NORTHERN LINE if BE READY
FOR TRAFFIC IN THREE YEARS
Thomas Riggs, Jr., a member,* of
the .Alaska engineering commission
and last summer engaged in mak
ing the final survey for the Alas
ka railroad sectiou between Broad
pass and Fairbanks, arrived yes
terday noon on the Alameda, and
after a visit here of two days -will
leave for Washington, says the
Seattle P.. I. He is the fiTSt of
the commission to teach Seattle.
Mr. Riggs brings news that the
survey of the entire route has been
practically completed, ready for
construction; that eight miles of
steel are down, and that thirty miles
more of roadbed is ready for rails
an^ 'hat these will be laid within'
thirtv days. The road and road
bed uow completed is between An
chorage and Matanuska Junction,
and while Mr. Kiggs haa not been
»n the ground since July, he talked
:>ver the work with Lieut. Mears,
Another member of the commission,
by long-distance phone from Se
ward to Anchorage, Lieut Mears'
i°adquarters, before sailing for
Seattle. Of special inteirest to
Fairbanks and adjoining districts is
Mr. Riggs' announcement that lie
'ViU do all in his power to have the
ink from Broad pass to Falr
>auks completed as soon as possible
islug the river as a means of get
iuf In supplies, and not waiting
or the steel to reach the southern
iJo "I Broad pass. Mr. Riggs will
ncirporate this recommendation in
lis report to Chairman Edes.
While Mr. Riggs will not make
,n (-stimate of tho time needed to
omplote the ro;vd clear through to
''aij banks, he said yesterday that
t appropriations of $9,000,000 a
ear could be had the work would
akn about three Years. This he
ided money oru^u0u ».
u all likelihood the time will not
•o cut much shorter, because of
he difficulties of taking supplies
a, it nc-t being practicable to work
as* rail connections. Should con
duction 6tart at Fairbanks, as
lr. Riggs hopes, this limit might be
ut down. He estimates the time
eeded to build the track between
'airbauks and Broad pass, a Btretch
f 140 miles, as two years, if river
ransportation is used to bring In
upplies and material.
After a record of work for the
;overnment in Alaska since 1906
ir.til tbis fall, during which Mt.
tiggs and his various parties went
hrough all sorts of hardships and
langers without losing a man, ho (
returns this time saddened over
tho drowning of two of his men in
the swift and dangerous Nenaua
river September 15. The two,
Ueorge McFaujj o' Victoria, B. C-,
and Pat McHugh, formerly of Ce
dar Rapids, Iowa, but a sourdough
for many years, were drowned while
moving a boat down stream from an
abandoned camp.
McFaua's body was recovered and
sent to his pareuts in Victoria, but
search for the corpse of McHugh
was unavailing.
"It seems strange that the firsts
time I was working hi the Nooih,
under what I call kindergarten
methods, I should lose two men,
when under the eld system we took
far greater chances and had a
much harder time," he said yester
day at the Arctic Club. "Up to
this y«ar we never had such lux
uries as supply trains and boats
ou the rivers, but got through the
country and across rlvera as best
we cauld without having an acci
dent"
Mr. Riggs sayB that the section
from Broad pass to Fairbanks, which
will open up a vast field of coal
for use In development work, wil1
be easy to construct. "There is'
very little hard rock work along the
whole route," ho said. "The maxi
mum grade is but 1 per cent. Fair
banks needs this road to get at
the coal in. the Nenana fields. The
main deposit extends over a district
lbout twenty miles long and fifteen
miles wide. I saw veins forty feet
:hick, and there are plenty of them.
The coal is a lignite, and while it
will never be exported, it will prove
)I Incalculable value to Fairbanks
md adjoining regions in develop
nent work.
xuu Koveroment will lease these
inueka tleiusj-. iV_
jacks should see great develop
nenls as soon as the coal can be
aid down ready fur the operators.
"The entire road will take thir
;een years to complete if we get but
ft,000,000 a year from the govern
ment, as we had during the past
rear, but I have seen a report that
£9,000,000 would probably 'b® forth
:omlng next season. Should thia
:o:itinue, it will take three years
iltogether to complete the entire
line. I am going to -recommend that
tl.e read from Fairbanks to Broad
pass be built independently of
the work on the southern end, al
