A TRAIL BOOSTER.
I
Charles T. Clair, ol Fairbanks, j
who passed through Anchorage re- j
centlv on his way Outside, stopped ■
off at Juneau and in an interview
with the Juneau Empire said: “It
took me four days to make the
overland trip through the Broad
Pass district to the end of steel
north of Anchorage." Mr. Clair said
that a large number of people are
using this route this winter, in
preference to the Richardson trail.
“One thing is certain," said Mr.
Clair, “no finer scenic route in the
world will be found than a trip
over the Government railroad when
it is finished. This will apply to
either winter or summer. One also
gets a good idea of the probable
resources of the country, which will
be developed by a railroad and feed
ers, and by the securing of popula
tion and capital.”
TAKING NOTICE.
Big oil interests purpose to inves
tigate the oil-bearing lands of Alas
ka, says the Seattle Alaska Dispatch.
A scout for one of the biggest oil
producing concerns in the country
took passage recently' at Seattle, en
route to take a look at the possi
bilities in the Katalla, Yagataga,
Iliamna, and Cold Bay fields. He
will make a report on these re
spective fields, and upon his report
much will depend. His preliminary
investigation, if satisfactory, wil
mean that experienced oil engineer!
will be sent to the Northern oi
fields, and if their reports are en
couraging, then there will be thing:
doing.
CAVE CANIM
Life is just one darned thing ;
r.fter another -in Alaska, we are re-1 *
minded by Editor Eelby, in the n
Valdez Miner. No sooner do we ;K
recover from the scare thrown into1*
us by the fish pirates who descend- »
ed upon Juneau last summer than .*•
the influenza epidemic hits us; and ; *
now that we have a half-nelson on if
the flu, here comes Our Governor j
with the scenario for a hellish plot ]
by the Russians within our midst, j
which will occupy the time of theiF
army and navy and the Governor j
'neverything, with “headquarters at.
Juneau,” of course.
Suppose, says the Miner, that the j
Governor had succeeded in having
the soldiers removed from Fort Lis- I
cum before he discovered that the J
safety of Alaska was menaced by
the Russians of the Territory? What
would his 75 brave constables with j
headquarters at Juneau have done
to hold these howling soviet sympa
thizers in check? We shudder to c
think of the consequences. And if i
the revolution uncovered by Our 1
Governor comes off as per schedule 1
will it centralize its forces at the 1
territorial capital during the dancing i
season, or will it spread itself out f
over the rest of the Territory and '
give all of us a whack at the soviet
payroll?
Is this sudden invasion of our
vine and fig trees, figuratively speak
ing, due to the efforts of the pub
licity bureau, with headquarters at
Juneau, > or has the territorial ship
ping board at last got busy and
put one over on us? If Doc Horna
day hears of this revolution, will he
want a closed season on Russians
so that they may be saved with the
fast-disappearing brown bears for
the sole use of Eastern sportsmen?
And to sum up the evidence, is it
legal for a Russian army to land in
Valdez without a clean bill of health
from the port officer?
We must approach this affair
cautiously in order not to scare off
a first-class revolution in its incipi
ency. Valdez has several Russians.
They are very dangerous men—in
a stud-poker game; and the most
radical solo players we have yet
seen. The greatest damage they
could do our fair city would be to
I
■ carry off all the chips before a re
j serve supply could be received from
! Seattle.
' But our women and children must
i
j be protected. The city should ask
for a couple of cruisers, a gunboat,
two sub-chasers, and at least a com
pany of infantry to protect Valdez
from the two or three Russians now
|here. Only by this means will dem
jocracy be saved for the fall elec
ition. And besides, we need the pay
• roll since the tourist travel has
i fallen off and things have been cen
tralized with headquarters in Ju
jneau.
I We are in favor of Our Gover
'nor returning home at once. He
j may uncover something at Washing
ton that will cause the Territory a
great deal of alarm and inconven
! ience. Our people’s nerves are shat
tered and they need a chance ti
j recuperate from these dire happen
Sings.
| In the meantime, beware of th<
'dog as you go out!

SULPHUR IS LOCATED I
IN MOUNTAIN CRATER '
_ |
Located in the crater of a snow
capped mountain on Unalaska island,
one of the Aleutian {Troup, is a)(
large deposit of sulphur believed to i
contain from 10,000 to 15,000 tons, j,
A claim has been filed for the loca-j 1
tion and mining operations will start
in the near future. Subterranean 1
heat and a hot vapor issue from I
the cracks in the rocks and keep
the deposit free from ice and snow,
though these permanently covered
nearly all the remainder of the peak, ,
which is about six thousand feet in
height. Another sulphur deposit has
been discovered on Akun island, in
the same group, and a third near ^
Stepovak bay, on the southern shore ;
of the Alaska peninsula.
COASTGUARD CUTTER
TO RENDER FIRST AID
! The United States coastguard cut
ter Algonquin is now at Yakutat, j
where she will be stationed for the i
season. The cutter is really a med
ical boat, and it will be her duty to
hail all fishing boats to ascertain
whether or not there is sickness on
board. If the illness is not too
serious, medical attention will be
given on the spot. If the cases are
serious they will be taken on board
: the cutter and treated. Dr. A. W.
Jsiebert, acting assistant surgeon of
ithe United States public health serv
t! ice, is the physician on the vessel,
t The Algonquin, which is a very trim
! looking vessel, is 205 feet long, and
S was built in Cleveland in 1898. She
t carries a crew of eight officers and
t sixty-three men, and is in command
t of Captain W. T. Stromberg.
