YEAR'S WORK If' iAT.ASKA
Progress Made In Mmine; Development Value of t!ie Salmon Indu
try Agriculture In th Far North Necessary LegU-ttlon In
tercatinjr Report of Governor Brady, of Alabk.
One of tlm most Interesting docu
rnenta recently reonived at the inteiior
dopnrtment ia the aiinuul report of John
O. Brady, governor of Alaska. ; The
report is very elaboitttein its treatment
ot aubjoota relutive to the greut Noith-
west territory, oovoring everything from
mission stations to the mining indus
tries. Probably more apace ia dovoted
to gold mining than any other aubjitct,
that being the predominating industry
at the proeiint time. Of. this, Mr,
Brady aays: '
"The past yeat has beon one of won
derful progress. During , the winter
and spring all aorta of vessels were put
into the Alaska trade, and were mled
with passengers and cargo to the very
limit. Before long, thousands of tons
ot freight could tie aoen piled upon mid
undor the snow noon the auinmiu o(
the Alaskan mountains. The United
States contributed by fur the In i goat
number of prospectors, who oame irom
all quartern, a lnrsje number from evory
state) In the Union, California, Oregon
and Washington tending the largost
oontliigtuita. These prospefftora, as a
class, were line specimens of manhood.
"It ia calculated that 8.S0O outfltted
for Copper river, several hundred went
over the divide at Yukiitnt. and some
paitiea went ovei the Dalton trail mid
worked tholr way up the Whits rlvnr,
one of the largest branches of the Yu
kon. Uook Inlet, Koaurreotion bay,
Oolovin bay, Kotsebue sound, Koynkuk
river and many other pi noes have all
been visited by prospectors this season.'
The declaration of war sgaitiat 8pain
chocked the tide. Most of the Amer
icans who proceeded to Dawson com
plained of the mining iiilciand iegnla
lions, and the manner In which they
were carried out. This had the effect
to diive many upon the Alaska sidoi
and the Claims which were abandonee
for the first onrush to the Klondike
were relocated, and much other Valua
ble ground discovered, which will keep
large numbers ot men there this winter.
"Theie la noway ot ascertaining the
amount of dust washed out upon the
Alaoka tide, The amounts given for
trie Klondike and its tributaries vary
very much. ' Berersl reasons are givett
why the output ia smaller than was
snticipated the scarcity of supplies,
especially lights, the high price of
labor, and the 10 'per cent royalty ex
aoted. Many claims are being held
with the expectation that aupplies will
be mors abundant and not so dear, and
uonsecimmtiy cheaper labor, and that
the loud complaint against the royalty
will cause the Ottawa government to
abolish it. There will ba no lack ; of
aupplies this winter, but there appears
to be a determination among the
minera to k-wp ep wages, and the royal
ty ia still demanded, Bo we can expect
tlie product for the coming year" to be
much our tailed. " -.f ;
Speaking of quarts, mining, lie says:
"Verv lich ore was discovered in the
vicinity of Ketchikan, and many loca
tions hate been made, and developed.
Quarts locutions have also been made
at variona places around the coast and
upon' the islands, as far as Uinvhiska.
The greater number of these are .held
by poor men who are not able to make
developments of an? considerable ex
tent. Alaska is a splendid field for a
class of men who can command capital
and who can examine these disooveriea
and come to terms with the owners tor
the purpose of development nd sale.
While impoitiint discover its of gold
have been: made on Pine creek, flowing
into Lake A tl in, the fields in the vicin
ity ol Bald Eagle and Sum, Hum Chief,
as well as filieep creek, near Juneau,
have made even better showings in the
paat year than previously.''
Favorable reports are made ot the
operations of the large American min
ing companies at woik in Alaska, their
efforts seeming to be more abundantly
rewarded than are those of foreign cor
porations. '; - 1 , y
Land Lawl- - ;
So much of the land lawa as relates
to mineral land and mining claims,
inasmuch as thoy are the earns as are
now In force in the United States
proper, have given perfect satisfaction
throughout Alaska, bat in the, matter
of homestead laws, quite a different
state of affairs exists. The Idea that
man may dig out ore upon lands and
obtain patent for the same but' cannot
build a house and improve land for a
ome, not obtain title to it, is regarded
as highly nn just and imprudent by the
aidentaof that country, .As a matter
of fact, the land office has issued but
oris patent under the law, of March S,
IHUS, for trade and manufacture, and
the amount of land an applicant re
ceives depends not on any law, but
entirely on the will of tlie land officer.
Even the law which paeaed last May,
extending tlie homestead tights to
Alaska, it found to be practioally val
ueless, 'r-'r.f:
"There are fto, surveyed lands in
Alaska, no; baa any sy.atein ot survey
been provided. It ia impossible, there
fore, for a poor settler - to acquire a
homestead., It .he were able and will'
ing to stand the expense of a survey,

In tha muttor of wagon roads, rail

Aa aoon aa tho right of way bill had
punned, numbers of tilings were made,
and eeveral roads ot various character
are now In pmgreea of construction.
At Unga, Berner'a bay . mid Douglass
island there are railways in operation,
although solely for use In connect Ion
with the mines. The Pacific- & Arctic
Hallway 44 Navigation Company has
probably made mora progress than any
of the othor '"largo, companion, having
completed 14 miles of road ovor almost
impnswiblo country. Moreover, so
rouoh of the liad as Is completed ia
constructed ot tho best matotlal, by the
best of workmen, and ia in every way
first-class. Money has not been spared,
and as Jesuit the road stands without
a poor. It might be mentioned, In this
contiootiou, that, owing to the limita
tions of tho timber lawa, It was found
best to Import a great deal of timber,.
and nearly nil the timber and lumber
used ia building Uvea and Bkitgway,
their railroads and mills, was (hipped
from Pugeat sound. r
The governor expresses the hone that
congress, during the Short session, will
pass upon a coda of civil procedure for
the district of Alaska. t
. Salmon lnSuatry -
Ot the salmon industry, a great deal
Is mid. There ciin be, no doubt that
this industry Is one of great ImpniUnce,
for from figures given it is seen that
the Alaskan output in the Inst year
marketed at (4,877.010. The red
salmon seems to far outnumber all oth
era, - although ' the ; pink and silver
salmon are found in large numbers.
Comparatively few king salmon were
taken last year. ' To pack these salmon
foi shipment, over (5,000 laborers are
employed, and, strange to say, the most
of them are Chinese. It ha been
found almost Impossible to educate the
native Alaskan . Indu to American
canning methods,: and this, together
with the tact that Chinese labor is ex
ceedingly cheap, ' limy account, In a
measure, for the large lumber of Chi
nese in the" canneries. ' This salmon
trade during the pas!- year was of sufll-,
oient proportions to keep Id constant
use, during the season, 63 steamers, in
addition to the Titt lighters and small
boats, . .r. . ,-" ' ....
In the opinion of tho " governor,
Alaska shoo Id be well supplied with
inspectors, the present force ot two be
ing decidedly inadequate. - - , ..
A(rlinHnral FBsolblHtles.
As an agrioaltmal country, Alaska it
still in its infancy, little being known
of its possibilities. ..Enough can be
learned, lioweverr .from experiments
made in the past year, to satisfy those
interested that such crops as potatoes,
cabbage, beeta, peas and other market
vegetaoioa can, with proper attention
and care, be raised in parts of the coun
try without difficulty. But graas, be
yond everything else, promises to be
the agricultural , wealth-, of Alaska.
This la but little appreciated at present.
The tiHtive grasses are nutritions', and
grow luxuriantly. Tirflthy, clover and
other cultivated varieties do well, one
aore of ground in grass there, for paa
tnrgage, being worth several aorea in a
drier climate. There are many 'varie
ties of, native berries, such as currants,
hookloberries, etc., but berries from
the States, as a rule, well undor cul
tivation. ..,.,-. fc.w'..r. .
,"Of stockiaisiug," says the report,
"but little can be aa.d. Iteindeer will
soon be reared in vast herds. 'In the
near future we expect to have the malt
transported by reindeer all over North
ern Alaska during the winter, and at
much leas coat than at present,"
. 'The Governor's Keeomine&4tlane.
Ucfore'cloiiSng the report, s number
of recoiniueridations are made. "Among
them is the suggestion; that , Japonsky
Island be built tip -aa a naval station.'
Attention is also culled to the fact that
at Kadink,: Unga, Bt. Michaels), Circle
City and Dyoii" there 1s t great luck- ol
proper courtrooms and jails, as' well as
at fJltka, where the' buildings ., lire in
'miserable condition. '-.;',,
The appropriation' for Alaskan,
schools has been found qufto insuffi
cient, being but (!J0,000 per year. An
appropriation of twice, that size could
easily be utilized to good advantage. :
A further recommendation is made
to the effect that lighthouses and oilier
beacons be placed at conspicuous points',
along the const, aa the commerce bus
greatly multiplied of late and demands
BUph protection,;. '', .a. ; : ; "( i..::-::f,'
' Governor Brady oloaea his report
with an appeal to the Uepublican party
to live tip to its pledge and extend to
Alaska the privilege of tending a dele
gate to the national congress. , " '

Democratic leaders decided that such a
debate would properly coniu later upon
the regular appropriation bills, or upon
the bill for the reorganisation of .the

oitfiii of the war, during the debute,
Tho only point upon which an issue
