.RAILROAD IS
ESSENTIAL TO
DEVELOPMENT
(Continued from Page Six)
rieulture during its pioneer growth.
"When the railroad shall have
opened the way to the economical de
velopment of the interior, the com
merce and output of all products of
Alaska should expand rapidly. At
present production is limited to the
narrow belt of territory adjacent to
the coast, to the Copper River &
Northwestern railroad, and to the nav
r igable waterways.
Alaska’s Wealth of Resources
"Gold placers and lodes are to be
found throughout all sections of
Alaska, where gold is probably more
universally distributed than in any
other country of the world.
“Copper production in 1917 again
exceeded all other mineral output.
Alaska’s copper deposits are among
the world’s greatest.
"Tin, both in lode and placer de
posits, is being profitably mined.
Alaska has the only tin mines on the
continent.
"Antimony is found in widely sep
arated regions.
“Iron in large deposits and of good
^ grade has been found in numerous lo
calities, asstiring an important indus
try.
“Lead, graphite, cinnabar, pallad
ium, platinum and molybdenum have
been discovered and are being devel
oped.
“Marble that rivals that of Ver
mont, both in quantity and quality, is
being extensively quarried in the
Prince of Wales island region, and
furnishes interior decoration for of
fice buildings in many of our western
cities.
“Gypsum anti barytes are other
non-metallic mineral resources of
Alaska that are being profitably mined.
“Coal deposits, ranging in grade
from lignite to anthracite, are of
greater area than were originally con
tained in the state of Pennsylvania,
and we know geologically only about
40 per cent of Alaska. <
“Mineral oil is being produced and
refined from one claim patented. No
further development of this industry
is now possible, as all oil-bearing
lands are reserved from entry. Dis
coveries of mineral oil have been re
ported in widely separated areas.
Five oil fields are known.
- "Fishing is one of Alaska’s greatest
industries. The production in 1918
exceeded the combined output of Brit
ish Columbia and the state of Wash
ington, Oregon and California. The
continental shelf extending off the
south coast of Alaska and the Aleu
tian islands is a more extensive fish
ing area than that of any other coun
try.
“Reindeer ih Alaska is today a prac
tical reality and is each year showing
larger gains. Probably a thousand
families are today securing part or
all of their income from agricultural
pursuits. It is estimated that Alaska
contains 100,000 square miles of ara
ble lands.
“The spruce forests of Southeastern
and Southern Alaska will furnish the .
supply for a large paper-pulp industry.
“Water power is available in such
quantity as to assure for the North
land a great industrial development.
s “Scenery unsurpassed by any coun
. try in the world assures a future tour
ist travel of vast proportions.”
