Will Clayson Is In receipt of let
ters from Cordova which state that
work on the railroad was shut down
? or was to be shut down ? on the
10th Inst. It is expected there that
the road will be opened over a dis
tance of fifty miles by January or
early in February; that a rotary
plow will be introduced to keep the
road open and that there will be an
effort to divert some of the travel to
the interior that way. It was all con
tingent upon how the Copper river
froze? if it closed up tight at the end
of the line or near there, then the
road would be operated and a trail
opened up from the end of the lino
to Copper Center and travelers In
vited to avoid the mountain pass that
has been their terror. It Is expected
that there will be a period of ex
treme quiet following the shut down
and until the road is thus opened.
Mr. Clayson says there was on the
1st of August one saloon on the new
townsite and that at the date of his
last advice there were 14. This is
given as an indication of the growth
of business and "life" In the town.
