Alaska railroad. The government
reindeer, in charge of,Mr. Mozee, as
well as the herd of Miss Beat, Mr. Pe
terson states, are now located at the
head of the Tonsona. The trip from |
Salmon to Kobe occupied 18 days, no
effort, being made toward hurriedness.
Coming back, however, over practi
cally the same route, and snowsboeing
at the head of his team of five dogs
mosti of the way to the head of the
Tonsona, Peterson made the trip
in eight and one-half days. The route
followed from Nenana was via Toklat
river, Diamond City, Glacier, Eureka,
Wonder lake, Clearwater and Birch
creeks, thence along the benches to
the head of the Tonsona. From what
he saw of the country, looking from
the benches down into the wooded sec
tions. Mr. Peterson declares that an
ideal winter mail route could be estab
lished over a course, mostly level, and
with very few grades, comparatively
speaking.
