Catalla Correspondence
The following account of the mil
road trouble at Catalla was received
from our correspondent too laic l'ur
publication Saturday:
The Alaska l'acific Railway & Termi
nal Co. claims a right-of-way and t< r
miuul grounds of 10 acres, which has
been approved by the secretary of Ro
of tiie interior, and have built a trestle
along one side of same The Copi er
,t Northwestern road wished to cross
these grounds, but permission was re
fused and application made at Juneau
for an injunction restraining them
from interfering with the Bruner ter
minal or right-of-way. On May 7th
tho Guggenheim pile-driver crew
reached ttie lines of the Bruner survey
and by night, had piles driven right up
to the trestle of Bruner’s, where they
chained the machinery down and went
to supper. They had been warned re
peatedly* by the Bruner people that
any attempt to cross their line would
cause trouble, as an injunction had
been granted and was then on the way
north. While the crew was at supper |
the explosion occured which wrecked
the outfit.
There is no doubt but that an at
tempt to continue the Guggenheim
line across the property ot Bruner will
result in trouble, and possibly in blood
shed.
Indications are that 14,()00 Alaska fur
seal skius will be the catch for this ,
year.
