road traverses the Copper river
 flats in a general northerly di-
 rectiOn. This is the flood plain
 of the Copper river delta, which
 stretches in a broad gravel and silt floor ranging in width from 10 miles at it's southern to ,
 miles at it's northern end and ex- tending about as far north as
 Childs glacier. The lower por-
 ton of the Copper river flats is
 subject to flooding from two
 causes, namely, the failure of gla- .cial reservoirs and the heavy
 rains as to the depth attained by
 such overtlows, beyond the report
 of railroad employees that in one
 instance at least the water has
 risen to within a few feet of the coping of the Miles glacier bridge
 piers, indicating volum" of wa
 ter which if confined to one rhali-
 nrl might cause serious damage tp tilt ltd'lI'''i Ill iHt I'"fl p'i of the flats. Light uverfuwS have
 been known to cause trouble in these bottoms by freezing and the consequent piling of ice on tn" track embankmenl. This has om-
 ly occurred between miles 3i and 80. and ru'.Id in all probability D" entirely avoided by track clrva- tinn. When the Commission made it's inspection of the Copper River Railroad it had just been reuprn- ed to traffic after a suspension of operation of over six weeks, owing to earth slides and wash outs resulting from the rXrrS- sivc rains of this season. A num- ber of treStle washOuts were not ed. At Flag Point Bridge (mile 27 I-2l over 300 feet of approach had just been renewed: i: Is not known, however. whether this washout was due to glacial floods or rains. From miles 35 to 39 from one to three bcnts at the ends of 80 per cent of all the treStlcS have been recently renew ed. This trouble was due to the washing out of the gravel ap- pr0ach fills.
 The crossing of the Copper riv- or flats involved the construction of number of expensive bridges. At mile 27 is a crossing known as Flag Point Bridge, consisting of one 3OO- foot. one 250-foot. and four l75-foot spans; at mile 28 is bridge consisting of one 300- foot and one 26O-foot span. Hot Cake Bridge (mile 34l consists of three t15-foot spans, and Miles Glacier Bridge (mile i9l of one 45O-foot, two i00- foot, and one 30O-foot span. All of these bridges were designed for the heaviest traffic, and were in first-class condition when in- spected by the Commission. The of the Miles glacier bridge is concrete piers carried down to boVlder foundation with caissOnS. The sub of other bridges are of on pile foundation. The work is apparently in good condition. though the ice guards show the effect of abra- sion.
 The Copper river flats are sub ject to high winds. These winds sweep down from Abercrombie
Valdez daily prospector., 1913-03-14

have been known to reach a ve-
 iooity of 30 miles an hour. The
 effect of such winds Is to increase the expense both of operation and maintenance.
 At Miles glacier bridge the line as located lies between the Childs glacier on the west and Miles gla- C 'nr on the east. Both constitute a menace to continuous opera ton. The northerIy lobe of ChiIds glacier is now not over 1,- 50> feet from the track at the north end of the bridge, and it Is reported that this glacier has been known to advance as much as 1,- 600 feet in a single season. The railroad at this point, however, is not in line with the movement of the center of the glacier. and could only be affected by an un- usuar advance of the north lobe. IL is entirely possible that this finger of ice may some time ad- vance at such a rate as to en- danger the Miles glacier bridge, but it is believed that this is a rather remote menace. and should not bG considered as imminent. If such condition should ever occur. it is at least possible that he line could be so shifted as to avoid the ice from either the ChildS glacier or from he south west murainr of Miles glacier. the face of which is less than , miles distant.
 Miles glacier is liable to inter- nal breaks during the melting sea- son, suddenly freeing enormous volumes of water impounded as lakes in or near it's mass. When this flood is first freed it inun- dates the entire river bottom in it's vicinity, and has been known to leave a high-water mark on piers of Miles glacier bridge 22 feet above normal water stage.
 From mile 70 to 56, the line fol- lows the west side hill through Abercrombie canyon to Baird gla- cier. Baird glacier has been re- gently named Allen glacier.) Con- struction here involved heavy rock work in the sides of the cliffs, heavy SnOWshed work and a tor tuous alignment. The maximum curvature of the road is on this part of the line, there being one 22 degrees, one 20 degrees, and one i8 degree curve, with central angles of 3i degrees, 6i degrees and fl degrees. respectively, in a single mile. There are also in this stretch six snowsheds, about 83 per cent of the total of i,097 feet on the entire line. There are frequent and expensive earth and loose rock slides. The slides, however, should not be consider cd as a permanent maintenance expense inaSmuch as the slopes will undoubtedly come to rest in time, and thus. to a great extent. eliminate the trouble.
 Between miles 56 and 63 the line curves around the foot of Baird glacier and crosses it on the toe of the dead muraine. The mOraine is over ancient ice. and
 is said lu have shown no move menl within recent years, but the glacier proper, some distance to the westward of the line, is un-

Leaving Curdova, the main line as constructed runs in an east crly direction for 2G miles before turning north with the Copper river. During the first five miles it is supported on hill side, and construction involved a small amount of rock and gravel work. The greater part of this miles is along the south edge of Eyak lake. At about miles out from Cordova the line enters the Sher- idan glacier flats. which it cross es in a distance of approximately 15 miles. This stretch contains a tangent of if miles, was eX- ccedingly simple, and easy of con- struction. The Sheridan glacier flats are almost level, and there fore do not invite OVerflOWS. As far as mile i9 the flats are or dinariIy beyond inc reach of tides. East of mile 20 the line enters he tidal haiS. The bottom in general is glacial nVerWaSh gravel. and the track is laid on a gravel fill tu , feet above sur face of the ground. There are about 10 hentS of trestle to the mile nn this stretch, but the com mission was informed that it is the ultimate plan ln fill a large proportion of these >Irlrt urrS. On certain paris of In" line inc rnadbed has never been brought up lo the located grade. This makes Inc road ride a lit Ir rough ly at present. but h" quantity of such work remaining ln be done is not large.
 From mile i9 tu 9 the line hugs the foothills of the nOlIn- tains lying to the Snuth of Sherl- dan glacier before making it's turn into inc Copper river flats. This stretch is not expensive and il is possible that the alignment could be somewhat improved.
 From mile 23 to i9 the rail-
