sKAeWAY. DOCK APPROACH
 MAY BE BUILT SOLID


 It is possible that the White Pass & Yukon win rebuild the railway ap- proach to the Skagway dock on the solid rock foundation, replacing that portion which is now supported by piliug and wood trestling The moga- tain side being steep and close at hand offers good facilities for making the cut and dll. The rock on the iaountain wall has always been more or less og a monaco and by blasting 1t down the double purpose of afford ing protection from sliding rock and from fire by making solid founda- tion. would be accomplished. Besides the rock foundation would be lasting and free from expensive upkeep
 The Cordova passing through Ju- neau the other day carried piling for tho building of tho new dock and the company evidently intends to rnsh re- pairs. A mining engineer from dU- neau visited Skagway at the solioita- ton Of the company officials and gave. estimates on different methods of mn >. ing the solid foundation for the ap- proach.
