The first person to exhibit real faith that a railroad could be built over White Pass was a Canadian, Michael J. Heney. He made his own survey between Skagway and Lake Bennett. When the company was organized, Henry became the contractor for the road. The 27 miles of track along the lake was the last section to be completed, with the final spike being driven July 19, 1900. Henry sent this cover from Bennett while the Lake Bennett section of the road was still under construction.
