TRAIL TO RENAL
 NOT EXPENSIVE
Surveyors Report That Road Can Be Made to Railway for
 About Sl5,OOO.

From Kenai, on Cook inlet, to the Alaska Central at mile 29 an easy trail eighty miles long can be made at an expenditure of about $l3,000
 This is the report of w. H. Reel, the Alaska Central engineer who was sent over the route by the railroad com pany at the request of the Alaska road commission to examine road possibili- ties. Mr. Reel returned to Seward Saturday night with Jerome Hatchey, who aided him in the preliminary sur vey. They started froln Kenai and came eastward to the railroad.
 The proposed trail route follows closely the Kenai river from its mouth almost to its source in Kenai lake. The lake is walled in by steep moun- tains. over which a road could be cut only at great expense. Therefore at Quartz creek the surveyors turned off northward and chose route up that stream to the divide at Moose pass, which is only 600 feet above sea level. From there the route follows Moose creek to Trail lake and reaches the railroad at mile 29.
 The entire route is an easy one for road construction, Mr. Reel says. Kenai river runs through an open val ley to Skilak lake and level route was found around the lake close to the waters edge. Beyond the lake the valley narrows almost to canyon but the bottom of this is level or nearly SO. No heavy rock work was encountered at any place on the route.
 The construction of the trail, as the territorial road commission contem- plates, will make fertile agricultural region directly tributary to Seward, the year around. A large area of fertile land lies back of Kenai and some of it is already cultivated. Min ing is now in operation along the Kenai river and its tributaries and it is believed that the region contains great deal of good hydraulic ground which can be worked with profit when made more accessible.

Allow Government to Ole

Havana, Sept 29-Members of all psrties in congress, - government, moderate and liberal, refused last night to attend the adjourned session, Shereby allowing the Cuban govern nent to die, as Palma declined to re- call his resignation.

MANY MEN TO
 STAY INSIDE
Large Number of Yentna Miners Outfitting to Spend Winter
 In District.

Many of the miners who have been operating in the Yentna district will remain there during the coming win- ter A large number of them are at the Station or Tyoonok for their out fits now. When the last installment of men for the outside left Susitna Station September 2 Churchill's stock had been sold out. It is believed that Finch will sell everything at Tyoonok and heavy draft will be made long before winter is over on the stores of Palmer and Herning at Knik. Gala gher is probably sold out now at the Kahiitna roadhouse.
 This is the news brought to Seward last week by R. c. Richardson, who with his brother, B. C.. Richardson, came in on last nights train. They came down from Susitna Station with the Cook party and the miners who were going to Seldovia iu Cooks launch.
 R. C. Richardson is the man who brought the first authentic story of the diggings on Peters creek last year, He was in Seward in the latter part oi August, 1905, and returned to the dis. trict shortly afterward, remaining until last month. He left Peters creek September 16. He confirms previous estimates which put this seasons pro, duction of the Kahiltna creeks at S5O,OOO. More than half of this is now at Seldovia or on the steamer coming to Seward.

Sunrise, Sept. 2,-COwa,ponoonce .. the Gateway Steame, Tyon.c arrive this morning with the news that Dr. Cook and party reached tine ,op O. Mt. Mckinley September l5. Fom days were required for the trip 10 t.. top and return from the foo. of rn. main slope they asccndcd. Tine tenn peraturc at the top was iG degrees be- low zero.

 Chris Hanson. Lake creek ming.. came to Seward Tuesday by way Q. the trail from Sunrise with cable mes sages from Dr. Cook to be sent ,u friends outside announcing that U, had climbed the big mountain. The. messages of course are private bu Mr. Hanson states that the ascent wa. made from the east side and that onl one man besides Dr. Cook. a packer. reached the top. Hanson states alsa that when he left the Cook party a. Tyoonok they were expecting to climb Mt. Redoubt, just above the Inlet.
 Geo. Bouckaert alSScame m Monday night. He left pr. Cook,an& his pa'.l at the mouth of the Susitna river. awaiting favorable weather to come to Seldovia. He says Cooks launch wa loaded with miners and others. The whole crowd will be in Seward on the next steamer from the west.
 Bouckaert states that Dr. Cook wen. up the Tokositna as far as he could by boat and then muShed to the foothills. There he found the slope which b. ascended. Both Bouckaert and Han son confirm the accuracy of the first account taken to Sunrise by the steam CT Tyonic and sent to the Gateway by its Sunrise correspondent, John J. Kashevnikov.

Crowd of Men Who Have Been Operating on KahiItna Creeks
 on Way to Seward.
HAVE ONLY PART OF OUTPUT
Arrivals From Producing District Confirm Earlier Estimates of
 at least S50.O00.

The next steamer from the westward will bring to Seward a majority of the miners who have been operating on the producing creeks of the upper Ka- hiltna. They will have with them probably $50, ,OOO in dust. Besides this a great deal has already been left at Susitna Station or taken outside. A small number of miners remained on the creeks when the crowd came out, expecting to stay and work just as long as possible. They will also have some gold when they come.
 This report was brought by George Bouckaert, who came in last night from Cache creek. His estimate of the output of the upper Kahiltna is that the total this year exceeds S5O,, GOO. Much of this is the small produc- tion of individual miners and the total can be figured only in a general way, but Bouckhaert makes an estimate very similar to that given by men who have come out before.
 Herndon and Jacobson are believed to have $l4,OOO, Bouckaert says, and William Morris at least half as much He thinks it probable that the amount is larger, though nobody but the men themselves knows just what they took out. Other miners will bring a few hundred each, sufficient in the crOwC that is coming to make nearly $lO,OOC

Five men in boat were stranded on an almost wholly submerged rock of the Kahiltna river by the wrecking of their boat against the rock and stood in the ice cold water for six days, una ble to sit down, before four of them were rescued. On the third day the youngest of the party, a man named Snyder, became desperate and eX- claiming to his companions, eff we've gOt tO die we might as well do it try ing to save ourselves" he took off his clothing and swam safely to shore.

COPPER STRIKE
 ON KNIK RIVER
Report of Good Find Confirmed by Detailed Statement of
 Values.

Knik, Sept. Correspondence of the GaJeway--Assays of ore from the recept copper discovery on Knik river show results as high as r per cent copper and about 8 in gold and silver. The vein Is in place with a pay streak about two feet wide. It is a well de- fined Assure vein. The discovery is about four miles from the head of Knik arm.
 No great body of ore has been ex- posed and the season is too far ad- vanced to permit extensive prospect ing in the vicinity this fall. Indica- tions so far found, however, encourage miners here to believe that good cop per deposits exist in the hills east of Knik. where this location was made.
 The discovery mentioned iu the fore going letter is that reported in Seward recently. Itwas made by Paddy Mar ion. The government geologistS now in town, Messrs. Paige and Knopf, say that the ore in the vein looks very good but nothing has been done to show it's extent.

The cable received by Mr. Stewart from President Frost is to the same effect as the foregoing. It directs that work be pushed as fast as possible on the line Co mile 55 in order to place the track terminus in Placer valley before heavy snow comes to stay. From that point level sled road can be operated to mile 67, where the hill work begins, and a very good, though somewhat hilly road is already cut to mile D. where railroad logging camp and mill are located. Another mill is on mile 73.
 With the present force of men track can be laid to mile 55 by December 1, if timber for decking the bridges can he obtained, Ike grade is practically complete except a little more tunnel work and the rock cut on mile 90. These can be finished before the end of October. The trestles and bridges can also be finished this month, except the decking, up to the truss bridge across Placer river at the south portal of the second tunnel. This bridge and the decking of the l9OO-foot tunnel on mile 54, leading down to Placer val ley, constitute the only bridge work beyond the loop on mile 5l up to mile S5
