THE spirit of service which exists in the
operation of The Alaska Railroad, has
made our patrons our friends, and the safe
guarding and transportation of their ship
ments to stations on aur line, to their entire
satisfaction is our ambition.
During the month of May the season of
river navigation will augment our rail serv
ice, and freight and passenger travel will
receive the benefit of our experience.
Trains will connect with all sailings on
the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
Timetables, descriptive literature, etc.,
will be gladly furnished on request.

“Your country is a wonderful
one—full of romance and beau-*,
your business men and their business
methods seem fairly to reek with
progressive spirit, yet there is one
thing I cannot understand. Why is
it that Alaska still remains geograph
ical puzzle, a mystery unsolved, to
those of the outside world?” This
briefly, summarized the impression
gained the past two weeks by one
of the many influential business men
| of the east, touring the Territory for
the first time.

\ j The H. D. Whiton, a steamship
■ nearly as large as the Alaska, and
operated and owned by the L nion
Sulphur Company of New York City,
ihas arrived in Ketchikan. On board
, is the president of the company, four
directors and 12 geologists. The boat
arrived at Kasaan bay from San Ped
ro and it is understood the mission
I
!of the officials of the company in
j Alaska is to investigate pyrites of
iron for sulphides to be used in pa
|per and pulp making. The New York
! concern now carries sulphides from
j Pexas to San Francisco, and it is un
- ulerstood that if the investigations
prove that the product can be pro
duced from Alaska mineral in com
I petition with that of Texas, the com
fpany will extend its operations to
Alaska. It is said that 85 per cent
; of wood pulp is treated by the sul
phide process and therefore the min
jeral from which it i3 extracted will
enter largely into the cost of paper
! making in Alaska.
