WONDERFUL LAND OF GOLD
When one reads of the fal-ulous
latent wealth of the Valdez coun
try or tho Upper Susitna country he
would believe that these were the
places to drive his stake?. But if
you will come to Alaska and enter
Into conversation with those who
have prospected most extensively
iu Alaska and you ask them what
part of the territory will prove
to be the greatest mining disttriet
they will point to the great Alas
kan range of mountains and, shak
ing their heads will say. "I wish
I were 20 years younger for THERE
is whr.re the real BIG thing
will b«» found." They know it is
there. They have seen it them
selves outcropping frcm the
mcuntaii, sides, but they have
grown old waiting for transporta
tion to it and new feel that it
will be 'eft to younger men to un
cover some of the largest and rich
est gold ledges yet found in Alas
ka.
Almost universally the old pros
pectors will tell you that the Al
aska range is where the ".Mother
Lode cf all lodes" will be uncov
ered, aud they know. They have
been ti'ere and seen it with their
own eyes. They have i>racik'< d
"watchful waiting" for an oppor
tunity to get freight into :-nd out
of that country, but have about
reached the conclusion that it must
be left for othars. Verily, verily.
Alaska is to be the "Wonderland
of the World "—Forty-Ninth Star.
A STOliV OK Fl* LFUX3IENT
T&e remarkable success attend
ing iv.e operations of the Copper
River & Northwestern Ry., in Al
aska and the fact that property, as
well as various other interests of
Alaska Syndicate, has fulfilled every
premise and expectation of the last
eight or nine years, is a matter
of felicitation and hearty con
gratulation. For years made the
subject of misrepresentation, the
road has not only successfully met
and combatted such assault, but
thtj peculiar geographical and cli
matic conditions of that section of
the territory, serious handicaps as
they are to railroad operation, have
by efficiency and skill likewise teen
successfully met and overcome and
today <he railroad has the uniquo
dlstiucilcn of being operated with
financial success and is unique iu
hauling the most valuable ton
nage of high grade copper the worl
has ever known. It is a story of
fulfillment as well as achievement.

PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA
The good which comea from j
wiping out the saloons is brought
to «s'even more cloarly when we
read -* what has happened in Rus
sia siuc-; universal prohibition has
come into force. The governor i
oi Minsk wrote in a letter pub-!
lished in the Prohibition organ, 1
the "New Republic":—
"The universal prohibition of the
sale of whisky throughout the gov
ernment has an undoubtedly posi- j
tive influence upon the amount of j
crim;-, the percentage of the dim- j
iuaiion of which is no less than 50.
The prohibition of the sale of j
whi.-ky has a similar effect upon !
the tobrlety and tho general or- ,
d«.r ..tnong the population of the
-i:\ernment of Minsk. Moreover, in
view of the decrease of expenditure j
i'or drink, the savings of the peo- j
pie have increased considerably."
Public opinion is stronger even

Notes ot t!ie War
During the past summer Cor

been running about ?l,f>00,000 per
mouth, occasionally reaching $2,
900,000. Several other properties
contiguous to the railroad also are
expected to make some shipments
this summer. The railroad com
pany has no present plana for ox
tending the road and none will bo
made until the Alaska coal land
situation is made clear. If the
Berlnng river coal is made available

but whether the rond nam the
fields to Cordova .will be built by
the company or by tho government
