RIVER RAILROAD OUT
 OF BUSINESS
BRIDGES DESTROYED BY FIRE ALSO CAUSES MINES
 TO CLOSE DOWN.

James Rockefeller, the Northern Commercial company's agent sta toned at Chitina. arrived in the city Thursday, accompanied by his fam fly. navigating the trail with his own car He will stay in town but 8 short time.
 Mr Rockefeller reports that the Copper River X Northwestern rail road is out of business and will not be in a position to resume opera lions before the 2Oth of the month. This is caused by the destruction of some of the bridges of the line by the recent forest firse which covered practically all of that sec tion. A portion of the Kennecott bridge was destroyed and the big Gulhina bridge, which was built entirely of wood, was totally destroyed. It is estimated by the officials of the company that it will cost $25,O00 10 replace the latter structure.
 On account of the trains not being able to reach the mines they had to close down, which means loss to the company of at least $40,000 a day. as they have contracted to de liver a certain amount of copper every week for the allies.
