THE DAILY VOL. XXXV., NO. 5355. JUNEAU . ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1930. FRANK EDWARDS AGREEMENTS ON PAPER PROJECT ARE COMPLETED Way Is Cleared for Signing| of Final Contract and | Power License ‘ CAMERON INTERESTS | READY TO GO AHEAD| of Construction Nears| m Paper Mill Project for Local Unit Era Agreements on the timber tracts | end waterpower to be developed i utilized by| the Cameron- handler syndicate in its pulp and| paper project have been sucess- | fully closed and the era of con- struction lies in the near future. This, in substance, is the word Lrought back to Juneau by B. F.| Heintzleman, Asst. District United | States Forester, who! returned last| night after closing the negotiations on behalf of the Forest Service| with California interests. Applications for the final water- | power license, it is expected, will| be filed next May, and this license | will be issued to the) applicant within 60 days, coincident; with the | signing of the final timber pur-| chase contracts. i Properties Are Chosen | The waterpowers to be covered in | the final license are Long Lake and | Crater Lake at Speel River, and | Dorothy Lake on Taku Inlet. The timber tracts lie on the west | and southeast shores of Admiralty | Island. It is specified they will| contain 5,000,000,000 feet board| measure. In order to insure that| this quantity will be actually avail« able; a tract on the north side of Icy Strait will be held open fori the company for a 10-year period to determine how the timber cut| rates with the estimated stands on! the Admiralty Island tracts. | Timber adjacent to towns and industrial plants was reserved from | the general sale in order to pro- vide a source of supply for such communities and establishments. Ready to Start | While the final contracts and li-| censes undoubtedly will grant the | syndicate addilional time—probaply 18 months—in which to begin con- struction, it is believed that the building program will be lnunchedi by the syndicate as soon as all of | the details are out of the way. In fact, George T. Cameron, who has handled the negotiations for him- self and his associates, told Mr. Heintzleman there would be no de- lay. And R. A. Kinzie, Consulting Engineer for the syndicate, said that tunnel construction on the power projects would be initiated as soon as the final license for de-| velopment is received. No Site Selected Mr. Cameron informed Mr. Heintzleman that no site had been selected for the paper factory site. He is still negotiating for the Al- aska Gastineau holdings but no decision has been made that would put the site at Thane should the syndicate acquire that property. A. J. Ela, in charge of the hydro- eleetric surveys for the group, will arrive in about 30 days to resume his investigations at Dorothy Lake. When that work is completed, 'he will take soundings for a submarine transmission cable across Taku Inlet from Dorothy Lake. The timber surveys are finished for the present. Next year, Mr. Heintzleman sgid, Don Cameron, the engineer in charge of the tim- ber cruising for the past two years, will begin detailed surveys of the tracts purchased. This work will precede timber cutting for manu- facturing purposes.
