Simonstad, operatar of the old Cliff mine at Valdez, passed through Juneau on the Aleutian today, with plans to pump out the submerged veins of the mine and prepare for production.

Ruuthe-Wmld Highwz! l?mpflsedi Donald MacDonald Unfoldst His Plans While on =~ | Seattle Visit (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) After the Alaskan Highway — a world high way that will link every continent except Australial That is the dream eof Donald MacDPonald, a civil engineer from Fairbanks who claims a fatherly interest in the Alaskan Highway which is now nearing a reality. MacDonald, “out” for the first time in seven years, said yesterday he was laughed at nine years ago when he conceived the idea of an international highway, part of which is the present proposed Alaskan Highway. The next step, he thinks, is a highway that will make possible to travel by auto all over the world. Entirely Feasible “People will laugh at that, too,” he said. “But it’s no pipe dream. It is entirely, feasible and as nat- ural as evolution.” This is the way MacDonald thinks it can be done: “The road from . Fairbanks could be extended to Cape Prince of Wales. The distance across the Bering Sea to the east cape of Siberia is only, fifty-three miles. The water is shallow there and it could be bridged or tunnelled “E. H.
