Also the laws pertaining to the fish and
fur industries A great many of the UNI
happy conditions now existing could be
remedied this way without the necessity
of appealing to Congress, which is SO I'M
familiar with our local conditions.
While mining is the most productive
work, representing in. wealth taken out
last year something more than $50 1000 O0N
the fish and fur Industries are tremendous.
The income from these last year total
nearly $4,000. 900.
Nearly everybody in Alaska mines. No
matter owhat other kind Of business he
may be engaged In, every man in our
country has some mining interests.
II have beenAoften asked why women
went to Alaska. I have been also asked
advice about their going into the 'coun-
try. I can truthfully say. while not at
tempting to offer advice, that scores of
them have made good and are interested
in some of the most thriving Industrial
concerns we have in Alaska.

There are any number of eastern col
lege girls who have gone to Alaska. Many
of them have married well. others have
accumulated fortunes in mining. 1 know
three sisters who went out there few
years ago. They all became interested in
active mining. They met with excellent
luck. One of them now owns bank.
while the other two prefer to remain in
the field and hunt for the golden fleece.
81 know several women who have be-
come financially Independent in various
enterprises in Alaska. Some Of them have
made a lot of money in the laundry bust
ness, which is always we'll patronized and
well paid for. Others have done well. in
deed, in the fur business. and scores of
women have made comfortable fortunes
conducting hotels restaurants and road
houses along the trails in the interior
1.-The opportunities for women who can
cook. sew. wash and bake are much bet
ter in Alaska than in this section of the
country. The wages for such employ
ment range from 500 to $3.50 a month.

laudable function of restoring Mount Yer

it is held that the society should now
