Alaska, the Golden

Alaska the Golden is becoming a land of rare surprises. Neglected and abandoned for years as an almost out. cast territory. it is now rapidly com ing into it's rich and glorious heritage. If the present rate of progress is kept up for a decade, and there appears to be no reason why it should not con- tinue, Alaska will be found knocking for admission to the Union as one of it's richest States. There is enough quartz and placer mining in Alaska to keep half million miners busy for century; there is sutficient' coal, copper, and other minerals to keen busy another half million of miners for the same period, and, strangest of all to the uninitiated, investigation has shown that the fertile valleys of that far northern country will support 300, ,OOO prosperous farms and homes.

 Railroad development Is all that is needed to bring about wonderful transformation, and already lines of steel are penetrating into this new empire. Frederick IT. Chase, in a current review, says: Alaska has more gold than ever had California, Australia or South Africa it has more copper than twenty Buttcs; it has more hard coal than Pennsylvania, and 1t has more tin than Wales. The hay that rots on it's tundras and plains would fatten all the cattle that roam on the plains of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. And their the wild, fer tile, untouched plains and valleys await the ax, the spade, the blow, and the reaper of half million Amer. ican farmers"
 Three railroads are now being con. structed from points on the Pacific coast to the interior, and other pro- jects are under consideration. The roads now being built are the Alaska Central, from Seward; the Valdez. Yukon, from the head of Port Valdez and the Copper River & Northwestern at Cordova, on Cordova bay. The completion of any one of these roads to the Yukon means the opening tt settlement of all agricultural and min ing territory larger than Texas. But the primary object of the railroads ie the development of the copper ana coal fields, said to be among the rich est in the world.

 Native Copper
 On Kluvesna creek is the identical formation of greensboro carrying na- tive copper that is seen all over the Wrangell district. It occurs in bed ded planes, and sometimes, as on the Lakina, it can be followed for thous- and feet, and varying in width from few inches to 40 feet. The copper occurs usually in small particles scat tered profusely through the rock, but along the bed of the zone the copper appears in large nuggets, sheets and all kinds of fantastical shapes, as if the hot metal had fallen through wa ter and settled at the bottom of the pot. The large nugget on Nugget creek and the nugget copper which clogs the sluice rifles on the Nizina '''' ''"'' '" 'Nbf'''oil oIbBiu, WulCT VIII be found in the altered diabase, or as the boys in the interior prefer to call it--amygdaloidal greensboro.

This is not a very close saving, but serves to show what q field for concentration there is awaiting the enterprising mill man ir this unlimited field.

Walter C. Mcndcnhall, a gov. crnment gcologist, thus describes the property which was responsible for the later discoveries in the Nhittvna region:
 "Thc Nicolai mine is near Nicolai creek, q tributary of Mccarthy creek. and is situated i,OOO feet or more above timber line, at an elevation of 4,2OO feet. The country rock in the lower part of the creek is Triasac shale intrudcd by porphyry, but a great fault brings up the Nicolai greensboro, which forms the bed rock from the vicinity of the main forkg of the creek to point above the mine. On the south side of the gulch. Oppo- site the mine, the grccngtonc is op- posed by the uncomfOrmabl0 beds of the konnccott formation, but to the north the Chittistone massive lime stone is seen dipping stGcply into the mountains, and this is followed by the Triassic shades, covering large area betwecn Mccarthy creek and Nizina river.
