KA RESOURCES.
Some person, evidently a friend and
well wisher of the gentleman whom the
people of Southeastern Alaska, irres
pective of party faith or creed, have put
forward as their choice as first dele
gate in congress, sends to us from Mar
quette, Michigan, his old home, a copy
of the Mining Journal, of the date of
Oct. 1S98, containing an editorial
under the cspticu which is wholly
pertinent to! the present political
status in Alaska:
"In view of the recent disclosures
regarding the richness in gold of Alas
ka, it is interesting to recall the faith
in the mineral resources of that ter
ritory which Gov. Swineford held when
he was appointed its governor during
the first presidential term of Cleveland,
a faith that was strenghened by his
four years stay there, and which he has
ever since stoutly maintained against
ail who were skeptical as to the value
of the frigid territory.
"It was because of his conviction that
there w, re vast mineral deposits in
Alaska, and that it was especially rich
in gold, that Mr. Swineford sought the
appointment which he received from
President Cleveland. He had read and
studied everything published concern
ing the territory and had added to the
information thus obtained by inquiry,
until he was remarkably well informed
regarding its physical^ characteristics,
climate and resources, for a man who
had never visited it, and all that he
read and heard about Alaska convinced
him thit there was a great, future be
fore the territory, and inspired him
with the desire to be placed in a
position to do something to bring its
resources to the attention of the people
of the states in order to promote and
hasten the development.
"When he became governor of the
territory he at once addressed himself,
with an energy characteristic ^of the
man, to inform himslf fully as to its
resources, and to bring these to the
attention of congress. He sought in
dustriously to obtain legislation that
would enable prospeetois to seek out
the hidden wealth of the territory with
some assurance that when they had
found anything of value they would be
protected in their title to it, and which
would tend to make life and property
as secure for all in Alaska as in the
states, to the end that a serious ob
stacle in the way of its settlement and
development might be removed. He
was not very successful in getting the
desired legislation, owing to the skep
ticism of congress, but the effort did
much to direct attention to the rich
ness of the territory in gold and other
minerals, and no doubt aided to bring
about the discoveries that have now
made the Yukon region known to the
entire world.
"No living man has done more than
Mr. Swineford to bring to the notice of
the people of the United States the
great possibilities of gold mining in
Alaska, as well as the extent and va
riety of its other resources. On that
subject he could not talk at any time
since his governorship of the territory
without becoming enthusiastic, and
making predictions that have since
been singularly verified. It was a
great mistake on the part of Cleveland
when he became president for the
second time not to re-appoint Mr.
Swineford to the position in which he
had accomplised so much for the
territory. But the good work that he
did durin? his one term as governor of
Alaska did much to start the movement
which has had culmination in the
wonderful discoveries on the Yukon
and its tributaries, and for that work
he is entitled to great credit."

Gov. Swineford is no latter day con
vert to the cause of home rule for the
people of Alaska. On the contrary he
is the only governor Alaska has ever
had who advocated their cause in his
official reports, and who in season and
out of season for a recognition of their
right to local self-government at the
hands of congress. As the first and
foremost advocate of territorial organ
ization for more than twenty years
past, he ia is entitled to and should re
ceive the votes of all the friends of
home rule in Alaska.
