PUBLISHED EVE^Y WEDNESDAY 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.
