ALASKA RAILROAD BUILDING
Some tiny people outside of Alaska
will pick up accurate information
! about the territory. Intelligent men
are trying to do it now but they can't
get the stutf all at once. Here comes
the editor of the Mining and Scienti
fic Press of San Francisco, one of the
ablest and mast reliable mining publi
cations in the land, and hands his
readers the latest news of Alaska rail
road building. He tells with a close
| approximation t<> accuracy of the
White Pass Yukon, the short lines
on Seward peninsula, projects for
I building from Valdez anti < hvu, and
then innocently adds:
* Anutl. railroad is to go from
Resurrect aei hay to Fairbanks on thej
i Tanara re r. v ' A few miles!

1 eided to make a tight tor the same
number in the Republican convention.

tral'. there being no recorded vote

Failed to Find the Engineers
Jerry Odale came to Seward on the
Dora after a fruitless search for the:
Blakely party of railroad engineers.
He evidently passed them on the Su
sitna river by going up one side of an
Bland whiie they came down on the
oilier. Odale and Mike Kmidsen took
a boat up to bring the engineers down
and went twenty miles above the forks
before they decided that Blakely’s
men had slipped by them in another
boat. They left here May 10.
Most new mining districts are dis
covered by accident. The reason for
this probably is that prospectors are
inclined to search for conditions with
which they have become familiar else
where. passing by all other occur
rences as of little value. The discov
ery is often made bv one entirely un
familiar with geology and unpreju
diced by previous experience. For
this reason valuable mines are some
times discovered in most unexpected
places.
