HIGGINS DREDGE, YANKEE
CREEK, NOW DIGGING
The Higgins creek, Yankee creek,
newly completed, commenced to turn
over on Monday, worked fine, and on
Tuesday was digging out the real
stuff.
Any man can huild a dredge pro
vided he has the ability, the men, the
material and the supplies necessary
for its construction. It is easy sail
ing then. But when any one of the
above are lacking, it becomes another
story—a matter of hard figuring. In
this case most of the timbers, lum
ber and a large amount of supplies
were aboard the barge Young when
it sank at Bethel. Though some of
the above was later recovered, deliv
ery here was in piecemeal lots, while
many things necessary were missing
and were not }K stock in lo? s.
It was the locating, the gathering of
much of the above, tq carry on con
struction, that has. requited some
hustling. One dqy it. wpuld, be bolts,
another day nqts,. and another day
spikes, or some .like affairs—they all
had to. be hustled from some source.
Considering all the handicaps en
countered, Manager Higgins and his
crew are’ to be congratulated on the
work of completing the new dredge
and haying the same in operation at
this date—an achievement of no
small proportions.

He was in a nasty mood, drunk, and
was in the act ox raising one of his
weapons. With all suddenness Chris
jlBolgen, with a leap, was on Berg
strom, held him back, and was scuf
fing hard when the pistol disrharged.
Mr: Thompson* free to act with his
now lowered arms, grabbed a bottle, j
'hit Bergstrom several times, then got;
$hold of a blunt wooden instrument
;and applied it vigorously. Berfstrom
;went down and out. He had met his
ffate. He remained unconscious till
about 4 a. m., when life became ex
tinct.
Bergstrom was about 24 years of

with having been a very agreeable
person. Prior to coming to Ophir
about a year ago, he was a soldier in

as hard as a rock and turned black i
while they were over th emountain,;
and he feared that it had been frozen,
but it is in gppd working order today,
apparently none the worse for its ex
posure.
The altitude of th etop of the
mountain, as nearly as could be
judged at a distance from the peak,
is more than 20,300 feet, the belief of.
■Pilot Nieminen being that the figure
is nearer 20,500 feet. The plane’s in-,
strument showed that altitude that
altitude when the fliers were about
opposite the highest portion of the
mountain, but it is possible that the
instrument is not exact.
The plane used for the 'flight is a
7-place Fairchild monoplane, Model •
71, powered with Pratt & Whitney ■
425 horsepower Wasp motor. It is a I
regular service type, with noi altitude
equipment. Similar type planes have
climbed 26,000 fget in the States.
Some ice formed on the propeller
yesterday after the;pjane had left the
mountain and. encountered .some-rain
on the flight back to. Anchorage. The
ice was thrown off, however, without
damage to the propeller.
