Kuskoquim District Promises
 Big Output For 1923 Season

enroute to the Kuskokwim country via the Kobe McGrath trail and ar rived at McGrath April 18th. Trail conditions were ideal and the per nancy of this route is an establish ed fact. New roadhouses will be built this summer at Roosevelt at a point twenty five miles west of Lake Minchumina, at Tulida and at Slow Forks, thus giving a complete road house service at distances of a days travel It will be also possible to shorten this trail at least twenty five miles by cutting the trail thru the timber which was not pos sible last year and, as consequence khe trail west of Tulida will follow . more direct course instead of winding in and around the many lakes.
 McGrath, the distributing point for the Kuskokwim country, was anxiously waiting for the spring breakup. This breakup has come to be looked somewhat in the light of a nightmare by the good people of McGrath, as each succeeding spring sees the town flooded to a depth of several feet and this last spring was no exception. The town was in- undated for several days during the crest of the flood. However, the people still have faith and continue living and doing business there an other example of the undaunted spiE- it of the true Alaskan.
 An evidence of prosperity of the Kuskokwim country is reflected in the constantly increasing tonnage which is brought up the Kuskokwim river during the summer season and, with the steamers Tanna and Quick step operating on the river from Bethel to McGrath, fears are expres- sed that all tonnage will not be moved before the freezeup. Captain George Green and Captain Wallace Langley are operating these boats and recently purchased the Santa Anna, thounsand ton carrier op- erating between Seattle and Bethel. It was with view to insuring the delivery of supplies to this remote section that they decided to operate an ocean-going carrier in eonjunc- tion with their river steamers.
 Mining activities are apparent in this section. The Treadwells are continuing to operate successfully at Nixon Fork. Whalen and Griffin have recently struck a big body of rich, free milling ore which is be- lieved to be continuation of their Nixon Fork properties. The Aitken dredge is digging away on Candle Creek and promises to make larger cleanup this year than at any time since operation commenced on this creek.
 A wonderful mining activity is displayed in the Innoko district, just across the divide from McGrath, and Takotna, the distributing point for this distrct, is developing into live town, geographically situated on the
 akotna River, it has become the { enter of wonderfully rich proven
 ming region which embraces Yan- ee Greek, Canes Creek and Lirle ;reek. The Plume Dredge O., is now operating on Yankee creek, Little Creek and the Innoko Dredg- ing Co. is operating on Canes creek having commenced dredging opera tions June 7th. The last named company controls all the ground on Canes Creek from No. ? below dis covery to No. 10 above discovery and has sufficient dredging ground to last

 under the very able direction of C.
 W. Moore, formerly of the Yukon
 Gold Co.,, this dredge was completed
 in construction in forty-two days,
 which, l believe, is a record for con-
 struction and, at the same time,
 demonstrates that we have the kind
 of folks in Alaska who can accom-
 plish things, as <he laborers and me
 chanics required in this construction were recruited entirely from the seurdoughs of the country. To Mir.
 Geo. F. Kilroy manager of the Inno- ko Dredging Co.,, credit is due for the delivery of this dredge on Canes Creek and those familiar with the difficulties of transportation in this country will readily appreciate the big job on hand which he has ac- complished so well. The future of this section is assured and more dredges will be intalled in she near future.
 The Alaska Road Commission, un- der the direction of Supt. Walter W. Lukens, have constructed a road from Takotna across the divide for a distance of ten miles toward Ophir This road is an example of road building and reflects much credit on Superintendent Luken's ability. An automobile travels over this road daily to and from Yankee creek travelling over the government road and the Plume Dredge CO.,, road and covers the distance of fifteen miles in forty minutes.
 On leaving the Innoko district the writer mushed to Ophir, formerly the center of activity for the 0phir district, and in company with John Cameron, former collector of Inter nal revenue in the days of long ago when it was possible to take some lining internally other than coffee and tea and 4. McDonald, an old time prospector, embarked in pol ing boat for the long journey of seven hundred miles down the In- noko river to Holy Cross. The up- PSI t6dCHSS o1 SIl4S IINcI~ TUT b"O hundred miles are replete with bad rifles but from the Forks of the river to the mouth no current is per ceptible. From Ophir to the mouth of the Innoko the river is practically deserted and in a distance of seven hundred miles but three settlements remain, these being Cripple, Fair view and Holy Kachuck, the latter two being native villages. The old town of Dishakaket has disappeared from the map.
 Arriving at Holy Cross we were gladdened by the sight of clean linen and excellent meals provided on the old steamer, Oil City, Maintained as a hotel by the U. s. Railroad for the accommodations of lower river Connections without de lay with the Steamer Davis and transfer to the Steamer Jacobs, a. bove Ruby, ended our travel difficult ties.

COMING NORTH SHORTLY
 ID CONF FE:REVCE

Col. James c. Steese has cancelled the conference of Alaska Road Com mission officials scheduled to be held in Seattle, October 29, and will return to the Territory for the conference, according to advices received today at local commission headquarters. He has been visiting Yellowstone Park, and left Seattle on the Northwestern, stopping off at Juneau, until the arrival of Col. Landis. new manager of the Alaska railroad.
 It is thought probable that Colonel Steese will proceed to Anchorage with Lieut.. Col. Lee H. Landis, and turn the reins of management over to him. Col. Landis sails from Seattle tomor. row.
 As soon as the transfer has been completed Col Steese will return to Washington to appear before the Congressional committees in support of the annual Alaska Road Commis. sion estimates for road appropria- tlons next year. While in Juneau a short time ago, he said that sentiment for larger road appropriations was growing among members of congress and that it was probable that the 1924 appropriation would be the largest ever made for that purpose in the Territory.
