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.
Gold, Silver, Copper and Lead Ores
abound in this wonderful mineral region and
offer excellent oppotunities for profitable mining
investment under the economical transportation
conditions provided by the splendid, new 12
mile highway traversing the Texas creek valley
trom 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.

Hyder District and other data, address the

ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By W. A. S.
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, D, C.
' May 18,1931
In answer to an inquiry the
Department of the Interior
states that 35,000 tourists vis
ited Alaska last year, a large
percentage of them only mak
ing the Southeastern tour. An
effort is being made to induce
more to include Cordova,
Seward, Anchorage, Mt. Mc
Kinley and Anchorage in their
itinerary this year.
The Pacific Frosted Foods,
Inc., with unlimited capital, ex
pects to send two investigators
to Alaska this summer to de
termine just how advanta
geously the Birdseye quick
freezing process can be ap
plied to the prepartion of rein
deer for shipping.
An effort is being made by
Ernest Welker Sawyer to in
terest Eastern capitalists in the
development of antimony in
Alaska. He submits reports to
show that there are large de
posits of high grade antimony
ores in the vicinity of the Alas
ka Railroad and contiguous to
the excellent harbor at Seward.
President Hoover has an
nounced that on the current
public building program the
list of projects covers a total
of 758 buildings, involving a
total expenditures of $453,
000,000. One of the projects
recently completed was at Ju
II
neu, where the expenditure for
the Capitol building was $795,
000. Another project now in
specification stage is at Fair
banks, where the cost is to be
$450,000. Ketchikan is listed
with $10,000 to secure a site.
Ketchikan and Anchorage
will each expect to receive an
appropriation of $400,000
when Congress meets.
Major General Geo. S. Gibbs,
Chief Signal Office of the
Army, has decided that the
petition from residents of Un
alakleet, asking for a radio
station at that location, cannot
be favorably considered at
this time. By reason of finan
cial limitations this new sta
tion could only be established
by curtailment of service else
where, and the Major General
says that such a move would ,
not be in the best interests of j
the Territory.
It has been urged by' the
Trade Commissioner of Van
couver that free air transpor- ‘
tation should be furnished
Canadian prospectors to paitf
of British Columbia, Yukon
Territory and Northwest Ter
ritories. By this means many
weeks time could be saved
during the opening of the min
ing season. In connection with
the building of the new Brit
ish Columbia-Yukon-Alaska
Highway it is urged that air
plane service over the propos
ed route would do much to
help the development of var
ious mining sections. Increased
flying via Hazelton, Dease
Lake, Teslin and Atlin to
Fairbanks, will also help to
popularize the projected High
way.
