chorage and sl-'pped to Nenana. fro n
where it will start on a 1,000-mile
voyagedown the Tanar.a and Yukon
Rivers and up the K-$"ukuk. says the
Anchorage Times.
The boat was built by Elme? Sim
co. who will accompany Mr. Crocker
and the latter's soi\. -Eag&ie.'on an
expedition up the Koyffknk in kcarch
of valuable placer locations which
Mr. Crocker found more than 30
years ago on a similar river- voyage.
Draws Only Six Inches
About a ton and a'nilf of cargo,
will be aboard the boat when it starts
down the Tanana from Nenana, in
tending 105 feet of hose pipe and two
pumps for sluicing. It is estimated

water with this load. The vessel is
six feet wide.

towed behind the larger vessel. This
will be used for short trips across j
the river and on journeys where the]
men do not wish to use the larger
river boat.
