OLDTIMER SAYS BIG NEED
OF INTERIOR IS MORE ROADS
J. W. Murphy, who arrived in
Nenana this week from the Broad
Pass district, where _ he has been
engaged in prospecting for some
time past, believes there should be
greater activity along the Alaska
Railroad in the way of wagon road
building. He believes a very large
volume of tonnage for the railroad
could be created and the whole
country revived rapidly by the ex
penditure of a part of the road
building funds in building wagon
roads from the railroad to some of
the more promising districts tribu
tary to the railroad.
There is a large country over
toward Valdez creek, the oldtimer
points out, w-hich is deserving of
immediate attention. A road to Val
dez creek, if started from the Alas
ka railroad at about Mile 265. would
tap a legion of tremendous area
and of sufficient promise to warrant
the belief that development and
tonnage would follow quickly in the
wake of w-agon road construction.
The Totatlanika district. Mr.
Murphy declares, which is deserving
of consideration. And he wonders
that work has not already started
on a road into the Kantis'nna, where
great mountains of ore await the
coming of improved transportation
facilities.
Mr. Murphy believes the railroad
wasf built to speed the development
of the Interior country, but he is
at a loss to understand how there
can be much development until
wagon road feeders are built, to
tap those regions which are now
inaccessible.
With the coming of wagon road
feeders. Mr. Murphy believes there
should be erected at Nenana a gov
ernment owned and operated smelt
er to treat the ores which will flow
in from all directions as soon as
development is made possible and
there is the assurance that ores will
be treated in such manner as to
leave a little of the values for the
prospector and miner.
There are many oldtimers in the
hills prospecting this summer, Mr.
Murphy says, but there are many
more who are holding back, waiting
for signs of encouragement. Most
of them realize that it is useless to
venture far from the ’cilroad for
the reason that wagon road building
lags too far behind.
Miss Brownie Mae Bohannon ar
rived in Nenana from Fairbanks
yesterday and has assumed duties
as stenographer in the office of
1 Agent Gus Buhmann, in the local
depot. Miss Bohannon, who is a re
i cent arrival in Alaska from Spokane
has had considerable experience in
offices of the big railroads in the
States. She had been spending a
brief holiday in Fairbanks before
coming to Nenana to accept the
. position she now fills.
