Henry Bratnober and Major s.
A. Huntington, both of Tacoma, and
who were recently in Cordova on
their way to the new diggings,
reached Shushanna on March IL. In
a letter received here by Mr. Haze
let last night Major Huntington
writes:
I'VE arrived here last night in
splendid condition, although the first
two days on the trail up the river
from Mccarthy We worked in a
storm all the time. We had to break
the trail in front of the dogs most
of the time, but we did the glacier
from Pleasant Valley on in splendid
weather and a fair trail.
I'VE left Shorty Gwinn's at 8
a. m. and arrived at Shushanna at
$40 that afternoon, doing the trip
of So miles across the glacier in
8 hours and 40 minutes, and
carrying 900 pounds. We had IL
dogs, and the people here all tell me
that we made the record trip con-
sidering the weight we carried. Mr..
Bratnober says he has not felt as
we'll in years, and believe me he
looks it.

quite profitable He will give en-
ployment to 20 or 80 men and has
extensive ground to work on Dan
Creek, which flows into the Nizina
river about 10 miles distant from
Mccarthy.
The train from the interior had
no trouble in making good time into
Cordova today, arriving at S:15
o'clock There were not as many
passengers as it was expected would
come in, as the report that large
number were waiting at Chitina
proved erroneous. While the train
was at Miles Glacier one of the
brakemen, Walter Dempster, met
with injuries and was brought to
the hospital, where he is being
attended by DR.. Council.
The passenger train that left Cor
dova for the interior yesterday
morning arrived at Chitina yester-
day afternoon at sos, having no
difficulty at any point in passing
over the line. Most of the passengers
for Fairbanks and other neighbor-
ing points took the stage this morn
ing. Others going as far as Kenne-
colt continued on their way on this
mornings train.

The agitation last fall for an auto
mobile road between Chitina and
Fairbanks is bearing fruit, and it is
expected that in the near future
automobiles will not be uncommon
on the government road. A recent
Fairbanks exchange asys:
ITO engage in the business of
hauling passengers from Chitina out
on the trail toward Fairbanks, Robt
Sheldon left this morning for the
coast, where he is to meet a new
four-passenger Ford automobile.
which is now being shipped to him.
During the remainder of the winter
he will run on the trail from Chitina
toward the interior as far as Gull
kama, although it is also probable
that he will be able to make Pax
sons.
LAS soon as the trail dries up suf-
ficiently in June, Sheldon will re-
peat his feat of last summer by run
ming his car through to Fairbanks.
However, he also expects to pur-
chase a larger car for trail use,
intending to buy one with which he
can haul freight as we'll as pas
Sengers.

Howard D. Fields,

Howard D. Fields, one of the
prominent mining engineers of the
Shushanna country, and who is
looking after big interests in the
interior, was an arrival on Satur-
days train. He will remain in
Cordova about two weeks before re-
turning to the interior. He states
that more active work had been
done during the month previous 10
his coming out than was accom-
plished during the entire winter.
Eight boilers are now at work with
several more about ready to start.
Good pay has been taken out on a
number of claims and Mr.. Fields be-
lieves that rich ground will be I'M
covered. 1t only took him two days,
with dog team to come from Shu-
shank to Mccarthy.

E. ]. Ives, a partner of Frank
Manley and ]. ]. Price in the pur-
chase of certain mining claims in the
Shushanna from w. E. James, VIM.
Johnson and Nels Nelson, took the
train yesterday for the interior. He
will join Mr.. Price, who has been
in the Shushanna for several weeks,
Mr.. lives having found it necessary
to return to Cordova to attend court
in connection with litigation over
some of the bonded claims. He is
taking all his machinery and sup
plies in from Cordova and Mccarthy,
as their experience of getting sup
plies in via the White Horse route in
January was not entirely satisfac-
tory.
The deal that Manley, Ives and
Price have made for extensive
property in the Shushanna involves
a consideration of about 100000.
Early in January a payment OF
100000 was made to James and
Nelson. An additional sum Of
$4,000 was paid by Mr.. Ives to
VIM. Johnson at Cordova the fore
part of this month. That was a part
payment on three claims at the
mouth of Bonanza and four quartz
claims, upon which F. T. Hamshaw
held an option until January "a last,
and which expired. The new owners
of the claims on Bonanza and Edo
RADIO expect to pay royalties of from
40 to so per cent on the pay they
take out, all to apply ON the pur-
chase price. 1t is expected that there

point he will freight his supplies to

companied by H. T. Verde and Wal
lace Williams, both of Seattle. Jack
Horsfeldt was among the first ID
come from Seattle last summer and
got in on some good ground. He
came out in September and has
never wearied in doing good work
for the Shushanna and the trail
from Mccarthy. He has just pur-
chased his seasons supplies from S.
Blum & Co. and expects to do a
large amount of work before he
comes out next fall.
He will work the Elizabeth claim,
on Johnson creek, below the can
yon. Before he left he ground
sluiced for four feet and got good
returns. On the claim adjoining,
known as the Big T." Levy Dahl
has been working this winter. He
put down nine holes to bedrock and
struck good pay. AS a consequence
Jack feels pretty good and will
make the dirt fly after he gels
started again. He says all this
knocking of the Shushanna is pre-
mature, as the work the coming sea
son will undoubtedly open up good
camp.

The temporary blockade on the
Copper River & Northwestern Rail-

A wire was received by this paper
this morning from the Fairbanks
News-Miner inQuiring as to the rail-
road conditions and stating that
wire had been received from Valdez
asserting that there was a perma-
nent blockade on the railroad. OF
course we replied with the real
facts, which are that rotary train
arrived last night at 10 o'clock from
Chitina with mail and that a train
with 100 passengers left Cordova
this morning and was making fine
progress. The probabilities are fur
Their that other than this one short
interruption there is not likely 10
be any further serious blockades
this winter or spring.
