CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SHOWS :
NECESSITY OF OPENING OP
BERING 01VEO GOAL FIELDS
Authority Sufficient.
There is no lack of authority for building railroads to the
Bering field. The president was not onK authorized, but di
rected to build not to exceed a thousand miles ot railroad in
Alaska. For this purpose he was authorized to spend (MM),— j
000. Opening the coal fields was one of the main purposes ex
pressed in the law for the building of railroads. Of the thou
sand miles authorized, only about o00 miles have so tar been "
designated for construction. This is the line from Seward to,;
Fairbanks. This is estimated to cost *1:7.000,000. This leaves ♦
$8,(KM),(KM) of the $:’.7),000,000 and nearly a00 miles out of the ;
1,000 authorized. it
Bering Field Closest to Market. 11
There is n<> good reason why a line should not he built toll
the Bering field. The coal is the best, and there is the greatest
demand for it. It will be of the greatest use in developing the $
other resources of the territory. it
There are three available coal fields in Alaska, namely, the «
Bering river, the Matanuska and the Xenana. The distance ^
from the various field's to market is as follows: ♦
Miles X
Bering River to Cordova . . 1
Matanuska to Seward ...1K,) $
Xenana to Fairbanks .♦
The Copper River & Xorthwestern railway reaches 3S fc
miles of the distance from Cordova to the Bering field, so that t
,mlv 30 miles of new track is necessary to bring this coal to ♦
market. These 30 miles are of easy construction. Twenty X
miles further would tap the Katalla oil fields. Thus, with ->o X
miles of new track, the coal, oil and copper would all be as- *
sembled at Cordova on easy grades and at the lowest cost. It _
is estimated the first 30 miles to the nearest coal could be built ,
I in 00 days, or at most in six months. g
The estimated cost, in round figures, and time for ..pie- |
lion of railroad facilities to the different fields is as follows: |
Distance, Estimated Cost and Time of Completion.
Bering river to Cordova, 30 miles; $1,000,000; six months. |
Matanuska to Seward, 1H4 miles; $7,000,000; three years. s
Xenana to Fairbanks, 104 miles; $3,000,000; three years. |
