should be continued on down into the Casadepaga, as we are expect ing considerable activity in o that vicinity in the near future. We have it on good authority that two dredges will be transported into that section this coming summer. The Ruby Divide needs consider able attention, and the road on thhis side of the divide also. In our opinion this road is very war ranted as soon as possible.
 That road be constructed by the way of the Kougarok River to the nearest and best point of the contemplated Nome-Shelton Tram way. a distance of about 30 miles.
 That the construction of road Of some type, preferably Tram. from Keewalik to Candle has be- come imperative, as the river has become so filled with silt. that 1t is practically impossible to navi- gate. This year alone. there were approximately 250 tons of supplies left at Keewalik which should have been in Candle before the freeze up. If the first part of this road were constructed next summer as far as what is known as the Second Riffle on the Keewaiik River, Ga distance of about a mile and half,, it would aid the River trafic to a large extent. Freighters could then meet the scows and assist in moving freight.
 Completion of the repair of the present Candle Road is necessary. A bridge across the mouth of Pat terson Greek is vital to operations above that point. The road should also be extended from it's present starting point back to the 'Keewa- lik River and tie on with the pro posed road to Keewalik.
 The construction of bridges across Bonanza and Eldorado Creek will enable teams to go out to Quartz Creek where promising develop ment work has been begun. This is\ on the regular mail trail and wifk be of considerable aid to tra- vel in general along this route.
 The completion of the above pro gram of road work would cut our cost of transportation to reason able figure; increasing thereby the activities of this section and en- courage the development of large bodies of known low-grade mineral deposits.
 This is the second largest com munity on Seward Peninsula and If transportation facilities were suf- ficiently improved will be develop ed into one of the leading pro- ducers for many years to come. That the road leading from Deering to Utica be rehabiliated and gravelled so that cars may be able to pass over it; also that i'm provements from Utica to the head of the Inmachuk River be made in order to facilitate some kind of transportation.
 That road be constructed from the Pilgrim Hot Springs to con- meet with the Nome-Shelton Tram, as this would not only furnish ton mage for the tram-line, but would also make it possible for Nome to be supplied with fresh vegeta bles during the summer season from the Hot Springs.
