II IS GREAT
John Kalem Enthusiastic
Over luterior
"The Alaskan interior, including the
Tananu and the Kantisha districts, is
all that has been claimed for it and
much more. A young man who will
go in there and work earnestly and in
telligently and stay with the country
cannot help but win out in the end un
less he shall be followed with the hard
est kind of bad luck. " That is the un
qualified approval John Kalem, Skag
way's pioneer wholesale and retail gro
cer, who arrived from there last night,
gives to the country that is attracting
most of the attention bestowed upon
the northland. ''One who has not
been up and down the Yukon and wit
nessed tho great activity there cannot
fully appreciate what Alaska is "
said he.
"There is no question," continued
Mr. Kalem, "about the great richness
of the Tanana. The strikes on Dome
and Esther and other oreeks there in
addition to Fairbanks, Cleary and the
others that were previously known to
be rich, have proved the country to be
extensive. A claim sold a short time
ago on Dome creek for $60,000 and all
others there now have a <ralue.
"Those who have been in the Kan
tishna country no longer question i-s
ricnness. Six creeks, Eureka, Glacier,
Caribou, Moose, Flat and Friday, are
known to carry gold in large quantities,
or good prospects. Roosevelt is the
principal town in the country. There
was some question for a time whether
McKinley, Roosevelt or Bear Paw
would win out in the race for the hon
or of being a metropolis. It is now
generally conceded that Roosevelt has
already won."
1 Mr. Kalem established a store at|
Roosevelt that is doing well.
