TONS OF GOLD.

In these days of great riches people have got so used to speaking of money in big sums that the term "a million dollars" fails to impart a fair understanding of the magui- tude of that much gold. How many people realize, for instance, that it would take pretty hard work for man mu>hing hi own sled to haul million dollars in golddust from Glen gulch, say, 10 Rampant i'll two months? But it is fact.
 Give rnan all the dust he could bring m. by individual effort, from Quail creek fire m now until the snow disappears, and he would still be barred from good society" ill the east on account of his pov- erty.
 The SIo, 900 ,ooo in gold pro duced in Alaska ill too4 amounts, in round numbers, to 42,85S pounds avoirdupois, or ,I tons S5S pounds. Since 1897 Yukon territory has produced al out $Ioo. 900 ,ooo. That statement, made in that way, does not take ones breath away. for individual outsiders are credited with more money than that nowa- days. But when the treasure of the Klondike is set down a' ap- proximately st414 tons it makes a pretty fair showing.
 The golddust is put down at a valuation of 5'I cents a grain, Of x,6 an ounce. troy. If any one wishes a more exact calculation they have only ,o remember that pound avoirdupois contains 1000 grains. while a pound troy con taius S.7eo grains.

over these is pronounced. The ex- ception so far found is of local ap- plication, in respect to the commis- sion.
 It is provided that certain per centaYe of the gross license fees outside of towns be devoted to the construction of roads. The power to employ this fund and direct its expenditure is vested in a commis- sion that will act upon petition. It is argued that this may be the cause of inter sectional disputes in Alaska, as the revenues will never be great enough 10 satisfy all the demands for highways in the terri tory. Then it is contended the coast districts will get the first call, being so located that their inhab- itants can more quickly get the ear of the national government, and better know how to obtain what they desire on account of being in closer touch with the operations of the government.
 Valdez now has proposal pend- ing to build road to Eagle and the interior, the cost of which has been estimated at far above a mil lion dollars. If the money required for the building of this was obtained solelo by the collection of license ices the entire fund for many years would be eaten up.
 The srhool and insane provisions meet general approval. particularly the last named. Heretofore there has been no appropriation made for insane people. Last fall man iu this place became so helplessly in- sane that the authorities imprisoned him for safe keeping. After several months confinement he was liber- ated. as there was no provision for the support of such prisoners.

NELSON ROAD BILL.
From the Fairbanks News.

the mcdgeI CapItal news that naQ filtered its way into Fairbanks, con siderably puzzled the people here when MT. Heilig, clerk of the dis trict court, wired from Eagle the simple statement that it had passed. is fully explained ill a recent Wash ington special sent the Seattle Post Intelligencer by Walter E. Clark. wellknown Washington corre- spondent.
 Wagon road construction on large scale in Alaska, the special reads. is assured. The house today passed the bill, which was put through the senate at the last ses- sion, providing fo, "the construc- ton and maintenance of wagon roads, the establishing and main tenance of schools, and the care and support of insane persons in the district of Alaska"
 The important feature, of course. is the provision for roads. The bill was drawn by Senator Nelson last winter, and after it passed the senate was sent to the house aud referred to the committee on terri tories of that body. The committee made favorable report. with un- important amendments.
 Representative Cushman called tie bill up today, and it was passed , after the hriefest discussion.
 The president is in hearty sym pathy with tie objects of the meas ure. and he will sign it within few days. The bill will make avail able at least $7o, ,ooo every year for the construction of roads alone.
 According to its terms, 70 per cent. of the license moneys collected wilI be expended in the construc- ton of roads, 5 per cent. in the maintenance of schools, and $ per cent. i'll the care of insane persons. The total collections of license moneys i'll the fiscal year of 1903. outside the incorporated towns, was SIo2. .oo4 The money for road building is to be disbursed under the direction of a commission espe. cially appointe' for the purpose, and the war department will have supervision.
 The road commission will have large powers. The bill says the commission shall have "the power upon their own motion to locate. lay out, construct and maintain wagon roads and pack trails wher- ever they. in their judgment, may deem the same to he advisable and necessary. "

Alaskan legislation was up, Senator
Platt of Connecticut injected a pro-
viso in the delegate bill to the effect
that nothing therein contained should
be understood as sanctioning the be-
lief that Alaska should ever be admit

gratuitous expression of New Eng
land sentiment concerning the West
and her aspirations. such as is being
daily manifested in the discussion of
the present statehood bill. In oppos-
ing this bill and making a plea for
four States to be admitted when they
shall be ripe and ready. Senator Tel
Ter the other day declared that he
looked forward to the time, should
this be done, when Alaska. her vast
and varied natural resources fairly
developed, her valleys populous with
hardy and energetic citizens, would
apply and be admitted as the f1ftieth
State. Thus Alaskan interests may be
said to be looking up, though it be
slowly. The delegate bill. defeated
