Tn discussing his recent annual trip
to this territory, Dr. Alfred H. Brooks,
chief of the Alaskan division of the
17. S. Geological Survey, expressed
himself more than pleased with the
season's work.
“The most pleasing thing on my re
cent trip," said Dr. Brooks, “was the
spirit of optimism and prosperity l
found prevailing in all sections of the
territory. It ought to be mast grati
fying to the friends of the territory
and those who have been earnestly
working to secure its development.
In these troublesome times, when tne
world is in need of and wants gold,!
Alaska has it and is supplying it.
Copper, that the world likewise needs,
Alaska is furnishing, and the fishery
products, becoming more valuable to
the world every day, Alaska has ana
is furnishing. Agricultural develop
ment in the Nortland has ceased to be
an experiment and is today a practi
cal reality, so much so that in some
sections the farmers are raising more
produce than they can dispose of.
An intending homesteader of Alaska
must realize that his present market
is limited and dependent on the de
velopment of the mining and other
ndustries. This last year has shown
lubstantfa) progress In all lines of
levelopment. the most remarkable
aeing in the copper mining. With
he opening of the coal fields a smelt
ng industry will be built up in Alas
<a that will make for the permanent
levelopment and upbuilding of large
'ommunities.'’
