Yukon Route Proposed by Alexander Begg to Fort Selkirk
Alexander Begg urges the government to extend a Canadian route from the Pacific coast into the Yukon. The plan uses the Siskeen river for 130 miles, then a 10 mile railway across Cassiar district to Teslin Lake, linking with Yukon, Pelly and Lewis rivers at Fort Selkirk. This would avoid the undefined Alaska boundary and a dangerous route via the US coast. The report also notes reduced rail rates in Chicago for a prize fight.
