Ill a statement summarizing the
annual work of the Alaska Road
Commission for the current year,
f Major Malcolm Elliott states that
a party under the"direction of En
gineer Donald McDonald is con
structing a new road from Gulkana
on the Richardson highway easter
ly to reach the important Chisto
chena-Chisana country in the Cop
per river region which is known to
contain valuable mineral resources.
While the scope of mining in the
past has been carried on by small
outfits, handicapped in many in
stances by the lack of proper rood
facilities, considerable gold has al
ready been recovered from the
placer beds of Dan. Chitiu and Rex
creeks in the Nizina district. Slate
creek in the Chistochena district
and Albert creek in the Nelchina
district. Few properties have been
exploited in this region. A consid
erable area containing placer gold
deposits and other valuable miner
als await the prospector’s pick. This
important section of road building
will undoubtedly give a greater im
• petus to mining in this region.
A good start has been made on
this project in the rehabilitation of
the existing road to Chistochen and
advance work beyond that point.
Location has been carried on con
siderably beyond Chistochena.
S. A. C. MEETING
Tomorrow night the committees
appointed by President Sylvia Sex
ton of the Seward Athletic Club
now in process of reorganization
will make their reports of the acti
vities and investigations conducted
during the week, and recommenda
tions of policies necessary to the
success of the much needed organi
zation.

! UIVER OVERFLOWS MILE 15
The Seward-Kenai Lake High
way, the pride and joy of citizens
of this district, has suffered much
from the heavy rains of the past
week from slides and now, high
water. At Mile 15, it was reported
I his morning, Snow River has
flooded the road to a depth of
at least two-feet. The slides are
being cleared up as fast as they
come down but from Mile 15 on,
it is doubtful, it was said, if cars
could cross the flooded area.
----
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC NORMAL
Tourist traffic over the Richard
son highway during the current
year has been about normal. Mod
ern auto stages and better road
house accommodations made it
;more comfortable for travellers
I than in previous years and this im
provement in facilities is expected
to stimulate business for future
seasons, according to Major Mal
colm Elliott of the Alaska Road
Commission. Except for turning
back one small party of 'tourists
early in June, due to the inacces
sibility of a damaged portion of the
highway at the Pass north of Val
dez, traffic has been maintained all
I season without serious delay.
