Route to Klondike gold fields via Copper River proposal
A Washington dispatch reports engineer J. M. C. Lewks of Salem Oregon outlines a short inland route from the Copper River mouth near the Milet Glacier to reach the Klondike gold fields within about miles of the coast. The Copper River would allow navigable travel for small steamers far inland to a pass near the White River then toward the Yukon. Becker’s 1885 survey notes unworked gold deposits around the Alexander Archipelago, Sitka area, and the Kenai peninsula with potential placer mining if developed, though underexploited due to harsh conditions and limited transport.
