There are virtually no passenger ac- commodations and the freight ser vice is inadequate.
 Unless the Alaska Railroad and the White Pass agree on some meth cd of maintaining a regular and adequate service on these rivers for next season it is generally under stood in the Interior, he said that the government will operate steam CTS from Nenana in connection with the railroad. In fact, it was reported that the railroad would obtain pos session of the two army river trans ports, Davis and Jacobs, this fall and put them on ways at Nenana ready for operation when the river opens next spring.
 GAME IS ABUNDANT
 Game is abundant everywhere in the Interior, he said. There was a small caribou run near Fairbanks during his stay there. Ptarmigan and grouse were most plentiful. On one trip of the motor car from Ne mana to Fairbanks, the car was stopped and the crew drove big flock of grouse off the track to keep from running over them. All along the railroad these birds could be seen from car windows. On the trip up the Yukon a herd of 24 carl bou swan the river, crossing just . ahead of the boat.
 CIRCLE STILL PRODUCING
 At Circle it was estimated that the gold production this season would amount to about $100,000. The Berry Dredging Company is having a suc- cessful season. c. J. Berry is oper- ating battery of hydraulic plants aid smaller operators are making good cleanups. The output of the Chandelar district had not been esti- mated but the production will be materially larger than last year. No | figures were obtainable on the out put from the Eagle-Forty Mile dis tricts. A dredge now at Forty Mile, Y. T., will be hauled in to ground on the American side of the line this winter and operated next season. At Jack Wade operations have been curtailed owing to failure to re- ceive Bagley scraper machinery or dered last spring. Mir. Whittier visit ed J. Hillard at Eagle and the lat | ter will leave there for Juneau on the last upriver boat.
 QUARTZ DEVELOPMENT 1 Mr Whittier visited the dredge op- erations near Dawson. Cold weather there, he said, has shortened the working season and may affect ma terially the years output. In fact, the freeze killed all wheat, oats, cabbage and other crops at Dawson On August 30, at orty Mile Y. T.. the thermometer stood g degrees above xero and the cold record for IS years at Dawson was smashed.
 Dawson people are watching quartz developments on Twelve Mile with considerable interest. An ore body it was said, has been uncovered there almost exactly similar to the Keno ore and is being developed. Thirty five hundred tons of ore were ship. ped from Mayo this year and it is planned to ship 10000 tons next sea- son. The White Pass plans to put or an extra steamer next year to handle the ore
 FUTURE IS PROMISING | "The future of those portions o1 the Territory visited looks to be promising" said Mr Whittier. "The people are in better spirits than 1T the recent past. The coming of the railroad to certain sections has made living cheaper, has made i possible to open up mining ground hitherto idle, and has put prospector: : back into the hills. I believe all o that section of Alaska is goinI ahead substantially and steadily
