matanuska district.
Matanuska Branch. t
The construction camps at mile 24,
mile 27 and mile 36 have been practic
ally completed and a building crew
has commenced the construction of a'
camp at mile 32.
All the rock work between Kings
river and the north end of Hole-in-the
Wall has been covered by contracts,
and as fast as the contractors com
plete the building of camps they start
on clearing right-of-way. It is im
practical to establish contractors on
the section between the north end of
Hole-in-the-Wall and camp 32 until
after the river freezes sufficiently to
bear the weight of freight teams. The
continued mild weather has caused the
river to remain open, and at present it
appears unlikely that contractors can
be started to work in that section for
some time to come. Camp 36 is being
supplied by means of double-enders
over the old Chickaloon trail, as are
most of the contractors located be
tween camp 32 and Chickaloon. All
but three contractors on the latter
stretch are at work clearing right-of
way.
Operations above camp 32 are lm
ited to camp building and clearing,
and will so continue until freighting
can be done over the river.
The following contracts are in force
at present on the Matanuska branch:
Chas. Berg & Co., E. Schedin & Co.,
Henry Hanson & Co., Fred Johnson
& Co., Jankow & Co., Kargin & Co.,
N. Davis & Co., Pete Iverson & Co.,
Mike Divyak & Co., Frank Svarko
& Co., Christ Pappadis & Co., Tony
Pappas & Co.
Contracts will be let shortly to the
following:
Aronson & Co., Erickson & Co., Har
ris & Co., Merrick & Co.
With the signing of the last-named
contracts all rock work east of Kings
river will have been covered, and no
further contracts will be let until next
summer.
All the freight teams needed for
winter hauling have been brought to
Kings river, and the damps below
Hole-in-the-Wall are now being sup
plied over the wagon road.
Main Line.
The Cottonwood creek trestle has
been driven and the piledriver crew is
at W'ork on the stretch of swamp two
miles above Knik wagon road. As
soon as the structure at the latter
place is finished the piledriver crew
will deck the trestles already driven
and move on to camp 166. Camp 156
will then be reduced to a feeding sta
tion for freight teams.
All contractors between Matanuska
and Little Susitna have completed
their work, with the exception of
Plackus & Co., McCartin & Co., Rice
& Co., H. Johnson & Co., Olson & Co.,
and Anderson & Co. When these have
finished the grading will be completed
between Matanuska and the Little Su
sitna, with the exception of a mile be
tween 172 and 173. This stretch will
be covered by contract in the near fu
ture, and by spring all grading will
have been completed and all structures
driven north of Matanuska as far as
the Little Susitna.
North of the Little Sustna river, a
camp has been established at Browne’s

Work beyond camp 174 is also sus

cold storage plant and the mess hall;
one 10-KW. at the steam heating
plant; and one 15-KW. at the east end
of the carpenter shop.
Lighting fixtures have been placed
in cottages Nos. 23 to 28, inclusive. A
part of the cable for running leads un
der the railroad tracks was installed,

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy .Mill la designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore (todies with
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of pay ere
to mill ami ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing
—at as low a cost as possible.
It is not a toy mill or a makeshift In any way but a mill constructed
on scientific principles and npial In efficiency as anv stamp of the same
weight. The 2000 pound mill has two stamps of :(2o pounds each and drop
at 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can he increased very easily hv placing springs on the
stamp stents or the weight of the blow he increased wit It additional'
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and Is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir,
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill Is so constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. .Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces
screens easily removed—the whole trout and hack cun'be removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tnpoets arranged to clamp on a screw,
thread so that tile wear can be easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill is simple,
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties iPthey show us their properties are <) K We "an
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, tigs, tables
etc., at market prices.
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and this pulp run over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have sucli properties or if you wish further particulars.
Yours truly,
