Col. Steese Says Road
to Ophir Will Be Com
pleted Present Season
In a latter recently received from
Dun Sutherland. Delegate from Alaska,
he mentions the subject of road con
struction in the interior of Alaska.
The following paragraph is of partic
ular interest:
“I have taken up the matter of the
Long Tokotna road with Colonel Janies
G. Steese, recently, and he informed
me that there was about '835,000 spent
on the Tocotna end of the road this
past season. He tells me that it is his
intention to fullv complete the road
into the town of Ophir next season, and
it is his purpose to spend at least 835.
000 on that and a* the project, and
somewhat more provided ha obtains an
increase in appropriation from Oba
gress I have been urgifcrg the -ea-|
larged allotment for this (project for
some time, as I‘believe that if this
road could be completed from1 either
end into the Cripple creekKcountry it
would bring about consi lerable placer
and perhaps quarts minibg develop
ment. I have long believed that in
the unfrozen ground on Cripple there
must b* gome good- placer cfeposits, but
believe a drill will be required to dem
onstrate values.”
