To Investigate Resources.

Arrangements are being made at Washington for government .ex- petition to come to Alaska this summer to investigate the resour- ces of the country which have been practically untouched so far.
 It is proposed to examine into the resources of Alaska other than gold bearing fields, and to make an exhaustive report. Some govern medt officers believe that the gold excitement of the last few years has, in one sense. been source of harm to Alaska, for the reason that 1t has diverted attention from other resources of the territory which, although undoubtedly of great value, are..almost unknown to the public.
 It will be the purpose of this ex- petition to show conclusively, and in specific manner, that there are many resources in the territory be- sides precious metals that are we'll worth exploiting.
 The geologists, for instance, con- slider that the coal deposits of Alas ka are of considerable significance, and that he.petroleum discovered in Cook Inlet is we'll worth investi- gating in a scientic and thorough going manner.
 Although no specific announce ment has been made in regar,l 10 the coming.exre lition, it is certain that it will be under the auspices of the geological....survey. It will not, however, be made up of imem- bers of the survey exclusively. Several men distinguished in the scientific world and identified also with practical affairs will join the party.

Ii OTHER CONSIDERATION 4

There are, however. other considerations
relating to the feature Of the negro cues
ton, which may be regarded as more
in keeping with the objects and rposes
OF this OCCASION As friends OF the ne.
gro, fully believing In the possibility of
his Improvement and advancement, and
sincerely and confidently. laborlng to that
end, 1t Is folly for us to ignore the im-
portance of8the ungrudging corporation
on the part of the white people Of the
South in this work. Labor as we Will,
those who do the lifting of the weight
must be those who stand next to It, This
cooperation cannot be forced 4 nor can1i
be gained by gratuitously running counter
TO firmly fixed and tenaciously held
Southern ideas, or even prejudices. 81
we are not brought to the point OF do
ing or, overlooking evil that good may
come when we proceed upon the theory
that before reaching the stage where we
may be directly and practically confront
ed with tho question OF the negro full
enjoyment of civic advantages or even OF
all his political privileges. there are I'M
medlately before US and around us aucsr
