DEVELOPMENT
OF TERRITORY
BROUGHT UP
Urging the secretaries of commerce
and the interior to formulate legisla
tion for the* immediate removal of tlv
hindrance to investment of capital in
the development of Alaska’s natural
resources, House Joint Memorial No.
1, by Representative Slater was in
troduced in the house and passed.
The memorial follows:
To the Secretary of Commerce and
the Secretary of the Interior:
We, your memorialists, the legisla
ture of the territory of Alaska, do
most respectfully represent; that,
Whereas, We believe that the great
dormant natural resources of Alask t

constitute the nation's greatest supply
of certain raw materials required in
many industries; and
Whereas, The at bitary laws which
now govern the development of the.-c
resources, or prevent their develop*
ment, serve only to retard the prog -
ess of this territory; and
\\ heieas, The system that governs,
the forestry of Alaska at present pro
hibits the utilization of the great
quantities of timber that abound
throughout the territory for the manti
faeture of wood pulp; and
Whereas, The Timber of this terri
tory is more desirable for the manu
facture of pulp than for any oth-*r
purpose, and capital is desirous of de
veloping this industry by means of our
unequaled water power; now, there
fore, be it
Resolved, That'it is the unanimou*
request of this the Fourth session of
the Alaska Territorial Legislature,
that the secretaries of commerce and
the interior be urged to formulate
i< gislation for the immediate removal
of the development of Alaska's natur
al resources.
And your momoralists will ever pray.

MEXICAN MINES
ARE THREATENED
MEXICO CITY, April 2:i— Fearing
that the mining crisis now threaten
ing Mexico will result in the closing < f
mines in various parts of the countr \
ami idleness for thousands of miner *,
representatives of this trade will me t
soon in Mexico City t<> consider rem*
dies for presentation to the goveri
ment. The great decrease, since t! *
ending of the war, ol the prices ob
tained for metals mined in Moxic ,
has, it is claimed, made it impossib!
for many companies in Mexico, to on
orate at a profit and there is immln
ent danger that the workings will be
closed until metal prices rise.
