Of Fairbanksans are planning to ac-

mana when the team makes the trip
down river to meet the local ag-
gregation in a three-game series.
The only trouble anticipated is a
lack of transportation, the fear be-

secured TO accommodate the crowd.
1t is considered doubtful if the
launches plying regularly between
the two towns can handle the num-
Der who will want to come, and
there is no larger craft available for
the trip.

VACHON REPORTS
LABOR SHORTAGE

There is considerable shortage of
labor on the lower Tanana and
along the Yukon river, according to
A. G. Vachon, one of the leading
merchants of Tanana, who is pass
enger on the steamer Alaska, en-
route to Fairbanks on a business
trip. Mr. Vachon says there are no
idle men at the army town, and re-
ports received by him from other
parts of the Intrior indicate that
the shortage is general.
Mr.. Vachon is advertising in The
News for IS men to cut wood. He
and J. A. Donald have a contract to
supply the government with several
thousand cords of wood, and they
are anxious to get the work started.
1t is impossible to find sufficient
woodchoppers on the lower river to
insure the fulillment of the con-
tract on time.
At the time Mr.. Vachon left Tan
ana no new reports had been re-
ceived from the Koyukuk regarding
the alleged strike on BEETLES river,

tional news until the return of the

WORK AT JUALIN MINE
NOW IN FULL PROGRESS

Active work on the driving OF the
new 5,000-foot tunnel at the Jualin
mine, near Juneau, started several
weeks ago and is now progressing as
rapidly as available forces will per-
init.
Although bids for the tunnel work
to be done by contract were called
for by the Jualin Alaska Mines com
pany, the company later decided to
handle the job with its own forces.
A bonus system has been worked
out, whereby the men working at
the face of the tunnel will be given
an opportunity to make better than
wages.
Considerable development work
will be done at the mine this sea-
son. Pumps are busy pumping out
the water and diamond drilling is in
progress. The work is being di-
rected by Dave Housed.

There were four tables of bridge,

ENGINEER HERE
FROM COAST TO

steamer Alaska, enroute to Fair
banks, is Thomas G. Mcdonald, a
mining engineer in the employ of
the Treadwell company, who has
been detailed to look over the Ne
mana and Fairbanks mining districts
for the purpose of gathering general
information relative to the mineral
resources and conditions generally.
He spent a busy day in Nenana
visiting the various sources of in
formation, and hopes to be able 10
spend a longer time in town before
returning to his headquarters on the
coast.
Questioned regarding the purpose
of his visit to this district, Mr. Nc
Donald informed a representative OF
The News this morning that no par
ticular significance attaches to his
trip. 1t is merely part of a general
plan of the Treadwell people, he
said, to inform themselves regard
! ing conditions and possibilities in
Central Alaska and the Yukon, with
a view to conducting Investigations
later, should such investigations
seem to them to be warranted
/ Mr.. Mcdonald is paying particu-
lar heed to the possibilities of trans
portation. He says that companies
such as the one with which he is
identified look askance at PROPOSE
tons entailing costly hauls, and his
observations have convinced him that
Central Alaska and the Yukon are
much handicapped by lack of ade-
quate transportation facilities. Most
OF the localities visited by him in
the Interior country have not even
wagon roads to facilitate the move
ment Of supplies and ore, but he
had found, at Dawson, that the
policy Of the Dominion government
insures the early construction of
roads wherever the promise of de-
velopment appears sufficiently en-
couraging.
Capital, he said, is not seeking
investment in an inaccessible region,
where large sums must be spent in
road building before actual develop
ment can be started. Propositions
close to the water, or within easy
reach Of a railroad, are much more
attractive.
Mr.. Mcdonald has spent consid-
cradle time in the Yukon country
and, while there, visited the upper
Stewart in company with F. W.
Bradley, head of the Treadwell COM
pany. They investigated some silver
properties in that district.
Mr.. Mcdonald is not a stranger
in Central Alaska. He was in Fair
banks six years ago and was en-
gagged in mining for time in the
Hot Springs district, on Eureka
creek He was also in the Nome
district, having visited that section
in 1904. He has been associated
with the Treadwell interests as en-
gineer during the past several years
! According to his present plans
Mr.. Mcdonald will spend about three
weeks in the Fairbanks district.
