KOURAROK RAILROAD
MAY RE REMOVED
Mr. Jiifet Undeberg, h?;id of the
Pioneer .Mining Company and present
owner of the Nome-Kougnrok railroad
line, is seriously considering selling n
major portion of the rails, leaving only
a few miles of track in the immediate
vicinity of Nome, .according to a state
ment made to a Nugget representative
during the present week.
Mr. Lindeberg, in reply to n
question as t<* his intentions regarding
the road, said he had receive*! offers,
to purchase the rails and Is seriously
considering a proposal to sell them,
with the possible exception of a few
miiles out of Nome. In the event of
sale the rails will be removed. Mr.
I.lndeberg stated that he disliked very
much to see the tracks removed but
there appeared no other way in which
he could realize the money Invested.
Asked regarding recent rumors In
timating possible purchase by the fed
eral or territorial governments, he re
plird that be had heard suggestions of
such character. The rumors referred
to have beem prevalent during the Iasi
week or two. One is to the effect that
efforts are to br° made to induce to a
federal government to take .. ,er the
road and the other suggested that the
territory may l>e induced to purchas
the road out of th.' territorial road
.Mr. Undeberg said he is willing to
consider favorably any reason.* hie
proposition frolm the government or
territorial authorities. The entire road
could he purchased, he said, not onlv
for a small fraction of its original '
cost but also for considerably less than
the amount required to build a wagon
road as far as the line extends into
the Kougnrok.
In view of the prospect that all save
a small section of the road may be re.
moved, those interested in securing its
retention should lose no time in takih*
■Ups to bring the matter to eithe*
fMeml or territorial attention. The
• anomic imporance of the road is im
ijui'stionable and its removal will
prove a serious blow to one of the larg
est potential productive sections of thr
Reward District. The road is the niait\
highway of travel to the Kouguroh
gold fields and, even in its present un
earrd for state, provides a highwax
for supply transportation to that sec
tion of immense value to the miner.1
and other residents. In view of 4h
fact that the road can be puivhaiot
for a small part of the cost of con
strueting a wagon road and will b
fully as serviceable as an ordinar;
highway, in addition to costing far !?s
for maintenance. It appears errtinentl;
practicable for either the territory o
federal government to take it over, in
stead of building a wagon road, as i
certain to be done ultimately.
