In case of war with any nation of the Orient the gold fields of Alaska would be at the mercy of the enemy. Alaska has a very long coast line without a single fortified harbor. There are a few military posts in Alaska, but each of these comprises only one or two companies of soldiers. These soldiers belong to the infantry and doubtless are stationed in Alaska for the purpose of being on hand in case of any local emergency or contingency requiring the use of troops. Southern Alaska is potentially a very rich country. It has wealth in gold, copper, coal and fish, and is destined to astonish the world. And the United States government should be forehauded enough to es' tablish a military base in this part of the territory. In course of time this will be done. But it should be done without unnecessary delay. Such ac- tion by the government would accel- crate the development of this part of the territory. It would give feeling of security to both prospector and capitalist who are pioneering in this region, and doing the preliminary work which shall make a very important addition to the worlds wealth.-Alaska Yukon Magazine.
