The snrvey for the proposed mil
itary wagon road to extend across I
the country from Valdez to Eagle
Is being pushed front this end with
ull possible dispatch un jft th# tfchle
management of engineer J. M.
Clapp,. who will probably carry on
vhc-work a* tv* a* Tanana crossing,
or until he meets the party from
Vhv EUgle end of the route. On
July 1st Mr. Clapp and party were
mM on the south side of the Gul
kana river, which indicates the
Sapid progress they are making.
This will iw>ure theiq-eatly seturi*
to. Yaldez, when a report to the
gov*B»ment will he in order. In
making up this report Mr. Clapp
will no doubt require all the statis
tics possible relative to this section,
ss, for example, the imports into
Yaldez fos tlfet amount seiUt
ill over the trail, tho number of
people going in ea«h.?y.ear,i its wt
vantages us a mail route, and other
yoints demonstrating the necessity
of a wagon suad.
Hr. Clapp, while on his present
trip can judge for himself as to the
ffwdhilily of hui$fi«glb*road, bnf.
the reasons why such a road is a
necessity is a subject that would
fleqiiue his presence for a longer per
he enn very likely spare.
He will, therclore, bo depc-ndsist for
bis information upon others.
Would it not he well for the
chamber of comrnerco to lake up
the matter *«£ taw vtl tW M>cew
ary data prepared to submit to
Mr. Clapp upon his return to Val

an if Seward might be the coming

VUi following is an extract from
the- geological report for 1903:
“The climate of central Alaska
is much more kindly than is gen
erally supposed. The gulch life of
Die mines i& every year becoming
now comfortable by reason of the
fccoeasing frequency of small veg
stailln gardens where lettuce, rad
whes* turnips and potatoes are
grown* which together with an
abundance of the native blueber
Dcs, cranberries, and eeeasiedal
raspberries, add materially- to one
of the greatest pleasures ot Alaska
lie—a. gpod mnnJ.,
N. J. Langdon reports a rather
novel though not entirely pleasant
experience while in the vicinity
of Mt. Pabloff. On April tith the
volcano became active and threw
great quantities of sand, ashes nnd
volcanic dust to a groat height, and
so much of this was there that it
fell nearly two inches deep over
au area of several miles.
Almost countless numbers of
ptarmigan were killed by the fiery
rain, and deer, bear und other
game took a hasty departure from
the vicinity of the volcano.—Nome
