MEARS TALKS RAILROAD
WITH CITIZENS OF NENAN/
Plans of the Alaskan Engineerin'
commission for the completion of th<
Government railroad were outlined
! by Col. F. Mears, at an informa
meeting held in the lobby -of the
Cooney hotel this afternoon. In ad
dition to Col. Mears, there were
! present. Col. H. P. Warren, chief
1 of the division of supplies and En
| gineer in Charge Fed’k D. Browne
i and about twenty citizens of the
town. The meeting was arranged b.v
Dr. J. R. Bow’en.
Mr. Browne introduced Col.
j Mears and explained that he was
| there for the purpose of discussing
j matters of interest to the town.
I Col. Mears then gave a brief out
j line of the work accomplished by
| the commission and said, with good
luck, he hoped to have the coast and
| Interior connected within twelve
j months. In order to do so, however,
j weather and labor conditions must
; be favorable.
; The whole energy of the organ
ization, he said, is now centered on
i building railroad and there is ample
money now available to close the
gap of 83 miles. A large part of
this distance is already covered by
contracts and, as soon as the Hur
ricane bridge is completed, the rails
will move rapidly toward the north.
Steel is to be laid toward the
south from Healy to Riley creek
and the balance of the steel neces
sary to close the gap will come from
the coast. The end of steel on the
Southern division is at present at
Mile 275, from which point supplies
are being rushed to the camps by
three Holt tractors and a number of
teams. The tractors haul from eight
to ten tons to a load, and ' have
moved between 7,000 and 8,000
tons thus far this winter, with
4,000 or 5,000 more tons to haul
before the trails break.
The progress of the track toward
the north from present end of steel
will be goverened largely by weath
er conditions, but it is hoped to
reach Hurricane gulch by the end
of May, which will be two months
earlier than was originally planned.
Then will commence the erection of
the big steel bridge which is to
span the gorge, which is 300 feet
deep and 400 feet wide. This will
take about ten weeks and will be
done by the American Bridge Co.
The structure will cost about $600,
000.
The chairman explained that the
appropriation of $4,000,000 con
tained in the sundry civil bill, and
which was allowed by Congress
without opposition, is the last of
the $17,000,000 authorized, :• 1 1 wii!
not included the construction of
bridges OVer the Xenana and Tanana
rivers. Col. Mears believes, how
ever, that once the rails ate con
nected and trains are moving from
the coast to Nenana, it will not be
a difficult matter to persuade Con
gress to apprpriate funds for the
additional works required.
Col. Mears told of the purchase
recently of a modern coal washing
plant for use in the Matanuska
field, fhe plant will be set up close
to the railroad at a point about
midway between Eska, where the
:ommission is operating a coal mine,
tnd Chickaloon, where coal is being
mined by the Navy Alaska Coal
lommission. The money for the
purchase of the plant was provided
>y the navy commission, from the
special funds appropriated for coal
levelopment.
Col. Mears said that a very good
trade of coal had been uncovered
'ecently by the navy commission on
roal creek, where there is said to
>e about 20,000.000 tons in sight.
The colonel said that a ton of
oal has been produced thus far by
he commission for every six or
even dollars expended.
Questioned regarding the devel-,
ipment of tonnage for the railroad, )
'ol‘ Mears said he believed that |
rould take care of itself when
he railroad would be in a position
o handle it. He spoke of recent
evelopments in the Willow creek
istrict and, said private e:. ital j
ad created tonnage there as soon I
. as the road was able to handle it.
| He also said he thought Congress
would grant funds for the building
' of branch lines when the time' for
them arrived, and he pointed out
that the Alaslw Road commission
is already paving the way for new
work through their wagon road in
vestigations. The matter of branch
lines, however, he said, is for the
secretary of the interior to decide,
| but he anticipated no difficulties,
i The colonel refused to entertain
j the suggestion that the N’enana and
| Tanana river bridge work be un
I dertaken in advance of the comple
tion of tracklaying. He said there
was no use talking about it for the :
i reason that funds are not now avail-I
able for the work.
Col. Mears explained that the
residents of Anchorage had recent- j
lv assumed the responsibility of
managing their town affairs by in- i
corporating, anti suggested that the
people of Nenana begin to prepare j
for similar action. He said, however,
that the matter would not be press- !
ed at this time.
Regarding other changes that ar"
contemplated by the commission in
this division, the coloned stated that .
he would be a frequent visitor on
the northern end of the line during 1
the remaining period of construe- i
tion and will be available for con-1
sultation as occasion may require, i
He will make another trip to the j
Interior next month, and frequently
thereafter.
Immediately after the meeting.
Col. Mears and the members of his'
party left by special train for the
end of steel.
