REMARKABLE PROGRESS IS MADE
 ON GOVERNMENT RAILROAD, ONLY :
 25 MILES OF TRACK NOT DOWN

Remarkable progress hay been made in the construction of the Gov ernment Railroad from Seward to Fairbanks and, unless severe weatn- CT conditions should now be encouI- tered, rails will be connected by Jan uary 1 or shortly thereafter" said Governor Scott c. Bone today.
 "Only 25 miles of track are yet to be laid over the summit of the Broad Pass" he continued Work has progressed interruptedly on both the northern and southern divisions during the summer and autumn. Rails will probably be joined near Riley Creek crossing at Mile 347.
 Progress Is Rapid
 Since September 1 the gap be- tween the ends of steel has been re- duced 35 miles. The light fall of snow in the Nenana Canyon district expedited track laying and the con- tractors for grading rapidly finished their work The completion of the Hurricane Gulch steel arch bridge cn August 15 was the final piece of diff ficult construction, facilitating the closing of the gap.
 With the joining of the rails ard the building of the steel bridge a. Riley Creek the entire line will be in shape for operation. save for the Sridge over the Tanana River at Ne mana, which now awaits an app- opri- ation. Pending it's construction which will require two seasons, a ferry will be used at Nenana.
 Revenues Are Estimated
 Tn it's incompleted stage the fail- road has been in operation and it's revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30 approximated $30,000 per month. It Is estimated that in full operation these revenues will in. crease the first year to $600,000 at least, and may reach $1,000,0 900. In dustrial activities in regions con tiguous to the railroad have already stimulated and will be increased dur ing the coming year"
