PETITION TO THE Alaska Territorial Legislature.

Nome, Alaska, January 20, 1927.
 The undersigned residents of Seward Peninsula do hereby most respectfully request, and strongly urge. the Eighth Session of your tion as may be necessary and to make such appropriation as may be required, as well as to Memorialize the Congress of the United States to the end that the Alaska Road Commission may be authorized and provided wi funds to extend the Nome Shelton tramway as a public highway to Candle and Keewalik by way of the Kougarok mining dis trict and the Kugruk River coal fields.
 Your petitioners respectfully rep resent and earnestly believe, that the following statements and req sons for the urgent need of some means of highway communication between Nome and the Northern part of Seward Peninsula will upon full investigation by the Alaska Road Commission or other author ized agency, be found to most fully justify the Territorial Legislature and the Congress of the United States, in providing the funds re- quired for construction work. in

Kougarok Rivers. It will be of benefit to this industry to have over land communications between Nome and the various ranges, and the proposed highway-tramway will be available for use in shipping slau- ghtered meat in October and Novem Der of each year, which is the best season for slaughtering..
 FINALLY-The proposed high way-tramway project is essential to the further development of Seward Peninsula as it would provide con- nection with Nome as base of sup plies for miners and prospectors and it would also provide for the distribution of coal from the Kug ruk fields to interior points, and your petitioners believe that it is one of the most important highway projects that can be undertaken in Alaska. and one that will return such large and permanent results in the development of Seward Pen insula as to warrant many times the cost of construction and mainten- ance.
 Your petitioners pray that your Honorable Body give the proposed highway-tramway project your earn est and prompt consideration. and we believe that the closest examin- ation of the matter will be convinc- ing as to it's feasibility, and be found to justify the expenditure re-

River coal field contains millions of tons of a good grade of Lignite coal which when mined in reasonab- ly large quantities. can be produced at cost of not to exceed two dol lars per ton at the mine. The Un- ited States Geological reports show that the minimum thickness of the kugruk coal seam is over eighty feet. This seam will give pro- duction of at least eighty thousand tons per acre of ground. The coal seam and enclosing rocks are per petually frozen. thus no timber is required in mining, hence the low cost of production. Coal is a prime necessity for carrying on placer and lode mining operations as we'll as for domestic use. Cheap fuel. which could be furnished by the proposed highway project. would greatly stimulate mining and pros pecting on the Kougarok.
