DEVELOPMENT OF BRADF|ELD SITE
 IS PROGRESSING
Early Start on Paper Plant by Guggenheim Interests
 Believed Likely.

Indications are promising for sub stantial developments by the Gug- genheim interests in the Bradfield Canal region in connection with the pulp and paper industry, according to reports received at KetchihdC, said B. F. Heintzelman, district log ging engineer for the Forest Service, who arrived here this week on the Northwestern after a few WenNs spert at the First City. While there has been no official word received of nt plans of the GuggenLeims, the reports heard are from reliable sources.
 Finish Reconnaissance
 A party of engineers maue c com p.etr reconnaissance of the Ii jtrict ia which the Guggenheims are in, r. este,. working from the edrly sum mer until about the middle of No yerrcr. said Mir. Heintzelman. This work was confined to gath ring data relative to the water power resources capa ble of being developei from sites for which preliminarJ permits have been asked and genc'l :nfCr- mdtIon on the region. II $ under stoCd that a new crew of engineers will be sent to the canal IS soon as operations are possible for the pur- pose of making the location survey for the transmission line from Tyee Lakc. near the head of the canal to H1mpback Bay. at the mouth. At tte latter point the power plant will he located It was reported several weeks ago that an additional appli- eaton would be made by the tCr- por. ton for a preliminary permit to develop added power on White River.
 Seeking Timber Supply
 The company is seeking to secure a contract for a supp'Y of timLeT srfflt tent to insure a mi"44S suppl for : period of 30 years There is rlen of very fine timber in the ris- tr ,.N, said MT. HeintZrlman, and respect Until the mil; capacity is defn tely known, 1t will be impOa sib,a to say just what area will le cntIed in the contract. The Forest Sery.ce, however, inmates that t vii. require some 75,o91 acres and will cruise out such oloc6 ear" next summer. Funds. Sai1 MT Hein.zelman, are already available for this work This would give the Brt dfield Canal people about the same amount of timber that is GOV e-eu in the unit covered b. the con tract being negotiated for by t'e Alaska Gastineau Company on Ad- miralty Island.
 Gastineau Has Big Opportunity
 The opportunity for developing very fine paying property in paper mill at Thane is very promising for the Gastineau interests, according to Mir Heintzelman, who said that 1t was regarded as one proposition which should be successful. The To- cation and facilities are ideal and with the water power already de- veloped it makes it very attractive.
 Other Developments
 Among recent developments in All aska national forests in connection with probable pulp and paper under takngs. was the issuance of tenn porary water power permit to George C. Hazelet, of Cordova, for site at Galena Bay on Prince William Sound. Here it is proposed to develop power from Silver Lake. The plans call for the development of 1000 horse power.
 Applications for temporary permits on Karta River, Speel River, Sweet heart Falls, Warm Springs Bay, Gas cade Bay and Green Bay. which were made last fall by Frank c. Daughter ty of San Francisco, have all been withdrawn by him, said MT. Heintzel' man MT. Daugherty has filed an application for temporary permit on site at Tonfass Bay covering water power development on Cas- cade Creek. This site is about b miles north of Petersburg and is re- garded as one of the most favorable in Southeastern Alaska.
