Guggenheims and J P Morgan Back Copper River Railroad
The Guggenheims and J P Morgan & Co have awarded M J Henry a contract to build the Copper River Northwest Railroad from Cordova to the Copper River upper region and on toward Tidewater. Henry had originally planned Cordova as terminus. Cattala proved impractical without a $3 million harbor. The line would follow the Copper River to Taznun and Nabusa river basins, amid rich copper deposits, with an estimated $25 million in expenditures and a smelter at Tidewater. This may be the largest Alaska contract to date. The agreement was signed two weeks ago amid New York financial turmoil.
