Seward Peninsula contains over 46,191,205 acres (ovel* three times the
area of Massachusetts) of which no more than 95,000 acres have been staked.
With only partial development, this staked area has produced to date over
|1MM)00,000 in gold alone.
Aooordiog to U. S. Geological Survey reports, there are untold millions
ih gold, silver, copper, tin, cobalt, nickel, tungsten, platinum, antimony,,
graphite, mica and coal awaiting the prospector and capitalist.
The establishment of the Nome-KouQsrok-Candle rood •/•tom will
t-nablo us to supply th* much wooded minerals demanded by ths Unhod States.
Tho completion of ths Nome Harbor will assist tho sewing fish
industry, facilitate trad* with Siberia and coast wise commerce.
Quarts is rapidly developing, particularly in ths lino of Tin, Coppsr,
Gold and Graphite. Much needed minerals abound in every section and with

communication with tlie rest of the
world—the sea.
About thirty nvilcs of road has al
ready been installed with wide benefit
in the Peering section and a govern
ment constructed road of about 15
miles length exists in the Candle dis
trict. Both are so situated that they
may be readily extended to connect
with a trans-peninsula line from
Nome. If the Candle road should he

liver and both attach to the Notne
Kougarok road, the coal deposits of

the Candle section would beeomo
available to the more southerly sec
tions of the peninsul^.. Inasmuch as
fuel Is the first essential to existence
in this far northern clime, the benefit
that will accrue to the people by such
a development can hjirdly# bo overes
timated. •
To delineate the henrffioiul effects
and even briefly outline Hie increase
of development which is certain to fol
low the installation of a trunk line
road of the suggested character is'im
possible within the limited scope of a
letter. A small volume would be re
quired to explain in detail the poten
tial possibilities embraced within the
district which the proposed road would
traverse. It is certain, however, that
the resources are such as to fully war
rant the costs of such a construction
and will re pay a rich reward to the
nation in an increase of wealth pro
duction through the development of
known sources of production. The
mineral production of the district Is
still confined by transportation limit
ations to a comparatively small juv
'lion of the peninsula and vast areas
of known values are still practically
unexplojted. Probably nowhere
within the American domain can the
government effort road improvements
with greater assurance of profitable
return than in this section.
