Speaking of Alaskans, Mrs. Percy V.

 Alaska is going to get frightfully cheap. Most old-timers feared that the coming of tbe railroad would mark the beginning of a time of smaller wages and lower prices, and they were right, but let us remember that the railroad is not Alaska and that shovel. ing on grade is not the sole resort left open to Alaskans. The railroad will open new country.

 The Whitehorse Star says: A mum. Der of forest fires have been burning at points to the south of this place for the past eight or ten days, and in some places the government telegraph line has been more or less interfered with.

 In the geological surveys midyear review for 1915, Alfred H. Brooks re- ports that there is every reason to be- lieVe that the mining industry of Alas. ka has begun a prosperous year. The present high price of copper has en- couraged the continuation of develop ment work on many copper properties in which operations were suspended in midsummer of 1914. It is probable that about a dozen copper mines will be on a productive basis in 1915, compared with six in 1914. A considerable inc crease of copper production will there fore take place. The gold lode pro duction from the Southwestern Alaska, Prince William sound and William creek districts also Will be increased, The outlook for sn increased output for placer gold is also encouraging. There will be more dredges operated on Sew' ard peninsula this year then last, and it is also probable that several new dredges may be in operation in otheF placer districts before the close of Che season. In addition to the dredgea there are namber of other placer mining plants of considerable size that will be operated this year for the first time.
