NEW ROUTE
Barrir lane, Min
chum ?urse Sug
gested for Mail.
Birring airplane transportation, by
which mail and passengers could be
; delivered to this section from Fair
banks or Nenana, one possible route
j that appeals to many hereabouts is
; that by wav of Lake Miocbumma.
Heie are a couple of letters, one from
W. J. Widman, of McGrath, and an
other (torn E. B Kammersgaard, of
Lake Minchumina, which give a good
deal of information cjneerning the fea
sibility of such proposed route:
McGrath, Jan. 12, 1925.
' Kusko Times,
Tokotua, Alaska:
i 1 mm enclosing a letter from Mr.
! Kammersgaard, of Lake Minchumina.
! iD which he answers ten questions that
I asked him. His replies would just
about tell what the questions were.
I have met Mr. Kammersguard, and
take him to be an honest man, of good
judgment, common sense, and capable
of doing what he undertakes to do,
without any of the fancy stuff or blow
ing about it. He is the owner of a
stern-wheel boat, equipped with a 25
borsepnwer gas engine.
I lived at Berry Landing four vears.
and I know that the water gets pretty
low on this 9ide of the portage. But
Arthur Berry always seemed to be able
to get to the portage whenever he had
occasion to go there, and last fall,
when he took his father, Archie Hig
gins and the little girl up, the water
was pretty low.
Mr. Berrv’s boat ia driven with a
propeller. He, do doubt, could do bet
ter if he had a stern-wheeler.
I think the distance from McGrath
to the portage is a little over four hun
dred miles, and I also think that the
rouod trip could be made in eleven or
twelve days, and if the mail would be
hauled this route it could be taken
clear through for about $1,000 per
round trip, that ia after the portage
was cut out and a road built.
This route would be next best to the
airplane for people waating to get out

oDearSir—Received vour letter of
December 14. and enclosed please find
answers to your ouestiods and also map
of the Lake and portage trail.)
1. Old portage trail, about 84 milps;
pretty bad trail; hits the lake in the
south we* corner, but by cutting a new
trail on a high, dry ridge would be
shorter and would come to the lake in
the northwest corner. That trail would
be about 7 or 74 miles, and from port
age landing to or cabin 0 miles. Good
gravel beds along the lake for'walking.
£^2 There are two white men living
in the southwest corner of the lake by
the portage trail; row boats there;
from there, across the lake, to my
cabin, 11 miles.
3 No other boat making trips to
the lake at the present time bur, mi e.
4. About 11 days to make the round
trip from the portage' to Neuana and
back. !
5. About 375 miles from portage to
Nenana by water.
6. You ask me how much I charge
to make the trip. About #2<K), depend
ing upon bow big the party (one naan
and his board 350), and I will be able
to go almost any time when I am at
the lake.
7. The water has never been too low
to make the trip with inv boat.
8. Freight landed at the portage
from Neuana 4 cents per pound.
9. Yes. there will be someone at my
place almost all the time.
10. What do 1 think of the feasi
bility of the mail being hauled that
route in the summer? I believe that's
the only route by which it can be land
ed in McGrath two times a mouth, if
they want it.
