Nenana News.
Writing to M. J. Martin, of this city,
under date of •October 13. Joe Warner,
who left Nenana with an outfit on one
of the last boats bound up the Yukon,
tells of activities in t he Chandlar re
gion,
He landed at Bearer, on the Yukon,
tqe latter part of last September and
moved his outfit to the Chandlar eoun
try, which is approximately 140 miles
from Beaver. After establishing camp
and making things snug for the winter
he returned to Beaver on October 13 j
for the rest of his outfit and to mail his!
letter.
O. J. Nicholson and Newt, on Big
creek, and Curley Smith, on Squaw,
are said to be the only miners, as far
as he knows, in the money, and he says
they are taking out a winter dump
which, he predicts, will net ,r£iwmi a
substantial sum.
At the time of writing, wood and
grub were said to be scarce in the
camp, owing to the fact that the lakes,
which are fairly numerous in that re
gion, had not frozen over, making the
hauling of supplies almost impossible.
The old-timer says that? he can get
lays, but cannot get a working interest
on aoy of the creeps in exchange for
sinking a hole, as is customary in most'
camps in the North. He concludes his;
letter with the statement that the
camp is in the making vet and that
there are many creeks still opei£ to
prospectors for staking.
Tacotnans Ask for the
Retention of Dr. Green
as U. S. Commissioner
To give still further pressure to the
necessity for the retention of Hr. VV.
F. Green as commissioner for this pre I
cinct, the following request, signed hv j
twenty-three residents of Tacotna, was
telegraphed to Judge Clegg at Fair
banks on Monday:
Tacotna, Jan. IT, 1922.
lion. Cecil Clegg,
Fairbanks, Alaska:
VV'e, the undersigned, representing
the residents of Tacotna, Alaska, sin
cerely ask that you retain Dr Green as
commissioner for this precinct, as we
see no good cause for any new appoint
ment in his stead. The office combined
with that of doctor and dentist makes
it possible for the people of this section
to hare the necessary services of both,
and without such services we feel that
it is imposing an unnecessary hardship j
u[ion us.
