CHISANA TRAIL IS REPORTED
TO RE IN NEED OF REPAIRS
Y. Kawakami, who spent the past
three summers in the Shushanna
camp, where he has been conducting
a store, has just returned from there,
says the Cordova Times.
He came over the trail which is in
bad shape, and it took his seven days
to make the trip to McCarthy. Kawa
kami says the development of this
district has been greatly retarded for
the lack of trails and the mining men
there are very anxious to have the
Alaska road commission give their,
some consideration. Freighting costs
from 20 to 25 cents a pound, which
is prohibitive. As there is both pla
cer and lode copper in that section,
and the White river country, the fu
ture would be most promising provlu
ing there were good trails, so that
supplies and machinery could be
hauled reasonably.
On account of the shortage of wa
ter the gold output was not up. to
expectations. James and Nelson
found better pay after going down
to bedrock, pans running as high as
one dollar, and figure that as a hy
draulic proposition they will be able
to make a good clean up next sea
son.
Your First Line of Defense
should be an insurance policy to pro
tect you against loss. Act now—to
day; tomorrow may be too late. Have
the Alaska Inv. Co. write your in
surance. 2t
Yesterday was visiting day at the
Post and a number of Valdez ladies
took occasion to call on friends at
that place.
