ing of all the three-room and five
room cottages has been finished, with
the exception of No. 17.

Matanuska Branch.
There has been little change in
working conditions a throughout the

above Hole-in-the-Wall, and it is ex
pected freighting over the ice into

menced in earnest. The camp at

U. S. SURVEYS IN ALASKA.
(Alaska Railroad Record)
During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1916 all field and office work in
connection with the coal areas in Mat
anuska, Bering river and Nenana coal
fields was completed in time for open
ing the coal lands under the leasing
act. Plats of township surveys, ap
proved by the surveyor-general and
sent up for acceptance amount to over
350,000 acres, which is about one-half
of the total area of surveyed land in
the territory. The secretary of the
interior, in his last annual report, rec
ommends that an appropriation of
$50,000 be made for the prosecution
of surveys in Alaska this year, and
the continuance of the policy of group
surveys under the present system of
investigation, selection and execution.
Formal announcement of the open
ing of the coal fields of Matanuska
and Bering river to leasing privileges
was made May 18, 1916, resulting in
six applications in the Matanuska field
and two in the Bering river field, pro
posing a maximum investment of
nearly $3,000,000.
Under section 10 of the coal-leas
ing act, which authorizes free permits
to mine coal on small tracts for do
mestic use, 15 permits have been is
sued. The estimated annual output
under these permits is 142,700 tons.
The new United States map shows
the extension of the public surveys
during the fiscal year to an area of
8,855,724 acres. The issuance of a
general map of Alaska during 1917 is
announced by the commissioner of
the general land office, which will
show all. recent work in the public and
coal land surveys, also the line of tht
government railroad and the several
towns located thereon.

HOLITNA, PROMISING CREEK
IN THE KUSKOKWIM COUNTRY
ANIAK—Fred Tittel, “the man
who found pay on Candle” with a
crew of men and two power drilling
outfits, reached Kuskokwim river late
in the summer from Seattle by way
of the portage considering traveling
by boat from Seattle a little too haz
ardous. He brought two boats across
the portage, one a seven-ton boat,
equipped with powev. His men are at
work somewhere on the Holitna,
where he is confident that they will
find the paystreak that all the pros
pectors have for years believed to ex
ist there.
Among the prospectors whose faith
in the Holitna is very strong is Tom
Taylor. Last winter was his third
winter there, and was the best season
he has seen for freezing down holes,
which was the method he used for
sinking to bedrock. The past winter
was noted for having no soft spells.
Mr. Taylor found a very large body
of gravel running from IV2 to 3
cents to the pan for seven feet in
depth, but practically nothing when
he found bed rock, where he natural
ly expected to find good pay. Mr. |
Taylor’s faith is only strengthened, so j
he put sideboards on his boat and is |
taking in an extra large outfit. For j
eight months last winter Mr. Taylor |
did not see a white man or hear any i
news of the outside world.—-Ex.

Where Do You
Keep Your
Money?
Meyer Daniels had been accumulating
money for three years. It amounted to $1,700.
Instead of putting it in a Bank, where it would
be safe, he kept it in his house. His house was
destroyed by fire, and this $1,700 in paper
money, representing three years’ economy, was
consumed.
If you are keeping money in your house, you
, are running the risk of its loss by fire. Your
insurance policy does not cover money de
* stroyed by fire.
Open an account with us and your money will be secure from fire
and theft.
