I LIAM NA LAKE REGION VERIT
ABLE STOREHOUSE OF UNDE
VELOPED WEALTH
“The Iliamna Lake country is one
of the greatest storehouses of wealth
in the Territory,” is the way Joe
Stanton, manager of the Seward Trad
ing company, and Leo Koslosky, of
the K. and M. Store, expressed them
selves on their return from Iliamna
aboard Heinie Berger’s staunch little
motor-ship, Discoverer.
The Seward merchants were out on
a sort of Rotary, Iviwanis, Commercial
Club and salesmanship mission.
“One would scarcely believe what
that country offers,” said Mr. Stanton,
acting as spokesman and heartily sec
onded by Mr. Koslosky. “It is the
greatest fur country in Alaska and in
addition is highly productive for gar
dening, while in the northern portion,
around Lake Clark is one of the larg
est known copper fields in the world.”
Arriving at Iliamna Bay aboard the
Discoverer, the “prospectors” jour
neyed afoot over the trail to the vil
lage, situated about ten miles from
the coast. It was the first trip of the
Discoverer, which now supplies the
first regular boat service to the east
coast ofthe peninsula serving Bhistol
Bay by trail via Iliamna lake.
“But there is yet work to be done in
connecting this region with the outside
world the year round,” said Mr. Stan
ton. “While we were there we saw
men packing on their backs a distance
of ten miles a: d charging 10 cents a
pound for the service. The trail for
about two miles from the coast pass
es over a hill. This trail has been
dug along the hillside and affords ac
cess by foot. The remaining eight
and a fraction miles is graded and the
tundra stripped off, but needs surfac
ing before much traffic could pass over
it. Once this is made passable for
wagon or double-enders all the way it
will open the country and allow of
access to the outside world for a large !
area and enable the residents of Bris- -
tol Bay and intervening country to re
ceive mail three times a month if
Mr. Berger secures a contract, in
stead as at present only once a month
in the summer season, when the
steamer Starr touches at Bristol Bay.
In addition to marketing their pro- j
ducts and receiving necessities of
life. When we arrived at the village
they had not enjoyed an egg for three
months and I was almost mobbed for J
the oranges which I took along. I
saw one man packing 85 pounds of
Hershey’s chocolates on his back to
the village, at a cost of $8.50 freigt- *
age for the case.
“There are approximately 5,000 peo
ple in the country of the peninsular
and along the coast toward Bering
sea, made up of whites and natives.
They could use a lot of goods if it
wrere possible to get them to where
they could be distributed. In return
they have enormous quantities of furs
that would be shipped out over the
route across the peninsular and to
Seward, which "would naturally be the
supply point for goods in exchange.
“While over there we were told of
the great copper and other mineral
deposits of the Lake Clark region,
which are pronounced by those who
have seen them to be the most extens
ive in Alaska, not excepting Kenne
cott. I have been informed that two
engineers, representing the Kennecott
Copper Corporation are now en route
to the Lake Clark country to exam
ine some of these properties. (
“As regards the volume of traffic
which would pass over a road across
from Iliamna Bay to the Village sit
uated near Iliamna Lake and con
nected by waterway with the lake,
which in turn affords transportation
across to Bristol Bay, there are 26
canneries on Bristol Bay, employing
a large number of people. I would
like to see the matter of a road taken
up and pressed to successful conclu-!
sion, for it would mean an artery |
through which a big volume of busi
ness would travel and go far toward
developing the great country.”
Messrs. Stanton and Koslosky pro
nounce the Discoverer one of the best
little craft sailing out of Seward. “We |
saw her tested in a rough sea,” said
they, “and she rode like a duck and
proved a splendid rough weather
boat.”
