EVIDENCE OF INTEREST
The number of high officials of the
different departments of the govern
ment who have visited Alaska this
year testifies to the deep interest peo
ple are taking in this Territory, and
the existence of a disposition to aid
in its development During the sum
mer that has jnat passed we have
been visited by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, Secretary of the Interior Pay
ne, Lieut-Gen. Liggett of the army,
Admiral Rodman of the navy, Col.
Greeley, head of the forestry bureau,
and others. Gen. Richardson and Dr.
Brooks, old friends whose counsels are
again being drawn upon, have also
been with us.
That the inaction from these visits
will be reflected in the work of Con
gress and in action by the Executive
departments of the government next
winter there can be no doubt.
Among the plans that are being
considered by these visitors are the
Alaska Development Board, provided
for in the I»ane-Curry bill, a million
dollar a year for roads, transportation
impiovement the extension of the gov
ernment Aid to Roads Law to Alaska,
the development of pulp, coal, water
power and other resources, and other
things all of which will count immen
sely ia the development of the North-,
land.— Ex.

ment, in the opinion of Dr. J. 0. Dyei,
a local writer on historical and scien
tific subjects. The rush of treasure
seekers began with {he discovery re
cently of 25 skeletons, popularly be
lieved by many to be those of mem
bers of the crew of a Spanish treasure
ship which foundered off the Texas
coast early in the Eighteenth century.
No record is available of any such
wreck.
The life of a skeleton buried in tlfe
sands of the beaches of the coastal
country, Dr. Dyer points out, is not
over 40 years.

Mexico to Spain were discontinued af-'
ter 1820, partly because of the activ
ities of Jean Laffite’s fleet of bucca
neers.
Even before that time the Spaniards
tried to avoid excessive losses from
storms and Laffites’ fleet of bucca
neering vessels and 50 Spaniards
transported less than 20 tons of sil
ver bullion to the vessel . Then, the
current rate in Mexico was approxi
mately $10 a troy pound. The most
valuable of all Laffite’s prises, the
Sevilla, carried only $150,000 iu specie.
Laffite’s captured treasure, accord
ing to the records extent, was buried
in three caches. Two of these were lo
cated on Galveston sland and the 3rd,
on a small island to the east, which
was completely washed away during a
storm in 1829\
There have"T>een many reports of
the discovery on this coast of caches
of coin or chests from trading ships
containing from $3,000 to $15,000.
