Captain Amundsen, the discoverer
of the Northwest passage and the
south pole, made the extraordinary
prediction after leaving Alaska, sub
|sequent to his Northwest journey,
that the climate of Alaska would be-
come milder, and already this prop
hecy seems to be verified
The famous explorer wrote that
the great ice wedge which lay solid
between the Arctic and Atlantic
oceans was constantly moving to the
East and would eventually break
away into the Atlantic. This, he
said. would result in flowing of the
Arctic waters into the Atlantic, a
rush of the Boring sea water into the
Arctic and the flowing of the warmer
waters of the Pacific of the North
and Boring sea. Such would mean,
according to Amundsen, the change
for the better in Alaska's climatic
conditions. The ice wedge spoken of
was the remains of the solid ice which
formerly surrounded the north and
south poles.
To the remarkable alteration that
has come in our climate is added the
fact that ice appeared in the Atlantic
in unusual quantities and in pecu-
liar conditions last year, and one re-
suit of the fact was the loss of the
steamship Titanic. One would seem
to think it mostly likely that this
was due to the breaking of the ice
wedge into the Atlantic
This seems to be a far better ex-
PLANTATION of the mildness of the eli
mate than the story of the change of
the japanese current, and has the
authority of the worlds greatest ex-
plorer.

ment of ore. One hundred and fifty
tons of ore has been taken to the
bunkers on the beach and will be
shipped to Tacoma.
Nine hundred feet of surface
tram is operated from the tunnel to
a small bunker with capacity of 100
tons, and from there an aerial tram
of 1000 feet connects the upper bun
kers with the lower, which has a
capacity of 500 tons. 1t is estimated
that the ore will run $40 to the ton
Ten men are employed at presen.
and more will be added as work pro-
crosses The company have wcarf
$50 feet long, at which any vessel
running in northern waters can dock
as they have 26 feet of water at low
tide. The property will soon be-
come one of the regular shippers on

Governor Clark in discussing mat
| tiers connected with Alaska's destitute
white persons referred to a bill now
pending in Congress for the relief
of white indigents. 1t is a matter
that has caused much comment
throughout all the Territory. In the
interior, at Fairbanks and at Nome,
the Order of Alaska Pioneers, has
done much to relieve the distress of
old time prospectors. This work and
burden belongs to the federal govern
ment, the Governor thinks, and that
the men who have worn out their
physical strength in the development
of the country should be cared for
from the Alaska Fund in the Treas
ury of the United States. Governor
Clark said:
This is a season of the year when
we must regret more than ever that
no provision has been made for the
relief of restitution in Alaska AS is
we'll known the cases which are OBJ
jects of charity are comparatively
few in this Territory and usually are
the results of physical accidents. A
bill was passed by the Senate in May,
1911, setting aside five per cent of
the Alaska Fund for the relief of in
digent white persons. When l went
to Washington last winter urged the
House committee on territories to
take some action on this bill, which
had been pending in the House for
nearly a year. The Senate bill was
soon passed by the House, but in a
radically amended form.
"If the bill had taken it's natural
course it would have then been sem
to a conference committee of the two
houses with the object of reconci!ing
the differences and reporting It back
for final passage. So far as l can
learn no confer ,rce committee ever
actud ol the measure. l have gone
as far as | can appropriately in the
matter, but It IS res reattaDle thu this
| bill which has beec ne so nearly 4 Law
has not been finally acted upon"

The mine operators of the Tanana
valleyhave an opportunity of secur-
ing central power plant, with an i'm
mense capacity, if sufficient business
can be secured to keep it running.
John L. Timmins, who recently pas
sed through Cordova, is representing
"a Los Angeles company, with practi-
.cally unlimited financial backing, that
will contract for the delivery of pow
er at rate such as would make easily
possible the working of ground that
otherwise could not be considered.
The company will be prepared to sup
ply power in quantities as low as
horsepower and as high as $500 or
even more. In the smaller quantity
the rate would be such as to maize
the cost as low to the operator as il
he were getting wood into his boilers
at Sc per cord. To those able to con-
tract for $500 horsepower the power
could be supplied as low as cents
per kilowatt. To a company operat-
ing dredge therefore, the power
rate would be about equal, on a COM
parative basis, to wood at $3.50 per
cord. The plant at the Tatlanika
will be able to develop at least 1O,-
900 kilowatts, and will, in all proba-
bility, have much greater capacity
The engineer who will have charge
of the construction of the plant, Wal
ter Gordon Clark, put in the plant
for Treadgold, on the Boyle conces-
sion, and was engineer in charge of
the huge plant of the Victoria Falls
and Transvaal Power company at
johannesburg, South Africa. He is
acquainted with Northern conditions
and is very enthusiastic over the pro-
|ject. He came from Africa at the
behest Of a number of Los Angeles
and New York capitalists who had
been interested in the scheme for the
power plant near Fairbanks.
