creeks of Alaska and consequently a
corresponding interest in prospect
ing; while the mining industry of
Alaska is still of great importance,
with a great number of Alaskans cm
ployed in it the feeling nevertheless,
exists that if Alaska had had noth
ing to ofTer to the world but her
gold the Territory would have been
forgotten long since, and deservedly
so.
Natural Resources Abundant
Alaska's real wealth consists of
unusually abundant natural resourc
es in addition to gold; vast areas of
agricultural lands; billions of feet of
timber, suitable for the manufacture
of pulp and lumber products; a fish
ing industry in which the salmon
production alone has amounted this
year to over seven millions of cases;
a fur trade amounting to millions of
dollars annually, copper, shipments
of which from Alaska to the Stat
es have varied between ten and two
millions of dollars within the past
decade; coal, which has been used
to supply regional demands only,
but in which there is opportunity
for tremendous expansion; petroleum
which has hardly been tapped.
Unlike Puerto Rico and Hawaii,
Alaska's agricultural domains are
being neglected almost entirely.
Lands capable of yielding annual
ly thousands of bushels of grain and
1 other crops are producing at the pre
sent date hardly anything at all The
reason for this non-productivity is
a logical one; the lands lie idle and
1 for the most part uncleared, await
ing the entry of progressive and
hardy husbandmen and tillers of the
soil
, The southeastern section of Alas
ka. extremely irregular, rugged and
wooded and with altogether too
, much rain fall, is unsuited to agri
culture It is this section however,
that is rich in timber, fish and min
erals
Here’ too, are located some hun
dred salmon canneries, the combin
ed annual output of which averages
several million cases Here also are
hard rock mines (gold), chief of
which is the famous Alaska Juneau
Gold Mining Company in the city of
Juneau, the capital of Alaska,which
produces annually from a low-grade
ore approximately $10,000,000 worth
of gold, and employs some 700 men.
Here as elsewhere throughout Al
aska, is an abundance of fur and
game of all kinds .
Population Only 20.000
Yet, strange as it may seem, this
great district, which comprises near
ly one-tenth the entire area of Alas
ka, has a population of only about
20,000 souls’
Alaska has been neglected Ion;;
enough Wlvn it was given a -m
blance of Territorif 1 g< ver.imen' i
1912 congress did not intend that it
should remain a Territory forever
Congress was aware of the fact that
Alaska was rich in resources, in min
erals, fish and timber and furs, but
congress like nearly everyone else,
had blit a vague and hazy idea of
Alaska otherwise, and consequently
delegated Alaskans affairs to the sev
oral bureaus which were duly au
thorized to administer the business
and government of the Territory
Chief thorn in the side of Alaska,
and the greatest obstacle in the path
of its commercial expansion and de
velopment, is generally believed to
be the fish trap In Southeastern
Alaska the opportunities for com
mercial development through the
expansion of the fishing industry
have long been denied the people
by the owners of the fish traps and
the bureaus which have charge of
their regulation Seemingly beyond
the reach of the NRA, and in spirit
very often diametrically opposed to
it, these canneries of Southeastern
Alaska, which own and operate pra
ctically all the fish traps, are by a
cruel paradox, the bad blood that
gives life to Alaska Quite depend
ent on them for the revenue requir
ed to administer the quasi-Territor
ial government, Alaska is reluctant
to push aside these cornucopias,
which can always be relied upon to
spill largess into the Territorial
treasury
Nowhere save in Alaska and in
the State of Washington are fish
traps still tolerated; the remainder
of the civilized world has long since
abolished them -In 1893 when there
were but a few fish traps in Alaska
congress passed an Act prohibiting
their use in the Territory Men
were sent to Alaska to execute the
laws pertaining to them, but be
cause no appropriation for their en
forcement had ever been made the
act was soon forgotten
It has been repeatedly pointed out
to the great discomfort of all who
have property or political interest
in the retention of the 500-odd fish
traps in Alaska, that if these con
traptions should be abolished the
permanent population of Alaska
would be doubled, if not tripled,
within a single var after then
abolition: that new industries v add
then arise and commerce would ex
pand as surely as day follow ; night.
