The citizens of Jtineau have been try- j
iug to get the Road Commission to
build a road from that city to Sheep
Creek. Nothing has been said or done
on this ?ide of the chanuel to interfere
with the project. Xor do we want the
good people of Juneau to think that we
have now any desire to throw cold
water on the scheme. There are, per
haps, good reasous for the building of ;
this road, and the benefit to Juneau
aud to the persons haviug claims at
Sheep Creek would be very great, flow
ever, we have doubts as to whether the
goverumout will ever build such a road,
and, also, we believe that the same ef
fort expended in auother direction
would ? and may yet ? produce results
of far greater importance to Juneau
and the major portion of the- prospect
ors of this section than would the
building of a dozen roads to Sheep
Creek. Furthermore, we believe that
proper effort will bring results quicker
aud more surely for the proposition we
have iu mind because of its greater im
portance.
Every evidence indicates that the
territory between Juneau and Berners
bay is the richest in mineral of any so
far discovered in Southeastern Alaska.
Keceut discoveries have emphasized its
importance. The places of importance
may now be reached in two ways. First
by a trip in a small boat across the bar
that puts out from the foot of Menden
h3ll glacier, opposite the upper eud of ,
Douglas islaud, or the long trip around
the lower eud of Douglas islaud. To
cross the bar is not always possible
even for the smallest of the power
boats and if the trip around the Island
is made in a small boat there is often a
serious element of danger from the
storms that sometimes rage on Lynn
Canal. A trail leading to this section
would therefore be a great convenience,
and what is more, it would open to the
prospector a vast stretch of territory
that has now only been passed over
hastily at the most.
A trail could be built from Juneau to
the mill ou Eagle river inside of a dis
tance of 24 miles, perhaps less. There
are no great obstacles in the way, in
fact a part of the distance is already
traversed by a fair wagou road. There
are a few bridges to be built across small
streams, but after Mendenhall glacier
is passed a low divided If ers a splendid
opening.
The enthusiasm for the proposed
Sheep Creek road i3 necessarily cou
flned to a few, but even a trail up the
coast would enlist the sympathy and
vigorous supportj of every man who is
interested in the section mentioned or
in the business welfare of the Capital
City.
On? of the editors of the Transcript
came over to Douglas last week and got
on quite a tear. We are informed, and
the information comes from a reliable
source, that he spent ten cents for a
magazine while on this side of the
channel.
~ The people of Southeastern Alaska
are not altogether unlucky. If any
other boat than the Humboldt had
gone to tne bad it would have inter
fered with the mail business.
