 Exchanges.

In the early days, along in 120& 4-5-6, there was, small settlement on Admiralty island, near Juneau. the mae inhabitants being engaged, in a primitive way, in the mining of coal from outcrops, several of which had been found. Then came an executive order from the hands of President Roosevelt, issued in 1906, withdrayS-- ing all the coal and oil lands in Alaska. The inhabitants were there upon ordered to eeaseforthwith from mining any more coal on the island :. and they left for other parts. George Harkrader, a sturdy old pioneer, had minous coal and was engaged in sink ing a shaft on 1t when the harsh order came.- Harkrader kept right on with his shaft until depth of 180 feet had been attained. Eventually, in 1913, to be exact, Harkrader succeed ed in getting patent to l33 acres of coal land on Admiralty island. taking in the ground where the mine was To- eated. Then Harkrader sickened and died, leaving his coal property to his brother, who lived in Oklahoma. Not long ago James Nickersham secured an undivided half interest. in the property from the brother and se- cured an option on the remaining half. interest. Then Robert Donaidson.. oid- time Fairbanks mining man, at one time owner of the Healy River coal property, came into the picture. Don aldson was born and raised in the city of Nanaimo, British Columbia, a great coal mining town, and knows about everything there is to know, about that Donaldson had severed his con- nections in Fairbanks and was foot loose, and knowing his extended ex- perience in the coal mining business, he sent for him to come to Juneau and, make. an examination of the Harkrader proposition. Donaldson was impressed with the great possi- bilities of the fine coal prospect, and in company with Howard H. Lurch, who had accompanied him north, To- cated 2,273 acres of government coal land immediately, contiguous. to the Harkrader showing. In the mean time Wickersham took up the option

ture over the resolution intro. dueed by II. F. Kergin. member from Atlin, to bring about acquisi- ton of the panhandle, it was sug- gested that British Columbia could well afford to pay $7.200.000 for this strip of land about 40 miles wide and 900 miles long This sum would be equivalent to the entire amount United States paid Russia for the whole of Alaska
 American residents of this DOT. tion of Alaska, however, say il offers the most promising pros poets of America's northern hold ings. Immense stands of timber, much of it pulpwood, clothe the rugged shores of the panhandle furnishing a potential paper sup ply big enough to keep the news. papers of the United States in paper for years. The fishing in dustry is large and the salmon and halibut banks off the coast are among the finest in the world.
 An alternative proposal of the British Columbians, if the United States will not part with all of the panhandle, is to acquire Skag- way. front door of the Yukon, or have it set aside as an interna- tional port. This also has failed to arouse serious consideration at Washington.
 Skagway was once a roistering city of 15,000 during the gold rush, but it has dwindlel to a town of few hundred people. A narrow gauge railroad which clings to the precipitous mountain sides to cross White Pass into the Yukon is the principal source of income fer residents of Skag- way.

 Sills appears to great advantage and Betty Bronson adds much to the picture as a former stage dancer.

VANCOUVER, E. C.-Northern British Columbia may eventually get a harbor on the Pacific ocean as the gift of nature. even though proposals to purchase one from the United States come To naught.
 Most of the supplies for the rich but land-locked Canadian mining fields in the Yukon must now pass through Skagway or other Ameri- can ports and be subject 10 United States custom regulations. Ore must come back through American outlets. for shipment.
 The provisional legislature adopted a resolution favoring the breaking of this barrier by ac. quisition from the United States of the Alaska Panhandle. but the movement has failed to evoke sympathy at Washington.
 Meanwhile the melting of gla- cial ice at the head of Glacier bay is gradually opening. up 8 free water channel and already there is a small amount of navi- gable water inside Canadian ter ritory and the Panhandle of Alas ka has been cut in two
 For the present and perhaps for many years to come. the Cana dians will not be able to use this inlet as a harbor. Until the ice has withdrawn considerable dis tance and trails can be opened up into the interior it will be practically yalueless. Back of Tarr Inlet, the farthest north DOT tion of Glacier Bay, are glaciers of tremendous proportions and roads to the interior would have to cross immense moving ice fields.
 Since Captain George Vancouver first saw the region in 1794 the ice has rcceded 62 miles, shrink ing at the rate of approximately half mile a year until 1912, Since that time extension of open water northward has been slower, but Canadians are watching the opening Of ship channel in Gla- cier bay with interest.
 A thorough survey of the region was ordered. J. P. Forde, district engineer for the department of public works of Canada, upon the completion of his survey, recon mended that further recession of the ice be studied closely.
