THE RESOURCES OF ALASKA
Her Sealskins are Worth More Than All
Her Other Products Combined

WAsuNGToS, March 25 In census
bulletin on the wealth and resources Of
Alaska issued by the census Office ycster-
day Mr.. Ivan Peterof, the special agent
who prepared It says:
The discussion Of the wealth ami re-
sources Of Alaska can be properly classi-
fed under four heads: Furs fish, minerals
and timber. This classification will give
these products IN the order Of their rrla-
tive value and magnitude Of proportions.
The fur trade, the most important in
dustrv Of Alaska, may be divided into two
branches, namely: The trade In land furs
ana the pursuit OF marine mammals, such
rs fur seals and sea offers Tho trade in
land furs, though decline has been
noticed IN the supply Of certain sections.
cannot be said 70 have decreased In vol
umc. There is no doubt that fur bearing
animals are hunted and trapped with
greater persistency and energy than ever
before, and as a natural consequence
there must IN the future be a greater de-
cline In numbers.
The land furs exported at present from
Alaska cOnsi Is Of the skins Of bears, both
black and brown; foxes Of three or four
different species, including the most valu-
able among them, the silver or black fox.
and another known as the blue fox: the
land otter, which inhabits all the rivers
and streams; the marten, or Alaska
sable; the beaver, the mink aud the
muskrat, 10 which must be added few
pelts Of the lynx, wolf aud wolverine.
"Ihe pelagic furs consist Of two kinds,
the sea otter and fur seal. OF these fur
bearing animals the lur-seal Is by far the
most important, consisting, so far as ex-
plOred and known, fully one-half Of
Alaska's natural wealth and resources.
The value Of fur sealskins shipped from
the territory aud sold IN the London mar
kets during the twenty-three years Of
S33, 10000, while the total value OF an
other products combined during the same
period does not quite reach S3OO0O,OOO Of
which more than one-hali, or slGOOO,OOO.
represents furs OF various kinds, chief
among which Is that Of the sea otter"

ROMANTIC TALE OF Love
Peculiar Ending of a Matri-
monial Venture, the Result
of Advertising
X. H. Mitchell, a Wealthy
Farmer Falls a Victim to
Cupid's Dart
a Bride Who Got Tired Of
Rural Life and Returns
TO Her Home

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, March % A
peculiar ending OF tale Of love was
consummated at the Union depot yester-
day when the fair young wife Of Farmer
Bob Mitchell waved him last adcu from
the car window as the train moved out to
bear her away to Pennsylvania never to
return.
Robert II. Mitchell Is Il stalwart and
wealthy young farmer whose farm and
erstwhile happy home is near DeKalb, in
this county. Mitchell. who is well known
in this city, Is a handsome, strapplng
young fellow, about twenty years
of age. He was born and raised on the
farm he inherited from his fathers broad
doman, whore he lived In the peace and
cOntentmcnt Of rustic lie until, IN an evil
day he got hold OF a matrimonial paper,
and IN jest, Of course, he inserted an 'ad."
Among the other answers was one on
tinted paper bearing the sweet perfume
Of ros, s., from some fair seraph In VIII
Transport, Pennsylvania.
The missivc seemed To tell Of the love
liucss of the sender and the young farmer
was distrdught with the pangs of wounds
that Cupid dealt. He replied, and CORES
pOndCncc come and went by return
NALL photographs were exchanged aud
"A trystlug place In Illinois was agreed
upon. Tnithcr they went, hot haste and
burning checks; they met, and contrary
10 the usual result Of such arrangements
they were not disappointed In each other,
but their natural love burst aname at
sight and marriage license was imme-
dia ly pro urcd agd used aud Miss Alice
GARNER and Robert H. Mitchell were
made happy man and wife.
This happened on last New Years day.
When the ceremony was performed the
couple came 90 live on the farm about
eight miles from this city. where the hon
cymOon started in swimmingly. A month
ol rapturOus bliss was passed. but e'er
the honeymoon was done the bride began
10 pine for the bustling life OF Williams
port again and could no longer find pleas
IRE iu the rural quctudc.
The ycarning began 10 gnaw at her
heart strings aud she asked her husband
TO move 10 this city 10 live, but he had
lived all his life on a farm aud was doing
we'll, so he would not entertain the prOpo-
sltlun. Then she wrote 10 her father 10
come and take her away. The old gen
tcman arrived last week, terms Of scpa-
ration were agreed upon and Mitchell
drove them into the city yesterday bade
then To- bis country home, bereft now OF

into his home and cmblaLOned 10 with ioy
