A JAPANESE SPY CAllfatll
RED HANDED
Plans of American Fortifications Found in
His Possession? G-reat Excitement Pre
vails?Attempt to Hush Matters
C. K. WroQ-Johnsoa, who has but re
cently returned from an extended trip
to Neiv York and Washington In ihs
interests of a projecting company, with
which he Is connected, has secured a
franchise through Alaskan territory
from the federal government and a char
ter from the Canadian government, for
the building of a railroad from Haines
through the Alsek and 'he heal waters
of the White river country to Fairbanks
an'! then to Nome. The junction of the
two companies, necessary to form the
internationa' system, will be about the
hra 1 of White river and will tap that
cnicer.il belt at a milage of less than
323 miles from Haines or 100 miles ies
from the seaboard, than any other road
that has so far beeu projected. While
a careful recogniz .nee of the proposed
route has been made in the interest of
? the company, a regular survey will be
, Initiated this season. The road will tap
the Porcupine placer and the Rata;
Hollow copper districts ut a distance of
a mJe and a half, and run through tbe
richest placer and copper Gelds of the
Alsek and White river districts. Much
development work is already in progress
all along tbe proposed route and it is
expected that the road will be a payer
from the start.
Mr. Johnson says that eastern rail
road securities are treated with great
caution and that money is easier to be
had for Alaskan enterprises than for
other stocks. There is a present strin
gency in the eastern money market and
Mr. Johnson believes that much opiial
will by that reason seek investment in
Alaska. There is now a greater inter-'
est manifested in Alaskan enterpiisesj
than ever before.
