EXPRESS ROUTE
OVER TRAIL IS
-- ♦ 1 \ —
The winter express service of
Well* Fargo & Co. between Fair
banks and the Outside, which has
been of material benefit to the
Interior country in years gone by
•ihce the very early days, has been
discontinued, according to informa
tion received at the local office of
the company.
The information is not accompa
nied by an explanation, the message
ILefely staling that the service is
off for the remainder of the winter.
But in view of the fact that the
company has had a great deal of
difieulty handling its business over
the Fairbanks-Chitina trail during
the past couple of winters, the as-j
sumption is that the service has
been abandoned for that reason. And
if that is the case, the service very
likely will not be resumed unless
more satisfactory arrangements can
be made for handling the business
between Fairbanks and Chitina or
until the business can be routed by
way of the Broad Pass route.
The company might have been in
duced to divert its business to the
Broad Pass trail this winter but for
the fact that there was no certainty
that the Government railhoad between
reward and Anchorage could be kept
open. With this uncertainty now re
moved and the assurance that the
ends of steel will be brought much
closer together before the end of
another working season, there is
reason to believe that satisfactory
arrangements can be made for car
rying express across Broad Pass
during the coining winter and there
after until such time as the business
can be taken care of altogether by
the Government railroad. It has been
demonstrated that much more satis
factory results might have been ob
tained this winter by the company
had the Nenana-Broad Pass route
been used instead of the much longer
Richardson trail, with its unreliabie
mail service.
There is a movement already on
foot in Nenana to take the matter
up with the company with a view to
the establishment of an express
route via Broad Pass during the
coming winter, and the matter doubt
less will receive the attention of the
Commercial club at an early date.
Those who have interested them
selves in the matter argue that it is
not a case of trying to get the busi
ness away from Fairbanks, but is
merely to revive the service which
has been discontinued, prpesumably
because of the inability of the Fair
banks-Chitina contractors to make
good. As it stands now, the Interior
country has no express service of
any sort, and probably will not have
until Wells Fargo& Co. can be in
duced to use the Broad Pass tray.—

GREAT NEED
OF ALASKA
PROSPECTORS
“Government aid to bonafide pros
pectors would help a great deal
toward increasing gold production in
Alaska by new discoveries,” says
John E. Barrett, President of the Mc
Carthy Commercial Club, who is a
Cordova visitor. “This aid could be
extended to prospectors as a credit;
the Government to have a lien or
some chance for an action against
every prospector to whom this credit
was extended to, for all time to come,
until such bills should have been
paid. Said bonafide prospector
should be allowed more credit should
he fail to discover anything the first
year, and as long as he is trying to
make good, the longer he stays out
prospecting, the more ambitious he
becomes and his knowledge in
creases.
a Donus snouia De anowea accora
ing to the extent or size of the camp
developed, as the result of the dis
covery made by any one of the pros
pectors said bonus could be paid by
a tax of a small amount levied
against the output of every operatoi
in said camp, allowing a certain ex
emption. Thus making the richei
claims which could stand it pay saic;
bonus., This would be an inducement
to the prospector who might be the
lucky one to discover a great camp
by making the discovery on whal
turned out to be a low grade claim
as did Pedro when he discovered
Fairbanks. Pedro made the discovery
in a low grade section of this great
camp.
“On many creeks in Alaska ,and
the Klondike, the discovery claims
were not the best, but to those pros
pectors belong the credit for the dis
covery of the great camps of the
oast. The opportunities are just as
good today as they ever were for new
discoveries of great camps. Alaska
is hardly scratched yet. Capital has
always followed the prospector. Wit!
plenty of prospectors in the hills ol
Alaska and some Government aid
towards trails and wragon roads w'e
will find the needed capital knock
ing at our door.”
