exceeds $500,000, and of this pro
duction more than one half has
been expended in the hauling of
supplies to and from the mines.
$200,000 of this tremendous fre
ight cost has been a loss due to
the fact that there has never been
a road to the Chandalar Districl
More serious is the fact that lack
of transportation facilties makes
impossible the development oJ
of this great gold quartz and plac
er District.
The tremendous mineral resour
ces of the White River District
are still more inaccessible.
Our transportation costs in
these two districts have exceed
ed $125,000, and of this amouut
more thrn $75,000, can be charg
ed to a loss due to lack of roads
In one case we have 5U/£ of our
tDtal ^production as chargable to
adverse freight conditi ons. This
parce ltage of loss is greater
than the average one-third cited
adove, but in this inst&r te some
of the freight charges were on
equipment which charges do not
recur annually, but the example
shows the appalling handicap
mining is laboring under in inter
ior Alaska.
Without freight - conditions be
ing improved by the construction
of roads into the Districts, Alaska
mining is doomed, but with road
construction cutting the operat
ing the operating costs, the min
eral industry can be made to
pay for years without exhaust
ing tiie great bodies of high and
low grade ores.
The construction will go far
to solve Alaska’s ills.
Individualstatesspend millions
on a single road project, yet Alas
ka does not get sufficient help to *
enable her to progress intelligen
tly in road building.
Road matters in Alaska are in
capable hands. Why not give Col - i
Steese in this great work a chare
to accomplish resuits worth while
