ating them horribly by spring. To
raise sheep successfully, warm, dry,
shelters would necessarily have to
be provided for them, and the ex-
pense would be too great to pay for
tic few animals that could be thus
taken care Of.
The practice of whalers and traders
in the old days was to bring up beef
cattle and sheep from the states and
where they speedily rounded out and
feshed up into the very finest beeves
by TIE middle or end of October when
they would be slaughtered. The ami
mails made considerable trouble for
the natives by climbing onto to the
roofs of the barabaras and caving
them in, to the great fright of the in
habitants AS soon as the owners
would leave many of the cattle would
be killed to prevent this, necessitat-
ing a caretaker so long as the ami
mails were on the islands.
With regard to the raising Of hogs
it is not profitable as the animals
roam the beaches devouring mussels
and fish TO such an extent that the
meat is impregnated making it unfit
for food Corn costs so much that it
is improbable to feed it to swine.
There are many sections of the ter
ritory where vegetables in abundance
can be raised, but not to profit, as it
is impossible for the farmers to COM
pete with the growers of the states
in shipping their vegetables, and the
rates would be prohibitive if they
could secure transportation. The To-
cal market is limited. one or two
small ranches Cutting the market,

OF land boomers are attempting to

possibilities in an agricultural way,

later bound to become disguised and
leave for the states, giving the teri
tory a black eye. Wages are high in
tho territory, which is another draw
back to successful farming. Feed is
from two to three times as high and
much as in the states per animal.
The intending settler can come to
Alaska with the assurance that he
can raise all the vegetables he wants
or needs for his own use. But he can
also rest assured that II he raises
more than this he will find no market
for his crops.
Probably the best agricultural dis

dry summers and very little snow in
the winters. allowing the farmer to
prepare his ground earlier. Both sec

both have no markets beyond few

There are thousands of opportuni-
ties in Alaska to make money-but

before truck gardening can be done
on a large scale. as the population is
too limited.

Everyone in Cordova knows of Gus Ohm. He started
Cordova with dory and ished for the local market

had number of other fishermen working for him. Bust
of the city became interested and he given
capital to operate large scale, and finally the Ohm
Fish and Packing Company formed, with him at
it's head.
Now MIR. Ohm is convinced that although he has
made of the company there is more money to
be made in salmon cannery than in fish packing, and
with the two who have been closely identified with
him in the Ohm Fish and Packing Company he has de-
cided to take the latter plant and turn it into
salmon cannery.
But to do this will require large sum of money.

MINES ARE MADE.
(Salt Lake Mining Review


Once in a great while surface de-
post of mineral is discovered from
which fortunes are recovered almost
from the grass roots. Such cases are
exceptional, however, and furnish no
logical precedent which should gov
ern regular mining operations, for it
is we'll known fact that "mines are
made" and not found.
1t Is true that groupings and lodges
are discovered, usually by the tireless
and indomitable prospector, that give
promise of becoming producing and
paying mines with exploitation and
development; but 1t usually takes
years and the expenditure of large
sums of money in development and
equipment before even a return OF
the outlay is made, If ever; for 1t is
not every cropping that covers
paying ore body, or a vein or ledge
that contains valuable deposits of the
precious metals or minerals.
This being the case, there is vast
difference between a prospect and
mine. A difference that is not often
realized by the prospector who upon
making discovery Of promising
prospect, allows his imagination to
fly to such an extent that he often
fools himself into the belief that his
bare location Is in reality rich and
producing mine, and he can not be in
duced to part with his prospect ex-
cepting at figures that would cover
the purchase price of dividend pay
ing bonanza; losing sight of the fact
that thousands must be expended be-
fore profits can be recorded, should
the prospect really be the making Of
mine
AT the present time an enormous
amount of capital is seeking invest
ment in promising mining property.
but is often baked and discouraged
because Of the exorbitant and ridicn-
lous prices at which mere prospects
are held by their owners.
The claim owner must remember
that the buyer Of his property Is will
ing to put up the money II there is
reasonable chance to realize on his in
vestment; but, he must also remem-
Der that mines are made" and list his
undeveloped holdings at prices which
will attract buyers who are willing to
put up the wherewith for extensive
and systematic development.

1t has become a matter of comment
about the senate that practically all
of the speakers in opposition to the
treaty and league Of nations are
greeted by applause in the galleries
when they conclude their remarks
Thus far there has been no noticeable
demonstration on occasions when the
undertaking has been defended by an
administration senator. Inasmuch as
the thousand or more occupants OF
the senate galleries, made up of tour
lists and others from all parts of the
country, may be taken as fairly rep
resentative of our whole population,
republican senators are interpreting
the applause as proof of their convic-
ton that there Is an overwhelming
sentiment throughout the country in
opposition to the league of nations.
