BROOKER URGES
ALL-YEAR ROAD
FOR KANTISHNA
Recent developments in the Kan
tishna country furnish convincing
proof that tne road-building cam
paign inaugurated by the Nenana
Commercial club was founded on
solid reasoning. Members of the
club were long ago convinced that
the ledges of the Kantishna were
sufficiently promising to warrant the
expenditure of substantial sums for
road work, and results obtained,
since the commencement of the road
campaign, by the men who are de
veloping that district, prove conclu
sively that the club’s estimate of
Kantishna possibilities was under,
j rather than over the mark.
I Lack of co-operation on the part
j of the Alaska Road commission
I places the Kantishna at a decided
j disadvantage. The ore is beginning
j to come out of the ledges now, in
| steadily increasing quantities, but
those who are doing the develop
jment work are being heavily pen
alized because the district is with
out roads, and the opening of new
ledges which have been located re
cently will be held back tremend
ously on that account
Ed Brooker, who is now in Ne
nana getting an outfit together to
ship into the Kantishn, voices the
sentiment of everyone in the district
when he says that the one great
need at present is a road from the
railroad to a central point in the
! Kantishna which can be used sum
!mer and winter; a good road that
II will permit the use of trucks. Un
Ider existing conditions, he says, it
! is necessary to land supplies at
: Roosevelt during the summer
j months, fully 30 miles from the
j nearest operations. The “road” from
| Rooseve’t to the mines will be a
(good whiter trail, but it is of little
jvalue in the summer, being prac
tically impassable at the present
j time, even for pack-horses, owing
j to the swampy character of the
I country traversed. And it is of no
i value to the district as a winter
!
j route of travel between Nenana and
jthe diggings, because of the fact
| that it is only a connecting link be
| tween the river and the mines.
1! What the district really needs,
[and must have, in the opinion of
iMr. Brooker, is a good road run
ning direct from the railroad to the
[diggings. He believes the best
I route is that known as the Taylor
[location, leaving the railroad at
Lignite and following the benches
i across country, a dry route in sum
|rner and as good as any for winter
travel. Such a road not only would
. serve the people of the Kantishna,
but it also would take tourists to
I within a very short distance of Mt.
McKinley, forming the first link in
what eventually will become the
■ McKinley Park highway.
Mr. Brooker says there .will be a
' considerable quantity of galena ore
freighted to Roosevelt from the
Aitken property during the winter,
[for shipment to the States after the
j opening of navigation next spring
>The amount is variously estimated
11 at from 700 to 1.000 tons, and it i:
r | reasonable to suppose that the ton
inage will be much greater a veai
[hence, by which time there prob
iablv will be other properties de
iveloped sufficiently to ship ore. Un
j til such time as a wagon road if
| built to connect with the railroad

• freighted thirty or more miles to
!the river bank at Roosevelt during
j the winter, loaded on to small
barges during the summer, towed to
ithe mouth of the Kantishna for
tranfer to larger barges, and then
towed to St. Michael for final load
' ing on ocean boats. Only the best
I of the ore, Mr. Brooker points out,
will stand handling so many times,
and he does not believe that the
owners of mines are going to work
very fast when they realize that
they must give up most of their
profits to the transportation outfits.
Mr. Brooker’s argument is that
the work of bailding a suitable
wagon road should be taken in
hand at once with redoubled en
ergy, in order to insure its com
pletion by the time the mainline
gap in the railroad has been closed.
If something is not done soon, he
points out, the railroad will lose
heavily in tonnage at a time when
tonnage will be very much needed,
because of inability to connect with
the producing mines.
Mr. Brooker is very enthusiastic
ever the future of the Kantishna.
He has located a promising galena
ledge on Eldorado creek, about two
miles up from the mouth, the ore
body being three feet thick where
it has been tapped. The property
is just across Moose creek from the
Quigley mine, which is now owned
and in process of development by
Tom Aitken. The Quigleys are said
to have received $10,000 cash for
the property, in addition to which
Aitken is to pay them something
over $200,000 as it is taken from
the ledges. Ore valued at $20,000
already has been taken out and is
now on the dump awaiting shipment
to Roosevelt.
The representatives of the Tread
well company, who recently visited
the Kantishna in search of gold
quartz and galena propositions, ap
peared very favorably impressed
with the Aitken property, and la
mented the fact that they had not
arrived in the district before Ait
ken. They looked at the Brooker
location and went away with sam
ples from a number of Kantishna
properties. They went out by way
of Broad Pass, and probably noth
ing will be known of their plans
until after they have returned to
Juneau.
Adjoining the Brooker claim is
one located by Mace Farrar, who
is associated with Joe Burns and
Herman Rosburg. Farrar and Brook
er are working together at present,
with a view to speeding develop
ment.
J. F. Zimmerman, who went ifito
the Kantishna nearly in the sum
mer, was still engaged in a search
for a galena ledge when Mr. Brook
er came out a few days ago. Zim
merman found float on one of the
creeks, and is now trying to trace
it to its source.
, Mr. Brooker expects to return to
the Kantishna for the winter within
the next few days, having engaged
passage for himself and outfit on
the McGonagall launch, which is
scheduled to leave here on Sunday
or Monday.
