OF G0T. STRONG
A Cheerful View of the Outlook for Alaska's
 Future.

The report of Governor LEA. Strong to the Secretary of the Interior, 1915, is before us and it's 116 pages cover a wide range of thought on matters of vital importance Co the people of Alaska. It ! is a document worthy of perusal by all Alaskans and all who are iu any way interested in Alaska, because it sets forth the facts about this great North land not only accurately, but in that modest and convincing manner which cannot fail to carry conviction.
 The optimism of its pages starts with the first sentence, which declares that during the year Alaska has made sub stantial progress.
 ] The management of the mines of the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Co.,, in the handling of low grade ores at a profit, is justly given credit for the great development now under way in contiguous mines of the Juneau dis trict.
 The report mentions the Bonanza mine. of the Kenuecott Mines Co.,, in the Copper River valley, as one of the greatest copper mines in the world, but calls attention to the fact that all the ! copper and other refractory ores pro. duced in Alaska are shipped out of the territory for treatment, due to the un- developed state of the coal fields. The development of lode mines in the Panama country is also waiting for cheap coal to take the place of inferior wood at SIG per cord.
 The Governor asserts that the in- terior aud northwest sections of Alaska present an almost unlimited field for the operation of power dredges, with ! its hundreds of acres of low grade alluvial gold deposits, aud very prop erly adds that "the alluvial gold de- posits will not be exhausted in a cen- tury or more, and the gold, silver, cop per and other ores with which the whole territory is permeated, from. Ketchikan to Point Barrow, will not be exhausted for many centuries after they have been developed"
 In speaking of the agricultural pos abilities of the territory, the governor declares that the population is now coming to reclaim the wilderness aud establish homes. Inthe past year hun dreds of homesteads have been taken up, crops of various kinds have been planted, livestock is being raised dairies have been started, and an era of permanent agricultural development ushered iD.
 The agricultural possibilities of Alas ! ka are no longer a matter of doubt. ! The Territory offers to many people an opportunity of attaching themselves to the soil. It is an accepted fact that there are too many idle men in the cities of this nation and too many idle acres in the country. Alaska needs population in order that its many latent resources many be developed, and to do this access to the Territory's agricultural lands should be made as ! free as possible. The man who is anx-

in the manufacture of these products, it being argued that herring should be used solely for food purposes. It has been further charged by some that the activities of this plant have resulted in a decrease in the number of herring in the waters of southeastern Alaska. 1t is hardly probable that any serious de- pletion has resulted from the use of herring at the Killisnoo plant, but in view of the popular clamor for a dis continuance of the practice of using herring for the manufacture of fertil. izer and oil, it is believed advisable and proper to prohibit the further use of herring for such purpose, a reasonable amount of time being given to the concern to close up it's affairs.
 The Governor again recommends that Alaska insane patients be cared for inside the Territory; and says that it is expected that this recommendation will meet with the opposition of the present contractors, the Sanitarium company, but adds that such Opposi- ton is based on commercial reasons and not upon humane considerations.
 or the old age pension law passed by the Second Territorial legislature, he says that the act provides that any person, male or female, who has resided for 10 consecutive years or more in the Territory since 1905, and who has reached the age of 65 years, and who is unable by reason of physical disability to earn a livelihood shall receive an allowance not to exceed S125O per month from the territorial treasury. Thirteen applications for allowances were received and granted mp to Sep tember l, l9l5
 There is little doubt that the Kat ella oil field would become a large producer of oil with proper development, which it seems never to have had. Alaska petroleum, so far as it's composition is known, is a refining oil with parafin base and low sulphur contend.
 The Governor suggests as a partial solution of the Metlakahtla Indian puzzle that legislation is needed dedn- ing the political status of these Indians and to enable them to attain citizen ship, should they possess the necessary qualification. Anyway, surveys of the lands of the Annette island should be made and the Indians given title to them in severalty.
 In the line of preparedness, the Gov. ernor, as ex officio commander in chief of the militia of Alaska, calls attention to the fact that there is no militia, mainly because of the lack of appropri- ate legislation by congress. He says: CT have therefore to recommend that such legislation be enacted by congress as will make it possible to organize and maintain a force of militia in AL aska. The time seems to be opportune for such an organization. And if this be done a force of militia 1000 or more in nun Der can be enrolled, whose per sounel would comprise men of previous experience in the militia of various states and who are now seasoned Alas kaus.
 There are 45 schools for white chil- dren, in and outside the incorporated towns of Alaska. These schools em- ploy 1O5 teachers and enroll about 2,503 pupils. They are maintained at an annual cost of Sl6Z63292. Twenty five per cent of the Alaska fund is set aside

ious to till the soil is fairly entitled to every encouragement that the govern ment can give him. Unnecessary re- striction should be removed; he should receive aid from the government if he needs it, for a period of years, by the advancement of money to be returned at low rate of interest within stip- ulated time. But what about the markets for his product? These will be provided by the industrial develop ment of the Territory. It may be stated as postulate that Alaska is quite capable of producing all the farm products that will be needed by a pop. ulation of several millions, with the possible exception of wheat. And it is quite within the realm of probability that enough wheat can be grown to supply all the demands. The Nenaua valley is potentially the wheat field of Alaska. But it is, comparatively speak. ing, an unbroken wilderness.
 It has been estimated that Alaska has 3O,OOO square miles of agricultural lands, besides tracts suitable for grazing
 The white population of Alaska is now estimated at 44,OOO, an increase of 5000 in the past year, and the Governor fully believes that the ceusua of 1920 will show a population of at least 100000. Alaska in time will have a large population of fsherfolk, who, while prosecuting their marine occupa. tions, will also cultivate the land where they have found anchorage ground for their homes.
 The report calls attention to the enormous water powers of Southeast eru Alaska, and to their importance in the treatment of ores, besides furnish ing electric power for industrial and other purposes and the wonderful pos abilities in the manufacture of electro chemical products.
 There are sixteen incorporated towns in the territory: Cinema, Cordova, Douglas, Eagle, Fairbanks, Haines, Iditarod, Juneau, Ketcbikan, Nome, Petersburg, Seward, Skagway, Tanana, Valdez Wrangell.
 Since the purchase of the Territory in 1867 the products of it's fisheries have amounted to 5254, 4,OOO, ,OOO-almost equal to the total value of the mineral output during the same period. The Governor is not of the opinion that serious injury has resulted from what he terms con- mercial exploitation, yet believes that the government should operate all hatcheries and at the same time should exercise a competent and careful regu- lation of the fishing industry.
 There are five species of salmon in the waters of Alaska, which each year come in from the sea in countless nun bers. These five species, in their present order of commercial import ance, are red or sockeye, which is most plentiful in western Alaska; the hump. back, which is taken more largely in southeastern Alaska; the chum, or dog salmon, also taken more especially in southeastern Alaska; and the king or spring, and the coho or silver salmon, which species are widely distributed throughout Alaska.
 For years the Alaska Oil & Guano Go. has made extensive use of herring in the preparation of oil and fertilizer at Killisnoo, southeastern Alaska There has been much agitation as to the pro- priety of permitting the use of herring

each year for the support of schools outside of incorporated towns. The schools within incorporated towns arc maintained in part by license taxes laid by the federal government and covered into the municipal treasuries for the use of the municipalities, and in part by local taxation. The amount received from the Alaska fund for the support of schools depends upon what the business of trade licenses produce each year; it is therefore variable. Hitherto, the sum accruinR from that source for the use of the schools has been ample to maintain them. The average sum needed to maintain a school outside of incorporated towns is s2,0OO. There were 31 of these schools in the school year 19l4.l5, entailing an expenditure of S61, ,42692. Twenty five per cent of the Alaska fund may pro- duce s6O,OOO annually or it may not. During the present school year there will be at least 38 schools requiring ex- penditures of approximately S76,000. There promises, then, to be deficit in the amount necessary for their main tenance, and unless this deficiency can be supplied the only alternative left will be to close some of the schools or shorten the school term, which is now nine months.
 The development of lode mining in southeastern and southwestern Alaska on an extensive scale calls for the es- tablishment of a station at or near Ju. neau, which is the center of number of great mines To this station ores for assay could be forwarded from all points in coastal Alaska and miners and prospectors could then secure re. liable assays for their ores. These assays should be made free of charge.
 Mining began in Alaska in 1880, and since that time the Territory has pro. duced mineral wealth to the amount of S26S, ,l5OOOO Of this s244, ,156,OOO has been in gold, sl9,SOO,OOO in copper, s2,- 25l ,OOO in silver, S37OOOO in coal, and the rest in tin, lead, quicksilver, mar ble, gypsum, petroleum, etc.
 Reports of the four mines of the Treadwell group for 1914 contain a great deal of interesting information as we'll as plans of underground work ing. The years results are as follows: 1,O97,77O tons of ore and 6,247 tons of waste were handled, and new equip ment installed in the central steam electric power plant at cost of S183,- 562. At the Nugget Creek hydroelectric plant s39,OO0 was expended on trans mission lines and an addition to the Sheep Creek plant was built and large motors installed at hoists and mills. The cyanide plant treated 33,775 tons of concentrates from all the mills, the recovery being 96.86 per cent at cost of S276 per ton of concentrate treated. The assay office made 44,224 determine tions at a cost of 23.6 cents per sample. The number of men employed in the mines was LBS, the average wages paid being S3.43 per day. The average value per ton of the ore mined in the Mexican mine was S293 Treadwell mine S2S2, Ready Bullion mine s39O, and 700 mine S26O The value of the total output was s3 ,s42,378, and the average cost per ton was S1.43S2. The net profit of the year was sl,779,362. The Treadwell group of mines have paid S2O,0ll,3ll in dividends up to December 3l l9ll.
