RICH VALLEYS IN ALASKA
MINERALS. TIMBER. FAT SOII
AND MILD CLIMATE.
Explored by John ROsenc In Laying out
Route for Central Alaska Railroad
500 Mile Trip In Unknown Region
Agricultural Possibilities Show n

TACOMA. Sept i0-John Rosene. who
first interested the Guggenheims in the
Copper River Railroad project has re-
turned from an exploratory trip through
central Alaska made to select route
for the Alaska Midland Railroad, which
he and English capitalists intended buy
ing. He left Haines in July with engi-
neers, guides and packers.
The expedition proceeded practically
due north going via Dalton trail to Dalton
post, thence to Lake Kluane, which they
found to be about fifty miles long and
ten miles wide, From kluane the party
proceeded to Doniek River. thence to
Generke River and so to the headwaters
OF White and Tanana rivers in the very
heart of Alaska. The distance travelled
with horses was over 500 miles.
Mr.. Rosene. speaking of his trip. says
The country we traversed is with the
exception of the region bordering on the
Arctic Ocean the most unknown section
of the northland. Ii is a region of broad
level valleys intersected Ivy mountain
ranges Of varying heights. Inside the
coast range none Of these mountains is
covered with snow in summer. The val
leys have rich black soil. Vegetation
grows everywhere in profusion. In all
the mountain ranges along these valleys
minerals are to he found. principally
gold, copper and coal. There is an abun
dance of timber.
Il am speaking Of n section OF more
than 900 miles in length by 100 miles in
width, say approximately l5o.O 900 square
miles. equal in area to Finland with it's
1000 900 people and over $50, ,Ooo. 900 annual
expectations Of agricultural products.
This territory is in the very centre of
Alaska and Yukon Territory and is most
favored with natural resources. agricul-
tural and mineral
Nevertheless transport alton facilities
are so poor that the few people who are
living there and trying to develop the
country have to pay from s2oo to 81 900
| a ton freight charges on the supplies they
use. The railway we expect to build
will reduce these charges by at least
nine-tenths and make possible profitable
occupations for many thousands Of
people.
Successful farming at Dawson. further
north. emphasizes Mr.. Rosene's state
| ments. One farmer At West Dawson
has a root crop this year Of 200 tons, in
cluding potatoes. Several tons Of toma :
toes have been ripened within a mile OF
| Dawson. Reefs. celery caulifiower
turnips. cabbaGes and other vegetables are
in splendid condition.
About 200 acres under cultivation near
Dawson has produced annually $50 tons
of potatoes and $50 tons Of other vege-
| tables. Strawberries grown in the open
cut some figure in the market this year
Raspberries. blueberries and currants
in their wild state grow in abundance.
The Yukon oat crop runs fifty bushels
to the acre.

Buffers estate is estimated at several
millions of dollars. He was born near
Dublin Ireland. in 1888 No man ever
welded a more potent influence on munic-
ipal legislation in St Louis than Edward
Butler 1t was this that caused his indict-
ment at the opening of the famed Doodle
crusade inaugurated by former Governor
Joseph W Folk when he was Circuit
Attorney in St Louis decade ago.
He was indicted on the charge Of brib-
cry, tried and convicted. The case was
appealed to the Supreme Court. where
il was reversed and remanded for new
trial At subsequent trial he was ac-
quilted, But he no longer took an active
interest in municipal politics and the
machine that he had built disintegrated.
His first occupation in this country was
that Of blacksmith. which trade he learned
