WILL PLANT COL ONY
OF ALEUTS ON KYSKA
The Island Which the Government Will Develop for a
Coaling Station in Aleutian Group.

Kyska, the island toward which Ad-
miral Glass and his squadron are now
steaming, Will soon be the most pronii-
nent Of the Aleutian group because Of
the coaling station which the Govern
ment will locate there.
II 1900 the navy began to investigate
the various harbOrs in the Aleutian
group for the purpose of determining
which was most desirable for coaiils
purposes. Dutch Harbor and Nysila
were selected as the most desirable lOcd-
tions and the department finally chose
Kyska as the site for the first station.
Another Will probably be constructed at
Dutch Harbor in q short time.
1t is the purpose Of -idmiral Glass
TO survey the site for the new station
and make preliminary arrangements for
its construction as soon as he reaches
the little island in the Boring sea. Kys-
ka Island. like all the other Aleutians.
is Ct volcanic origin. 1t is circular and
opens to the eastward, affordiug large
harbor which IS land-locked capable OF
admitting vessels of any size and with
an opening one mile wide
There are no inhabitants on the island.

will be to people the island that labor
ers may be had for the station work
1t is likely Aleuts will be carried there
from other islands and established in
houses erected by the Government In
the opinion Of Admiral Glass It will be
possible for the natives Of the Aleu-
tians to become almost self-sustaining
on Kyska In spite OF the fact that
grass is practically the only thing
which now grows on the island. Ma
tives from Attu and Nazan Bay will
probably be moved to the little island.
Kyska has many cliffs rising to n
height of go feet and overgrown with
moss and grass and bright-colored flow
crs. Near the hsrbor which the Gov
eminent is about to develop are two
lakes. which have been formed by the
action OF the waves bearing sand
against the island. These are full Of
fish and some dsh can be had IN the
harbor There are also some seal and
otter. Ptarmigan, sandpIpers, bald
eagles. sparrows. and ducks have also
been found on the island, but in limited
numbers.
The little island is 600 miles west of
Dutch Harbor II is nearly 1000 miles
from Yokohama and about 1900 miles
from Hakodate.
