McKinley park
ROAD EXTENDED
AT RAPID PACE
A beautiful season for tourists at
Mount McKinley National Park was
enjoyed this year and there were |
! only two parties that did not see
I the magnificent scene of America’s
highest mountain peak. These two
parties failed to marvel at the sight
of lofty, majestic Mount McKinley
because of poor visibility conditions
which prevailed at the time of
their visit, according to Francis
Leslie, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. E.
Leslie, of Seward. Francis returned
last evening from McKinley Parkj
where he has been tourist agent;
; for the Alaska Railroad since July l.j
About 275 tourists visited thej
i Park this year, he stated, and this |
is about 15 per cent less than the'
number of visitors last year. In
view of the uncertain business^
conditions in the States, it was re-;
marked, that the decrease was not!
| bad at all.
i Francis said that numerous cari-;
i bou, grizzly bear and sheep had
! been sighted in the Park this year,
i Only the other day, he said, he:
was walking along the road when
he saw a small band of sheep. If
he had had his salt shaker with
j Francis figures he could have
sprinkled a few salt grains on the
sheep’s tail and captured it and
sent it down to the University of
Washington campus and place it
in his Sigma Chi fraternity house
i for a pet. He didn't have the salt
shaker with him so Francis is still
looking for a pet to take with
him when he returns to the Uni
; versity within the next few weeks.
In speaking of present work in
the Park Francis stated that work
on the McKinley Park highway to
Wonder Lake is progressing rapid
ly. He said the Highway had been
completed as far as McKinley Bar,
a spot from which Mount McKin
ley is easily visible. Hundreds of
tourists have viewed the lofty peak
from this spot already.
About 25 men are employed by
the Alaska Road Commission on
the projects. They have two camps.
One of the camps is in charge of
Ben Cleary and the other is under
the direction of “Pioneer Smith”.
Smith formerly was with the
Alaska Engineering Company and
for many years made his home in
Seward.
The McKinley Park road passes
the Joe Quigley, gold, lead and sil
ver mine property on the Kantish
na region.
The Quigley property has recent
j ly come in for a lot of attention
| from mining engineers. General A. t j
| D. McRae, capitalist from Canada. j
| is said to have obtained an option
i on the property recently. Previous j
to Mr. McRea’s visit the property:
! was examined by J. D. Harlan, of j
j Fairbanks, buyer for the Fairbanks)
Exploration Company. Mr. Harlan j
I also visited the Eva Creek Mines,'
! at Fej^-y.
j Among the persons who have:
i made extended visits to the Park j
! this year are Mr. and Mrs. M. C.j
j Edmunds and three children. Mr.j
i Edmunds is district superintendent j
j of the Alaska Road Commission;
| and has been supervising the work,
j on the McKinley Park road. Mrs.1
I Edmunds and children went to
j Anchorage last week. Mr. Edmunds
came down from McKinley Park
: as far as Willow Station on Friday’s
I train. Ike P. Tayior, who went to j
1 the Interior via the Richardson
; Highway from his Juneau head
| quarters also stopped off at Wil
I low station on Friday’s train.
Mrs. Luke, formerly caterer at ^
the Alaska College kitchen, who has'
been cooking for the Alaska Road j
Commission at McKinley Park, is j
expected to arrive in Seward next j
j week and go to the States.
Elta Fry and Norma, Jordet, tea- ,
chers in the Fairbanks grade school!
' have spent the Summer at McKin-'
j ley Park. They will leave for Fair-1
banks on September 15.
C. E. Richmond, former owner of
Richmond’s Sweet Shop—now Sal- i
ly’s Sweet Shop—in Anchorage, and
who has been employed as clerk
with the National Park Service, has
accepted a position as bookkeeper
for Jack Crowdy at his Bear Creek
gold mine. Mr. and Mrs. Richmond
came down to Anchorage on Fri
j day’s train.
James Galen, president of the
• McKinley Park Tourist and Trans
portation Company, has been in the
Park all Summer. George A. Lin
go, Mr. Galen’s associate also has
been in the Park all Summer and
has just completed a hunt with
the Beal party into the Wood River
country. This party is now in Anch
’ orase and are planning to leave
for the States soon.
The tourist season at the Park
closes on September 15.
Wyman Anderson, Moose Pass
mining man, was among the ar
rivals on Friday’s train. Mr. An
derson returned to the Pass today
but expects to return to Seward
next week-end en route to Juneau
on a brief business trip.
