Wonders and Wealth
of Alaska Related in
Talk by John Cameron
Wallowa (Ore.) Sun.
A glimpse into Alaska and its possi
bilities was .afforded those who attend
ed the tel\i yen bv John Cameron at
the Methodist ICpiscopal church Sun
day evening. The wonders and the
hardships of our Northern empire were
clearly presented by Mr. Catneroh, whoi
took part in one of the gold rushes aQd
remained there, having been a resident
ot the Territory for the past 25 years.
During Mr. Cameron’s residence in
Alaska he has been associated with
mining interests and with the govern
ment of the Territory. He knows
Alaska thoroughly, and had so many
things to tell about that he could not
■find time to tell them all in the short
space of time devoted to his talk.
! In order to give the information most
i desired by his audience Mr. Catneror
; started a "question box,’’ after a brief
i introductory addrrss, allowing his
| hearers to interrogate him concerning
I the points they especially d< .ired to
i know. By this means many questions
in the minds of his hearers, which
might have remained unanswered by a
formal lecture, were satisfied.
No one. except perhaps those already
acquainted with Alaska, failed to get,
| some information about Alaska that
■ was a revelation to them. How many
i of us, for instance, knew that the
! ground is frozen solid up there, al
though it thaws on the surface in t he
j summer to a depth permitting some
< cultivation rn well-drained land. Mr
! Cameron related that ena.ts have been
j sunk 300 feet or more in mining, and
! that frost is st.ill encountered at these
depths.
I Concerning the wealth of his adopted
laud, Mr. Cameron told how it was
purchased from Russia in 18(>7 for
$1,200,000 and Seward was roundly be
rated by many people for tho "folly” of
the purchase, the term "Seward’s ice
chest” being uppited to it. Yet, as
Mr. Cameron said, the '"erritory has
produced over three quarters of a
i billion dollars in minerals, furs, coal,
j lish and other products since that time.

bear, the largest bear in the world;
