The step referred to above makes it's

along the track approaching the dock for storage purposes. It is the intention of the company to place therein large quantities of the staples-four, sugar, bacon, hay, feed, lumber, etc.-which will be sold at the lowest possible prices, at the various stations along the road, to the miners and roadhouses.
 As stated before ten miles of the road is completed and in operation, starting from Dickson (Solomon) and going up along the left limit of Solomon river. The road is stand ard gauge, the only one of the kind in the northland. The roadway is we'll ballasted and substantially built, with view to permanency and solidity. From the point to which the line IS now completed, it will be continued northward through Big Hurrah up the Solo, mon valley to the right branch over its divide, dropping into and cross ing Skookum creek. Thence be. tween Gold Bottom and Horton

line will be put in, and 1o4 miles of copper wire are now on hand for that purpose.
 Of the road equipment already on hand may he mentioned freight cars, two 23-ton locomotives, 1os,- 900 ties, and over 50 miles of steel rails. An important addition to the equipment this spring will be two new Baldwin locomotives and sev- eral first-class passenger coaches for the comfort and convenience of the travelling public.
 While not in the original route as planned and outlined in the map, as herewith shown. tho manage ment of the road have under advise ment an extension of the line from Dickson (Solomon) via the beach to Nome. They have been strongly urged to do this by big shippers and business men of Nome, as traf- fic by water is so uncertain in Ber- ing sea, and much time is lost in consequence of rough water. Should the Western Alaska Con-

 The promoters of the Western Alaska Construction Go. are, there fore, to be complimented for their fore-sightedness and business sagac- ity and acumen in seizing this fine opportunity, from . business point of view, for the construction of rail- road systems on the Seward penin- sula. The roads will yield rich re- turns. The business is here for them to do, and will from the start expand and enlarge as the years go by.
 All will benefit, none will suffer loss, as a result oi the advent of the iron horse. The freighter, whom the former supplants, will now have shorter, less dangerous hauls than before, and his business will be augmented rather than diminished.

The Solomon river country leads all other districts of Seward penin- sula in tho way of gold quartz de- velopment. A stamp mill of a capacity of ten tons per day has been in full operation all winter dropping stamps and crushing ores. This plant was installed for pros- pecting purposes. During a recent visit to the mine of THE NUGGET representative, Manager Williams informed him that the property had passed from the prospect stage into mine of much value. This season more machinery will be in- stalled by the owners, Mrs. c. D. Lane and T. T. Lane. Tho claim is located on Big Hurrah.

He will simply be relieved of a long, dreary haul over an Arctic winters trail, the dangers of which none know better than himself.
 While on a tour of the Solomon river country recently, gathering data for the Spring Clean-Up" edition, a Nugget representative was very courteously received by MT. Arthur A. Wheeler, the resi- dent agent of the Western Alaska Construction Co.,, and shown through the various buildings and over the grounds of the company at Dickson (Solomon). What inn pressed the writer most favorably was the air of stability and perma- nenCy which characterized all of the work thus far done. Take, for instance, the buildings. The resi- dence building for officials of the company is a large, substantial two and a half story structure, with twelve rooms and a large attic. The walls are double boarded on the outside, with layer of heavy building paper between them. The inside is built i'll like manner, with four-inch air space between the outer and inner walls. This makes

will be. that ere few short years have passed hydraulic mining will be in vogue from the northern
 borders of the peninsula to its south ern confines, and from the eastern to the western extremity. Ana to bring about this desired result cheap, quick and reliable transpor- tation facilities are absolutely neces- sary. The necessarily slow, uncer- tain and expensive way of hauling large amounts of supplies, machin- cry, etc, by horse and dog teams,
 will not suffice in the future. We have outgrown this method of travel and freightins. We must move more quickly. Our opera tions will be on larger scale than formerly, and will continually grow. Quartz mines will be opened up tin properties will be developed ; graphite deposits will be worked ; alluvial deposits of gold will be hydraulicked. All of these opera tions will require machinery of var ious kinds and of large amounts, and tons upon tons of supplies for the army of operators. The time is propitious for railroads to tap these various sections, making them

the building warm and comfortable, so that the dwellers therein may withstand the most rigorous winter weather without discomfort. The house is nicely furnished and finish ed, and has every necessary adjunct of we'll regulated and well ap- pointed household.
 A corridor leads from the resi- dsnce to the machine shop, which latter is also a well made, two-story building. While the writer was there the carpenters were at work putting the finishing touches on the interior, while painters were busily engaged in scraping and re-paint- ing the railway locomotives, pre-. paratory for spring work. The machine shop itself is fitted with every essential tool, machine and fixture necessary to a fully equipped, up-to-date shop.
 The office building is 36x4o feet and two and half stories high. The main office is 2ox48 feet, and in the rear are private offices for

 Stations will be had along this route, one being at Big Hurrah, another at Skookum creek and one at Monte Carlo creek.
 In order to bring the Council City and Solomon River railroad to as speedy competition as possible, the company will start work this season from both ends of the line i. e., from where the road is now completed and from the Council City end. Thus a large force oi men will be worked to advantage, and through connection insured in a comparatively short time.
 Along the route chosen the grade is remarkably easy, the greatest grade necessary being only nine tenths of one per cent. No bridges are necessary, the streams being small and easily crossed with tim. Der trestles.

 The personnel of the officials and directorate is such as to attest a high financial standing for the Western Alaska Construction Co.,, composed, as it is, of capitalists and business men of national reputation. The company's business transac- tions here have been characterized by strict integrity, and they have expended over $500, ,ooo already in starting this big enterprise, much of which has gone through the chan nels of local circulation, such as for labor, supplies, etc.
 Edward A. Olds, of New York City, is president of the Western Alaska Construction Co.
 J. Warren Dickson is the vice. president and general manager, and it is upon his shoulders that the great responsibility rests. He has shown himself worthy of the conf dence reposed in him by his asso- ciates. He is diligent, persevering, enthusiastic and capable, qualities which especially fit him for the great work he has assumed, of giv- ing Seward peninsula fine railroad transportation facilities, and open- ing up to the world for the benefit of mankind a country which the God of nature has so bountifully endowed with the golden treasure. We bespeak for the company full fruition of their plans and hopes. MT. Dickson has surrounded him. self with corps of assistants fully qualified for the positions they oc- cupy. Mir. Arthur A. Wheeler is the resident agent and has had charge of the company's affairs at this end of the line during the past winter.
 Dr. c. F. Smith, of New York is secretary of the company.
 Geo. H. Dickson, jr., is in charge of the purchasing department; w. H. Roberts is auditor and E. A. Olds, jr., is assistant treasurer. H. R. Sankey and Charles Tice are with the commissary.

 Fresh water is pumped from Sol omon river to a 10, 900 gallon tank raised about thirty feet in air, to give the necessary pressure. This supplies all the water needed for the locomotives and various build ings.
 In the yard are rails, ties. etc., sufficient for the construction of over fifty miles of roadway, so that when the snow leaves work will be resumed and pushed with great vigor and expedition, without hay ing to wait for outside supplies.
 At the mouth of Solomon river a large dock is completed, and a der rick outfit capable of taking any thing up to thirty tons in a single piece, is on the ground and will be erected at once. This spring large warehouses will be construct
