureka the past two '
weeks and has been making great j
progress in the unwatering of the j
shaft of the Lucky Boy, thru'which j
company operations are to be car- \
ried on. New machinery is to be in- j
stalled and power lines have been j
surveyed from the nearby electric j
ly equipped property to the mine and j
a complete electric plant of machine- \
ry is to be installed.
Until that is done the present [
equipment will be used. Since las j
week the water ,has been expelled j
from the 250 level to a depth of 315 j
feet. The shaft timbers below the j
water are apparently in good condi
tion, which will make progress quite j
rapid to the 500, whence a crosscut j
is to be carried into the Eureka vein. |
The foundations for the new mach- j
inery have been cast and the com- j
pressor is already on the ground and j
th6 other machinery is reported to be I
on the way.
A large number of men who have j
been engaged on Bureau of Public I
Road work in the Moose Pass coun- \
try arrived in town last night.
