so far as the south is concerned,
with an offer to release the political

Negotiations to this end now are

NEW YORK MONEY. FOR INVESTMENT. IN ALASKA PULP
Sutherland Wires for lnfor- nation for Benefit of
 New York Capitalists.

New York capitalists are seriously considering making investments in Alaska pulp resources, according to telegraphic information received by the Juneau Commercial Association from Delegate Dan Sutherland, ac- cording to an announcement made this morning by President Allen Shattuck. of the association. Dele gate Sutherland has been asked by the customers to furnish them with much information regarding condi- tions on the Alaska coast.
 Much of the information desired has been asked for by the Delegate from the local commercial organiza- tion. Realizing that the Alaska prod 6ct will have to compete with that of British Columbia and Puget Sound the prospective investors de sire to ascertain if it will be pos sble for them to manufacture pulp on a basis that will enable thcl1 to put it on the states markets on terms of equality with other man. ufacturerS.
 The Juneau Commercial AssoCia- tion has been asked to give Delegate Sutherland information relative to labor conditions, wage scales, etc, for comparison with those of both British Columbia, Puget Sound and the Interior.
 MT. Shattuck said today that the desired information would be fur nshed the Delegate as completely as possible. "Conditions in Alaska, particularly in this section where timber for pulp and water power to drive the mills are most readily ob- tainable, will compare. more kthan ia vorably with those in either British Columbia or the Puget Sound dis tricts The opportunity here at tfis time should prove to be particularly inviting to investors and our CT ganization is only too glad to fur- nish the Delegate or anyone else with any information wanted

Good prospects of gold and silver quartz have been discovered on Zaremb0 Island about twenty miles from Wrangell, according to Tom Baker, veteran prospector of this city.

They will go to the scene of the strike as soon as more snow goes off the ground and do considerable pros pecting work, MT. Baker said today.
 More than four years ago, Ed Cox took samples from a ledge on the island but never had them as sayed He kept them in his cabin in Junaeu until last winter when he invited Baker to look them over. After looking at them Baker pro- the rock found to run $S2 a ton in gold and ounces in silver.
 As the result of the assay Baker and Cox accompanied by their friends Shotridge and Sholin went to Zarembo Island several weeks ago and had no trouble in locating the vein from which the samples were taken. They located the four claims all adjoining each other on the southwestrly end
