He left here on January 25 in a dory to go across the bay to cut wood and has not been heard from since He had provisions for q few days only and it is feared some accident may have bcfallen him. He is an Old-timer and we'll able to care for himself but if i'm Jured he must long since have starved. It is of course possi- ble he may have joined others who were better supplied or have
 gone to Ellamar, although in- quiry has failed to gain any in- formation as to his whereabouts.

DRAKE SCORES
 SEATTLE SPIRIT Says Seattle Willing to Take All But Gives Nothing Tn
 Return

A copy of the Vancouver World has been received which contains an interview with Sydney Drake, of Valdez, who is now on the out side financing the Cameron Johnson property. He scores the business men of Seattle for be- ing self-centered and selfish in regard to Alaska's trade. They arc willing to take all Alaska has to offer but unwilling to give any thing in return. We quote d DOT lion of the interview which will be of interest to our readers:
 '"Wc are looking forward to closer trade connections with Vancouver, and as soon as the present negotiations, looking to- wards the continuation of such a scheme, are brought to a success full termination Vancouver will see Alaska's gold coming this way"
 Discussing the mining situation at Valdez MT. Drake stated that the Alice group of mines, owned by Vancouver capital, had open ed up a i2-fOot claim only re- gently with much success. Min ing in the Valdez camp, as a mat ter of fact" explained MT. Drake, "is ready entirely in the hands of Canadian interests, chiefly Van couver and British Columbia in tercsts at that. Our own claims have produced most handsome specimens that showed very sat- isfactory assaying results, and I have brought here samples to be tested by Canadian assayers, whose reports arc very gratify- ing indeed. We are now making preparations for the installation of ten-stamp mill and we hope to have things in fine running shape before the spring is over:
 Alaska is still a very lucrative field for the miner, no matter what some disappointed prospect ors may have to say on the sub Jcct to the contrary. Of course, the boom days are over, but min ing is better off for that because H. Is settled to a permanent basis HOW with everything running in orderly fashion, without the fcv- rrish excitement and inflated val uati"ns of gold rush days to in i"rf"rr with the bu;iness-likc conduct of transactions. The Yu- knn territory is also doing ry- trcmrly well and there is every in dicatiOn that conditions will not alone keep on being normal and satisfactory, but increase in healthy proportions, instead of by sporadic leaps and bounds"

ALASKA WILL SAVE THE DAY.

ClatlOn, an organization cOmpOS- ed of more than 1000 members, fear that the people of America are facing a beef famine. They believe beef is either going to be so high in few years that it will be beyond the reach of the aver age man or it will be forgot ten and extinct luxury. The graz ing lands of Iowa arc a thing of the past. The plains of Montana, Oregon and Idaho have been brought under cultivation and cattleraising, on a large scale, re- stricted to a limited area. The same conditions apply to Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
 In viewing the situation re- garding the future supply of beef the Iowa cattlcmcn have forgot ten to fake Alaska into consider ation. Alaska has in the past been a good market for outside beef and doubtless will continue to be for a few more years to come. The time is not far dis tant, however, when home grown beef will supply the local mark cts and in a few more years Alas ka will be exporting beef. Just as soon as people realize the pOssi- bilities of the valleys of Alaska for stockraising the importation of beef will cease. The thou sands of islands to the westward will some day be stocked with cat tie which will supply the markets of the Pacific with fresh beef and will make fortunes for those who engage in the business.
 StOckraising has been attempt ed in a deSultOry manner at a few places in the older settlements along the coast and the herds have increased although neglect ed in a manner which would have brought ruin to cattlcraisers in the western states. Experience and intelligence will prove the key tO success as is demOnStrat- ed at the experimental farms.
 A Fairbanks exchange recent Iy contained an article dcscrib- ing the success of a rOadhOuSc man who engaged in cattle raiS- ing to supply the miners of the Circle district with fresh beef. He has had splendid success in inc business and his herd is rap idly increasing. II" claims Alas ka has many advantages over Norway for stock raising and af- fOrhs the best market in the world. In Norway, as in interior Alaska. it is necessary to provide feed for six OF seven months in inc year. On the islands tO the westward the season during which cattle would require to be prOvid- cd for is short and would not cx- ceed two months. The islands arc not subject to the rigorous cold of the interior, but at visited by high winds and slrrt from which me animals should be protected. It is only a matter of experience and intelligence being applied to battle raising on Alaska's islands and the question of the beef sup ply for the Pacific markets will be solved.
 If the Iowa cattIcmrn who take such a gloomy view of the future could br induced tO visit the is- lands and valleys of Alaska and consider the possibilities of stockraising they would not be troubled by fears of shortage of beef for the future. Water transportation is always cheap and the Panama canal will enable Alaska beef to bc placed on the Eastern markets in competition with meats from the middle or western states.
 Alaska will save Inc day for stockmcn if the grazing lands are not conserved as our other re- sources have been.
