J. P. Williams, forest exam
iner of the U. S. Forest Serv
ice, returned to Juneau recent
ly after completing a survey of
the Unuk river area extending
from the mouth of the river to
a point about 30 miles beyond
the international boundary
line. Williams was accompan
ied on the trip by George King
and Wes. Meyers of Ketchikan.
The survey was made with a
view to future road construct

road built along the lower Un
uk valley in the early days.
The Canadian government is
on record as ready to build a
road in the Canadian section of
the Unuk area whenever they
can find a road outlet on the
American side, thereby open
ing the way for mineral devel
opment in the Canadian area,
which is known to be highly
mineralized.
