f Application has been granted by the
I forest service to the Clark Pavla
! Company at Controller bay for all of
' the timber necessary for construction
e
work of the proposed railroad from
P
.(loose City to coal claims held by the
! company near Carbon mountain, in
the Bering fields.
'' i Recent developments indicate that
there will be considerable activity in
3, the Controller bay section this season.
The Clark Davis people have pur
1 chased the equipment of the old Car-j
" bon mountain railroad, w hich was j
• started from (loose City about the;
time the Guggenheims started to build j
a road from Katalla.
Goose City Is located on the Con
troller bay elimination near the mouth
of Edwards river, fifteen miles to the
southeast of Katalla, and the line will
* extend about twenty miles north along
the east bank of Bering river. The
elimination includes 15,000 acres, and
beyond this the line runs through the
| Chugach forest reserve, but all the
necessary rights of way have already
r been granted.
The original plan called for the
construction of a jetty or trestle over
the mud flats of Controller bay to the
■ south end of Kaniak island, from
which it was proposed that a wharf
lie built into navigable water. How
much of the old plan will be carried
out under the present project is not
known. Prospector.
