The highest cost for railroad con-
struction in the United States is
about $50. 900 mile. Forty millions
will build over 600 miles of road ,
which would penetrate a consider
able distance into the country
There are at present in Alaska some
460 miles Of railway built by private
companies sand owned by them. In
order to bring them all into harmony
the United States may buy them and
carry on business as the owner of
900 miles of railroad.
Alaska has several seaports, and
while those on the Arctic Ocean
are for a great part of the time
locked in ice, the Pacific ports are
kept open by the warm current
which flows up from the south. There
are already several steamship lines
operating to the ports of Alaska and
besides gold the country has coal.
Coal certainly comes in handy in as
cold country as Alaska.
