railroad from the sea 200 mile. Inland
to tap It. Yet there is every possiou-
ity that doaens of other properties sun
unknown may equal that one or two.
The Chltlna region had never been en
tered except by a few miners, en
gineers and Indians, so that when the
railroad, now 100 miles inland, reaches
the mouth of the Chltina river, thlrty
flve miles farther, next summer, prac-(ir-aily
an entirely new country, the
future activity of which is assured be
forehand, will be opened up. At pres
ent In cress Is nosslbla only by long
trail trips over a very rough country, a
condition that will be. ennngeq aimosi
lu a flash within a few months. The
result to those who know what pioneer
conditions are is apparent.
Another new mining field that gives
great promise of attracting large num
bers of pioneers next summer la that
north of Seward, on Kenal peninsula.
This ia old placer country, in which
some of the mother lode, have recent
ly been discovered and are proving
very rich. This country la still very
.iimMiir nf access beyond Cook Inlet,
as there are not even government
trails, but a railroad w on lta way in
land to the Matanuska coal fields, and
the Alaska road commission has prom
ised next summer to build a trail
northward in this valley and across
the mountains to the headwaters of
the Kuskoquim on the way to the
Idltarod diggings. This will give a
great impetus to both quartz and
placer mining along the line and will
allow the development of several
niinrt nronositions.
The railroad out of Seward already
crosses the peninsula seventy miles
and with new government trails has
this last year made available much
gold quartz country of great promise.
On the whole, the most conservative
Investigator must admit that Alaska's
greatest mining days are of the future
and that the mineral wealth produc
tion will be in the .teady ascendant
from now onward.
