Means of Transportation.
tn development IL this district viii be
materially aided by the construction Of
the state trail over the Twisp pass, down
Bridge creek. up the Stehekin and over
the Cascade pass. 70 connect the county
road system OF Eastern and Western
Washington. This trail will undoubtedly
be widened 10 wagon road IN a year or
two. and the miners will then have an
outlet In either dsrection--east and south
20 Lake Chelan. and by that route and tho
Columbia river to connection with the
Great Northern AZ Wenatchee: on the west
over the Cascade pass and down the
sksgit river to Hamilton on the Seattle
a. Northern railroad. There is enough
mineral wealth in the district 20 warrant
the construction of a short railroad from
Horse shoe basin 20 stehekin. at the head
ot the lake, with another lire from the
foot OF the lake 10 Chelsn Falls. when
