STEEL NEARING
 LYNN COAL MINE SOUTH OF TOWN
Over Half a Mile of Steel Was Laid Yesterday; End of D Line Will
 Soon Be Reached.

The rapidity with which the work of tracklaying can be accomplished with the aid of the appliances now in use was again demonstrated, when the steel gang, under Foreman Thomas K. Blakey laid 2SO0 feet of track yesterday during the eight working hours.
 The end of steel yesterday even- ing when the steel gang quit work for the day had reached Station No. 1S254, leaving a distance of 12,600 feet to be covered to reach the point where the D line converges on the old location at Station No. 1S138. The work done by the steel gang yesterday was very good con- sidering the fact that they worked in a gale of wind which hampered their movements to some extent and made working conditions very un- pleasant.
 From the point where the D line and the old location meet distance of 5000 feet will carry the steel to Lynn's mine at Station 1SO7S, and it is expected that this will be accomplished in a few days more, The building of spur track leading to the mine tipple will soon be taken in hand and it won't be long before a large quantity of this fuel will be made available for the use of the Alaskan Engineering commission in the power plant and on the loco- motives.
 On reaching the end of the D line, a permanent siding will be put in which will hold back the extension of the road to the coal mine for a day or so, at most
 A mile or so beyond the point where the old and new lines meet, the road strikes the hill country and the roadbed is cut along the slope of the hills, running almost parallel with the Nenana river for several miles. Emerging from the through cut near the A. E. c. store, known as the Russell cut, the road bed is carried through a formation of boulders and heavy gravel along the slope of the hills, and a fine view is obtained of the Nenana river rushing swiftly by, about one hun dred feet below the road.
 The river is visible from the road for several miles, when wide sweep hides it from view again until considerable distance has been covered and it then comes into view for very short distance. From a point about six miles beyond the A. E. c. store at 35-mile, the road runs through rather heavily wooded flat country, striking the hills again within two or three miles of the old engineering camp at the Nenana crossing at 43-mile, where the first big bridge on the main line carries the track across the Nenana river.
 The grade is completed in every detail for the entire distance from the end of steel to the waters edge at the Crossing, and also for a con- siderable distance after the river has been crossed, toward the Lignite coal fields.
 The country in the neighborhood of the Nenana Crossing and on to- wards Lignite is very pretty; there are roadhouses at the Crossing and at Lignite, and picnics and excur- sions should be among the possi- bilities for Nenanaites in the near future.

THROWS SELF IN
FRONT OF TRAIN
p. Hing, EmpIoye of Walsh Con-
structiOn Company, Takes
His Own Life.

Throwing himself beneath the
wheels of a passing west-bOund
freight train, at Thirty-third street,
p. King, an emplOye of the Walsh
Construction company, at o'clock
Saturday night ended his life.
Just before he committed the act
he scrubbed a note on sheet of
paper telling those who found his
lifeless body to give his money to
Bates, a friend of his. He closed
his messa~- with Goodbye,
Amen
The tragedy occurred in the Rock
Island lines yards at the foot of
Thirty-third street, opposite the
Rock Island Brewing company's
offices.
AS far as can be learned, Mrs
Mary Kay, living at 1856 Fifth ave
nue., is the only one to witness the
tragedy She saw the man write
a note, turn and throw himself
beneath the heavy car wheels that
some switchmen employed in the
yard nearby, and the train was
stopped after several of the heavy
cars had passed over the body. The
train was held until Coroner J. G.
Miller had been notified and the
body removed.
Practically nothing is known of
the man. On his person was found
a card showing that he was AM en-
ploye of the Walsh Construction
company. On the card the number
"519S" was inscribed. In his rock-
cts $40 was found, out of $3.50
which he had been paid yesterday
The only clue regarding Kings
identity was the name found on the
pay envelope. The body was re-
moved to the Moeller undertaking
parlOTs. where an inquest was held
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. A
verdict of suicide was returned
King was about 50 years old He
is six feet tall, sandy haired and
partly bald. He was smooth shaven
and was rather thin. He wore no
coat and had on a blue working
shirt, pair Of duck trousers, black
shoe, and wore a gray cap
