PREDICTS GREAT
"Within two years the activity re
suiting from the opening of the Alaska
coal fields, the settlement of the vast
valleys of Alaska and the projection
of great mining propositions will as
tonish the aciflc coast.”
This was the prediction made by II
F. Alexander, president of the Pacific
Alaska Navigation Company, operat
tng the Admiral Alne, while discus
sing the effect of the navy depart
ment’s tests of Aluska coal. The tests
showed that tin* .^onl meets \‘he most
rigid requirements of the navy. Alex
under lnld stress on the fact that the
success of hte tests means more than
a great source of fuel supply for the
United States navy.
"The tests,” he said, "place at the
disposal of the government a coal sup
ply without limit. Few persons rea
lise the significance of the navy de
partment’s announcement that the
tests had fulfilled every requirement.
It means that the government ships
on the Pacific, together with the
housewives and others using coal, will
be independent of all other supplies.
"The tests show that the Matanuska
coal fields possess a better coal than
that now being used on the naval ves
sels In the Pacific and the supply is
so abundant that there need never be
any scarcity. The departments, an
nouncement means that good and
cheap fuel will be brought to Seattle
and other Coast cities. It means that
manufacturers using coal will have n
bet er and cheaper fuel than at pres
ent.
"Although It is not generally known,
It Is a fact that the Alaska fields pos
sess a vast supply of anthracite which
will be delivered here at a rate not
to exceed $2 above the price paid in
New York.
“Large quantities of coking ;oal also
are deposited there and this is of
great importance to manufacturers
who now depend on the expensive
supplies obtained from the Atlantic
Coast and elsewhere. The coking
possibilities mean the projection of
vasf mining propostions In the Broad
Pass country, Alaska, where exten
sive deposists of low grade ore are
found which must be worked In a
smelter on the premises.”

SIX TRIBES OE NATIVES
IN THIS TERRITORY
According to the government sta
tistics the natives of Alaska are about
26,000 in number and they are spread
over more than 350,000 of the 590,000
square miles of the territory. Theix
small settlements extend along 10,
000 miles of coast and on both sides ol
the Yukon river and its tributaries foi
a distance of more than 2,600 miles
One of the supervision districts con
tains a full 100,000 square miles, thi
others average more than 65,001
square miles each. Of the natives o
Alaska, approximately 11,000 belong
to six tribes of Indians in Southeast
ern and Southern Alaska and In thi
valley of the Yukon. About 11,00(
are Eskimos on the western and north
western coast, along the Bering Bea
the Bering strait and the Arctic ocean
Something more than 3,000 are Aleut:
and mixed races through the Aleutiai
islands.

CORPORATIONS PHY
THE TERRITORIAL TUX
One of the most important sources
of revenue thus far flowing into the
Territorial treasury since the passage
of the Alaska revenue and taxation
hill by the local legislature, has been
through the license fees collected by
the Secretary of the Treasury, Charles
E. Davidson.
Altogether 317 foreign nnd 150 do
mestic corporations hnve paid the li
cense tax of $15, most of them for both
1913 and 1914 and some for 1915 al
so. although many waited until it
became delinquent and paid a penalty
of $2.50.
All told 302 foreign companies hnve
paid tax for 1914 and 122 domestic
corporations have paid the tax fot*
1914.

FORMER YACHT
Still staunch and seawor.hy despite
the ups and down that have marked
her long career, the old steam freight
er Edith, which has served ns every
thing from a palatial private yacht to
an itinerant cargo carrier, is about to
change her trade agaim In the spring
she will come north to wreck the
stenmship Olympia which has been
perched for several years on a reef in
Prince William Sound.
At a marshal's sale recently the
Edith was purchased for $700 by Capt.
Harry W. Crosby, of the Washington
Tug & Barge Company and Ben Mar
kus, of Markus & Sneider, machinery
dealers, for use in wrecking the Olym
pia. The freighter Is fitted with heavy
spars anil hooms and powerful steam
winches that will enable her to tackle
the wrecking Job without difficulty.
The Edith was built in San Francis
co in 1882 as a pleasure yncht for II.
F. Ralston, n well-known millionaire
of the Golden Gate port at that time.
Everything that money could pur
chase went into" her construction
equipment and furnishings. Ralston
entertained on the yacht on an ela
borate scale, the Edith being the
scene of some of the most noteworthy
social affairs of the day in San Fran
cisco. In the course of time, Ral
ston found himself in financial difficul
ties and killed himself.
The Olympia is owned by the Alaska
Steamship Company and will be
wrecked under a working agreement
between Markus and that corporation.
Captain Crosby has become Markus'
partner in the enterprise.
No effort will be made by Crosby
and Markus to get the steamship
Olympia off the reef in Prince William
Sound. The former liner's bottom is
badly damaged by the rocks ou
which it is impaled that any attempt
to float her would prove a waste of
money. All her brass work, copper,
Iron and machinery, valued at many
thousands of dollars, will be removed
wiith the aid of the Edith and brought
to Seattle. The Olympia rests on the
reef in such a position that she ap
pears to be afloat and and undamaged.
Her bunkers contain 1,500 tons of coal
1 whte*» *vtl! be burned by the Edith
while In Prince William Sound.
