TENAKEE TOPICS

Tenakee. Alaska, July 12.-The town Of Tenakco, the metropolis of Tenakeo Inlet, is a patriotic Ameri- can city. They are obcying the or- ders in regards to raising war gar dens to the letter; not only is ov- cry available foot Of space on the ground used for the raising Of vege- tables. but those people who are on the waterfront and have no land to make a garden in have picked up all the old boats and filled them with soil and they have some splen- did miniature gardens growing in them.
 There arc a large number of va- cant cabins at this place, as the num- ber of people living here this sum mor is not very great, but business is good owing to the number Of poo- pie visiting here from the canner- les and from fishing boats.
 The Fourth of July was celebrated in true American style with small sports and patriotic exercises.
 A great many Of the familiar faces that are usually seen around here are missing, most everyone who can work being engaged at different places in the fish business.
 Capt. Alex Hart, who until re- cently was in the mercantile busi- ness here, is now power trolling at tho mouth of Tcnakce inlet
 The population was recently aug mented by the arrival Of Mrs. Joo Riedi and two children, Mrs. Jos. Wehren and R. Schmidt, all of Douglas. who will spend a month here.

Government Railroad Construction This Summer Will Be Through
 Rich Section
 V2rTa fWhWnftaIt
Anchorage, July 5.-Through ono

of the treasure vaults of Alaska - the Broad Pass country the route of the government railroad will be located this summer. The surveying worl, will be directed by r. W. se- rest who left here with a party of thirty men. a train of pack animals and food supplies sufficient to last until late in October or early i'm No- vember.
 The surveyors and their outfit went in railway cars to the present end Of steel. which is at Montana Creek, 90 miles north of Anchorage. From Montana Creek. they will tra- vel 100 miles by trail to the scene of their operations.
 The Broad Pass is the divide on the railroad route between seacoast and interior divisions of the trans portation line. It has an elevation of approximately 2,5OO feet, and is about 195 miles in a northerly di- rectlon from Anchorage and about l3O miles i'm a southerly direction from Fairbanks.
 Lack of transportation facilities has delayed not only the development of the Rroad Pass country but any thing more than a cursory investi- gation of its resources As a result of dcsultory prospecting, it is known, however, Co abound in valuable and precious minerals. Copper occurs in profuse quantities, placer gold in many of the creeks promises rich re- turns and assays Of ore from some lode deposits arc quite encouraging in silver content.
 The district. aside from its min erai wealth, is well known for it's game. It has a luxuriant growth Of grass in the summer season, which fact makes possible the existence Of SO much wild life It is the home of moose. caribou, sheep, bear, foxes and wolverines, and of the smaller mr-boaring animals such as mink, marton. muskrats. weasels and "parka" squirrels. Ptarmigan is the chief game bird. but there arc few grouse Trout and grayling run plenufully in the clear water streams and lakes.
