Railways in Alaska

The full industrial development of inland Alaska is possible only by con. structing railways that will furnish transportation to open ports on the Pa cific. Though Alaskans have long been clamoring for adequate transportation facilities, the general public outside of the territory has only recently begun to understand that the opening of the mineral wealth and arabic lands of this great empire is matter of national i'm portance.
 Many plans have been proposed for building railways in Alaska either by public or by private enterprise, and various measures are now before con- gress dealing with the subject.
 In view of this situation report just issued by the United States geological survey entitled "RaiIway Routes in Alaska" by Alfred H. Brooks'( Bulletin 520.A), is of much interest This report briefly summarizes all the data bearing on the location of railway which shall connect Fairbanks, on the Tanana, with one of several coast terminals on the Pacific seaboard. The distance to tide water by the several routes varies from $50 to GOO miles. Experienced engi- neers have estimated the average cost per mile of constructing this line at s4O,O00.
 Any one of the several proposed rail ways described in this report would render accessible the great resources of what has been termed central Alaska, a quadrangle area of about 100000 square miles extending from the Pacific sea- board to the Arctic circle. Central Alaska has produced from it's placers gold to the value of S75,00O,0O0, it's out put in 1911 being over S9,000,000. It in. cludes also several auriferous lode dis. tricts and two important copper belts. One of these copper belts has been ren- dered accessible by railway some 200 miles long extending inland from Cor dova. Central Alaska also includes the high. grade coals of the Boring river and Matanuska fields, as we'll as very eX. tensive deposits of lignitic coal. In ad- dition to it's mineral wealth, which will justify railways, central Alaska con- tains much valuable agricultural and grazing land.
 This publication not only summar' izes data on topography and mineral resources, but also touches on climatic conditions, distribution of population and arable lands, etc. It is illustrated by uew map showing the distribution of mineral resources of Alaska. A list of government publications relating to railway routes in Alaska is appended. Mining Science.
