CHAMBER WORKING
FOR PENINSULA
ROAD PROJECT
FINAL TELEGRAM DISPATCHED
TO GEORGE SEXTON AT
WASHINGTON, D. C.
• MEMBERSHIP DRIVE IS On’nOW
Major Signal Corps Coming to Sew
ard; Discuss Famous Valley
The contents of the cablegram
transmitted to George Sexton, ac
knowledged Republican National
Committeeman from Alaska, who
has been at ‘Washington, D. C., for
the past two months by the local
Chamber of Commerce was read at
yesterday’s weekly business meeting
and luncheon and was as follows:
“Chamber desires you to confer
with the Bureau of Public Roads de
partment, Forestry officials, and the
Department of Agriculture, and en
deavor to show them the benefits
to Kenai peninsula residents of a
road up Resurrection river to Rus
sian lakes and thence to Kenai, Kus
silof and Anchor Point. Explain to
them the hundreds of people resid
ing in that large area are without
winter communication and that the
(Construction of this road would
open up the entire peninsula by con
necting with the Moose Pass, Hope,
Sunrise road from Schooner Bend
thru to Quartz creek, an additional
distance of seven to nine miles.”
Every effort is being made at Wash
ington, from various sources, for
the construction of this proposed
wagon road out of Seward thru to
the famed Kenai peninsula region.
iMr. Sexton has been working on it
since his arrival at Washington, as
well as other matters of vital im
portance to Seward and this district'.
The above telegram was wired to
bring out again the necessity of the
building of the road and that Mr.
Sexton would leave the message as
a final parting shot before his depar
ture. Though it is not generally
known, indications for the construc
tion of this road project looks ex
ceedingly bright and members of the
chamber are quite confident of the
ultimate success of their concentrat
ed efforts.
It was with regret the chamber
members listened to the San Fran
cisco dispatch in which it was stat
ed that Admiral Robison, on his
flagship Seattle, accompanied by a
squadron of torpedo vessels, would
not visit Alaska next summer, tihat
there was no basis to the rumor
that a Pacific fleet would make a tour
of inspection along the coast, next
June.
(Such a visit to Alaska by a Pa
cific 'battle fleet would be of primary
importance from a naval standpoint.
Regardless of the statement issued
ifrom San Francisco it is felt local
ly that such a proposed trip has
been recently discussed by naval
authorities and it is quite possible
such a visit will be made. It is a
known fact that two years ago a na
val vessel spent some weeks in this
vicinity on official business.
From Major Louis B. Bender, of
the U. S. Signal Corps, Fort Leaven
worth, Kansas, a communication was
received by tflie chamber secretary
in which Major Bender states he
has been informed Seward will be
his next station and for that reason
he would greatly appreciate any
printed matter on this district which
the chamber has available. He is
interested in learning all he can of
Seward in advance.
Secretary Hannon is forwarding
Major Bender all data he has on
hand and also a number of back
copies of. the Seward Gateway, in
cluding a copy of the special sixty
page Prosperity Edition.
Nothing definite has been learn
j ed to date as to what station Major
Bender will assume upon his arrival
i in Seward.
The membership committee, which
| is now engaged upon a drive, re
| ports satisfactory progress has been
made thus far. Many new members
have joined and every indication
points to the fact that a much larg
er membership than in previous years
will be enrolled.
A discussion arose over the possi
bility of tourists visiting the Valley
of 10,000 Smokes next summer. It
was pointd out that one party last
season was unable to enter the re
gion owing to lack of information,
guide and proper transportation. An
effort will be made by the chamber
in securing correct data as to who

FOR SPECIAL SHORT
COURSE
The ‘average run of ore on the
Brewster brothers property, located
at Mile 12, Johnson Pass, Moose Pass
district, is about $40 a ton but there
is much high grade which runs ex
tremely high, stated S. M. Brewster,
who has been in town'since last Sat
urday. Picked pieces of this high
grade assayed as high as $750 a ton,
he said. A small Ellis Ball mill is
on the ground as well as other equip
ment necessary for complete opera
tions which will begin early in the ;
spring.
Mr. Brewster departs for Fairbanks
tomorrow morning where he will en
roll in the Alaska College for the
ten weeks’ special short course in
mining. Reservation for him to re
side in the new dormitory was made
some weeks ago. The special mining
course begins February 1 and ac
cording to Mr. Brewster he is under
■the impression one other man from
Seward Js going to take the course,
E. Breiwster, his brother, who has
been on the Johnson Pass ground
since 1915, is remaining at tlhe mine ,
attending to final details in connec
tion with beginning spring operations.
The brothers expect to operate in
only a small way and plan doing all
the work themselves. The vein has
been uncovered for a distance of
about 500 feet and the tunnel has
been driven in an approximate 90
feet.
S. M. Brewster arrived in Seward
last summer, from Birmingham, Ala.,
Regarding road work which was ac
complished last summer by the For
estry department, he stated his
brother and himself appreciate very
much the efforts of the local cham
ber in assisting them to procure the
needed road and bridge repairs lead
ing to their property from the Moose
Pass road. Upon the completion of
the road work the quartz mill was
immediately moved in without any
difficulty.
