Mrs. Kd C Heacoclt is register
ed at the Golden North hotel await
ing the sailing of the Jefferson,
which is to take her to SanPiego
for the winter. Mrs. Heacock has
nindf her home in Fairbanks for the
past eight yearn where Mr. Ilea rook
has a number of mining claims on
T rr-asu re creek. She lived in Skag
Way for two years during 1899-1900
and is enjoying her stay here re
newing old acquaintances.
The ladv informs the Dally Alas-j
tean that mining conditions of the
interior are not up to the standard
of a few yearn ago. but that thei
country is gaining in agriculture !
Fairbanks is now raising practically
all the vegetables that they use for
home consumption. Potatoes and
garden stuff grows abundantly and:
the wild berries ouldo any country.
In Ihe world for productiveness
Many people who were formerly de-!
l>ond??nt on mining for a livelihood,
are now raising gardens and poultry1
and picking berries. The blueber
ries now being picked are placed In
Ihe cool mining shafts where they!
keep until the frosts come when
they are frosen and thus furnish!
fresh berHes all winter. The res-]
taurants and hotels give contracts
to the idle men about town for sup-!
plying large quantities of currants,1
cranberries and raspberries, the pick
era often making from ?\x to twelve
dollars a day. Nothing of that char
hcter n?wls to be shipped Into the
district uny more.
She also says that people are
gradually becoming accustomed to
making permanent homes in the In
terior. Better houses are being
built, stock and poultry is being
raised In large quantities. Wheat
and' oats grow abundantly and they
hare discovered that the hardy var
ieties rfp'en as well there as In Can
ada and Minnesota She believes
the future of the Tanana and the
Yukon valleys will represent homes
and ranches that will be unsurpass
ed anywhere. When the people of
the north once get out of the "get
rich quick Idea," and devote their
time to ranching, they will have
solved the problem of prosperity
and happiness on a more permanent
basis than is possible in placer min
ing "It Is a land of plenty" ac
cording to Mrs. Ileacock.
Tho quarts districts around Fair
banks have not shown anything of
permanency, though thefe are sev
eral small quartt mines operating,
of them taking out over a
thousand dollars a day. The min
ers there however believe It to be
a quarts country jnd will develop
into great: things
