ACTIVE OPERATIONS
 ON COOPER GREEK

The Kenai Mining & Milling Com pany will have three giants and a Ruble gravel elevator at work on Cooper creek by August l. With this the management expects to produce important results before the close ol the season. Most of the hydraulick- ing will be done in the flats, where a big bed of pay gravel was struck last week. Experiments with this in differ ent places show average results of 3l cents a yard. In places above Sl a yard was obtained
 This gravel deposit is of almost in' definite width. It is about nine or ten feet deep and the pay is four to six feet deep. Colors are found from the top. It will be easy to work and can be handled very rapidly.
 The company has been delayed in getting it's equipment ready by the lateness of the spring. The snow is hardly out of the way yet. Ten mer have been at work for several weeks at getting out timber and in a short time about forty will be employed alto gether. Most of these will work or the ditch line, which will bring water down three miles to a Hume, which will carry it further down. An iror pipe line will carry the water from the Hume 25OO feet to the flat where most of the work will be done this summer.

RIVERS WERE
 OPEN MAY 10 Ice Cleared Out of SuSitna and Yentna Early but Boats
 Slow in Starting.

The ice cleared out of the Susitna and Yentna rivers about May 10, open ing them to navigation for the summer. The breakup came about May 6 and a few days grinding cleared out the ice. Up to May 2l, however, no boat had gone up the river, although Red Jack came down from Susitna Station about that time to Tyonok in his launch and returned with flour, of which the station was destitute.
 Woolsey had expected the steamer Tyonic to take gasoline to him at Tyonok for his Yentna launch Bat, but as the Tyonic failed to do so he had the steamer tow him down to Seldovia, where he had supply of gasoline.
 The news that the rivers were open early was brought in Monday by P. R. Strong, a miner from Clear creek, branch of the Talkeetna river, who has been working all winter on claims owned by himself and Dr. Sleem. He had just completed a wing dam and other requirements for working his property when the ice breakup car ried everything out. It was unusually formidable this year, piling up from bank to bank, and finally going out in one grand rush.
 Strong came down to the Talkeetnai where he built a rough boat, in which he reached the station. From there he came to Tyonok with Red Jack and in the Tyonic to Sunrise, mushing over from that place. He left Clear creek May l9 and came through in eight days.
 It is estimated that 400 men are in the Susitna and Yentna districts, Mir. Strong says. This estimate is made by Finch at Tyonok, Churchill at the Station and others familiar with the travel.

BRIDGE BUILDING
 PROGRESSING WELL

Good progress in bridge construc' tion on mile 30 is reported by J. B.. Cameron, engineer of construction of the Alaska Central, who came in from the front last night. The Howe truss across the moraine just beyond the end of the track will be completed within the next ten days and work will then be concentrated on the trestles which cross Placer river on mile 5l on "the loop" Operations up to this time have been handicapped be the snow.
 As soon as the truss bridge is com pleted track-laying will be resumed. A little more gravel has to be taken out of the deep cut in the hill this side af the moraine to bring it down to grade level and then the rails will be laid through it, across the bridge and around the foothills to the first trestle on the loop.
 Watson x Snow wired out this week 10 Seattle for 300 men for extra gangs, who will be placed along the grade in different places.
 The contractors have been waiting several weeks for the snow to disap- pear from the portions of the line where the first work has to be done to facilitate construction. The warm weather and rains of the past two weeks have nearly wiped out the snow and the increase in the working force is the result.

BIG FIGHT ON
 GOV. HOGGATT
Alaska Papers Protest Against His Acting as MOuthPiece

Hog catt as the chief representative of Alaska at the function of breaking ground toy the AlaSka-Yukon-Pacihc exposition in Seattle tomorrow, has been sent to the Sound city by a majority of Alaska newspapers, tele- graphic report says nearly all
 The Gateway was invited by wire from the Fairbanks News three days ago to ioin in this manifesto but while in full sympathy with the motive which inspired the movement declined to enlist for the war on the ground that such action is impolitic.
 Gov. Hoggatt is the executive head of the territory-to the regret of a majority of it's inhabitants-and accord ing to the rule which prevails on such occasions as the one involved, IS the proper fgurehead to participate in the mummery which custom ordains. Be- sides this Gov. Hoggatt is an amiable gentleman and no harm could result from his appearance as the Alaska fgurehead at the ground-breaking ceremony.
 The Gateway abstained from the present crusade also because the Seat tie exposition is an Alaska institution only in name, and Seattle is entitled to invite it's own guests to its own pink tea.
 From Fairbanks the Gateway re- ceived the following message Thursday night:
