it at first believed the reports of the
alleged "wonderful' strike We're true.

years ago. Mr.. Representative lost no
time in verifying his suspicious and his
paper promptly exposed the proposed
attempt to stampede people there from
all parts of the known world.
Among other things the corresponding

Alaska, in the interests of the Spokane
Developr t company, is we'll pleased
with the prospects there.
1.-The island is only about year old
from mining standpoint and not enough
work has yet been done to prove what
it will amount to- he said. "Neverthe-
less, it undoubtedly has some fine ore.

in my life than are on view at ket-
chikan. Gold, silver and copper all are
to be found on various points of the
island which is 125 miles in length. by
40 miles in extreme width.
"Travel is a difficult thing, for every
where there is little tundra II inches
deep and it is a gum boot district for
travelling. In addition, there is dense
growth of timber that makes the noun
tain peaks doubly hard to cross. Pros
pectors go out in boats, and by fol-
lowing up some creek they manage to
get over the mountain country nearest
the water line. in crude way. OF course
under such circumstances the land is
hardly prospected at all.

the Spokane Development company, l
