GABLE AND A BO'N'S
GDI IS NEEDED 19
PENETRATE COUNTRY
Practically all of that portion of
the Kenai Peninsula south of the
Kenai river and west of Russian
lake is locked from prospectors
for the lack of a cable and bo’n’s
chair near the western end of the
Cooper’s Landing-Kenai road.
Thus reports those who have en
deavored to penetrate the country
i,n an effort to prospect and check
up on legends of large quartz
ledges, some of them reputed to
be from 25 to 50 feet in width. i
The roadway now completed, i
for seven miles, traverses the
south-side of Kenai river for a dis- ;
tance of approximately five miles j
It then crosses to the north sidej
of the river at Schooner’s Bend,
and extends approximately two
miles further, where a brushed
out trail begins and runs to a point
11 miles down the river, and swings
north thru the Seven lakes and on
to Skilak lake.
Thus one may reach Russian
river afoot, but must that stream:
to proceed farther westward and
southward. The chance of fording
is contingent upon the stage of
the water in the river.
At present the only method by :
which prospectors may reach the;
south side of river beyond Rus- j
sian lake, is to jump the rapid in
a boat, abandon it 11 miles down
or line it upstream,a hazardous
and trying experience.
Efforts are being made to per- i
suade the Department of Interior,!
under whose jurisdiction the im
provement remains, to string an
overhead cable between the bluffs
somewhere in the vicinity of Sur
prise creek. This would open all of
the southern side of the river, be
low Russian lake, to prospectors
and give access to the north via
the Seven lakes, the prospective!
route of the Coopers Landing- Ke
nai road and trail, and which is
now traversed overland in winter
by dogteam carrying mail.
