Madame Ristori who died in Rome
Tuesday at the age of "a was scarcely
known to the present generation of
play-goers, for she retired in 1885 after
thirty years of admirable service and
well merited success on the stage. She
was one of those queenly women who
give dignity and worth to profession
which can give no other guarantees of
enduring fame than the respect and
admiration Of the generation that saw
their triumphs.

Big Conner Mines.

There is no doubt however, but that
there is an enormous amount OF copper in
Alaska. In the Commercial club here little
bags Of copper nuggets, ranging from the
size Of a pea TO that OF a mans fist, are
shown. II Is said that a nugget was re-
Gently discovered some distance back from
the coast which weighed about six tons. II
Il were where It could be shipped It would
be worth $500 or 5000 but as II Is now, Il
would not bring 500 cents. All this stun is
merely the off-scouring OF the quartz mines,
In which the real money is. The speci-
mems shown came from along the Copper
river, where, l am told, the ore carries
from 80 to 70 per cent OF pure metal and
is far superior TO that Of the chief copper
regions OF the Rockies.
Our government biologists have found
copper In nearly all parts Of Alaska, but
the best prospects 50 far are in the Ketchi-
kan district, Cook inlet district, at the
head OF the Duncan canal. in the Hetta
inlet and In the Copper river basin. The
latter occupies an area as big as Washing
ton state, and II will some day be shipping
copper all over the world. The Alaska
Copper company is operating on the Hetta
inlet. II has completed a 25o-ton smelter.
a water power plant and a 5000 cable tram.
Other claims are being developed in the
same region by the Alaska Industrial COM
pany.
Seattle acts as though It owned Alaska,

and 1t is really making more profit out of 1t
than any other part of the union. This
city took a jump when the gold regions
were discovered and 1t has had on its
seven-league boots ever since. Every man
who goes there pays his toll to Seattle, and
every ton of goods consumed does like
wise. A large part of the money from the
mines is invested here, and, indeed, II is
said that Seattle has received more than
$25, 10000 Of Alaskan gold in real estate
purchases and in the natural profits of
trade Every dollar that Is spent in the
far west, whether in Mines railroads or
trade. is reflected in business channels
here, and the people are just as anxious to
build up that country as their own state.
The trade of Alaska is now worth some
thing like S4o,OO0000 a year, and 1t steadily
increases
There are a number of steamship lines
which connect the Puget sound region with
the various Alaskan points. There are reg
ular boats from Seattle to Juneau, Ketchi-
kan, Haines Mission, Sitka and Skagway
There is one line to the Gulf Of Alaska,
which calls at Valdez and elsewhere, and
another which goes up along the Alaskan
peninsula to Dutch harbor A third COM
pany connects Seattle with the Seward
peninsula. You can also go by boat to the
Nome region and there are river boats on
the Yukon.
At the same time Uncle Sam is doing all
he can TO better our communications with

CORPORATIONS in AIaska.

A great deal OF capita. is coming into
Alaska from all parts Of the United States.
Nearly every big industry there is owned
by a company represented by capital in
other parts of the union There are more
than $50 different corporations listed in the
Almanac OF the Alaska club here, covering
every kind OF investment from FISH packing
to fox raising There are numerous mining
companies, trading companies and compan-
les for opening up coal and petroleum prop
critics. Many OF the institutions are small,
but others are backed by large capital. This
is so with those owning the copper depos-
It's which are said TO be in the hands Of
the Havemeyers and Rockefelers. The
same parties who have copper interests in
Montana and along Lake Superior have got
ten hold OF the mines In Alaska, and they
are not anxious TO have them developed
until the market will enable them to do so
without affecting their investments in the
United States proper.

Some Farming Possibilities.

There are said to be excellent grasses
on many Of the Alaskan islands, which
may eventually be used for feeding cattle
and sheep. 1t is believed that the Gallo
way and West Highland cattle can be &C
climated there. and also the black-faced
Scotch sheep. The Agricultural depart
ment already has four experimental sta
tons and IL expects to open up farm in
the Copper river valley this summer, where
It will carry on experiments in raising
grain. The hay possibilities are said to be
great, the market being the towns and
mining camps. which are now largely sup
piled with stock food at enormous freight
rates.
Fruit experiments are also being carried
on In the government station at sitka.
where 5000 Seeding apple trees have been
started from hardy varieties brought in
from Minnesota
On Kadiak island the climate is, should
say, much like that of the FalIlands. A

head Of cattle and sheep there and they
find thier own food winter and summer

Considerable railroad building is now go
Ing on in Alaska, The Nome and Arctic
railway is being operated for twelve miles,
and the Solomon river and Council City
railway almost as far. The road over the
pass from Skagway to White Horse has
a length Of 112 miles, and the Alask
Midland is projected but not yet begun;
II will go from Koyukuk to the Seward
peninsula, a distance Of 1900 miles. There

which It is proposed TO build across Behrlng

rail to st. Petersburg and Paris.
One Of the most important OF the rail-
roads now under construction is the
Alaska Central, which begins on the Pa
cihc coast at Seward and goes due north
through the heart OF the country, open
enormous territory. It will be 400 miles
long, and will make accessible a virgin
country as big as all New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois combined This is a region OF
mines, timber, and It is said OF agri-
cultural possibilities. The road has al
ready been built from the Pacific ocean
$50 miles northward, and there are 800
men al work now IN the various con-
struction departments. The payroll Is
about $4,000 a month and more than
100000 per month has been spent during
the past year by the purchasing DEPART
ment. The first $50 miles will be opened
to freight and passengers by July 10. 1905,
and II will then have regular steamship
connection with Seattle.

something like 100000. These bitches are
necessary to placer mining, the water being
carried up and down hill, through iron

Temperate Region.

We usually look upon Alaska as all snow
and ice. This is so with the greater part
OF the country, but not with the Alaskan
Islands and the strip of land running along
the south coast. The climate there is such
that boats can run all the year round, and
the most Of the region is no colder than
Washington, d. C.. Indeed, the Eskimos
and other Indians of that part Of our terri
tory would laugh at the idea of using snow
shoes. They have no sledges nor reindeer,
and they are troubled more with rain than
ice. Even in southeastern Alaska. where
they occasionally get cold breezes from the
Arctic. the mercury seldom drops to zero,
and last year the lowest temperature at
Juneau was degrees above that point.

1t is believed that Michigan will not re-
main in the Western Conference Intercol-
legiate association another season. 1t is
declared that the westerners, who are
champions of the conference, will affiliate
with the Eastern intercollegiate associa-
toin, more commonly known as the Mott
Haven intercollegiate, and will compete for
the track and field title in this section
The underlying reason for this is declared
to be the fact that legislation on athletic
sports out west is declared by Michigan
authorities to be directed at them and them
| alone. The three-year eligibility rule, which
bars a number Of good men now in col
lege and which should not be retroactive is
the chief cause of this determination.
IF the conference cannot beat Michi-
gan any other way" said a Michigan man
last week, referees rule men off the foot
ball field and disqualify track men. At
least that is the way It looks from this end
Michigan has a track team that would
probably be able to beat the entire field
| punched together next season. but the con-
ference representatives have declared Gar
rels, Ramey, Stewart and Curtis ineligible
for next spring. That makes a loss of
about twenty-five points. Manager Baird
says that he does not favor an immediate
withdrawal by Michigan. but says that the
| Wolverines certainly cannot remain pas
| sive and see the continuous passing of
rules that are unjust and have all the
earmarks Of being aimed at Michigan"
Michigan sent some men to the intercol-
legiate games several years ago. Fish
leigh and Dvorah were the prominent per-
formers. II Michigan should decide to send
men east next year there would be a chance
| to thresh out the disputed points Of su.
premacy in intersection athletics. Michigan
