ALASKA
NOTES
(From our Exchanges.)
John Hinton Henry, editor of the
Socialistic Press at Fairbanks, who
was recently arrested on the charge
of criminal libel, was acquitted by a
jury in the commissioner's court.
J. J. Johnson, a chute puncher, at
the Heady Bullion, was slightly injur
ed recently when a rock fell on his
foot. He was able to be back at work
in a few days.
Many inquiries are being received
at the office of Governor Strong about
the game laws and licenses for the
territory and indications point to the
vist of many hig game hunters to the
territory this summer.
In a recent bulletin issued by the
Geological Survey, Dr. Alfred H.
Brooks, head of the Alaska division,
gives the value of copper mined in
Alaska since the beginning of January
1, as $35,000,000.
Little Will Koso, aged seven, has
lost his life at Sanak and the manner
of his death is still a mystery. With
in the past two months he wanderd
away from the home of his father, a
white man, and has never since been
seen. The only explanation that can
be offered for the boys' total disap
pearance is that he might have fallen
into one of the numerous little lakes
on the island.
Fairbanks.—Acocrding to it recent
letter from an old timer of the inte
rior, who is now prospecting in the
Tolstoi district in the Innftko country.
Bool) creek obtained its name in a pe
culiar way. Hegarding this he says:
''I put up a little money to send a
man down there to do some prospect
ing. We were fortunate enough to
find a good prospect and I ain glad to
say it has indications of good pay. It
looked like a foolish venture in the
beginning, so foolish, in fact, that we
named it “Boob creek.” At this writ
ing it loks as though our venture was
anything but a boob stunt.”—News
Miner.
HE STOPPED HIS PAPER.
Whereas a wicked libel called the
New England Courant has represent
ed me as one among the Supporters
of it, I do hereby declare that although
1 paid for two or three of them, I
then sent him word that I was ex
tremely offended with it! I signified
to the Printer that 1 would have no
more of thfcir Wicked Courants! 1
that have known what New England
was from the Beginning, cannot but
be troubled to see the Degeneracy of
this Place. 1 can well remember when
the Civil Government would have
taken an effectual Course to suppress
such a Cursed Libel! which if it be
not done 1 am afraid that some Aw
ful Judgment will come upon this
Land, and, the Wrath of God will
arise, and there will be no Remedy.
I cannot but pity poor Franklin,
who though but a Young Man it may
be Speedily he must appear before
the Judgment Seat of God, and what
Answer will he give for printing
things so vile and abominable? And
I cannot but Advise the Supporters
of this Courant to consider the Con
sequences of being Partakers! n other
Men’s Sins, and no more countenance
such a Wicked Paper!—Dr. Increase
Mather of Boston, when stopping his
paper.- Ex.
FOR ALASKA HOMESTEADERS.
A circular for the use of those who
are thinking of settling' in Alaska lias
just been issued by Ihe department
of agriculture as circular No. 1 of
the Alaska experiment stations, un
der the title of "Information for Pros
pective Settlers in Alaska.” This cir
cular is designed to answer questions
as to the climate and agricultural
areas of Alaska, the best places to
locate, the ways of obtaining a farm,
ihe means and cost of transportation,
cost 4<>f living, what crops cam ho
grown, possibilities of live stock pro
duction, labor conditions, school fa
cilities, game laws, etc. The publica
tion is intended primarily for the ben
efit of homesteaders. It is stated that
the agricultural area of Alaska (main
ly in the interior valleys) is as large
as the combined areas of the states
of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachu
sets, Vermont and New Hampshire,
and it should be capable of support
ing a population nearly equal to that
supported by the agriculture products
; of those states.
The circular contains a special re
port on the agricultural possibilities
of the valley of the Mutanuska river,
through which the government rail
road is now being constructed, and
where, as a result, settlement has re
cently been rapid. The great problem
Here, as elsewhere in Alaska, is the
clearing of the generally heavily
wooded land. The soil and climate
have been found favorable to general
farming, Ihe experience of the past
few years having shown that a con
ddcrnblc variety of field crops, veg<
allies and fruits can be produced.
