POSSIBILITIES OP PULP MILL !
ON "GASTINEAU CHANNEL
There is a' possibility that a paer
mill will be built at some' point on
Gastineau *»h*im*l ..within the next
year or twp. The plant will be put in
by the Alaska Gastineau Mining Com
pany if that, organisation can com
plete the negotiations now being con
sidered.
The mining company has conaider
ableabl^ surplus power and some time
ago began looking for an outlet for it
The matter-of a paper mill came up
and negotiations have been under way
for some time, having in view a mi'.l
that would use the power dormant
There axe many things to consider
in the building of a mill of this na
ture aclotdiz^g to Manager Jackson of
the mining Company. ^First of all
there is the’"timber. The government
requires certain conditions before it
will advertise the sale' of the timber.
It then takes 90 days for th* adver
tising. Information as to the available
amt of machinery is also an import
ant factor. With these and nymy oth
er factors not yet solved you can read
ily see that the project is only in the
formative stage. We art interested in
Alaska and of course will take a pride
in anything that is or can be done
toward the development*
