Wonderfully has Alaska come to the front since it's purchase by Uncle Sam. when il was considered by many IS merely an adjunct of square miles of snow, a deplorabe ccountry which Eugene Sue selected as the resting place for his Wandering Jew, and the occupations of whose natives was, ac- cording to Bret Harte, "There by day theg hunt the ermine, and by night another yermin.
 Now it can boast of the Treadwell and many other great mines Vast areas of gold placer mines have been discovered. some of which are about to be developed on gigantic scale by the Guggenheim ditch of the Yukon Gold company. This ditch is to he e5 miles long with a flow Of 10 inches of water. IL is to run within six miles of Dawson and four miles of Bonanza creek. By it's means creek bottoms will be dredged and hillsides mined hydraulically at the cost rate of ? cents Der yard, which allows a profit in that region.
 1t Dome, g miles from Dawson, great expectations are offered by a tunnel TOW in progress to strike the interior Of a mountain which is be- lieved to be rich in gold quartz.
 The intense cold of Alaska is said to become net unpleasant when people get used to it, and the rest of the year is delightful. The soil is deep and very fertile: vegetables and cereals are grown ard ripeu. Many placer dig gings are doing we'll in various parts.
 Much is looked for in the develop ment of great copper deposits, such as those on Prince William sound, on Eyak. Lake Cordoya. and at Ellamar on Virgin bay, where a veritable mountain of copper ore is reported, assaying as high as :5l. 20 at the. Taco- ma smelter. On Latouche island is the Big Bonanza copper property, 50 miles 'east of Seward and b miles norteast of Seattle. This property is also said to be solid mountoin of ore, some shipments netting s55. D per ton.
 Prince Willm sound is also showing extensive copper beds.
 4 great necessity to Alaska has been rectified by the discovery of coal in quantity and quality far exceeding expectations. Good deposits of excell- ent coal hnve been discovered coutigu- ous to the Pacific and Arctic shore lines accessible for economical trans portation.
 Take it all around, Uncle Sam was not much off in shrewd speculation when he invested in Alaska and added it to the United States. Mining Science.

Survey with the revised map of 1908, tue feid work for which was compile teG this season by C. r. Eherly and party. Of the Survey. affords strik- ing graphic illustration of the growth of one of the remarkable Pacific coast cities. The map made in 1893 shows the city limits as including several square miles of hilly country, with no houses or streets and probably but a trail here an there to an isolated cabin in the forest. Now this area is occupied by paved streets and thous- ands of buildings. Of course. it might be stated simply that the population bad doubled or trebled in the last few years, or that the huilt-up areas had increased fourfold; but the new map of the city, when compared with the old, tells in the most comprehensive way the story of this unusual growth.
 1.-The topographer, when detailed to do revision work, expects to find new streets, new railroads. and many new buildings said Mr. Eberly, "but just little experience leads him to believe in the stability of the hills and the cunstancy of the water supply. It took Duwamish River some time, even geologlcally speaking, 10 partly fill in the area just south of Elliott Bay. The map of 1893 shows this area as tidal flat. The map of 1908 reveals the fact that man has hurried this IT, ing process so that at present there are GIT square miles of made land here, the portion of the map repre- senting this area being black with the lines and squares that represent mil lions of dollars of time, energy, brains. and material. In retaining this fiat parts of tte hills have been conveyed there. greatly changing the topography of the highlands.
 "A map of the world shows Seattle as great commercial center; maf of the State of Washington shows that it is located on district of great natural resources; the map of the city and vicinity reveals an ideal location as residence town. Because of these things it may not be exaaggeratior to say that the city was born great In the future, as the center of popula- tion drift. westward, Seattle may be come the great Pacific coast city: the loyal Seattle citizen will take oatt that it can't be otherwise-and whC can tell?

Socialism was the chief topic of discussion by Bishop P. T. Rowe, in charge of the work of the Episcopal church in Alaska, in an address given in the Methodist church Saturday night The bishop has just returned from the Pan-Anglican congress and the Lambeth conference, held relently in the city of London. The former was composed of six delegates from each diocese in the Episcopal church, and delegates came from all parts of the civilized world. The Lambeth confer ence meets every ten years and is at- tended only by bishops of the Episcopal church. h both of these gatherings topics of current thought were dis cussed. Socialism was the subject which attracted the most attention and the Episcopal church placed itself on record as in favor of what, in it's opinion, is true socialism-the social ism of Jesus Christ which insists that every man should have an opportunity to make the best out of life for him.
 self: that man should do unto others as he would have them do unto him. The speaker said that socialism in Germany was doing good work Tn se- curing reforms in the government, but this was not exact the form of socialism the church advocated. There is also form of socialism which is aparchistic in it's doctrines another which is atheistlc. and still another which calls itself socialism but which is in reality communism which desires to do away with all forms of govern ment. Socialism is recognized as perhaps the leading question with which the church has to deal, and it was decided to endeayor to lift these various phases and numerous inter-
 pretations of the theroum of socialism into concrete edoctrine-founded upon the mode of life of the lowly Naze- rine-and work for it's accomplishment
 At meeting in one of the largest halls in London the subject of social ism was on for debate It was desired to have the matter discussed pro and con. Great difficulty was had in finding any leader in the world of thought to advocate 'Individualism, which is opposed to Socialism,. Finally, a professor of Cambridge University said that while he had DO belief in

This is the largest shipment of mail ever sent from Seattle and con- tains the collection since April l. She also had on 500 cases of eggs.
 One of the interesting features of the trip as rpeorted by Captain E. L. west and PuI,ser Geo. H.

A recent report in Seattle paper gave an account of the articles re- ceised from Alaska for exhibit at the 1. |. P. F.. and it was noticed that the Ketchikan schools were poorly represented. Professor Grimm wrote to fird out the reason for the omission and a cablegram today notified him that but a small portion of the exhibit had arrived
 This is disappointing piece of news to the schools as the entire exhibit was made at the one shipment and to have but small part ci it arrive seems unacceptable. Mr. Grimm has started tracer out to look it up. All of the industrial work clay modelling, weaving etc. is missing and if not found will simply spoil the exhibit.
