afternoon. The track had dried out, but

defeats to other causes than hard track.

for the statement that the team that puts

visited by this geological survey parity
and DR.. Becker tells me that there afe
big veins OF coal along Cooks inlet and
along Katchenak bay. Ia the latter
place the bluffs rise 500 feet straight up
from the water, and the coal crops out
of them, so that IL could be easily trans
leued from the mines to the ships. IL
is Ignite coal, about five eighihs as
good as the Cardiff coal. II is believed
that 1t could be taken to San Francisco
aud sold there for 50 ton at profit.
There Is a possible market for this coal
at a future hall way station between
Vancouver and Japan on the Aleutian
Islands. At present each Of the great
trans Pacific steamers has to carry 2. 600
tons OF coal for each voyage. With
such a station they could save 1 200 tons
OF freight each way In going to and from
Asia.
UNCLE SANS NEWEST TERRITORY
During this expedition the geological
survey party visited aud took pictures
Of the new Bogosloy Island. This IS the
last possession that Uncle sam has
acquired. II rose out OF the sea after
we bought the territory from Russia,
and as II was the direct gift Of God, there
is no possibility OF the English laying
claim to IL. II Is a volcanic ISLAND, some
ports OF which are still steaming. aud
which are so hot that they would roast
any human being who touched them.
Birds fall into the cfevices OF the rocks
and arc cooked, and DR.. Becker and his
party ate eggs which they boiled over
the steam coming out OF the ground.
rHK ALASKA PURCHASE AND rHE RUSSIAN
LOBBY.
The loss Of the gold territory will be
by no means the only loss which Uncle
Sam will sustain u the boundary line Is
changed as the Canadians desire Il. II
would cut US out Of some OF our best
harboB aud most valuable waterways.
Few people realize the enormous
amounts Of money which We have
gotten out OF Alaska. When Il was
purchased Il was looked upon by many
as a snow-clad desert, and Seward, who
was then Secretary OF State, had hard
fight with Congress to get II. There
was big lobby here at the time. and II
was publicly charged that OF the s., 400.
600 paid for It only 100000 reached
The car, the remainder being spent as a
corruption fund. This was not true.
Twenty-scven thousand dollars was all
that went 20 the lobby, and tins was
paid to the attorneys who pushed the
bill. In addition to this there was the
sum oil 1900 which went out Of the
whole amount to one OF the Washington
newspapers !317o,ooo was spent by
the Russian minister Ia buying mum
tons Of war and machinery, which we're
shipped to Russia. The cost Of Alaska
to US was, all told, not more than s., 500. =
COO. We paid Just about two cents an
acre for the property.
WHAT ALASKA HAS PAID UNCLE SAN,
Now let us see what we have gotten
out Of II. The Seal Islands alone have
paid between six aud seven million
dollars In rentals and royalties TO Uncle
Sam, and our people have sold tens OF
millions Of dollars worth oil its pro-
ducts. The whaling industry has yield
ed more than sIi, ooo, 600, and the iur,
