Aniak ■,Kuskokwim River), August 21. —From Iditarod to Kol-1
makof, on the Kuskokwim river, traveling via the Crooked creek |
trail, is slightly less than 100 miles. From Kolmokof to Cook ;
inlet is about 200 miles traveling via the railroad survey route of |
the old Iliamna and Nome Short Route Railway. Once this route
becomes establishhed. Iditarod mushers can reach the ocean boats
in five days with a good dogteam, traveling light, and in six days j
more reach Seattle.
The trail from Iditarod to Kolmakof has been used for three
years past, and is well supplied with good roadhouses and cabins,
and is a safe and easy trail to travel.
At Kolmakof the trail leaves the Kuskokwim river and follows
the valley of the Aniak. It is a water-level trail- At Spruce City,
20 miles from Kolmakof, and the head of navigation on the Aniak,
the trail makes a junction with the railread survey- The route
would follow the present trail to the Aniak diggings, a distance of
about GO miles, and then follows up the survey to the East Fork of
the Aniak across to the head of the Nushagak river, and on o
Cook inlet.
As a route for a winter trail to the Outside, no better could be
found anywhere. It is well timbered, low divides, no water of
large streams to cross; no snowslides or overflows; is as free from
storms and high winds as any route, and is an absolutely safe trail
to travel.
The saving in distance over the Seward trail is over 200 miles
one way, and there would be no danger of loss of life.
Establish a mail route this way and that would put an end to
delayed mails during the winter. Snowslides and two to three
months’ blockades on the Copper River railroads would cease to
worry us. A mail service this way would supply the Kuskokwim,
which up to the present time is a mailless country; with 700 miles
of navigable water and no postoffice or mail route above Bethel !
From the Aniak to Cook inlet it will be necessary to cut out
the growth of small brush, which grew since the right-of-way was
cut.
The same line of boats run to Cook inlet that call at Seward.
Nome and intermediate points will no doubt be greatly inter
ested in the establishment of this comparatively short piece of
trail to the Outside
