An effort is being made to reach the
most promising bridge crossing on the
Nizina river so that with the consid
erable expenditure of funds neces
sary, at a future date, the difficult
and treacherous Nizina river can be
bridged. Earnest study is being made
of this matter of the Nizina river
crossing and it appears that the only
feasible bridge will be of considerable
cost, making it necessary to make
special effort to secure the funds re
quired. However, the great improve
ment to the entire Chitina valley
makes it worth while to look into
ever\ possible source of funds to
build this crossing.
STRELNA SECTION
“The further improvement of the
Strelna roads has been investigated
and it is hoped to do a small amount
of work in relieving the district.
SLATE CREEK
“A very thorough investigation of
Slate creek mining district has been
made. It was found to be a nrom
ising one and one calling for especial
ly thorough work. The best route
into this district proved to be the
old Eagle trail to Chistochena and
thence up the valley of the Chisto
chena to the mining district. The
work has been planned in yearly
stages, so that the maximum relief
will be given at the earliest possible
time. With this in view $4,000 is be
■ing spent in improving the difficult
places and bad grades between Gul
kana and Chistochena this fall. For
next year funds have been requested
and it is planned to build the impor
tant bridge across the Kakona and
improve ten miles of the Eagle trail
to wagon road standard. Thereafter
the entire stretch to Chistochena will
be improved to wagon road standard
and the road extended first as a win
ter sled road and as development war
rants as a summer road up the valley
to Chistochena to the Chisana. The
portion of this road from Gulkana to
Chistochena has another important
aspect in that at a later time in
Alaska’s development it will serve as
the main road through the Mantasta
Pass to the upper Tanana valley.'’
