The mines of Southeastern Alaska are coming to the front with such pressure behind that nothing short of the world com ing to an end can stop it.
 It has been proved beyond a doubt that the gold is here and the most careful and conserva- tive investors are now interest ing themselves in Southeastern Alaska. Wrangel being the nat ural distributing point is destin- ed at no distant day to be the Chicago of Alaska, and it will soon be in order for the other vil- lageS in Alaska to take their hats off to Wrangel.

ant voyage to all the steamboats required to make the needed link. Catching the spirit of the British Columbia press it looks more than possible that the Pro vincial Parliament will give good gifts and bestoWments upon prospective railroad builders in this section and it may safely be inferred that whatever railroad is constructed will leave from the bank of the Stikeen River.
Stikeen River journal., 1898-11-26

The reports from Hootalinqua will once more stimulate interest in that part of the country. The probabilities are that an immense amount of prospecting will be done in that region and Northern British Columbia next season. Wrangel ought to secure large share of the outtitting.
Stikeen River journal., 1898-11-26

The Victoria and Vancouver papers of late, are exercised over trade conditions in British Alas ka. From Beacon Hill they see the ships plying between the American coast cities laden with freight and black with passen- gers. The prospect to them is unpleasant. The panacea is an all Canadian rail route from strictly British Col umbia ports northward with qualifications later to reach de- sirable sections. Ten thousand locations in the Atlin region for 1899 is not wild estimate, It raises the ire of our friends that aliens are sucking the juice of the golden orange and leaving the rind for digestion to future gen erations of her majesty subjects. They advocate also the passage of a law to shut out foreigners from filing upon placer claims or acquiring title by transfer. We deprecate this sort of sentiment.
 A liberal spirit ought to gov ern as to these two neighbors who are so commingled as to be scarcely severable, alike in lan- guage, characteristics and habits Foreigners forsooth.
 Taking the past season into view we think both of these dis. affected cities did very well in the mattero of traffic. Their ships did good business and the trans fers to the interior from this point were 90 per cent British.
 A little arithmetic will show Llluu lOl LIlc Sdhc Ol dll dll Ndlld- dian route. to construct through a hard, uninhabited, non produc, ing and non contributing country hundreds of miles of railroad is arrant nonsense. An all Canadi. an route is much of a figment, di-  aphanous and dishonest. Goods intransitu are subjected to no customs levies except such as are requisite to maintain the in- tegrity of the goods and to pre-. vent theperversion of the bond ing privilege. The right reason in the premises is the practical one of the nearest harbor to the
Stikeen River journal., 1898-11-26


 years before Wrangel had ceased to extend his noisy hospi- tallty and laid down to pleasant dreams. The klondyke strike started Skagway and Dyea be- cause they were at the head of ship navigation and the nearest point from which to reach inland. Juneau found it's creator in the TreadWell mine. It's history is comparatively recent. Wrangel was selected because of it's admirable harbor age and contiguity to d navigablc river. Leaving every thing else out it was a natural town site.
 Pushing prejudice behind us in contemplating arail communica- tion to the interior, the first con sideration is one of suitability, and par excellence, Wrangel stands conspicuously out. It will cost no more as a transporta- tion proposition to run a steam CT from Victoria to Wrangel than it would to kitimat arm taking into view the loss of freight and time and cost over d dead haul.
 While we commend the busi- ness acumen of our British Col umbia merchants in urging the necessity of encouraging the de- velopement of transportation ia cilities in the interior we must condemn the impolitic and un- neighborly policy of shutting out thousands of sturdy mon from the discovery and development of the country. A study of the map shows Teslin in fair reach of Atlin We are apt to contine our conception of a rich country to that which shows good indica- tions and to which public atten- tion is for the time directed. The probability is strong howev. CT that a hundred years hence a new rush will be on into all sorts of unexpected places. If a rail line is started from the head of river navigation and built along the lines of travel and to desira- ble objective points, that line will be profitable because it runs to where people want to go.
 We write as germain here, but in parenthesis, that our Canadian brothers have contracted a bad habit of looking for public aids in every new undertaking. In the United States the subsidy is largely interdicted, as it left a legacy of taxation and led to fear ful abuses. But government aids are a merchantable com modity and while they serve to make the fortunes of the recipi- ent they go further and furnish often basis of credit without which the requisite funds for con struction and equipment would not be forthcoming.
 Leaving the Aggression, it is a safe inferance that upon it's mer- it's a railroad from Telegraph Creek to Teslin or to Dease Lake would open up territory that from the start would remunerate investors. It's feeders would grow always in the direction of new strikes. Incident to the ln- crease of people engaged in min ing would come thousands of oth- CTS whose livelihood would be in conducting those avocations and employments which are demand ed everywhere where civilized people exist.
 The good people of Wrangel would be pleased to cooperate with anN nl1mhar of unnt tlanon
