L. Merritt, As-| sistant Regional Forester, United States Forest Service, returned home Sunday. He looked over Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchi- kan, and inspected a new mining development trail being built by the Forest Service in the Helm Bay district. Work on the road projects and the trails over which he went is, progressing satisfactorily, Mr. Mer- | ritt said. At Helm Bay, a trail to be used | by prospectors is being constructed | from the head of the bay toward the mountainous region between there and Union Bay. Some four miles have been built and it is ex- pected three more miles will have been completed by the end of the season. Whether it wil be con- tinued to Union Bay or diverted to Vixon Inlet next season will be determined this Fall by a recon- naissance of the entire district. A second mining development trail is now under way from Kla- wock, on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island toward the Inter- lor, signed to link up with a trail al-| ready in use from the cast side | of the island up Harris Creek. Some | six miles have been built from| the Klawock end but the connection probably will not be made until next season. serve the community in every re- spect.
