sKHHM S OOIfHIDHRATlON OF
AI.ASKA RAILRO.VD QlKSTlON
The a-inouncement that the Unit
ed States government has named a
coraniisalon to make a thorough in
vestigation of the situation In Alas
ka with a view to the construction
01 u federal railway system for the
territory, says the Dawson News, Is
one of the most important ltenis
touching the North that ever flash
ed over the wires. It is fraught
with exceptional promise not only
to Alaska, but also to Yukon.
The fact that Uncle Sam has
.thought enough of Alaska to go so
lar into the serious consideration of
.i railway project to touch the heart
01 the great Northland and perhaps
penetrate the depth of the Yukon
valley will impress the Outside
world with the value of the region
:t8 has no other act. Nothing
could do more to break down the
widespread prejudice that exists in
the average mind in America Hitd
f.urope.
The advertising (his region is re
ceiving today throughout the civil
ised world as a result of this move
ment must be second to none since
i he news of the discovery of Klon
dike started the world. In a way,
it is much more significant. The
gold strike implied fabulous wealth
which was to be won only by sur
mounting almost fabled untenable
conditions. A railway project im
plied an inviting country, one that
is tolerable and rich In resources,
tne that is worth attending vast suit
to reclaim and develop. In this re
spect the American government has
dealt wisely. Although the project
ed railway may bo American-owned
;tnd on American soil, the Hercul

A report entitled "Miner*! Re
sources of the l/ower Copper River
Basin, Alaska," by Fred H Mofflt,
of the United State* Geologic*! Sur
rey, ha* Just been Issued a* Bullet
in B20-C.
The search Ifor gold and copper
which began In the mountain* aouth
of Chltlna Rlv<?r, Alaska, with the
rush 01" prospectors to the Copper
River basin In 1898 ha* been car
nal on spasmodically since that
time. As a result copper wa? found
in the mountains east of T*ral dur
ing the first summer, and the gold
placers of Breniner River were dis
covered a few years later. No cop
per ha* yet been produced in this
district, according to the Geological
Survey, but the facilities for trans
portation offered by the Copper Riv
er k North weutem Railway dur
ing the last year have stimulated In
terest In the development of copper
properties, so that considerable pros
pecting has been carried on.
One small stream, Oolconda Creek,
i trihutarv of Bremner River, has
vlelded most of the gold so far pro
duced In this district, although Lit
tle Bremner River ha* contributed
i part Gold in commercial quan
tities ha* not been found near Taral
nor between the Chltlna and the
itremner in lianagtta Valley. The
'otal production of the district is
not known, but several thousand do!
lars' north of gold hss been produc
ed e ich year since mining began
The very high cost of supplies and
? i i f ult\ of access have done much
o discourage prospectors.
All the gold so far produced In
the Bremner River valley has been
obtained from stream gravels. This
valley Is practically unprospected, so
tar as lode deposits are concerned.
The throe part* of the valley of
resent or prospective Importance

The report briefly describes the
eulogy of the region so far as
i now n and the prospects for the de
?slopment of gold In the Bremner
River valley, on Oolconda Creek,
mil on Little Bremner River; it al
so discusses the character of the
upper deposits In the mountains be

A BOX OF SARDINES.
Mow to T nt It and H?t to Toll W?0
Kind of Fnh It Holds.
Francis Mnrre irl\ the following In
struct Ion* for purchasing a run of oar
dines:
Tho two sides of the ran should be
flat or concave. If they bulge out there
is a likelihood Ihut the <*au contains
gases resulting from decomposition.
No can should !*? liought that has
been resoldered.
The lettering on the can should be
clear nn<! distinct.
If there I* n choice lielween soldered
cans niul cans waled by crimping, the
latter should always lie preferred.
If the cans are soldered select those
that have bright, solder, which Is less
likely to contain lend and less likely
to lie bad.
After the bo* of sardines Is taken
iiome the can should lie opened under
water. If any babble* of gas escape
the stuff should lie destroyed. Th? kind
of oil lived in prepnrlng the sardines
Is of no great Importance. The flsh
used are not. however, always tnte
"sardines."
In the true sardine the dorsal flu Is
forward of the ventral flns and there
is no wrinkled crost on the ventral
line The skin Is smooth and blalsh
on the back In the herring the dorsal
is only slightly In front of the ventral
(In and there Is n wrinkled ridge be
hind the latter. The skin Is brownish
on the back, with a delicate network.
In the sprat the dorsal fln Is In ?
line with the rentrals, and the crest
l>chind as well n In front of the ren
tral flns enn Iw easily felt by passing
the thumb backward from the base of
the head The flesh Of the sprat Is
rather hard.
In the anchovy the ventral crest la
absent, as In the sardines, but the dor
sal flns are liehlnd the ventrals. The
"chinchard," s smsll variety of mack
erel. may be distinguished by Its gray
Ish color and the presence of two flns
on the l>ack extending nearly th? whole
length of the l?*dy. The forward fln
has a spiny point.? Harper's Weekly.
