Construction Will Be Under Way Within
Next 40 Days.
Seattle, March 19. — George W.
Dickenson, who for three years was
manager of the Seattle electric com
pany, returned from a three-months*
stay in Chicago last night, where he
has been financing a railroad he pro
poses to build from Valdes to the rich
copper districts on the Tanana river.
Mr. Dickenson expects the work of
construction to start within the next 40
days." Eight surveying parties were
out last summer and surveyed the
route, and did some work on the line,
at a cost of $80,000.
In an interview with the Telegram
Mr. Dickenson said:
"I was surprised to find the great
interest in Alaska and Alaskan affairs
in the East. I had no trouble at all
in disposing ol enough stock to insure
the success of the enterprise. There •
can be no question that this railroad is
needed badly, and once the work is
started we will not stop until the line
is^complete.”
Mr. Dickenson, accompanied by his
family, will leave for Valdes in about a
month.
