ihi. his trip to the North He said
that ?mh' of the fiwt things that
rx rwck him as out of the ranee of
his prei-onofcevwl opinions regarding
Alaska, was the remarkable growth
4>f i ((trtiMn and flowers He was
Ktoiushed to learn that they are
tro* i ug more vegetables in the In
ierior than they can n?e. and their
?tif-K-uIly i.ow is to find a market
'or the i^rt?ducts of the toil. The
tr in sport at ion question was also
oc- of the surprises of the trip,
f Mromelv comfortable boats could b
h*d for traveling all over Alaska
the hardships of earlier days
were rnlr left In t he annals of ro
mance, with the exception of the
newly discovered districts. He ob
served that there was considerable
talk abo'it the needs of ooiapeting
lihws a lout the Yukon, bnt it was
also trae that t!>e lines already ther
*erv not worked to a capacity Hm
.?, no sowHShinR might be said on
Mk sides of that question.
He was informed at I^awson that
the White Pass and Yukon had

tion of breaking into the Jobbing

not see any reason for hostility to
the Guggeuheims, its they bad prac
tically taken over properties that
could not bo handled by the indi
vidual. and w-ere it not for them the
country In many place.* would he
producing nothing.
Speaking of Skagway, be said
that this was a point that would
1 make a showing in the future He
noted that the copper mines a few
miles north were increasing their
output and opening up larger arej:s
for development, and that he had
been informed that the railroad com
pany h ui their lies# offi<e.-s out for
the TO'lxm* of obtaining more min
eral claim# and mines. He did not
believe that they would alwa?s send
, that vast amount of o.-v a thousand
mile* below for the purpose o'
smelting, when It could bo more
cheaply handled In Stag way. Con
sequently he could see a smelter
being built here within the near fu
ture This city had the advantage
of rail and water transportation and
the climatic advantages over any
other part of the district he had vis
ited and it seemed perfectly natural
that a smelter would bo constructed
j in Skagwsy. y
