A willow which reaches t b e
height of two inches is the only
tree that grows on Spitzbergen.
Yet this barren and ice.bound Or
chipelago, which lies three hun.
dred miles north OF The North
Cape, is a regular Eldorado.
Once it must have had a eli
mate as warm as Africa, for the
cliffs are full OF coal, and it is
coal OF as fine quality as can be
found anywhere in the world,
There is gold there, too. A small
English syndicate was at work
there before the war, and did
we'll. Its marble is the finest
known, next to the very rare
and choice Mexican marble, and,
there is iron as we'll, in great
quantities.
Spitzbergsn is at present a
bone OF contention; but it is re-
ally British territory having been
90 since 1915,
No one yet knows what treas
ures the regions of eternal ice
may have in store for civiliza-
tion; but enough is known to be
sure that there is enormous
wealth OF mineral, gold and, pro-
badly precious stones around the
poles.
The United States paid Russia
81, 200, 900 for the whole vast
territory OF Alaska. People said
they. were throwing away mon.
ey; but as early as 1900 the am.
cunt OF gold alone recovered in
Alaska was $8,000,000 And A.
laska has silver, platinum and
other treas sures as we'll.
Greenland, that huge Danish
territory, has copper, lead, all
YER and tin. Flakes OF absolute.
ly pure silver have been picked up
in crevices along the Cliffs. Mass
es of almost pure iron are found
in Greenland. One which W q 8
brought to Europe was six and
a half feet long by five and a hall
feet thick, and weighed 5000
pounds.
Precious stones are also fOunc
in the Far North. One of the
most beautiful OF whatare called
the semi.precious gems is nance
"Labradorite." 1t is found ir
blue, green, golden, yellow, anc
sometimes just the color OF thu
