ROAD ASSURED
‘ TO OPEN NEW
* HYDER CAMP
The new railroad opening up the
mines in the Portland canal district
and transporting the ore down to
Hyder, where it will he loaded on
boats at the new government dock,
was absolutely assured when C. F.
Caldwell, president of the Portland
Canal Railroad & Terminal Com
pany, returned from Hyder and left
for Juneau to complete the legal re
quirements prior to construction. Mr.
Caldwell recently returned from
Washington, D. C., where he obtained
permission from the forestry depart
ment to build the railroad, says the
Ketchikan Chronicle.
Build to Border
“We will build the road to the
Canadian border, which is approxi
mately eleven miles from Hyder, and
then obtain permission from the Ca
nadian government to extend it into
Canada,” said Mr. Caldwell.
Dr. M. Bruner, well-known Alaska
railroad man, and formerly connected
with the Copper River railroad, is
one of the directors of the new con
cern, which is a Spokane company,
and he recently returned there from
Ketchikan and Hyder, where he was
making preliminary arrangements for
the line.
“Lack of transportation is one of
the big things that is holding back
the development of the mines in the
Salmon River district,” said Mr. Cald
well, “although they are going ahead
rapidly with the meager facilities
they now have. There are but 150
pack horses in the district, and where
1,000 pounds are ordered, 100 pounds
arrive.
Transportation Needed
“The small amount of ore being
taken out at present demonstrates the
great need of a railroad," he con
tinued. “and its early construction is
certain.”
Mr. Caldwell commented on the
great energy and enterprise which is
now being exhibited in the district.
Growth Phenomenal
“The last three months has wit
nessed a new camp suddenly assume
evidence of permanence that is phe
nomenal,” he said. “With the Big
Missouri, the Little Joker, the New
Alaska, the Premier, the Unicorn and
the Anaconda and many other com
panies in operation, things are mov
ing fast.”
He said that these mining com
panies are now working on small
camps to accommodate ten to twenty
men each for the winter, which is all
that can be done this season.
E. C. Howard, manager of the Sted
man hotel, and a man who has been
-all over the Portland canal district,
will act as Ketchikan agent for the
railroad.

DETAILS ARE LACKING
ON M’CARTHY SHOOTING
According to reports received by
United States Marshal Erwin at Fair
banks, Dan McCarthy, the well-known
Brooks mining operator, was shot and
killed by his wife at their home on
Lillian creek September 13. Mr. Me-,
Carthy, shot Sunday morning, lin
gered making a hard fight for his life
until early yesterday morning.
The first information was received
in the following telegram:
“Dan McCarthy shot in intestines
with 30 U. S. rifle by his wife to
day. Have her in charge. Chances
are slim for McCarthy’s recovery.”
A short time after the message
was received Marshal Erwin received
another telegram stating that Mc
Carthy died at 6:33 a. m. Monday.
No report of an inquest has been
received at the marshal’s office.
No details of the shooting have
been received at Fairbanks. Dan Mc
Carthy is well known throughout the
district, having been in the mining
game for many years and being one
of the first to go into the Brooks
camp, where he made considerable
money. His claim on Lillian gulch
is reported to be one of the richest
on the creek.
