That Alaska Is a country OF possibili-

but scratched, and with enough territory
to make SIX great states, each richer
than any Argonaut's dream, is the bur
den OF MAJOR General A. w Grccly's
ncw Handbook OF Alaska"
Ii is generally conceded that General
Greely knows as much, If not more than
any other man about Alaska. He
states unequivocally that agriculture IS
longneglected opportunity. and that
the man who takes up homcstead Cherc
now in either the Susitna, Tanana or
Copper River valleys is laying the foun-
datlon for comfortable fortune As
the land laws with regard to homestead
ing now stand, the path OF tho settler
is made both easy and profitable and tho
markets arc opening Mp rapidly. While
mining was unquostionably the medium
for introducing Alaska to the nations.
the bulk OF its wealth IN the future will
be drawn from its coal, It's farms. ITS
lumber and countless other resources.
A country that cost seven millions and
has so far turned IN to its purchasers
over three hundred millions deserves
well OF its owners, and that is but fore
taste OF what Alaska can do. and will

INFINITE quantity and quality that even
the vaunted Pennsylvania fields look
mean by comparison, and when the cum

machinery can be induced to allow the

Arctic Circle, can be depended upon 10
furnish returns The Handbook OF
Alaska will go far to removing the
silly beliefs that the country is land OF
snow and ice, for, as is shown. il is men
toned as an incident that Juneau. the
capital, is in the same latitude as Edin-
burgh, and that the agricultural condi-
tons are precisely equivalent. and in
some cases superior to Norway and
Sweden. Also in many cases the coun-
