OPENING ALASKA.

The discovery Of gold on Munnook
Greek is but one of the indications that
all the small streams entering the lu-
kon valley carry more or less OF the
precious metal. 1t is too early to say
whether Munnock creek is or is not as
good as the KlOndike. and it will be
many years before the OF
other afluents and of the Yukon itself
will be fully guaged. But the outlook
is so good both for placer gold and
quartz mining that there promises to
be a great invasion of Alaska. ending,
naturally. in the ''opening up of the
country.
And why not? A part of Alaska as
large as France, Germany and Spain
lies in precisely the same latitude as
populous districts of Norway, Sweden
and Russia. So there is no climatic
reason why, if people want to go into
the southern half Ofthe extreme North
west, they should not do so. The point
is whether the country has anything in
it worth going for, and this, as we say,
is settling itself in the affirmative.
There is gold in both streams and
lodges, as well as resources of petro-
leum, copper, furs and salmon, and
how much else can only be determined
by prospecting. Speaking generally,
one may assume hat a territory nearly
as large as Australia and lying at one
extreme of a range OF mountains that
is known to be rich in all the metals
would, on anything like an adequate
exploitation, yield wealth in about the
same relative ratio that other mineral
lied countries of like area do.
The chief difficulty heretofore has
been one of transportation. But the
Klondike rush has done much to inter
est capital in solving this problem. BY
another season there will be steamer.

Dispatches state tat w. A. Clark,
the Montana millionaire, has purchased
the Bixby ranch of S1T6 acres near Los
Angeles. This property will be used
for the culture of sugar beets and the
capacity of his Alamitos refinery, which
is located on an adjoining tract, will be
doubled. This extension of the beef
sugar industry in California is full o.
Significance when considered in the
light of a recent prediction Of Secretary
Morton to the effect that the United
States would be exporting sugar inside
81 ton years. As We now import sugar
fo the amount of about 800. 0OO, 600 a
wear, it would seem that Mr.. Morton
had sct "a task for thu American people
that is almost impossible of accomplish
ment. This is not because we lack suit
able lands, as experiments have proven
that sugar beets of a good quality can
be profitably raised in nearly all of our
central and western states: nor Is it be-
cause We lack the energy and enterprise,
for the American people have accom-
plished undertakings of equal magni-
tude before now; the industry is pro-
tected and offers a profitable field of in
vestment to capital. Why then do not
plants spring up all over the country?
Why does capital hesitate to invest? 1t
is because the sugar trust has its talons
on the throat of the industry and en-
ploys its enormous capital and power to
crush out the life of every new indie

manufacture sugar in this country. Its
