Despite the efforts of many of his enemies in Southeastern Alas ka, Dr. sheldon Jackson is still ed- ucational agent for Alaska, and the government has so much confidence in his judgment that they have au- thorized him to stock the northern part of the district with 15OOO reindeer. From ,OOO to 1000 will be shipped from Siberia each year until the entire number needed are secured. The reindeer have proven a great benefit to the whites and natives of the far north.

OIL IN ALASKA.

If the oil wells of Southern Alas Ia turn out as is expected by the experts, and the locators of the vast tracts of oil lands in this sec ton, another great and marvellous ly rich product will be placed upon the market from Alaska. the esti- mated value of which could only be made by the millions of dollars.
 Along the southern coast of Alas ka, from Mt. St. Elias to Unalaska. a distance of over 1 GOO miles, there are indications of oil every few miles, and how far inland these indications can be traced is not known. In one section between Yakutat and the mouth of the Cop per river, for Il distance or a hun dred miles, there are the best of in- dications the entire distance of an abundance of oil, and at one point it is found bubling out of the ground 600 feet above sea level. Over 10000 acres of this land has been located in the past year, and thous- ands of dollars are being expended in development work on the prop erty this summer.
 In Cook Inlet there has been thousands of acres located this sea son and several large companies are now at work in different localities, a number of wells are being bored and before the season is over it is expected that oil will be flowing in large quantities. In the Kodiak district, at.Chignik, Ungai and a number of other places along tho Alaska peninsula, indications of oil are found in large quantities. Ir fact at all these places along tht Southern coast the crude oil i, found bubling up out of the earth
 The analysis of this oil shows il to be much better than the product of the Eastern oil wells, and it is said that there is but one grade oi oil that is superior, and that is found in Russia. The Alaska oil is 9 parofine base article, and will run from 55 to a per cent illumin' ating oil, 10 to 30 per cent lubricat, ing and IA per cent of by-products
 Should a flow of oil be struck this summer, as is confidently ex. pected, it will stimulate other own, CTS to more active operations; and there will be ten thousand oil der. Ticks erected along the southern coast of Alaska within two years and the output Will he something enormous. Surely the greatnes. and richness of Stewards Ice Pur, chase" is becoming more wonder tul every day.

 not q stranger to the cold and hardships of the North, and he knows how to sympathize with tine prospector, who, with his pack on back or with lis dog team, mushes through snow and ice searching for gold, place to sleep or something to eat. General Greeley is the man who commanded the Lady Franklin expedition in search of the North pole in 1881. He went to the North of Greenland and reached the most northern point ever reached at that time by any arctic explorer. He and a few of his com mand survived, enduring many hardships of cold, hunger, exposure, aud other dangers, and were res cued in 1884.
 He published an account of his discoveries in 1886, and was pro- noted to the head of the Signal Service Department of the United States, with the rank of Brigadier General the same year, and still holds this important position with honor to himself and the country.
 General Greeley is d pleasant, cOngcnial gentleman, and is a friend to Alaska, and we may res; assured that he will do all he can in Washington for the advance ment of our interests.
 Delegate B. F. Rodey, of New Mexico, says ''that the present bill in Congress for the admission oi New Mexico as state is the forty sixth bill in twenty-one congresses running through more than half a century, that his territory has had before Congress asking for state, hood. The bill for the admission of New Mexico as state has passed one branch or the other of Congress eight different times, and bOtl houses once, but failed in confer ence."
 We fear that would be about tn, case should Alaska become a terri tory as long as the present genera lives. Would it not be a much bet ter scheme at this time to commenc. a movement for statehood. | would take several years to get { bill for our admission as stat, through Congress, and before it be came a law We would be ready fol statehood.
 News has been received from York in Northwest British terri tory, that the brave explorer Andre has been killed by the Eskimos The dispatches state that when tn, balloon alighted gun was fired and the natives taking this for a signal of hostilities, fell upon the party and massacred them.

The Western Mining World says that Arizona now stands third in its output of Copper, and many of the best authorities are of the opin- ion that it will only be few years before Arizona's copper output will make the State a dangerous compet- itor to both Michigan and Monta- ma. There is at present great ac- tivity among the new properties that is, those that have been con sidered in the development stage for the past year or so, and many are watching the progress and show ing being made by these young properties. The copper kings are especially interested in these new properties, and as soon as one shows itself to have merit, negotia- tions are soon under way to get possession of it. All Arizona now neeis is statehood. This would bring the necessary capital to de- velop her many resources"
 Alaska, we believe, will in a very few years take the first place in the production of copper. Mining men who have seen all the great copper properties throughout the country say there is nothing to compare with the copper properties of the Kotsina and Chittyna country. Alaska also needs statehood.
 The Nome Nugget of June 25th says Judge Wickersham stated that he would like to remain in Nome and await the arrival of Judge Moore. This he will do if it possible. However, Judge Wicker sham will hold terms of court at Rampant, Circle and Eagle on his way up the Yukon. There are some mining cases to be tried at Rampant, murder case at Circle and another at Eagle, and it will probably be near the close of navi- gation before the judge can leave Eagle for his new headquarters at Valdez"
