DOUBLE WIRE
TO GULKANA.
Line Will Be Shortened and
Call2 Installed Over
, Summit This Week.
Next summer the laud telegraph
Hue will have two wires from Yaldez
%o Gulkaua, including a cable of eight
miles over the summit to avoid the
regular winter combat witb snow, and
several cut-offs will be made, shorten
ing the distance slightly. By the pres
ent lino Gulkana is 135 miles from
Valdez.
The installing of two wires will he
continued until s double line expends
to Fairbanks, but. the woi k wilt require
two or three seasons. The single wire
is much overburdened now but, the
change between Valdez and Gnlkana
w.ll promote its efficiency and avoid
the frequent breaks caused by heavy
snows on the summit.
The cable will ex elid from Icy Point,
©n the southern slope of 1 he summit.,
fco Ptarmigan Drop, on the northern
«ide. It will be buried deep enough
underground to escape b*>tli snow and
landslides.
The changes in the route of the line
to Gulkana will be made with the pur
pose of getting a course les subject
to adverse nat ural conditions conducive
to breaks in the line or its operation,
but incidentally they will reduce the
distance"a few miles.
