Some inventor hitherto unknown, has submitted to the I
government a fuelless ship, which he claims vv ill cat t \ cat -

blatt recently, included a number of letters from a l nited
States senator from a western State. The contents of thei

cerning the identity of the Senator. 1
As economical as the women may be, judging troni|
the present styles seen in the fashion books in Seward,

ALASKA’S RESOURCES j
Gold placers and lodes are to be found throughout all
sections of Alaska.
Copper production in exceeded that of any other
Alaska industry. This mineral is to he found in large and
profitable deposits in many of the Northern regions.
Tin, both in lode and placer deposits, is being profit
ably mined. Alaska has the only tin mines on the contin
ent.
Antimony is found in widely separated regions of the
North.
Iron in large deposits and of good grade has been dis
covered in numerous localities, assuring an important in
dustry.
%
Tungsten, lead, graphite, cinnabar, platinum, nickel,
cobalt, bismuth and molybdenum have been discovered and
are being developed.
Marble which rivals that of Vermont, both in quan
tity and quality, is being extensively quarried in the Prince
of Wales Island region and furnishes interior decoration
for office buildings in many of our Western cities.
Gypsum and Barytes deposits are being mined.
Coal deposits, ranging in grade from lignite to anthra
cite, are of greater area than were originally contained
in the State of Pennsylvania, and we know geologically
only about 40 per cent of Alaska.
Mineral oil is being produced and refined from the
one claim patented. Nc further development of this in

dustry is now possible, as all oil-bearing lands are lesen
ed from entry. Discoveries of mineral oil have been re
ported in widely-separated areas.
Fishing is one of Alaska's grandest industries. The
continental shelf extending olf the south coast of Alaska
and the Aleutian Islands furnishes fishing banks that ex
C6(?d in cir6ti those of sny other counti \.
Reindeer in Alaska now number in excess of 80,000
and promise to be an important source of national food
supply.
Agriculture in Alaska is today a practical realitj and
is each year showing larger gains. Probably a thousand
families are today securing part or all of their income
from agricultural pursuits. It is estimated that Alaska
contains 100,000 square miles of arable lands.
Timber. The spruce forests of Southeastern and of
Southern Alaska will furnish the supply for a large paper
pulp industry.
Water power is available in such a quantity as to as
sure for the Northland a great industrial development.
Scenery, unsurpassed by any country in the world, as
sures a future tourist travel of vast proportions.
Such is Alaska—a frontier land of vast resources, of
great potential wealth—our largest and richest Territory
—our last “Big Out of Doors."—(Seattle Star.)
