The- Future of Alaska.
M;\ Hanrv J. Powers, a mining
engineer, wno. is employed to ad
w upon tlio mining investments
af heavy capitalists in Chicago, and
tJiaus- conservative from the very
nature of his employment, made
the prediction in Seattle that with
iti fifty years there would'ho a mil
lion men mining in Alaska. This
prediction is made after Mr. Pow
ers has spout several years in in
vestigating the known mineral re
sources of the great northern terri
tory, and from what is in sight has
boon aide to realize something <>f
the possibilities which yet lie in
the future.
Mn Rowers- recognizes- that this
statement may seem extravagant
to tliose who know nothing of the
great treasure house of the north,
but ho himself considers it con
servative..
is- this to found it upon:
Fhere is certainly room for the em
ployment of a million men,, profit
ably. in developing the the miner
al resourees-of Alaska and iu bring
ing out its-its- treasures.to a world
vhich awaits them. Where profit
able employment can be found for
A million men. there a million
men, will, certainly l»e found, soon
or. late. How long it will take is a
matter of mere surmise. It may
bain fifty years,, or it may he in
’es*;.t:ai3.
Uoitain it is that Alaska.is- des
fiued.-to have a population, within
a.time which many nuw living will
see. which, will rank it among the
great states-of the Union; and the
jJasic industry will be miuiug.-P. I.
J. I*. Andrews, representing
Alaska, will attend the meeting of
Mo customs- appraisers of the
'initial Status, to he held, n New
Aork in December^ TShis-i* a rep
resentative hotly callotl together!
mcJi year hy„ and at the expense'
af..the government, and,this is the
first occasion on which Alaska has-|
dean granted a representation.
Hha output of gold from all the |
.Alaska mining districts this season,
amounts to 19.000,000. This in
aludes the mines of the Klondike,
where the cleanup is not yet com
pleted,. the creeks holding out bet
ter than at Nome and at other
points along the coast.
Thu Koyukuk district will con
tribute f 250,000-or &500.000 of gold
diis season toward Alaska’s total,
treasure yield oi 1904.
Advertising wont grow hair on
3 bald head, but.it has sold many a
medical preparation that wuuld’nt
do it either.
Ring up Phone 1. and Bourke
will call on. you as a living exam
ple of the truth of this- statement.
.Incidentally he will take copy for
an ad. if you. have anything to
sell..
The department of the Colum
ilia has recently decided to discard
all their old pack mules and here
after. will use only hones. This is
4ti least one instance of where the
