comn,eree thereby adding greatly to the wealth and prosperity Of the nation as q whole. Seldom, in history, has a nation received d greater return from an investment, than has accrued to the United States through the purchase of this great depository of Valuables and it is fitting that if the nation is to commemorate at all such acts and deeds as rebound to the national glory and prestiage first credit should be given to those which bring their bene- fits through the ways of peace. Monu- ments are raised volumes are written and nations rejoice at some trifing acquisition won through victorious conquest, for all of which frightful price is paid in human lives and with commendation movement which tends 10 commemorate an event which while adding a resplendant jewel to the crown of our national glory also tends to elevate the thought of human kind to the degree that it shall be re- lcognized that the benefits won through the ways of peace, while no more val uable in a concrete sense perhaps. are worthy of nohler regard than those for which a bloody sacrifice is made.
 The suggestion of Congressman Kahn is most commendable in every

The total production of Alaskan tin mines since the industry started in 1902 is about 55O tons of metallic tin. valued at s432,0oO according to a re- port of the r <. geological survey. In 1914 one dredce was operated on the Buck creek placer tin deposits through out the open season. Two others were operated for a part of the season on Anikovik river. working on deposits carrying both gold and tin Operations were also continued and some tin was produced at the Lost river lode tin mine All these localities are in Sew ard Peninsula Tin was also produced from several deep placer mines in the Hot Springs district operated chiefly for the recovery of gold It is estimat- ed that nearly 30 tons of stream tin was recovered from these placers in 1914 This output could be consider ably increased, for only few of the miners make a systematic attempt to recover the tin.

Public-spirited citizens of Mccarthy are not waiting for the United States government to put patrols on the glacier trails, but have undertaken to prevent. if possible. any more tragedies such as caused Fred Youne's death. Two tents are being erected with d stove for each of the "mushers" along the dangerous part of the trail. which is near the summit The first tent will he ten miles beyond McCloud's roadhouse another ten miles further on which is very near the highest point From there on there is relief tent and roadhouses. thereby making the long dangerous stretch of the trail more passahle and safe. These short days a team heavily loaded cannot make a long distance. especially if the trail is heavy with new snow. and if caught at the summit after dark the men are forced to roll up in their robes in the snow until they are able to travel Storms which come Up at that point often cause travellers many days stop and much suffering.

A coMMENoAslE SUGGESTION

While the movement now on foot in the anniversary of the Alaska pur- chase as an annual holiday may be no more than an ebulition of that spirit for which the Sound metropolis is famous. at the same time the sugges- ton is one that should receive the hearty endorsement of every Alaskan
 In taking oyer this great Empire of the North from the hands of Russia the United States received bargain of and it's people as to be comparable to no other territorial acquisition within it's history, save, possibly, the Louisiana purchase For the modest sum of $72O0. 900, d part of which, it is inti- mated was paid in antiquated war ships, the nation received a value in vet unguessed. Already the wealth that has been drawn from this great na- tural store house has repaid the pur- chase price many thousand fold and this, despite the fact that nearly one third of the territory is as yet uneX- plotted and the more valuable indus tries are as vet in their infancy Dur ing the intervening years since that memorable day in May 1867, when Congress formally ratified the seward treaty Alaska has produced a wealth so stupendous as to bewilder the mind. Each succeeding year has witnessed an increase in production, the value of which has steadily mounted into the millions. until in the past year it reached the huge sum of forty millions. And. as a most significant indication of the future possibilities be it remem- hered. that over half of this immense sum was derived from only one of the many industries, the fisheries alone; which industry is itself developed on a most inhnitesimal scale as compared la the immense potentialites Though the medium or mineral pTOuuctloH alone Alaska's annually pays sum to the nation exceeding by nearly two hundred per cent the amount originally paid for the territory While there was grave doubt in the minds of most con corning the wisdom of William Henry Stewards great purchase at the time of it's consumation. the succeeding years have disclosed potential wealth within the confines of the territory of ineomparable proportions. over and over again Alaska has paid her debt 10 the nation and will for many decades continue to pour an ever increasing

The Alaska Ensineerins commission has figured out that it will build the railroad from the coast to Fairbanks in three years. and $5.OOO.O0O is all that will be used the first year. It looks as though the railroad is going to cost only about half as much as was appro- priated. This will mean that when the first line is built, there will be enough left to build an equal additional dis tanee We can then expect that the road will later be extended to the Yu- kon, and two or three additional years will be spent in construction work near this city. And in all that time, Fair banks will be growing Fairbanks Citizen
