The Alaska Northern railroad is a route

minerals that the tourist at Kern Creek, while
waiting for the tiny motor boat to take him
up dangerous Turnagain Arm. whiles away
the tedium by taking a "pan" to try some
"good-looking gravel"! I he tracks of the Al
aska Northern railroad form the only means
of communication between Seward and Kern
Creek. In summer the locomotives pull the
heavy freight ; in winter dogs pack the sleds
over the far-famed "dangerous trestles and
"terrible" grades! Beyond the terminus
there is a “Government trail" along Turn
again Arm. leading to Hope. It took our ;
horses four and one-half hours to make 1-’
miles on that trail.
The iwrfect theories of the conservationists
have practically driven the individual pros
pector into Canada, where better laws and
equal resources insure him greater success.
The day of individual placer mining has
passed, and capital is necessary for the instal
lation of hydraulic machinery. Must Cap
ital and Monopoly be synonymous in Alaska?
The Alaskans art* hanging grimly^o^^
starved and exhausted, by their finjrer-nails.
Mines are closing jrood American citizens are
leaving in distrust on account of the inertia
and j»etty jealousies of former congresses.
No lijrht-houses, no decent surveys, incom
plete charts, despicable liquor laws, no po
lice. utterly inadequate hospital service in
fact, no decent legislation to protect l»y land
or sea either white man or native has been
enacted for Alaska!
The natives are beinjr as successfully wiped
