Homer Meyers, Exalted Ruler of
the Seattle Elks’ lodge, whose death
was announced In Seattle recently,
was a former resident of Fairbanks,
Julius Linstead, pioneer miner of
the Klondike, died recently at Daw
son following an illness of more
than a month. He came to Daw
son in the early days arid was ac
tively interested in many mines.
McGrath, in the Kuskokwim soun
try, is experiencing a big mining
boom. Fourteen shafts have been
sunk In the vicinity of the camp.
■Tom Aitken’ operating about the
i only mine there, is shipping 800
tons of ore down the river.
H.H.Waller, repiesentmg a Seat
tle civil and mining engineering
firm, recently left Cordoba for Chit
ina creek 2nd Nebesna river where

ounts to more than fifteen millions;
the territory proudly claims the oo
ly volcano and the highest mount*
ain (Mount McKinley) in North Am
erica; from reports that there are
not enough passenger steamers to
carry the people who want to visit
the country this summer we gather
that it is becoming a summer play
ground; the same ground that is
covered with snow in winter has
grown wheat that took first prize
at Minneapolis; Alaska contains the
only placer tin mines on the conti
nent; the marble from the territory!
for which Uncle Sam paid less than |
two cents an acre rivals that of :
Vermont and is used to adorn west-I
ern office buildings and hotel lob-!
bies; and the value of Alaska’s pro- j
ducts since the territory was ac
quired by the United States is al
most a billion dollars. The newest
industry, and also one of the most
profitable, is that of reindeer rais
ing, which has made the majority
of the Eskimos economically inde
pendent; the gain in this industry,
we are told, has been more thanj
twelve hundred per cent. Dr. Nel- j
son, chief of the Biological Survey, I
is now in Alaska studying reindeer I
propogation. The Navy, for the {
first time in history, is now mining
its own coal in Alaska; and finally,
a transpacific cable and land line
between the United States and the
Orient, via the Aleutian peninsula,
is to be oonsidered during the neat
session of Congress.
“Capital And enterprise are need
ed to usher in the day of stipreme
accomplishment in Alaska,” de
clares Governor Cox’s paper, the
Dayton News, but the Rochester
Times-Union says:
“Young men can't do it alone; the
pioneer wives and mothers in this
bouptry did as niuch, if not more,
to build it up than the men. -Virile
young men—and women—might
do well to consider Alaska.
