The first field work done by the
United States government in con
nection with the proposed Pacific
Yukon highway was completed re
cently when Donald MacDonald,
locating engineer of the Alaska
Road Commission, returned to
Fairbanks after making a recon
naissance of two routes, says the
News-Miner.
It is his intention to start out!
again at once to look over a route
from Tanana Crossing.
The reconnaissance started June
12 and Mr. MacDonald reached
Dawson July 26. His work took
him only to the boundary but he
took advantage of an opportunity
to make a trip to the Yukon Ter
ritory capital.
On the trip over, the route led
up the Goodpaster River, down
Joseph Creek and down the Mid
dle and North Forks of the Forty- i
mile to the Fortymile proper and
then on the ridges to the boun
dary, a total ristance of 325 miles
from Fairbanks. It is another 70
miles from the boundary to Daw
son. The Sixtymile ridge road
serving Glacier and Miller Creeks
leads to Dawson.
“Coming back,” said Mr. Mac
Donald, “I deviated from that !
route at the head of Walker’s Fork
and came down the Fork to Chick
en and from there to Ketchum
stock. From Ketchumstock I fol
lowed Mosquito Fork to a summit
between it and Sand Creek and
crossed to the Healy drainage, 28
miles below the head. I crossed!
Volkman Creek and then came
down the Goodpaster.
“This latter route is 40 miles
shorter than the one we traveled
over first.
With the exception of about 10
miles near the boundary we trav
ersed good country coming back.
The route is, of course, indeter
minate, but in any event there will
be 10 or 12 miles of very heavy
work. The remainder would be
construction similar to that on
j the Steese highway with the ex
| ception that the road would prob
j ably stay pretty much on the
! ridges.”
