WILL WORK PLACERS
Locators of Big Tract to Install
 Hydraulic System

Next spring an extensive hydraulic system will be installed by the three men who recently located torty-four placer claims on the east side of Kenai peninsula near Port Nel Juan. The Iocators are II. Anderson, R. R. Abney and J. W. Sumran. They will incorp- crate company this winter to control the property and in February AIr. An derson will return with the necessary material to work the claim by the hy- draulic system.
 Ample water power exists on acreek which the IocatorS named Money creek. and on this they claimed 2;O0O inches of water. The creek has q very steep descent and in one place perpendicu- lar fall of sixty feet. A ditch 5000 feet long will be constructed to carry the water to the place where hydraulic operations will begin. A sawmill will be erected to furnish lumber for the Hume and otherpurposes. At the start 40, ,O0O feet will be required. All the machinery will be taken in over the snow and considerable force of men will be employed.
 As stated last week in the Gateway Mir. Anderson discovered this property in 1898, when he came north to join in the Copper river rush. He has worked there at intervals ever since and ob' tained results by simple banning which satisfied him that the property would be bonanza as a hydraulic proposition, but never had money enough himself to work it extensively. Since he dis covered it he has been in many parts of Alaska, coming north every year except 1904. This summer hea s,ciat- edwith him MesSrs. Sumrall and Abney, and they came north together and re- located the property.

 Mr. Nelson said that the mains will be extended as fast aS building in any direction will justify it. The system contemplated at present will be tinisa- ed within a few weeks.
 The wooden mains, prepared with a tar covering, are entirely satisfactory to the owners of the plant. When the water was turned into them on Fourth avenue only two slight leaks appeared and these were at tle joints anl were easily stopped, so that tLe main is now in perfect condition.

HOW RAILROAD
 WAS FINANCED
Major BaIIaIne Tells of Retirement of Shedd Syndicate and Taking
 Over by Frost.

Why the Frost syndicate of Chicago capitalists was substituted for the Shedd syndicate in the financial back ing of the Alaska Central Railway has been the source of a great deal of spec ulation in Seward and in all other towns along the Alaskan coast. No authoritative reason has ever been published but many fanciful ones have gone the rounds of the press.
 Mai. J. F.. Ballaine, who promoted the Alaska Central from it's inception and is the only person who knows every detail of every transaction connected with the promotion of the enterprise, was requested by the Gateway this morning tomake an authoritatives state mont on the subject as a matter of general interest.
 In reply he gave Uni, statement:
 Under the terms of the contract with the Shedd syndicate 1 had the privilege of rcpaying them, at any time before February 1, l9oG, the amounts they had advanced, plus a stipulated bonus.
 "E. \. Shedd was very frank in sly ing to me last summer that he had come to Seward prepared to discount all previous statements 5O per cent, and even then be satisfied, but instead he declared that the strongest state mcut, concerning the climate, rcSom- ccs. havbor and general conditions connected with the Alaska Central had not been one half as strong as the facts would justify. He was willing to con- tinuc supplying funds for the complct- ion of the road to the Tanaia river, he assured me, sufficiently to push the work at a rate of at least loo miles a
 year. But he insisted on d reorgani- cation of thecompany and consequent wiping out of all interests except my own.
 Participating such a possibility | had organized two other syndicateS, either of which stood ready to take the place of the Shedd syndicate and carry the work 10 completion on basis ac- cording full protection to everybody.
 "I preferably closed with the Frost syndicate, who paid the Shedds off land took over thesecwities they held.
 "The Frost syndicate is composed of the ,uuarcst lot of men ever had ddeal- fngs with. and is strong enough to build several railroads Mir. Frost himself is a young man of exceptional ability, He has made a fortune by his own efforts,
 and in doing so has always been con-
 siderate of the rights of others. l re-
 gard Mr.. Frost as one of the strongest men in Chicago in point of character and general business equipment. As cverybodyin Seward knows, the Alaska ! Central k being constructed as sub- >tantialIy as any of the transcontinentaI roads. That is NIr. Frost's style. He believes thoroughly that the Alaska . Central is opening the richest mineral country in the world, and his purpose k to provide for the development of those resources in the most efficient manner"

ALASKA MEN AT PORTLAND
R. Fl. Kemp Addressed Trans
 Mississippi Congress

Randall II. Kemp, who returned home on the steamer Portland, reports that much interest was shown in Alas ka by delegates to the Trans-NIiSsissippi congress at Portland, Oregon. Mir. Kemp made a speech to the congress. He was frequently interruptedby quest ions which showed a desire to acquire information concerning the territory. The Portland Telegram in its account of the convention says;
 'Delegates from Alaska to the con- gress did not arrive in Portland until Saturday afternoon, and therefore too late to participate in the deliberations of the body until Saturday night. Randall H. Kemp, of Seward, headed this contingent, and came as the per- sonal representative of Governor Brady. Mir. Kemp addressed the convention and told of the development of that territory during the past few years. The delegation consisted of MT. Kemp, w. J. Allen and John R. Dodson." "
