 "The chief source of revenue at this support is from the duty col lected on coal imported from Brit ish Columbia. The records show that had not the duty been re- bated for almost the entire year the coal imported into Valdez would have yielded almost $1yOOO in duties for the year, which, with the navigation fines and other moneys collected, would have made this of- flee practically seli-supporiing. In this connection 1 would respect fully call your attention to the practice of vessels taking on coal for Alaska, in British Columbia and paying duty on same in the Puget Sound district, thus depriv- ing the district of Alaska of rrve- nues which rightfully belong to it.. One instance of this kind occurred just recently at this support. The steamer Santa Ana arrived here on February 25, 1904, having taken on 25O tons of coal at Ladaysmith. B. C., 100 tons for Kayak and the rest for Valdez. The customs of- ticials at Seattle collected the duty on this, claiming that. as there Is no customs office at Kayak, the duty would have to be paid before any of 1t could be landed and so collected for the whole amount"
 1t appears to me that section 2119 of the Revised Statutes speci- tically provides for different method of procedure and that the proper place to collec, the duty on such merchandise would be Juneau, where the vessels entered, or, per haps, at this port. While it may be merely matter of statistical record as 10 which district receives crcdi, for dutie. paid, still 1t ap- pears 10 ue that each district should be credited, as nearly as possible, with the duties righ,fully belonging 10 it and l would respect fully ask your opinion in this mat ter.

There are some hundreds of thousands more men than women in the Central and Western states of America and in Canada. As a result thoueands oi trusty men-Farmers. Miners and others living in certain districts there cannot possibly get wives in their own neighborhoods.
 But in England, Scotland. Ire land and Wales there are Il million more women than men and, in these countries. thousands of good, intelligent and attractive girls- many of them daughters of farmers and all of them qualified to make excellent wives-see nothing be- fore them while they stay here but the prospect of living and dying as old maids and this. to them, is a decidedly unpleasant prospect. They would willingly emigrate to America, could they be assured that they were going to meet worthy men there as husbands, and that they could look forward to happy, if humble, homes on the other side of the Atlantic.
 We may say that all of them could afford to emigrate at their own expense.
 We are prepared to give good men introductions to these girls.
 If you wish to get an introduc- tion please write us with such par ,iculars of yourself (sge, national ity, occupation and circumstances) as a sensible girl would expect to get and we shall write. you in re- l ply, with view to bringing about a suitable introduction without un- due delay.
 Tell Us what kind of wife (age, nationality, appearance and dls- position) you wish to get. If you have preference for any particular Christian Sect please name it.
 You will also enclose our fee oi s. A further fee of $45 will be due to us within one month after marriage, thus making $50 alto gethef. We do not confne our. selves to one introduction.

The Seattle P. l. of July l7th contains the reports of the deputy customs collectors at various points in Alaska to Capt. Jarvic, collector for the district, and has to say of Valdez as follows,
 The chief industry and source of wealth of Valdez and vicinity is of necessity the mines and mining op- erations in the interior. The prin- cipal interior regions lying tribu- tary to this point are the valleys of the Copper, the Shushitha and the Tsnans rivers, where vast deposits of copper ore and placer gold are found. The chief gold producing districts are Slate creek and Miller Gulch at the headwaters of the Copper river. and about 200 miles north of Valdez, and the Nizina diggings on the Chittyna river and about 165 miles northeast of here. From 1901 to the end of 1903 the total output of gold from these dis tricts amounted to $1.l95, ,750. Much larger results are looked for this season than ever before. Tho future development of the vast storehouse of wealth of this whole interior region will, however. de- pend upon the establishment of some cheaper means of transporta- tion than the region now has. There are along the tributaries of the Copper and Tanana rivers thousands of acres oi placer and immense bodies of copper orc. which cannot be worked at profit until better transportation facilities are provided for taking in supplies and the necessary machinery"
 "What promises to he one of the most valuable copper properties in Alaska is the Bonanza group of mines, about 150 miles northeast of here. It is claimed that there is some $1S,OOO ,OOO worth of ore in sight. There are also many valu- able deposits of copper ore south of here on Prince William sound. Chief among these is the mine FL lamar. which ships about 800 tons of ore per month, valued at $2O. per ton. The next in importance is La Touche, where a large vein has been exposed, but as yet very little ore has been shipped. There are also a number ot mines, where more or less development work ha. been done, on Knights island Glacier islond, at Port Wells, and near Ellamar are the Simonstad1 and the Dickey mines"
 The raising of blue foxes fol their skins is becoming quite ar industry in this vicinity. There are 18 islands in Prince William sound which have been stocked with foxes. The average value o blue fox skin is about $l4, and from these islands there were ship during the year 705 skins. yieldin: the owners about $l0,0OO. Ther' were also quite number of black silver and red fox, marten, minl lynx, otter and beaver skin brought in by trappers and ship ped from here."
 'The timber supply on the soun' is somewhat limited. The princi pal supply is about 30 or 60 mile below here. where it is estimate some 100000 feet can be GU The sawmill here sawed about 1 S00 000 foof Iupipo tha vaap {
