MADE FAST TIME
The work of laying track south
from Talkeetna is progressing steadi
ly, the end of steel having reached
jDeadhorse within the past few days,
!according to R. W. Calderhead, pres
ident of the Broad Pass Coal & De
velopment company, who returned
to Nenana yesterday afternoon from
a hurried trip to Anchorage', by way
■ of Broad Pass. Mr. Calderhead
i
1 made the trip from the coast to
; Nenana in just five days, which in
| eluded a hike of approximately 130
i miles between end-, of stceL
The track gang had not reached
jDeadhorse (Mile 248) when Mr.
Calderhead passed the outfit out
ward bound, but on the return trip
the train took him all the way to
Deadhorse station and the tracklay
ers were moving onward toward
Gold creek, where the big Pusitna
river bridge is to be erected. There
is considerable completed grade
north of Deadhorse, and it is be
lieved that the tracklaying opera
tions will proceed rapidly from now
on. Between eight and eleven miles
of steel has been laid thus far this
season north of Talkeetna.
Most of the steel for the -Susitna
bridge has arrived at Anchorage and
is scattered about the yards there
in great heaps, waiting for the track
to be completed to Gold creek. The
work of excavating for the piers is
now in progress, one of the excava
tions being almost ready for filling.
A temporary bridge now spans the
river and will be used until the per
menent structure is in place.
It is the hope of the commission,
Mr. Calderhead says, to lay steel to
Hurricane gulch before work stops
jfor the winter, but to do it will
require a concentration of forces
and favorable weather conditions. It
seems to be regarded as certain,
however, that the rails will reach
Mile 275 before the work stops.
The bridging of Hurricane gulch,
|Mr. Calderhead says, is a big en
gineering job. The structure will
be about 500 feet in length and
nearly that distance above the
| ground in the center of the gulch.
I He was impressed by the magnitude
| of the undertaking while trying to
j get out of the gulch after having
[gone down into the great g< rge. It
took him three hours to get bacK
onto the trail.
The work of building the wagon
road from Talkeetna toward the
summit is progressing rapidly, and
has reached a point a short distance
south of Hurricane gulch. The com
pleted road does not now afford the
best of traveling, owing to heavy
rains on the coast side, but Mr.
Calderhead believes it will prove an
excellent highway for winter traf
fic. Road gangs are at work at
several points on both sides of the
summit and it is expected that the
road will be completed before win
ter.
Mr. Calderhead says there is no
question about the road being kept
open throughout the winter, and he
predicts an excellent service between
ends of steel for mail and pass
engers. There are large quantities
of freight to be moved to various
points along the trail, from both
ends of steel, and this in itself will
keep the trail open for the mail
and passenger stages, which should
be able to maintain an uninterrupt
ed three-day schedule.
Summer travel across the summit
has been greatly improved by the
bridging of streams which had to
be forded previously and which were
a source of danger to mushers. All
the streams on the south slope are
now bridged and within a very short
time the few remaining gaps will
be closed on the Interior end of
the trail.
There are many men at work in
the Southern division, Mr. Calder
head says, but the best workers are
those who originally belonged to the
Interior. While the pay is less on
the coast end, the working condi
tions appear to be more favorable
than they are in this division, and
the men seem to be about as well
off financially at the end of the
month as they are over here. He
met a number of oldtimers along
the line, south of the summit, and
they appeared to be fairly well con
tented.
Mr. Calderhead says Anchorage
is a large and fine-iool ing town, but
it was rather quiet during the time
he was there, most of the eetivities
being confined to the construction
camps along the railroad and at
Chiekaloon, where a large force is
now engaged in development work
under the direction of th» navy de
partment.
