ANNOUNCING
The Completion and Opening
Of The New
TEXAS CREEK
HIGHWAY
Built by the U. S. Government at a cost
of nearly a half million dollars, with the
express object of opening this new and
remarkably mineralized portion of the
Hyder, Alaska section of the Portland
Canal Mining District to development
and exploitation.

investment under the economical transportation
conditions provided by the splendid, new 12
mile highway traversing the Texas creek valley
from end to end.
In addition to opening this rich mineral region
to mining endeavor, the Texas Creek Highway
offers a scenic excursion of matchless mountain
scenery, and the most remarkable glacier vistas
:
in the world.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By W. A. S.
(Special Correspondence)
C. E. Harris, of the Interior
Department, is arranging ' a
personally conducted tour to
Glacier National Park and
Alaska. The party will leave
Washington August 2. Stops
will be made at Ketchikan,
Wrangell, Juneau and Cordova
to be followed by the railroad
excursion to the glaciers.
While the Forest Service of
Alaska recognize the desirabil
ity of constructing a trail up
the Unuk River valley, the Re
gional Forester realizes that
the shortage of trail funds will
not permit of this improvement
in the immediate future. The
major part of the trail funds
alloted to Southeastern Alaska
are being expended upon short
and urgent projects, which are
particularly important for min
eral development. Mr. Flory
writes that in the Ketchikan
region these projects provide
a trail from Helm Bay to Union
Bay across the Cleveland Pen
insula, leading through a reg
ion known to be mineralized,
and also a trail across Prince
of Wales Island leading past
the high mountain mass east of
Klawak Lake and Lagoon,
which is also known to be min-,
eralized.
Prospectors-trappers located
on the Yukon about fifty miles
from Eagle, complain of a re
cent questionaire issued by the
Alaska Game Commission,
with the idea of formulating
further regulations and allocat
ing trapping territory to a
favored few. Question 16 in
quhes, “In your opinion, who
should decide how much trap
line any one person should be
entitled to register?” The trap
pers contend that it would be
an utter impossibility to al
locate trapping territory equ
ably. They further contend
that the fur bearers are not
distributed evenly and that
while one man might have a
line ten miles long and get lots
of fur another man might have
a hundred miles and then not
get an even break. These men
on the Yukon wish to bring
some influence to bear that
would tend to curb the alleged
“vicious” activity of the Com
mission. The matter has been
taken up with the Secretary of
Agriculture.
S. Lundblad and Erling And
erson are not easily discourag
ed and while they have not
been so very successful around
Seward they are willing to try
something more difficult in the
desire to remain in Alaska
They would like to lease Shu
yak Island, one of the Afognac
groups northeasterly from Ko
diak Island. They believe they
could live off the natural re
sources of the Island by com
bining various possibilities,
that include a few goats, cat
tle, chickens, an abundance of'
berries they could can, etc. '
They would not interfere with
any of the other small oper
ations on the Island and would
take a chance of an occasional
brown bear swimming across j
from Afognac to visit them.
The Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office gives hope
that these citizens might be
able to lease the unappropri
ated portion of the Island, un
der the act of March 4, 1927. i
