VALUE OF ALASKAN MARKET

NAISO E VT Al1As'NAN M A h IN IT. |
 Commercial Alaska in 1901" is the title of Il monograph just issued by the treasury bureau of statistics, in which 1t is estimated that the present value of the market which Alaska offers the producers and manufacturers of the United States is million dollars month.
 Gold, fish and furs are. according to this monograph, the principal industries of Alaska at the present time, and they send to the United States $15,O00,00 worth of their products-$S, 100000 in gold, $6, ,O0O- GOO in fish, chiefly salmon, and the remainder furs.
 Thecost of Alaska. was < 100000 The revenue which the government has derived from it since its pur- chase amounts to over S9,000,000. and the value of the products are now twice as much every year as it cost. The total value of the pro- ducts of Alaska brought to the United States since it's purchase. is about $150,O00,0O0, of which $5O.- OOO,OOO is precious metals, $50.- OOO,OOO products of the fisheries, and $50,000,000 more furs, chiefly seal fur. Probably $50,000,90O is invested in Alaskan industries and business enterprises, including transportation systems. In the salmon fisheries alone the compan- ies engaged have capitalization of $22 2,OO0,O ,OOO, and the value of their plants, including vessels, is given at $l2, 100000. In the min ing industries there are large i'm vestments, the stamp mill at Juneau being the largest in the world, while several other plants repre- sent large investments.
 Agricultural possibilities in AL aska have, until recently been con sidered of but slight importance. As the country was explored, how ever, and it's conditions of climate and soil studied, its natural pro- ducts observed, anal experiments made with various classes of agri- cultural productions, it became apparent that the agricultur- al possibilities of the coun- try. and especially of the south and southeast, were of con siderable importance, in view of the practicability of s,rnishing at least d part of the food supply of the population which the varied resources of Alaska seem likely to sustain and make permanent. These observations and experi- Ments lead those who have parti- sipated in them to the belief that vegetables in great variety can be produced all along the southern coast and the interior valleys, and bY some tlie possibility of the sue eessful production of wheat and oats is strongly supported.
 The grasses for the support of cattle are abundant, and the experi- ments with live stock thus far jus tify the belief that this feature of tie food requirements of Alaska a,ay be furnished by the develop nent of stock farms in the southern sections.

Bridge at Taz1ina.'

One of the most dangerous streams to cross on the government trail to the Yukon is the Tazlina river which empties into the Copper few miles above Copper Center. All those going to Slate creek, Chis- ma or the Yukon, or those return ing must cross this river, and dur ing the summer months they take their lives in their hands in deing so. In crossing the Tazlina the traveller in reality is held from al- most certain destruction by slen- der rope.
 Three lives have been lost in this treacherous stream during the past year and there has been many narrow escapes from death in its raging torrents. The government has maintained ferry over this river for the past two seasons and while this has been q great help and of material benefit yet ferry is not sufficient for the travelling public at this point. A bridge is neces- sity. The ferry has broken from it's cable and moorings on several occasions and only d few days ago when it broke loose. two natives were drowned and one of the promi- nent mine owners of Slate creek. and the ferryman haE almost a miraculous escape from drowning. Quite often the traveller must wait there for days before he can cross. and only last month several men on their way to this place. some of them coming for provisions for the miners at Slate creek, were detain- ed there for seven days. The United States mail is apt to be detained or lost there at any time, on account of high waters.
 We desire to call the attention of Captain Wilson to this matter as it is one of importance to the miners and prospectors who are endeavoring to open up and de- velop this country, and we are cer- tain that if he will investigate this matter, a bridge will be built over the Tazlina before another season opens.
The Alaska prospector., 1902-08-14

Alaska better fitted for that office or who could represent the entire district in Congress as well as Judge Johnson. He is man of culture and honor, with broad views. and an extensive knowledge of the dis. trict. He is intimately acquainted with Alaska, its needs and its people, and no section of this great country would be neglected, should he he our delegate.
 Judge Johnson is an old resident of Alaska. He was first United States Attorney for the district, and afterwards Judge of the dis trict court, which position he re- signed in order to practice law at Nome. He resided in Southeastern Alaska for eight or ten years, and went to Nome two years ago.
 TIE Nugget of Nome is not in favor of territorial form of govern ment. In recent editorial that paper says among other thirgs: We do not believe territorial government is necessary at this time. Alaska as at present consti- tuted is too large to admit of such government, because of geograph- ical and physical conditions which need not here be elucidated. What we do need, however, and the cost of its maintenance would not be heavy, is q commission or a sort of legislative cauncil, composed of dozen or so members with power to pass local laws, besides recommend ing to Congress such federal legis- lation as would be needed from time to time. Alaska will some time be divided into twD OF. more territories, but until that time ar rives, it's government by a small legislative council. acting with the governor, it seems to us, would meet existing needs and demands"
 lT is to be hoped that the Solo mon gllch property will prove to be as great financial success as its owners expect. Several mining experts have thoroughly examined the ground, and their reports were SO favorable that the company which has the property bonded, will spend large sum of money in developing it. The extensive work that the company proposes to do means the employment of 75 to 100 men,, all of whom will spend their money, or portion of it,. in Valdez. This means great deal for our town.
 The City Council should either hold its regulaKmeetings or adjourn sine die, and let the citizens elect d new council. There has only been two regular meetings of the council since the first of June. This certainly does not speak well for the council or the town. Two members of the council are always in their place on Monday night and ready for business. whenever they are in town, and the others should either do likewise or resign.
 THE salmon canneries in Prince William sound and Cook inlet have had the best pack this year since 1898. All the cans brought up by the companies last spring have been filled and the fishermen conn elled. to quit their work before the fish were through ulnning.

TIE city council should not ne- glect to appoint health officer without delay. The general health of this community has always been the very best, but as the popula- ton increases, and garbage and filth are scattered about the streets and alleys and thrown into the stream that runs through town, it is bound to bring on sickness and disease.
