ALASKA NATIVES
ARE PROTESTING
Object to Regulations Preventing
Them From Taking Fur
Seal in Ocean
The natives of Alaska have
voiced a dignified and unanswer
able protest against the regula
tions which forbid them to en
gage in the business which they
and their ancestors have follow-j
ed from time immemorial, of tak
ing fur seal in the open ocean, otT
shore. It is a protest which
should have some weight, and it.
is a protest which could be made
with equal force by the natives of
this state living on the ocean
shores.
Xonu of (he coast tribes, eith
er in Alaska or in this slate, have
ever asked or received bounties
or annuities from the govern
ment of the United Slates. They
have never asked or received a
dollar for their lands taken. They
have been self-supporting, as no
oilier aboriginal people within
the limits of lite I'niled States
have ever been. They have seen
| their primitive meant of subsist
I eney taken from them and I hey
: have, endeavored, and with much
| success, to adapt themselves to
j new conditions; but I hey are for
| bidden, in some instances, to
I avail themselves of the new con
ditions.
J'or example, from lime im —
mrial. llm tribes living along
I In' j-i-acoasl «»1" this «!;»!<• Iiavi'
depended for a large share, of

THE TANANA
GOLD OUTPUT
Fairbanks Times Estimates the
Creeks Will Produce $5,095,
000 This Year
Tin* Fairbanks Times makes
the following estimate of the gold
output of the Tanaua and pro
nounces I he llpurcs as being "ex
I reniely eonservat ive":
The gold output of the Fair
banks district. for the year 1912
will exceed $5,000,000, according
to a careful compilation made of
estimates furnished to The Times
by conservative business and
financial men of Fairbanks. Thv
output is very likely to exceed the
estimate, for recent discoveries
of pay made on various creeks
in the district lead to that belief.
The estimate is based on average
| condition?? and is considered as
[extremely conservative. Should1
llit* water supply be above the av
erage and I In* season be of more
than the usual length, it is prob
able that the output will be cor
| tidal will, of course, be larger.
Considered from the producing
[standpoint. Kva creek, the little
I tributary of Ksler, is the most
I noticeable. Last, year the .creek
[ produced bill a few thousands of
dollars, while this year the esti
jinale places its output al the linll'
i million mark. Ksler creek, last
i year estimated al a ipiarler mil—
• lion, will probably produce almost
! twice thai amoiinl during the
