ore leaving Seattle Judge Bunnell was interviewed by a
aporter representing one of the hig Seattle newspapers.
Ie said: "It is almost impossible for a person having first
and knowledge and knowing existing conditions in Alas*
a to penetrate the eordon of lobbyists who are hanging
ound the different committees who have the future wel
are of Alaska in their hands. All of the cannery represen*
fives with whom I came in contact wtfa seemed anxious
> do everything possible to help toward the development
? the Territory but were badly handicapped and hindered
7 the small groups of lobbyists who are misrepresenting
• :al conditions to further their own selfish ends.” He said
rat the Alaska R- R. when completed will be a big factor
war'd developing the territory in the interior of Alaska.
lnere will be the greatest boom the Yukon country has
ver experienced since gold was struck and the Klondike
iush was on. The time saved in reaching interior points
will lengthen the season for operations at least thirty six
days, the lower freight rates will enable merchants to keep
“■heir stocks up and offer them at lower prices. The low
•rices and the lengthened season for operating will permit
he working nf low grade diggings. The tourist travel will
? a great help when all the routes to Fairbanks are com
pleted.” Judge Bunnell will try and reach Fairbanks by
I ebruary 20 so as to be on hand for the next regular term

PROSPECTS IN
BROAD PASS
According'to Jack Cronin,
who knows Alaska as well as
any man in it, and who re
turned to Mile 275 yesterday
fter his first visit to An
chorage in about three years
Broad Pass will prove a hire
to the prospector nerft sum
mer and is destined to pro
duce some good finds.
Jack says the country is
unknown, save to hunters,
and that whore mineral has
been foun^ it gives promise
of occurring in paying cp’on
tities, both in free milling
rock and base pres. There
are many creeks on which a
pick -h»s never been put, and
possiblities for rich placers
are promising.

for the most part is base, but
some of it is similar to the
Golden Zone.
“The approach of the rail-.
road is rapidly opening the
country to the prospector,”
said Jack, “and it will be one
of the most convenient parts
if the territory to reach.”
' It is known that large cop
per deposits lie along the
