ABOUT THE RAILROAD
In the Seattle Spirit, official pub
lication of the Chamber of Com
merce, are the following interesting
facts concerning the Alaskan rail
road.
Completion and driving of golden
spike expected in mid-February.
Built by United States Army en
gineers at a cost of $56,000,000.
Connects Seward, on the coast,
with Fairbanks, interior metropolis,
a distance of 467 1-2 miles. Branch
lines bring the total mileage to
539.93.
Preliminary surveys were made
in 1914 and actual construction
began in 1915. Last unit to be
built, Riley creek bridge.
Trains have been running be
tween Seward and Anchorage, 114
piiles, for 15 months.
The railroad opens up fertile ag
ricultural lands, four wealthy min
ing districts, Mount McKinley nat
ional! park and prospective j oil
fields.
Estimated passenger revenue up
to final completion of road is $1,000,
000.
Rate on hay, grain and potatoes
from Seattle to Fairbanks along the
old route via St. Michael and the
Yukon, $70 a ton: from Seattle via
government railway, $30 a ton.
Branch lines tap Chickaioon coal j
mine, now operated by tiic Nav>
with the eventual idea nf supply
ing steaming coal to the battle
Ret'i
Governor Scott 0. Bone of Alaska;
£ays: “The government railroad!
will pay—not in iin nediate or ear
ly financial returns or even interest1
on the investment, but surely and ,
substantially in the ultimate bene-i
fits which will be derived both by j
ihf territory apd the nation.
Alaska in 1922 will “undergo a
great revival in mining and general
prosperity," said Maj. Johu C. Got
,wals, engineer officer of the Alaska
Road Commission, in Seattle on his
way east to enjoy his first leave of
absence in six years. “In Fair
banks,” he said, “more people are
wintering this year than in four
years, which indicates a most heal
thy sign for mining revival. These
people will take the first opportun
ity of weather to start operations.
Already the upper Kuskokwim dis
trict is very prosperous. One dredge
in the McGrath district this past
season took out $1,000,000 worth of
gold, and three more dredges will
be in operation there this winter.
Another outstanding event during
the past year was a great quartz
strike on Copper mountain, Kan
tishna district.
