Wis Not
A Bad  Investment
It Appears. .
COAL FIELDS
P And Mines An Immense Source
Of Wealth.
^' ~: We read In our histories tbat when
Wm- H.8eward,t be secretary of state,
negotiated s treaty with Russia for
tbe purchase of Alaska, a territory
tbat onr geographies called, * Russian
America,11 it was felt that be bad
made a mighty poor bargain. - S7,200,_
OQO was a good price to pay for icebergs with a few polar bears and seals
thro a*n in. No one knew anything-
abont its minerals; If it bad any* and
no one thongbt of it eta -possessing
any. ' agricultural possibilities. Its
wonderful gold mines are matters of
pretty general knowledge now while
its immense coal fields, forests* and'
faroiiug possibilities are littie known.
Tbe following extracts from a railroad builder there.may interest many:.
. Witb its untold coal tonnage, gi ,
Kantic - forests, fertile * agricultural
and grazing lands, ' splendid • mercantile enterprises,., unsurpassed
climate, and iniprovement appropriations by tbe United States government which -- represent a heavy
total, Alaska is racing an extended
era of prosperity, according to Frank'
Baliaine, railroad builder and banker,
of Seward,,   v.-v.'i';.!'' >a-Aa.;:i:.\.:.     ".'  -
"Alaska bas an area three tiroes
the size of Texas, with a present
population of but 50.000," said Mr.
Baliaine. "Our mineral and agricultural resources are unlimited,
and only time and labor, aided by
capital, wiil reveal their true extent.
The country, in spite of the. fact that
it has been prominently in the public
eye for 25 years, is stillfin an embryo
state. .• y   ■"'■*'■•'.■   -
'The clim&ts of Alaska is generally
misunderstood by tbe people in the
states. We have one of tbe most
equable climates in tbe world. At
Seward the average winter temperature is from 35 to to 40 degrees above
zero, and the summer from €0 to 80
degrees. This is due to the close
proximity of the Japanese current.
For tbree months, May, June and
^Jult, we bave 20 hours of sunshine a
day. TDe shortest .day of the year
the sun shines from 9 o'clock in the
morning until 3 in the afternoon.
During fbe summer months - the
foliage is tbe most luxuriant I have
ever seen, almost every kind of wild
flower blooming profusely.
"Unquestionably the best thing
Theodore Roosevelt did during bie
term of office as president was the
withdrawal of tbe coal lands of
Alaska from settlement; ; At the time
he was subjected to much criticism,
but subsequent events have proven
tbe wisdom of this action. The coal
supply of the world is limited, and
with the immense coal beds of Alaska
in tbe bands of private capital no
conservation wpuld be possible.     ^ ,
"it is impossible to estimate tbe
coal buried in Alaska., Some of tbe
surface veins extend"32 feet in 'width.
Coal can be placed On tbe docks in
Seattle for not ta exceed ,$4; per ton..
When it is considered that tbe coal
beds on tbe Pacific coast are practically nil tbe importance of this fact
to the Coast country is easily see***
Secretary Daniels of the United States
nary has worked bard 'for the new
railroad project, because witb opening of tbe coal bed tbe navy fue
supply will be solved*- ' At the present
time a large quontity of the government coal is purchased in Wales, and
costs from 98 to 19 per ton.
"In lvL5 the salmon canning industry of Alaska represented a total
of 915,000,000. The. halibut fisheriel
also do a big business. The Grand
i^--*Trunk railroad has a ' practical
monopty on that, beause it can place
tbe product In tbe eastern market 24
boors sooner than any otber Unas
Tbe total volume of. business last year
between Alaska and Seattle was mora
than 970,000,000.
'"Thousands of acres of spruce
forests will furnish material for ptflp
enough to supply the world witb
paper lor many .years, and aa soon as
: eraneportatlOn is established It is expensed large paper mills will b*
esSahlished at Seward.
