Roosevelt on Alaska.

It is not strange that the fierce
light which has beat on Alaska during
the past year should have brought
to the fore a number of mining and
exploration companies which are Of

milionaires through the investment Of

lar schemes Regarding these especial
chances to share In the millions of
Naska's wealth the writer has moth.
ing TO say: he is not able TO pass
on the merits OF any individual prop
osition for Investment, but there 40
no doubt regarding the vast oppor-
tunitics in Alaska for the adventur-
sus and cnterprising. As one of the
mining companies above referred to
very appositivcly recalls, eX-Presi'
dent Roosevelt in speech delivered
in Seattle in 1903 said:
Il predict that Alaska. w.tnln the
next century, will support as large
population as does the entire Scan.
dinavian Peninsula. predict that
YOU will see Alaska. with her enor-
nous resources of mineral, her fish
cries and her possibilities that al
most exceed belief, produce as hardy
and vigorous race as any part of
America"
The literature of the company
quoted also refers to the fact that
Alfred II Brooks of the geological
survey in March last supplied data
from whi,h it was estimated that
the total wealth # Alaska is Sl.513..
935. 100000. That means that If the
population of the United States
is l00000000 each inhabitant has
an interest in Alaska equivalent to
more than $4,000. This may sound
fabulous. but as matter of fact
the wealth Of Alaska Is being TAX
en- out Z the territory now at the
rate Of $4,000, 900 yearly which Is a
pretty good beginning, and the agri-
cultural resources have not yet been
touched Il should not be- very long
before Alaska produces all of its own
food supply. when IL is considered
thar the territory is said TO have a
pasturagc for $1,000, 900 cattle. The
western ranges are shrinking year
by year and even now are INSULT
cient in size to meet the needs OF
the ca,tlemen. Is 1t possible that
Alaska is some day - furnish the
