As Ims been stated before, the trail
V
to the Iditarod is and has been for
some time in a bad condition. At mile
53 at the tunnels the trail has been al
most impassable and mushers from the
Iditarod were loud in their denuncia-j
tion of the trail and some declared that!
they would uot attempt to go in over (
the Seward trail unless it was put in
better condition. Al Wolf, who has
opened a roadhouse at Mile 5I>, has
been doing good work at the tunnels
recently without compensation, and
has not asked for any, being anxious
to have the trail in good condition. A
movement is now on foot among some
of the business men of Seward to raise j
a fund to be used in keeping the trail •
in better condition. . The. proposition
is to use this money between the tun
nels and Mile 71. It will not require
a large amount, as a] l the men ask is
sufficient to keep them in grub and
they will give their' services gratis.
Let every business man in Seward get
in and subscribe to this fund, if they
hope to benefit by the travel over the
Seward-Iditarod trail..
To those who have the idea that the
mines near Seward cannot operate dur
ing the winter months, it may interest
them to know that the Skeen-Leohuer
mill lost but one day only during the
present month. The mill is steadily
crushing away every day and will con- j
tinue to do so indefinitely, barring ac
cidents. __
It is reported that there are more
than forty trappers in the vicinity of
Kelly river this winter, and that a fox
has a mighty poor show, even though
he might hop around on one foot.
