Opportunities in Yukon
dawson News

In of the Oldest countries of the world
mineral wealth is just being discovered and
developed to great advantage That wealth has lain
there in virgin form while generation after genera
ton has trampled overhead. Men did not appreciate
the possibilities of the region They did not think
to test its contents Men schooed in modern meth
DDS of prospecting and testing of mineral bearing
areas laid bare the wealth.
In Yukon even greater opportunities obtain. Here
is land that practically is Untouched, and until
within the last two decades practically
pressed by the foot Of white The minerals
thus far discovered have beer in a few spots and

If, after centuries, older countries revealing
bonanzas, what greater rewards must be awaiting
the intelligent and persistent prospector right here
in this vast territory of Yukon with its 100000
square miles
The Klondike camp proper having diameter of
not more than fifty miles, has yielded upwards of
two hundred millions of dollars in virgin gold

adverse conditions of thawing the frost of by
highly expensive methods. Now the cold

creeks throughout the territory is brought into de-
mand.
Silver and other minerals lying the placer
creeks has been untouched during the twenty
more years of placer operations in Yukon, and just

many instances within a stones throw of the rich

will afford surprises to her prospectors. Those who
get busy will have the first opportunities in

GOOD WORK FOR ALASKA

The speech of Dr. Brooks at the Juneau Com
mercid Association luncheon Thursday full
of substance 1t came from true friend of the
Territory, from the best part of whose life
has been devoted to Alaska, and it with the
authority of who knows what he talks about.
The declaration that Alaskans should think of Ter
ritoria problems from a Territorial viewpoint, that
they should not be too ready to think in local terms
when approaching questions that the whole
North, the statement that Alaska should be gov
erned from within rather than from the National
capital, and the expressed conviction that the Fed
eral resources of the Territory should be admins
tered by a resident commission, constitute work
ing program that should be at the base of our
efforts at this time.
And the review of the resources, reasonable pos
sibities for future development and the ills that
beset the country presented with cearness and
comprehensive understanding.
DIR. Brooks is scientist who is also practical
of affairs. He knows Alaska thoroughly, and
he possesses adaptability that allows him to think
and work along practical lines. He has done and
is doing great work for this Territory.

How 1t Happened

A Canadian reader wants to know
how it comes that liberty-loving,
broad-minded people like the Ameri-
cans ever voted for the oppression
of prohibition. I Well, We'll tell you.
In the first place there was a
war waged against 1.-THE GROCERY and
a lot of people favored the efforts
of the Anti-Saloon League to close
the saloons
Public opinion favored the closing
of the saloon. The Anti-Saloon
League took another step and de-
manded that the manufacture of
whskey be prohibited.
Finding that it had enough legis-
lative votes to close the saloon and
kill whiskey, the league grew holder
and demanded the prohibition of the
manufacture of everything except
beer and light wines
Two years of wartime prohibition
enabled the league to go further and
demand the complete and absolute
prohibition that cut everything down
to one half of 1 per cent.
Cringing legislators and a cowardly
Congress were bullied and black
mailed into doing the bidding of the
league. Seventy percent of the peo-
pie are against absolute prohibition
but they are law abiding and are
marking time.

GET PAPER
OUT OF BAMBOO
English Experts are Now Making
investigations Concerning the
Pulp Resources in
India.

It seems likely that the graceful,
feathery bamboo will be pressed into
the service OF printing. w. Raitt,
celuuose expert to the government
of India, is at present in England In
connection with the development OF
the pulp resources of India and TO
obtain a pulping plant for the Forest
Research institute in India, says the
Christian Science Monitor.
The plant is needed for further
experimental work in investigating
new sources of paper making ma
terial.
, Mr.. Raitt during the last five years
has explored the whole of the coastal
belt of Burma, and considers there
is sufficient bamboo, with the savaIl-
nah grasses of Assam, to produce
100000 tons of dry pulp a year.
Bamboo, being a grass, its pulp has
many features in common with
esparto. and it can be used for all
grades of paper.
The total cost OF production would
not exceed one-half of that now being
experienced with wood pulp. The
Indian government has granted con-
DECISIONS to pioneer companies on
Extremely favorable terms, and Mr..
iRaitt feels that no permanent settle
ment of the papermakers' oft rec,E-
ring difficulties of supplies can pc
