world. Copper and gold exist in such
vast quantities in that range, that a
recital of its wealth would sound like
an extract from Jules Verne, or to the
cynical, as a chapter from the re
nowned 1 laron Munchausen. I have
seen specimens of quartz from that dis
trict, and from information gathered
from reliable men, together with the
reports of the Geological survey, it is
safe to say that the mineral wealth of;
the Al:i>ka range, will, in a few years,
he a source of wonder and surprise to
t he world.
Another district that is worthy of
mention is the Squentua. I p to the
present time, little has been done to
ascertain what this country will pro
duce. I- is well known, however, that
the country lying between tin* Squent
na and the Yentna is rich in placers,
and on the Squentua river, there are
outcroppings of coal that would make
a Pennsylvania coal baron green with
envy.
Our Socialistic friends inform us that
gold is of artificial value, and that un
der the Socialistic regime gold would
take its place with the baser metals.
Even if this -hould happen tomorrow,
it could not retard the development of
Seward. Coal, no matter what the
form of government may he, will al
ways be in demand, and there is sutli
c ent coal in the Seward district to
keep the harbor of Seward alive with j
shipping. Add to this the fact that
the country around Cook inlet is des
tined to be one of the richest stock
raising countries in the world, and it
will easily be seen that tiie future out
%
look for Seward is full of hope and
promise.
The residents of Seward, who will
eventually achieve success are the
on s who will sit light, hold on and
boost. \Y. E. P.
