SEWARD ROUTE
THE RIGHT ONE
! R. II. Mathews Gives Views on
| Nearest and Most Feasible
| Route to Valdez Creek.
R. II. Matthews, a passenger front
j the westward has this to say about
Valdez creek: “The gold strikes on
■ Valdez creek and other creeks in that
vicinitv are turning out well and it is
I expected that a large number of pros
pectors will be going in there this
year. Hitherto the route into this
country has been by the way of Val- •
dez -a long and inconvenient trail
I either summer or winter. The near
est and most feasible route is by way j
ot Seward, Knik and then up theSusit- i
j na river. By this route Valdez creek
can be reached in half the time it now
takes from Valdez. The only objection
to the Seward winter route is theCrow
creek summit, but funds are now be
ing raised to cut this out. A trail
will be built along the northern shore
of Turnagain arm from Glacier creek
past Bird point, which will do away
with the Crow creek pass.
“In the summer time supplies can be
landed at Knik, and this would shorten
i the winter trail anywhere from six to
ten days. The Alaska Commercial
company is establishing a new station
within seventy miles of the new dig
gings, and it is expected they will
have a large stock of goods on hand
before next winter. Meantime they
are taking orders from parties who are
going in, and will have the goods de
livered at some point near Valdez
creek. Last fall parties working on
the creek took out over $300,000, and
they could have done better, but they
had to quit work owing to a lack of
supplies."—Juneau Record.
The funds for the trail from Glacier
creek, now called Girdwood, past Bird
point have already been raised and the j
work on the trail practically complet-1
ed. A. F. Gibson, tne foreman of the
job says that the trail can be adver
tised as one that will meet all require
ments of winter travel and will give
safe and easy access to the Susitna
country from Seward.
