SEWARD PENINSULA R. R.
FINALLY PURCHASED
RY TERRITORY
After many months of negotiation
the Federal Road Commission has
at last purchased, on behalf of the
Territory of; Alaska, the Seward
Peninsula Railroad, extending from
Norn*- to Shelton, a distance of ap
proximately eighty six miles.
Mr. O. I). Cochran, the attorney
for the Pioneer Mining & Ditch Co.
received a telegram yesterday morn
leg from G. \V. Campbell, the Com
pany's secretary in San Francisco
advising him that the transfer of
the railroad to the Territory had
been completed, and that the road
sold for the purchase price of
$24,000 dollars CASH.
On May 5th lf>21. nearly twc
years ago. the governor approved
the act of the legislature authoris
ing and empowering the Federal
Board of Road Commissioners to
purchase on behalf and for the.
Territory of Alaska the Seward'
| Peninsula Railroad, and appropriat
ing the money to pay for the same.
The-"Ions' delay in consumating
the purchase, as authorized by the
legislature, hns worked a very great
hardship upon the miners in the
Kougarok district and along the line
of this road, as the road has for the
past two seasons been practically
impassable.
Now that the road has finally
been transferred to the Territory
we feel certain that the Federal
Board of Road Commissioners will
carry out the further provisions of
the act of the legislature and "place
the said Railroad. road bed and
track in good condition for transpor
tation of passengers and freight and
operation as a public tram and higii
