FUNDS RAISED TO BUILD TRAIL
The contract lias been let for the building of a trail from
McCarthy, over the Kolin glacier, into the Kuhanna, through
efforts of William James, the orginal discoverer of pay in the
latter camp, who is now in Cordova.
In a letter, written to Major W. P. Richardson, of the
Alaska Road Commission, Mr. James outlines the arrangements
made for the construction of this trail, as follows:
‘“I have made a contract with Sid Johnson of McCarthy to
build the trail on the following basis: I figured it would take
about $2000 to build the trail, and my company has agreed’ to
furnish $500 in cash and one man, whose wages will be $200
making $800 in Ml; the merchants of McCarthy have raised
I$250 and the $500 to be given bv the Road Commission will
make $1550. Johnson has agreed to compelete trail, and we ex
pect that the cost over the amount so far raised will fie paid by
the people in the Kuslianna. Johnson has agreedto build the
|trail on these conditions, and take his chances on getting the
excess cost out of the Sushanna miners and merchants. John
son is to my personal knowledge, a reliable and responsible
party, and the men he will have helping him are equally so, so
that you may feel assured that the trail will be built in a work
like manner.
‘‘I have made arrangements with Mr. A. E. Todd, of Mc
inay know that the $.>00 donated by you has been earned. I
think it best for you to write to Todd instructing him whtt will
be necessary for him to do in order that Johnson unde's men
may secure the Road Commission money as soon as the work is
completed.
‘‘I am leaving Cordova on the Northwestern for the outside
and will return before the flrst of the year to freight in my sup
plies. If there are any matters to be cleared up in your mind
about the matter, I wish you would write to Mr. E. F. Medley
at Cordova, as I have explained the situation fully to him, and
he understands what I have done and what is wanted.”
