Anchorage, Alaska, Nov. 14.-Un-
Gle Sam is finding the railroad bust
ness good on his new Alaska line
which runs from tidewater at Sc
ward and Anchorage, across the
mountains to Fairbanks and Benana,
on the territory's interior river sys-
TEN.
Traffic has been so heavy on the
line that it has been necessary to add
more Pullman sleeping coaches and
baggage cars. At present the road
is operating thirty passenger coaches,
TIC freight cars and 236 cars of mis-
cellaneous nature, making total of
1872 cars.
With good supply Of coal at rea-
:sonable prices it will be possible to
mine large areas of frozen ground
which, it is believed, contain gold
bearing gravels. Geological survey
officials estimate there is $300,000,-
900 in gold in these gravels.
Nome, one of the distant points of
ALASKA, will benefit by getting coal
at lower, prices. At present coal is
$45 ton in Nome. By taking it
down the river and across an arm Of
the Boring sea to Nome it is thought
coal can be sold there for half the
price.
