—
Territorial Senate Urges
Congress to Del end
Coast Line
■
Alaska's memorial for military pre
paredness anti the defense ot Alaskan
ports, which has been passed by the
territorial senate and is now before
the house for consideration, points out
the need of defending the vital coast
points and adding to the land forces.
The text of the memorial is as fol
lows:
To the president of the United
States, the United States senate and
the United States house of Repre
sentatives:
Your memorialists, the senate and
house of representatives of the terri
tory of Alaska, respectfully represent
that: Whereas, the vast territory of
Alaska equal in area to all the states
of the union east of the Mississippi
river, having a coast line of 26,000
miles, a commerce with the nation
during the-last calendar year of over
150 million dollars, and possessing
coal, copper and gold mines, fisheries
and other vast resources unequaled in
the world, and,
Whereas, the coast of Alaska, with
its innumerable harbors, extending
westward nearly to the Orient is the
key to the Pacific, the loss of which
would expose tho entire Pacific coast
of the nation to the mercy of a for
eign foe, and. whereas, millions of
dollars have been expended in the
Philippine islands, in Hawaii and!
practically all United States territory
excepting Alaska, for the purpose of
defense and protection, while Alaska
has been absolutely neglected in this
respect, not having a single fortified
position or a single naval vessel, and
only a mere handful of several hun
dred men of the regular army scat
tered over its vast extent of territory*
Therefore, we, the legislature of
Alaska, speaking in the name of the
GRANT PATENT
TO FARTHEREST
NORTH CLAIM
JUNEAU.—(Special.)—Uncle Sam
has granted at patent on the farthest
north coal mine on the North Ameri-!
can continent. The official notice of
the grant of patent was received yes
terday at the office of Chief of the
Field Division C. E. Arundell here.:
The mtne is on the shore of the Arctic
ocean, at a point north of l*oint Hope
called Corwin Bluff. The mine is 160
miles north of the Arctic Circle, and
is one of the earliest developed coal
deposits in Alaska.
It was first utilized in 1849, and
later, when the whalers found profit
able the trips along the north coast
of the territory they always stopped
there for coal. The mine is accessible
from the shore, because the coal veins
outcrop on the side of the bluff. The
coal was mined extensively during the
Nome stampede in 1899 and 1900 and
taken to Nome on barges. The United
States revenue cutters Corwin and
Thetis often have coaled there.
The patent was issued on the E. L.
West coal claim to Charles McIntosh,
the present owner of the mine.
people of Alaska, deplore this shame
ful condition and, in order to secure
the great resources of Alaska to the
nation, to safeguard the great ports
of our Pacific coast, and to render
adequate protection to the republic,
we demand that congress take im
mediate action to establish a fortified
naval base on the Alaskan coast and
provide other defensive measures,
naval and military, in order that the
nation may be amply safeguarded.
