SHORTAGE OF FUNDS
 HALTs UNUK ROAD

While the Forest Service of AL aska recognize the desirability of constructing a trail up the Unuk River valley, the Regional For ester realizes that the shortage of trail funds will not permit of this improvement in the imme- diate future. The major part of the trial funds allotted to South eastern Alaska are being expended upon short and urgent projects, which are particularly important for mineral development.
 c. H. Flory, commissioner, says that in the Ketchikan region these projects provide a trail from Helm Bay to Union Bay across the Cleveland Peninsula, leading through region known to be mineralized, and also a trail across Prince of Wales Island, leading past the high mountain mass east of Klawak Lake and Lagoon, which is also known to be mineralized.
