A road into the Fortymile coun
try would open to exploitation
great bodies of mining ground
which, under current conditions,
are not profitable to operate, in the (
] opinion of N. M. Patterson and A. |
L. Hagen of Jack Wade creek. At
present only the highest grade i
ground can be worked and as a re- j
suit comparatively few miners are
working. In the winter supplies
must be brought in over the ice,
and in summer by pack train.
Freight costs are exceedingly high.
