Possibilities of NorthIand

"Circle is north of Dawson and no miles from the noted Panama country, now the most famous of Alaska's gold camps. There is an abundance of game very close to our camp, and in the shooting there is no limit with the exception of the caribou. In the in- stance of this animal, one of the prin- cipaI meat supplies we have, we do not shoot them for sport nor allow anyone else to do so, but each man kills as many as he believes will be needed for his sustenance during the winter. There was a band of 5000 caribou in sight of our camp last summer grazing upon the sides of the Crazy mountains. These hills, by the way, received their odd name from the fact that each peak resembles the other to such an extent that even a trained scout or trapper is in great danger of becoming lost when he enters their confines.
 i've have a large variety of vege- tables, and during the summer the twenty-four hours of sunshine add ma teriaIly to the rapidity of their growth. The government supplies seeds to any one desiring to experiment, and also keeps a record of the result. We grow very fine potatoes, beets, turnips, radishes and lettuce, and our cabbage cannot be equaled. It is an odd thing, but if you dig down into the ground four feet in one of these gardens you must always strike ice.
 Farming is gradually becoming a possibility. Barley and oats are grown, the former seeming to thrive better than any other grain. saw a field of timothy hay last summer thirty-siX inches high. There is plen- tv of wood in the neighborhood of Circle, and we use it for fuel alto gether. "-C. F. McGrifr.

 These miners were entombed by a cavern on December 4, and food was supplied to them through pipe.

Potatoes Thrive We'll in the North

"Few people realize that Alaska is one of the best agricultural countries on the North American continent, said James II. Arden, of Dawson, says the Tacoma Ledger. "Of all the many developments Alaska has witnessed, the progress of agriculture has been the most phenomenal. Like all other great movements, iJ has been an evo- Iution of years. When the potatoes of the states were planted in Alaska the first year, the product was a sour, watery spud which was anything but inviting even when one was hungry, But men took the first years crop, watched the seasons and planted it under a little different conditions. The next year further improvement was made. and the next and so on until today there is produced in Alaska an acclimatizcd variety of the Burbank Murphy which beats anything raised in the states all to pieces. I would rather have an Alaska spud than the choicest Ohio potato ever produced in the Mississippi valley. But not only do they raise potatoes in Alaska, but they raise every other vegetable and small grain common here and the crops are always bumper. Fruit does not thrive up there on ancount of the danger from summer frosts. The wild fruits of Alaska make up for the lack, how ever, and some of the wild fruits which grow in abundance have the most delicate and exquisite flavor of any thing produced by natue."

Concession for Miners

Through number of reliable sour- ces it has been learned that Delegate Gale will devote a great deal of time during the coming winter in an effort to get the United States government to petition Russia for grant of min eral land in Siberia which would be open for Amrican prospectors. Natu- rally Alaskans would reap the great est benefit were any concession made by the ear, and it is undoubtedly in the interest of the people of the North land that Gale is working.
 If it can be arranged a representa- tive will be sent to St. Petersburg be- fore the winter is over, his instructions being to get the best terms possible from the Russians and to reach some agreement as soon as possible. It is more than likely that Frank II. Was key will be the delegate selected.
 Some of the most noted mining engi- neers of the age have pronounced Si- beria to be the most richly mineral ized country on the earth, and that ali that is required to demonstrate its great wealth is the giving of conces- sions to American miners. The North eastern Siberia company is the only American company now allowed to op- crate in Sibera and they are limited to fifty men. But the rich placer ground discovered by them in the Anadir country, last summer is evi- dence of the future greatness of the country, and demonstrates the value to Alaskans of any concession which is granted by the Russian government.

at all correspond with Mr.. Bryan's idea
