'GRtAF VALUE
Alaska's Richness Is Ger
 tainly Marvellous
Seattle Post Intelllgeneerl

The figures which Gov. Brady has prepared of the amount of gold which Alaska has added to the country since it's acquisition from Russia are certainly marvellous. According to this statement, one single company in Alaska, the Treadwell, operating a low grade mine, has produced thus lar S22. .OOO, 900 worth of gold, or nearly three times as much as the entire amount paid by the United States for the purchase of Alaska The total amount of gold produced in Alaska, since the United States secured 1t, has been sl5O,OOO,OOO.
 The production of precious metals is not, however, the oGly thing for which Alaskais noted While the mines have developed rapidly within the past few years, other industries have developed as we'll. Dur ng the past fiscal year other Alaskan products shipped to the United States were considerably greater in value than the gold, silver, bullion and ores. During the seven months ending with January of this year, the shipment ofother products from Alaska was sI,OOO,OOO greater in value than the shipment of precious metals and their ores during the same period.

MUCH
River Conditions Change But
 Slightly

While 1t is thought that the Yukon river will open earlier by a week or more this year than it did last year. when the ice went out at Dawson, May l3, the cool weather of the last few days Is causing the water to fall at many points along the river. However, the water is rising at Dawson.
 At Selwyn there was a fall of six inches lu the last 24 hours, and at Yu- kon Crossing the fall was foot. How ever, the ice has broken in front of the latter place, leaving the river open from bank to bank. The water is fall ing at Big Salmon and HOOtalinqua. The Hootalinqua river is running ice.
 There has been no change at Selwyn and the ice still holds in Lake La Barge.
