Alaska Mines.

! A tiA Hso li 10 . SiL3 eAN 4CuANAo
 of the press which sets forth in
 glowing colors the advantages of
 Alaska as a mining region. It
 speaks of various quartz mills on
 the coast, all paying, the placer
 mining on the Yukon river and
 the mildness of the climate. The
 article is somewhat misleading.
 The quartz mills are very few.
 The big one on Douglas Island is
 one of the most complete in the
 United States and one of the lar
 gest, and the mine pays well. But
 there are only one or two more in
 the Territory. Most of the quartz
 claims are undeveloped to any
 extent. The Douglas Island mine
 is sort of quarry of low grade quartz, and it took large amounts
 of capital to equip the mine with
 a suitable plant.
 On the coast the weather is not so very severely cold in the winter,
 but in the interior the cold gets to
 be extreme. Thirty, forty or fifty
 degrees below zero Is not uncom-
 mon in the depth of winter. The placer mining season Is, of course, short. Several prospecting expe- ditions up the Yukon river revealed nothing that would pay to work under the existing circumstances. Lately it is stated that rich finds have been made somewhere along the river, and the miners from the other comps have gone in search of the new placers. Mum bers of men have also gone from here to try their fortunes.
 The country is not easily pros pected. Dense forests, vast bogs and moss-covered tracts hinder travel. Communication in winter Is by dog teams, and in summer by canoes. The country is thinly settled and there are few towns or villages. People who go there must have well-tilled purses and be prepared to undergo hardships and cold. Of course, at the coast settlements where there are towns, the miner would be all right, but ! once away from there he is in a wilderness where he must depend | on his own resources. There are thousands of miles of uuexplored | region for the prospector to roam over if he cares to try his chances, but if he finds quartz mines in such places they are of little use. There are no roads at all. Placers, if they are very rich, would do quite well, or even if only three or four months work could be done in year they might pay to run. But men must bear in mind who go there that it is a hard country for poor man, and it is no place for the dead broke" to start for Nothing very definite is yet known of the new placer fields, and the finds may have been greatly exaggerated.

joicing at Philippopols The festivi-
