OUR GOLDEN TERRITORY.

It is almost thirty years since the
foresight of one man secured for the
united States a land whose value is
every day becoming more and more
Known and appreciated by the people
u the Union. He brave1 ridicuIe,
and opposition of every sort from ev-
cry source. and with pertinacity
born Of inward conviction, he never
rested until he had seen Alaska be-
come the property of the United States.
The name of Secretary Seward will be
forever associated with that remark
able purchase, by which we secured
from Russia for seven million two
hupdred thousand dollars a territory
nine times the size of the New Eng
land states; teeming with gold mines,
rich in furs, Astounding in fish, and
clothed with forests. But at that time
no one. not even the Russians them
selves, knew what rich country Alas
ka was, and many were the jokes made
at the expense of Secretary Stewards
enthusiasm. The papers sneered at it,
one of them suggesting to President
Johnson that he visit this land of val
liable snow and merchantable ice," for
the general impressions was that it was
an lce-bound country, access to which
was crowded with Siberian-like diff
cultles, the people as a whole knowing
very little about it, and not stopping
to consider that it's thousand miles Of
coast was washed by the warm waters
OF the Japan current, thus modifying
the climate, so that winters in Sitka
are scarcely more severe than those
IN New York. while the summers are
refreshingly cool. Secretary Seward
worked with almost a seer's vision to
accomplish his hearts desire, and he
was ably seconded by Charles Sumner,
whose speech in the senate on ''the ces-
sion of Russian America" was one OF
the finest efforts of his life. and at
length the vast district became the
property of the United States.
Then came he puzzling question OF
naming the territorial baby, because
its old name, Russian America" was
no longer appropriate. The wits ex'
ercised their inventive powers, sug
costing such appelations as "AmericaI
Siberia" and Zero Islands," bu
Charles Sumner showed his fine taste
by suggesting alaska" (the grea
land), a name which the Indians use(
in connection with the southern part o
the peninsula. The ceremony of tn
transfer was very simple. Had on
been in Sitka a certain bright Octobe
morning in 1867 he would have see,

Helium in a Mine,

Helium, it will be recollected, is a
chemical element which was known to
exist in the sun and some of the stars

the earth. When found on our globe,
two years ago, it was discovered in a
rare mineral of Norway named cleveite.
Since then cleveite has been in demand
