mines to tidewater can be realized, at

barrier that stretches westward from the
141st merdian to the west side of Cook
Inlet These mountains are broken by a
number of waterways and by several
passes, all of which have been explored
by members of the survey whose reports
indicate where the most .feasible routes
may be found.
The Alaskan railways are big money.
making ventures, the government experts
say, and even the small logging roads
built in the territory have paid fine re
turns on the investment. Under the
present methods the transportation of all
supplies and food taken to theChistochina
camp cost $1 a pound in summer and 50
cents in winter.
