COULD HAvE BOUGHT
 k{NNECOTT AT 0NE
 TIME FOR A HUNDRED

There have been a number of accounts of the sale of the Mother Lode copper mine at Kennecott from which the Guggenheims have taken millions after building a rialroad costing s2o0O0Ooo to bring the ore to tidewater at Cordova, says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 One of the unpublished stories is an offer that was made to M. D. Ickis of Ketchikan to sell the mine for slO0 by Chief Nlckoli in the year of 1898,
 MT Ickis. who has mining in- terests in and around Ketchikan and near Hyder. was sent with a party of 23 men who went to Valdez that year, thinking that would prove the shortest land route to reach the Klondike gold fields.
 They freighted in their supplies during the winter over the Val deg glacier, as Thompson pass was not used until later, and got as far as the Nebesna river before the spring breakup caught them. It was not until the following win- ter that they reached Dawson.
 During their trip they met Chief Nickoli. He described the noun tain of copper now known as the Kennecott mine and offered his Indian titles to the place for S1OO with which to buy white mans food"
 The same year Colonel Willard and George Hazelet and other old timers were busy making trails and prospecting and it was a lit- tie later that the diggings on Slate creek were discovered.
 Speaking of the hardships Of those early days and the unknown dangers ahead, MT Ickis said ono could hardly realize the great changes which have taken place since then.

 LOOKS INTO FUTURE

Again the Gateway IS indebted to MT. and Mrs E. R. Eddins Of St. Louis, Mo-, who have vi ted

 JOUR HAPPY ALASKA"
 This is the time Of the year when we always expect to hear a good deal about Alaska, through officials channels, of course. The production of it's fisheries fell T per cent for the year, but 1t is more than 25 per cent larger than five years ago, and the to- tai, $50, ,795,819, would be consid- cred a mighty addition to wealth anywhere, whatever its origin. In this industry more than s l,00O,- 900 is invested and 25,OOO persons are employed during some part of the year
 Out of the country was shipped S36,914,722 more than was ship ped in, according to reports, rel presenting it's balance of trade Its $o0,O00,OOO railroad, which we all own, is a bill of expense to MS but its 57O miles are a great convenience. Its population in- crease is placed at only about
 4500- Nevertheless, considering how it's waters and forest teem with every sort of life and how its reindeer, its Prlbilof seals, of which 10014 more were counted this year than last, and it's blue foxes and mink aEd nlarten on 360 of more fur farms multiply amazingly, we must conclude that it's latitudes are highly healthful and stimulating and inyigorating ipf human mammals also. Future will have different story to ten the herd of musk oxen just introduced during the past fall will be worth watching.
 Beauty abounds oa this con- tinent, and tremendous effects are to be viewed in out own Western mountains in the Canadian Rock les and other places to Which nature has been partial, but Al- N aska is all scenery. Nowhere else on this continent do mountains rise So high, or valleys yaWn so aeep pr glaciers sitter so brill . iantly or waters sweep 50 mai- h some former years 25- oOo or more have recognized that ' Alaska is the wonderland for tour sts, but many more should know It's attractions.
