Before the end of next week Puge Sounds codfishing fleet will have put to sea to spend the next five or six months cruising in far Northern wa ters, says Sundays P. I. On the eight or ten Seattle, Tacoma and An acortes sailing vessels in this ilotilla will be several hundred sturdy fisher- man, a majority of them sons of Nor way, who are experts in their occupa- tion.
 It is no child's play to get codfsh. Every fish must be caught with hook and line and hauled to the surface. Each master hopes to return with from 1OO GOO to 250, 900 fish each, and to catch, handle, clean and pack away a cargo of this size is no easy task.
 The fishermen work in one-man dories, some distance from one to tw enty miles off shore, as conditions may warrant. Each man has two lines, one on either side of the boat, while on edcH l1U6 df6 bWO HOOhS. IHc fishermen begin the season using her. ring as bait. With the herring they catch small halibut and the latter fish found the best bait for tempting codfish. The men are paid at certain rate for each 1000 fish hooked, so to make money fisherman must be ex pert.
 From Puget Sound the codishing feet makes for the vicinity of Unimak pass. During the first part of the season they work on the Pacific side of the pass, hut about July the ves- sels make for the great schools of fish in Boring sea. As a rule the schooners follow the land. They sometimes find themselves 250 mics north of Unimak pass, but as rule they keep fairly close to the land and get good results in Bristol bay. The fish are

The Washington Star in its issue of March 27, prints speech of the Hon. Wm. Sulzer, in which that gentleman sets up new claim for Alaska which seems to have considerable merit. A part of it reads as follows:
 Lecturing last evening before Me- Kinley Council, No. 992, National Union, on his trip in 1907 through Alaska and parts of Siberia, Repre- William Sulzer of New York declared that the key to the Pacific in the event of war with an Asiatic power is the Aleutian Island.
 The speaker said that in his opin- ion when Siberia is more fully settled it will be the granary of the world and will rival any country in the world in wealth. The trip took him within 800 miles of the pole. He told of the domestic life of the Eskimos, and the general conditions and industries of the land of the midnight sun.
 This lecture was the first of sev- eral entertainments to be given by the for the benefit of the council.

the nucleus of the holdings of Pioneer Quartz Mining company-the Bill Taft and North Star claims. To these properties they later added the Grims- more, Union and Rex lode claims.
 The company began to sink on its properties, and at 25 feet depth they were driven out of the shaft by SUI : face water seeping through the rotten bedrock, at which time they had the on lyreal showing of quartz of consequence in the interior of A Alaska. Their first average assay from 21s-foot vein ran nearly s4, GOO to the ton, and started the whole camp prospecting for quartz. Their second shaft is now down 85 feet, and at the 70-foot level POO feet of tunneling along the ledge has pro- duced showings unequaled by later discoveries in the vicinity.

Joseph Clark so years of age, whose great grand father, Abraham Clark of New Jersey, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. has heard the call of the Northland, where he prospected from 1885 to190S, and by the middle of this month he will be on the way to Alaska to locate and file claims on several deposits of iron he found years ago.
 Mir. Clark has been making his home with his daughter and nieces in Spokane since coming to the states last September. He was attacked by a strange malady while in the north seek a milder climate. Having fully recovered he is now arranging his affairs to Chit the trail" to Alaska where he expects to remain through out the season, returning before the freeze next winter.
 Joseph Clark is native of New York, born in Wayne county on Jan uary 20, 1929. He crossed the plains in 1857, going into Oregon and alter prospecting in the territory now em- braced within the boundaries of Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon he went to Alaska in search Of mineral riches.

So little is the real Alaska known to the outside world that old writers in the North approach with reluctance the telling of the stories of conditions and achievements here that. while so well known and consequently matter of-fact to us, we feel cannot be grasped by the innately skeptical residents of Cheechacodom, who will probably never consent to accept our Alaska as other than barren, cold and back ward, very rough diamond in the worlds possessions. Still, we must keep on writing the stories as they develop, and those who cannot appre- ciate them and the advantages they offer are the losers-not we. If our country's development is not on the hurry up order, ours will be the greater winnings and the longer con- tinued and rich prosperity of the pio- neers.
 So great is the placer wealth of the North that the question of quartz has never until now been seriously consid- cred in Tanana. In Yukon, old hard rock prospectors were the original placer miners and they could never believe but that the placer gold came from quartz formation. They searched long and fruitlessly for the "Mother Lode," and quartz fakers played upon the fact and brought quartz prospect ing in the North into disrepute.
 Since the Tanana was found, if man had a"hunch" that he could locate pay ing rock, he kept it to himself and pursued his quest in silence and secre- cy, to escape the jeers of his neigh bors. While, today, it is impossible to find a man who will not cheerfully take off his hat to the quartz era in Panama, and while no man has the courage to "knock" the prospects of a quartz camp to come, our quartz era seems to be only about three months old-it seems to have burst upon us in a day, as it were, and to have arrived as Adam did, ready made and produc- ing from the start. Facing this set m- ing absurdity we find that it only seems so-that while it has been build ing secretly and in hidden manner, 1t has been some time in the building.
 The first real find of high grade quartz in Tanana was that made last July on placer claim No. Chatham CT .ek, by w. S. Reese, who while working the placer noticed quartz cropping out of the bedrock. This c,used the ground to be located as quartz ground, and this claim formed
