Sitka Natives
Make Big Catch
of Fur Seals
One Hundred aud Ninety-nine
Skins of Kur Seals Await Buy
er at Sitka.
One hundred and ninety-nine fur
seals was the total of the catch of
the natives of Sitka this season in
their seal Sishmg in the open ocean
out from their home. Captaiu Ceo.
Nat'.d of the fisheiies service re
turned yesterday ou the Mtirre after
having authenticated and tagged i.ie
skins for the government.
Alaskan natives are the only ones
allowed to kill the fur seals of Alas
kan waters and they must capture
them with spears from open boats
After they are killed each skin Trust
he authenticated by a representative
of the (liureau of Fisheries and
tagged to show that it was caught in
the legal manuer by a native.
For years the seal hunt has been
an annual event of the Sitka na
tives and fur buyers have in the
past watched the time with interest
and made the trip to the old Capital
City to bid on and buy the skins.
This year, according to Captain
Xaud. an unusally line lot of furs
were brought in and the natives are
anxious to dispose of them. As yet
no buyers have arrived to bid and
they are awaiting them with interest
so that they may realize something
from their labors. These skins, cap
tures by natives, are the only ones
that cau lie purchased in Alaska, the
skins from the Pribilofs being taken
by the government to the markets of
the world for disposal to the high
est bidder.—Empire.

By DeWITT HARRY
Where such great writers as Jack
London, Hex Reach and our own
■ i»obert Ke.'vite huve devoted some
of the best of their time to giving
u fairly accurate word picture of this
country, it is folly to expect that a
first time tourist can do anything
j worth while. However, nowadays,
j we are not so interested in the fic
tion or keeu story appeal in the
United States as with the problem of
[making a living, and that is what
lis so intensly occupying the time of
Alaskans at the ptssent, possibly
even more so than with the remain
j der of the country.
| Community interests between the
j North and the other states is not
| as pronounced as it might he for
this territory must be content to
live in a certain isolation on ac
count of. location, but the rest of the
t'nited States feel that Alaska is a
part of their country and are trying J
lo get the thought of closer rela
tions. if some of the visitors re
turning can do the great service of
spreading Ibis gospel, it might as
comes (he further problem, that the
majority of the visitors here cornel
to be entertained and do not watch
out for business interests.
In connection with the recent
shipping board strike, that now
seeins to have a chance for settle
ment. the Pacific Coast especially
have come to realize that Alaska
has its place and its right to con
sideration. The crux of this matter
came with the realization that Alas
ka faced a mighty difficult emergen
cy in the supplying of actual neces
sities of life and commercial exist
ence. and it has seemed to awaken
the feeling that in any case the rest
of the country must help Alaska.
Now can the difficult emergency
that faces the country today, that of
economic adjustment, he* made to
uork out for Alaska? Undoubtedly
Alaska has a more difficult position
to face that the other ctates, and
again Alaska has been harder hit.
Can it rally from the blow? Can it I
step back and become the great pro
ducer that it once was?
Here again we in the south realize
that Alaska faces a further difficul
ty in that the gold market has fail
ed to take the rise of other commodi
ties. and that rising costs of produc
lion have strangled production. The
recent creation of the Alaskan for-1
oiri district should assist materi-|
ally in helping the working of the
pulp forests and the lumbering and
other conservation and production I
opportunities of the federal re-j
serves. It is a dark proposition that
Alaska faces in some ways, but not
a hopeless one. and the indications
! are that the rest of the country will j
be found eager to assist, now and1
later when the resumption of indus
try makes it possible for the terri
tory (o try and again take its place
as a real producer.
hvery state has nearly a similar
set of conditions to face as has Al
aska. though the north was unques
tionably the hardest hit. In the
rest of the union that are not los
ing hope but are trying to keep a
stiff upper lip and face the world
with courage. Alaska will take her
position again and will likely find,
at the same time, that the rest of the
United States is more appreciative
than was formerly the case. In any
event the states to the south have
unbounded admiration for the Am
I Pr'c«ins who make their homes In
the north and will be willing to give
them more than passive support, I
I am sure, in the future.

Alaskan Notes
The Gibson Auto stago Hue will
operate o fleet of Fords and Dodges
on the route between Fairbanks and
Valdez this season and expects a
heavy tourist trade.
The cod fishing fleet, operating In
Bering Sea, has been cut from fif
teen to three vessels this season,
with the withdrawal of the Alaska
Cod Fishing Co., from the Bering
sea this summer.
The Gastineau Mining Company
mine and mill at Juneau closed on
June 1, and a crew of dismantlers
are now at work on the property.
All miners and mill men were laid
off.
The Alaska Pacific Fisheries Com
pany has changed its plans and will
resume operations at Tee Harbor
this season. Supt. Williams an
nounces that the company expects to
pack 30.000 cases of salmon this
year.
One hundred men are now work
ing on the Valdez end of the Rich
ardson Highway and crews have
started out for Fairbanks and Chit
ina. The Valdez-Willow creek sec
tion of the road will be open to
summer automobile traffic by July
15.
Copies of the preliminary report
of the petroleum deposits of Alaska
have just been received for distribu
tion by the Alaska Bureau. The re
port U. S. Oeological bulletin 719,
was compiled by Dr. G. C. Martin,
who is en route to Alaska from Se
attle this week.
Dispatches received from the East
yesterday reported that the Isthmian
Steamship Lines will soon dispatch
the steamer Charlton Hall from Bal
timore and Mobile for Seward and
other Alaskan ports with a full car
go of rails consigned to the Alaska
Engineering Commission.
Development work is being push
ed on the Commonwealth group of
eight claims in the Portland Canal
district, fourteen miles down the
canal from Hyder on the American
line. Five men are now at work,
under Emit Davis, one of the origi
nal owners of the property, build
ing a temporary camp, cutting a
trail and doing enough surface work
to determine the best place to start
a permanent working tunnel. .
Seattle, June.—Alaska has been
assigned the positlcn of prominence
In the large mining exhibit that will
be staged by the American M'.uitu.
Congress at Chicago. In October of
this year. This exhibit is to bo held
during the week of tho 24th and
during the convention of the Con
fess which brinrs toother mining
n en from every section of our coun
ts}. The exhibit is to he staged in
Chicago's large Coiiseu.i which as
sures of its being crowded with vis
itors throughout the weelr. ,This
building has 40,000 sqpare feet of
floor space and Alaska has been al
lotted the central space of thirty
feet in diameter from which all isles
will radiate. The oxhil.it is to be of
minerals, mining machinery and
equipment with the sole exception
of Alaska which has been permit
ted to exhibit all of its resources.
This will make it posnibl-i for the
Alaska exhibit to be the most spec
tacular and attractive-of any in the
Coliseum. In order to mako it a
live exhibit it has been suggested
that the Alaska display should in
clude a demonstration of placer
mining, a typical sourdough pros
pector and a hand rocker, rocking
out virgin gold. The mineral ex
hibit should contain exhibits of at
least fifty pounds of all types of ore
from Alaska. Such an exhibit will
be a startling revelation to mining
men of the country of the great di
versity of mineral resources of Al
aska, including as it does all miner
al required in the arts and indus
tries. To these should be added ex
hibits of all non-inetallic products
marble, graphite all qualities of coal
and an attractive exhibit of oil. Min
erals. however, are only a small part
of Alaska's great basic resources
that should be displayed. Other ex
hibits should include fisheries, tim
ber, agriculture, reindeer, and last
but not least, Alaska's great scenic
attractions. The Alaska Bureau, Se
attle Chamber of Commerce is pre
paring to offer all possible aid in
assembling and forwarding exhibits.
Chairman John P. Hartman has nam
ed a committee on mining, of which
Falcon Joslin is chairman that is
preparing to render every possible
assistance in making this exhibit one
that will attract nationwide atten
tion. The bureau is writing the Al
aska Chamber of Commerce tender
ing its services, and suggesting that
committees be named In each Alas
kan town to secure the mining ex
hibits.
