Sitkt Still One of Alaska's
Best Towns
Sitka i* not only not dead but It ia
still one of Alaska's best towns, accord
ing to Dr. L. S. Kelier, who recently
returned from a visit tbere of several
weeks duration. The discovery of very
rich quartz on ChicagotT island, which
is being de to lop ad. is expected to make
Sttka a mining center as well as head
quarters for sealing, fishing, lumbering
and other industries and for sum
mer tourists and a very large Indian
trade.
"Sitka is confessedly the prettiest
town in the north," said L>r. Keller,
"and it is being made prettier all the
time, by the improvement of the beau
tiful walks and other natural features.
But it does not depend upon sceaery for
Its existence. It is really a thriving
little business center.
"The development of the newly dis
covered -nines on Chieagoff island will
make Sitka a very thriving mining
towa in addition to the many othar
things which support its large stores
and other business houses. These prop
erties are very rich. Judge de Groff
h.11 organized a company that is active
ly at work developing his claims there,
and W, P. Mills, Joseph Simmons, B.
Hirst and others are preparing to begin
work at once.
"The people of Sitka are awakening
to the fact that there is a future for
their town quite apart from its tradi
tions and its former glory as the capl tal,
court, customs and land office head
quarters."
