A LETTER FROM SULZER
C. (). !\'i trvvood, Es<p,
Editor McCarthy Weekly News,
McCarthy, Alaska.
J':s> h.u;if from Washington
where 1 have done some effect

The tiling that will interest

rou I »ie. Lat*»r on we will have a

Nehozna Countries.
Under no circumstances
would the Alaska Roads Comm
ission build a road into the Neb
! ezua and Chisana Country from
i Gulaami. The route must be by
wa.\ of McCarthy, around Scolai
l ass, and the people of Me,Car
thy must insist on this.
I notice that you use the
word “Sushanna”. This is an err
or. The Government books give
the name as “Chisatfa”, and the
Government officials want every
one to use “Chisana”, and not
“Sushanna”, Chisana is the name
of the Post Office in the White
River Mining District, and all
the Government reports and
maps now use the word “Chis
