To make the Bering coal field de
,. | velopment successful as a commercial
,1 neterprise. SJ.Ofid.ond must be spent to
| connect the coal mines by rp.Croad
i with Cordova, by building an evtm
| sion of the present Copper River Rail
road now running from Cordova to the
. Copper River co i trv. The C.uggen
I helms are using the railroad for ship
ments from their extensive and vai- :
| liable copper mines in the interior.
| If a railroad connection could be made
I with the Bering coal field. Cordova.
*! Seward. Juneau. Valdez and all the
coast cities and interior places within
j reach of the Copper River railroad,
or accessible by water route from Cor
dova, would have a new lease of pros
perity. The United States Govern
ment too would have an invaluable
coaling station for its fleet at the deep
’ harbor of Cordova. The Federal Gov
| ernment is providing for a coaling
station at Seward, which lias a superb
harbor, by building the great railroad f
now constructing to the Matanuska ^
coal fields, which will be completed
within a year or two.
A Mysterious Purchase.
P) The question is often asked. “Why
j did the U. S. Government buy the
“ | Alaska Central Railroad running into
J the interior from Seward Instead of
the Copper River & Northwestern run
ning from Cordova northwest." Out
side of Washington, the answer seems
to be a mystery. It is said that the
government asked the Morgan Inter
ests. in control of the Copper River
Railroad, to name the terms upon \
which the former could secure posses-!
sion. I am told that the government ;j
was offered a choice of three proposi
tions: one, that it could purchase the j :j:
railroad at a valuation to be fixed by :j:
the Interstate Commerce Commission:
two, that it could lease the road "on
satisfactory terms; three, that It could
utilize the road and build such Conner-, j;:
tions to the coal fields as it might de- £
sire. The story is that this proposi- :j:
tion was so fair that the government
was too glad to consider it favorably. ;
But without discussion or explanation j:j
it suddenly took up tne offer or the
Alaska Central and accepted it. The
Cordova people feel offened at the1::;
outcome, but there is room in Alaska j
for both railroads to grow and pros- :j:
per. : g
Nobody knows how fast an Ameri-j:-:
! can city, state or town may grow. I J
recall some 25 years age meeting a; '
j friend in Denver. He was an investor s
from the East. 1 think Denver had
about 30,000 people then. He had | "J
come to buy real estate. He said to i
j me. "This place is overgrown. Real |
estate is too high. None for me!” j:
1 And he went away. Had he invested g
| wisely at that time, he could have mul- g
j tiplied his money ten to twenty fold. £
! I was in Los Angeles about the same g
time. It had had a serious reaction i g
after a sudden boom. It was a little j g
place, not one-tenth its present size. | g
It seemed like a doomed city. An in- ijj
vestment of $500 then in outlying
j acreage property. I am told, would be g
j worth $600,000 today. So nobody can g
J tell what may be the future of Sew- g
. ard. Cordova, Anchorage, or in fact :g
jj ^
J any of the new, wide-awake cities of :g
I Alaska. All of them are nearly new g:
and all, from Ketchikan to Nome, have g
hopes.—Leslie’s Weekly.
