VIEWS ON TRAIL
Miner States His Own and Mone
han’s Reasons for Choosing
Route to Valdez Creek.
On our personal behalf I am obliged
to reply to some of the statements
made by the Valdez Prospector con
cerning myself and party. I have no
interest in booming any particular sec
tion.
In the early spring when l started
from Seattle with my outfit, it was an
absolute impossibility for me to go
in to Valdez creek in April. Anyone
who knows will bear me out in this
statement. The argument was made by
certain acquaintances of mine in \ ai
de/, that I surely bad “softening of the
brain" to attempt what I did in seek
ing a feasible route to Valdez creek,
l know I did not accomplish what i
imped for, but considering every
J thing I feel we made good success of
the undertaking, in as much as we
i did learn that there were other routes
than via Valdez. Any business man
in Valdez knows and could substanti
ate my statements when I say that
| they have done but very little, it any
thing, to remove the obstacles which
are a barrier to the Valdez route
through Keystone and Tiekel canyons.
Valdez people have among them those
! who are interested in the transporta
tion of supplies into the interior, but
is there any among them who would
contract to deliver supplies from Val
dez to Valdez creek for less than 45
cents per pound? Now the common
sense public knows that to transmit
a summer’s outlie takes from 100 to
j 120 days from Valdez to Valdez creek
at a cost of about 65 cents per pound.
The question settles down to this, is
I there any other route by which we can
lessen the cost of transportation for
our supplies? We mining men are
not town boosters or ollice seekers.
I Little do we care whether Valdez or
Seward are on the map, il we have
the ground we can get our supplies
from New York if necessary. But it
is hoped a fair minded public will
give us credit in possessing some com
mon sense. It is almost needless to
mention that Mr. Peter Monehan is
the man behind every movement that
has been made to facilitate mining on
Valdez creek. He is one of the discov-;
erers and a man who has stayed by
what he predicted, namely, a “dis- j
trict which would prove to be one of
the world’s gold producers.” Mr.
Monehan has made good, he is the
bone and marrow of the district, a
man who knows where his interest lie
and he has come to the conclusion that

First Bononza Farmer
Fargo, N. D.—But one man in the
United States ever had GOO men and
000 horses working on his farm, using
150 gang ploughs that turned from
three to eighteen furrows at a time,
seventy gang drills, 150 self-binding
harvesters and twelve steam threshing
outfits, and shipping two trainloads of
wheat every day in the threshing
season. That man died recently at
Casselton, twenty miles west of here.
He was Oliver Dalrymple, and his won
derful farm, which for many years con
tained 30,000 acres and at the time of
his death 17,000, was celebrated abroad
as well as in this country.
Dalrymple was the original bonanza
farmer and he demonstrated the value
in dollars and cents of the combination
of the science of agriculture and mod
ern business methods.
