TOWN OF ANIAK

 OF KUSKOKWIM

This little town of Aniak, neStling on the banks of the Kuskokvim at the mouth of theAniak River, might well be called 'SThe Kuskokwim Gar der of Eden" Through the efforts of au oIdtimer and trader, Aniak stands ont like an oasis on the desert
 Tom L. Johnson has lived thera for many years and has built him self a beautiful home The numer- ous neatly constructed buildings a-e all freshly painted and shaded by well-pruned native trees. MT.

 The Aniak River is navigable, with small boats, for 60 miles back to a country rich in mining and furs. Considerable placer mining is being carried on at Marvel Greek, g trib- utary to the Aniak- A caterpillar operates out of Aniak hauling sup plies to here Marvel Greek is only a summer camp and the people work ing here reside in Aniak during the winter months.

STRESSES NEED
 FOR HIGHWAY TO
 THE NIXON FORKS

A 14-mile road from Tskotna to deep water is one of the greatest needs of the region of Takotna and surrounding district, according to Frank Spieljack. Kuskokwim mining operator. Such a road would open up the country to much cheaper na- vigation costs during the entire season.
 With the present means of bring ing freight from MeGrath to T5kot- na. the expense is exceedingly high and undependable. The Takotna Riy- CT is unnavigable at low water and winter hauling over the trail is slow and unsatisfactory. In fact the bulk of mining machinery cannot be trans ported that way but has to lay in McGrath until such time as the wat CT level is suitable for safe naviga- tion. The Takotna River is unnsvi- gable at low water and winter haul ing over the trail is slow and unsat- isfactory. In fact, the bulk Of min ing machinery cannot be transported that way, but has to lay in McGrath until such time when the water is right to navigate on the Takotna. Sometimes this wait drags into months and by the time the equip ment lands at it's point of destina- ton, the season is nearly gone and another year is lost along with the freight which costs around S75 a ton.
 With the construction of bridge at Takotna, We have a natural road way down the ridge to point within five or six miles of McGrath on the Kuskokwim. Such road could b. built with very little expense, consid- ering the rich area 1t serves, MT. Mr. Spieljack stated.
 The ridge leads within two miles of the Kuskokwim River, making a possible two miles of corduroy on this end and perhaps a mile on the Takotna end from the bridge to the foothills. The cost of construction Of the bridge to teh foothills. The cost of construction of the bridge across the Takotna River would be more than offset by the low cost and easy construction of the roa2 proper.
 Such a road could be built with only the ues of a bulldozer with the exception of a short stretch on each end. The whole distance consists of natural material for road building with a gravel and slide rock forma- tion. on a gradual slope down practically barren ridge.
 For the lack of such road to deep water and navigation, the mining activities in this district are seriously handicapped. Mr. Spieljack is look ing forward to a start toward deep water this summer.
 Until we get such road, mining activities will be held back for years. ?

MINING BOOM
 PREDICTED BY
 MINEOPERATOR

When asked about his visMs on mining in the KUskokwim- area for this coming season. Mir Spieljack of the Canes Greek Dredging Company. became quite optimistic
 ssIt seems as though everyone Out side is crazy to come up and go min fsng.r he said @We are going to see one of the biggest booms in the min ing industry ever experienced. The L5wc- huzkokvim has an especially bright future Just watch it jump ahead. That country has had its strikes and stampedes throughout the past years but for the lack of transportation, the low price of gold and the inaccessibility of the country, the various strikes were only flashes in the pan Now with the rise in the price Of gold and the use Of mining equipment which has been greatly imp owed during the last few years the country has been developed to sEch zn ex1ent and has attracted so much attention, that this yea will see a veritable second gold rush into that area" the mining operator said.
 Mir. Spieliack iS very confden' o% the bright outlook of the entire Kus- kokwir-l eoartry- -fWeu take more out cf here in the next I5 years than the others did in the last 30,' he said. The Kuskokwim district has hardly been scratched In the. previous years, the mining industry laekse money Big concerns, with themoney back of them, have now ta-H ken hold and are able to work ground which small, Independent operators cannot handle Anyone with "a fair. showing can DOW get the barking without any trouble
 Mining is the easiest game III the world Mr. Spieljaek said -AH IL takes is 2 lot of good common horse sense and plenty of hard work
 Mir. Spieljaek informs us thas he Is going to start breaking out a acaI erpiIla- road to fzk0tza immediately in preparation for the moving. two new diesel motors and oahEr machin- cry out to the dredge before the breakup. He expects to have the new diaselsinsEaIled and the dredge in operation by about the first of June. The company will employ about p rner this summer.
