FAST TIME MADE
BY BUTLER TEAM
Seven Dogs Make Run to Fairbanks
With Light Load In Eight
Hours.

In an effort to reduce the time
made by him last winter on the run
between Nenana and Fairbanks,
Billy Butler started for the upper
town yesterday morning with his
team of seven dogs and just enough
load on the sleigh to serve as ballast.
He made the start from Nenana at
9:1O and arrived at Fairbanks at
5:13, consuming just three minutes
more than eight hours.
Last winter Butler made the run
down river to Nenana, with one
passenger, in eight hours flat, but
trail conditions at that time were
better than they are at present, ow-
ing to stretches of siding places
which make fast travelling impossible.
After a short stay in Fairbanks,
Butler will take Cecil H. Clegg to
the Hot Springs district, where the
later is interested in a promising
lease on Woodchopper. The two ex-
pect to spend the greater part of
the season in the lower river camp.
