ALCOA Plan? Huge
Processing Plant
For Southeastern Alaska
Juneau—Establishment of a mul
timillion dollar metallurgical in
dustry in Southeastern Alaska took
a step nearer realization with the
announcement by the Alaska De
velopment Board that an Alumi
num Company of America engin
eering party will arrive in Skagway
soon to conti n u e investigative
work.
Plans of the Aluminum Company
call for development of a large
block of low-cost power by divert
ing headwaters of the Yukon River
to the Skagway area. Water would
be brought through the Coast
Range from Lake Lindeman thru
a two-section tunnel and dropped
hundreds of feet to tidewater. Suf
ficient power would be developed
in the initial stages to produce
400 million pounds of aluminum
per year.
The engineering party will study
geology in the area which would
be traversed by the tunnels. The
party will be headed by Dr. Warren
J. Mead, head of the geology de
partment at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.
The announcement was made
following conferences in Washing
ton, D. C. between I. W. Wilson.

Board.
The total investment in the
Skagway area by the Aluminum
Company would be $300,000,000, all
private capital. Establishment of
allied metallurgical industries
would boost substantially the total
investment. It has been estimated
$130,000,000 would be used to con
struct a town to house upwards of
50,000 persons.
The Alaska Development Board
has worked closely with ALCOA
on the project during the past
several months. Economic surveys
and other studies to attract allied
metallurgical industries to the area
also have been prepared by the
Board.
