Work on Tonsina Bridge
To Start February First

Word has been received from the
Alaska Road Commission that work
on the Tonsina bridge will begin not
later than February 1st. AS was
stated in the Leader last fall, after
the completion of the cutoff trail,
work would begin on this bridge ear
ly in the new year. The building of
this crossing will facilitate summer
travel to Fairbanks and interior
points and with the appropriation
that Major Richardson expects from
this session of Congress for the
building of Alaska roads, 1t is believ-
ed that the mail, which has hereto
fore gone to Skagway and down the
Yukon, may be taken in this way.

FIRE LOSSES ANHCABLY
ADJUSTED IN FAIRBANKS

G. r. Sumpter, the insurance adj
juster for the different fire insurance
companies issuing policies in Fair
banks, who recently passed through
Chitina ON his way to the interior
city returned on the last stage, hav-
ing adjusted all the losses sustained
there by the recent fire. He stated
that it required less than three days
to adjust tn losses, all of which were
satisfactorily settled with the excep-
ton of the Miller & Winning build
ing, in which were located the Frac-
ton saloon and the B and B cigar
store. The owners of this building
are now outside and Mr.. Sumpter
will settle with them as soon as he
reaches Seattle. He states that the
fire did not do so much damage as
first reported and the adjustment
could have been made without his
making the trip, the approximate
payment on policies totalling about
900, nearly $4,000 less than the
sixteen companies, whom Mr.. Stump
ter represented, expected to pay.

Clifford Cayouette, French Ca
madam who has been in the Nizina
country since 1908, was an arrival
in Chitina the first of this week. Mr..
Cayouette and his brother are large
holders of placer property on Dan
creek, and from the report he and
other miners, as we'll as many pros
pectors who have been through that
section of country, bring in, the
output of gold from the tributaries
of the Nizina will make many Alas
kans sit up and take notice this COM
ing fall, particularly on Dan, Chit
itu, Young, Rex Gulch and Copper
creeks. Mr.. Cayouette is interested
in fourteen groups of claims on Dan
creek and two on Copper creek, be-
sides having half and fractional in
terests in other individual claims On
Copper creek.
To a Leader representative Mr..
The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1911-01-21

recorded several claims with the
commissioner, and said he was sorry
he didn't have more to record in
that vicinity. He also secured the
power of attorney from Joe Des-
champs, who owns an interest with
him there, so if he decides to sell
to the parties negotiating for the
properties he can turn over all the
groups of claims in a bunch. Rumor
has it that he may, or even has dis
posed of some of his holdings, and
that contracts are being figured on
for taking the machinery from the
railroad to the mines, for a large
concern who will work the ground
on an extensive scale this coming
season. Anyway, the poke Of gold
he brought in made the old-timers
around here, as we'll as the checha-
cos wish they had property in that
vicinity.

NEW FREIGHT TARIFF
TOOK EFFECT ON 18TH

The slash in freight rates recently
made by the Katalla Company, went
into effect on the 18th, the freight
arriving on Thursday nights train
being the first to arrive with the new
tariff rate. The Katalla Company
has been planning this reduction for
some time and now that the rates
are in effect, considerable difference
in freighting to the interior will be
noted. The rate on canned goods,
coffee, -four, staples and the abso-
lutte necessities of life for the people
of the interior, is virtually cut in
half, while perishables and other
goods, are also greatly reduced. Now
that the prospector, freighter and
outfitter can get practically all his
staples laid down at Chitina for ST.
rs per hundred, a big increase in
supplies will undoubtedly soon be
noted, and shows that the Katalla
Company is willing and anxious to
meet the people half way in live and
let live, all of which tends toward
more rapid development of this great
northland and which has ever been
the policy of the officials of the Cop
per River & Northwestern railway.
That they are, and will continue to
be, the chief factor in the develop
ment of this territory, no one can
deny.

DIR. WHITING BACK FROM
TWO MONTHS VACATION

DR.. B. F. Whiting, who has been
in charge of all the hospitals for the
construction company since the be-
ginning Of the railroad from Cor
dova, returned to Chitina on Thurs
day nights train after an absence
of about two months in the states.
The well known and popular medico
looks bigger and jollier than ever,
and his many friends were glad to
see him with us once more.
I'm good now until the goal is
reached" said the doctor to a Lead
er man.. "The worst, or most dan
gerous part of our work is over,
and there will be but little use for
hospitals, l hope, though of course
it's best 10 be always prepared, and
our medical stores and hospitals will
be equipped with the best of every
thing until the work is finished"
There was no construction work
while the Kuskulana bridge was I'M
der construction, and the doctor took
advantage of a well-earned vacation,
but now that work has again re-
sumed, he will be found at the front

SUPT. MURCHESON RETURNS
AND WILL RUSH CONSTRUCTION

Supt. Samuel Murchison, of the
M. ]. Heney construction company,
who has been absent for some time
on a trip to the states, returned to
Chitina on Thursday evenings train
and left for the front the same night.
In a short interview with a Leader
representative Mr.. Murchison said:
"I've been kept well informed of
conditions at the front during my
absence, end am satisfied the work
has progressed just as well as
though I had been here, but never
theless I'm glad to get back and help
to get the work finished. We should
be nearly ready to drive the golden
spike by May LIST, possibly earlier,
as we have about 800 men actively
at work, and am informed the steel
is being laid so far at the rate of
about one mile per day, including
the small bridges. The steel is now
at mile 1853, and should be at the
long bridge at mile 100 by Sunday.
1t will take about ten days or two
weeks to finish this bridge, accord
ing to Bridge Supt. p. ]. O'Brien,
after which the work can go on as
rapidly as heretofore. A crew Of
about thirty expert bridgemen arriv-
ed on tonight's train with us, and
the work will be rushed as rapidly
As possible"

Major Richardson strongly favors
the idea end is of the opinion that
it will require but little work to put
the trail in condition to handle the
mail and summer travel. A num-
Der of influential Fairbanks citizens
and others of the interior country
who have passed through Chitina al
SO favor the idea and state that If the
mail can only be handled ten or
eleven months in the year this way,
the interior people would be salts
fed, for a saving of at least two
weeks can be made on each trip, the
mail around by Dawson from Seat
tie often taking from three to six
weeks to arrive at its destination.

Mail Schedule IS Maintained
In Spite of High Winds

The worst storm which has struck
Alaska in several years, caused the
regular local train to be tied up sew
eral days at mile IS this week, but
no serious conditions resulted from
the tie-up, and by the prompt and
energetic action of the Katalla Co.
in relaying trains, the mail from
the interior was taken through for
the steamers on schedule time.
When the storm and tie-up was
first reported, it was amusing to hear
the one or two Valdez sympathizers
howl: Il told you so. Your train
is stuck. Now, how are you 60
ing to get the mail through" These
howlers made no mention of the fact

Cayouette stated that he had been
offered 100000 for his holdings,
but considers them worth more mon
ey, and that the people who were
trying to secure the property realized
that it is one of the best hydraulic
propositions in this part of the coun-
try.
"Of course" said he, there hasn't
been much of a showing made as
yet, for all the gold that has been
taken out has been done by sluic-
ing, but the gold is there, and hun
dreds of acres of fine bench land is
only waiting for the giants. l con-

of which has been proven by suffi-

plant would be installed on Dan
creek this coming season. I've heard
The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1911-01-21

that even the mail steamers could
not reach Valdez on time and had
nothing to say when asked what
they thought of Thompson's Pass
during the severe wind storm. Fact
of the matter is, the mail off the
Alameda was landed nearly as soon
as it was in Valdez This statement
was made by R. ]. Barry, of the
Alaska Steamship Co., who arrived
in Chitina on Wednesday night. In
a short interview with a Leader rep
resentative Mr.. Barry said:
''The storm was too severe for
man beast or steam to face, as the
engineers could not see ten feet
ahead of their engines, so they did

it, too, but mind you it is only a
rumor. I'll say, however, that if a
plant does go in there this year
there'll be some surprises in store
for many who have heretofore be-
lieved the properties in our vicin-
ity were only prospects. Now that
your railroad is here, something for
which we miners have been praying
for years, heavy hydraulic machin-
cry can be brought in, and l do not
hesitate to say that within two years
