Telegraph Line to Klondike Would Link Gold Fields
An old 900 mile northwest telegraph line built thirty five years ago may be revived to connect the Klondike gold fields with civilization. Planned to extend from New York to St Petersburg via Seattle Alaska and the Bering Sea the project was never used and 11000000 spent on overland surveying lost. Poles remain standing and portions of wire are serviceable as prospectors seek wealth.
