General Buffield discussing the gold
discoveries in Alaska, says:
"If I were a young man," he said, 'I
should get about a seventy-five ton
schooner at Seattle, take auppliea and
engage tbe services of a firBt-class pros
pector. . Then I should cruise along he
southeastern part of Alaska, in what is
called Alexander archipelago. There
are a number of islands there and more
gold lodes than at any place with which
I am acquainted. The mining would
not be 'placers,' but the ore can be got
ten out very cheaply and being directly
on the sea, the transportation amounts
almost to nothing, except the time
spent."
The general overlooks the fact that a
young man with money enough to buy
a seventy-five ton scbooner, hire first
class prospectors and carry out hia sug
gestions, iias money enough and does not
need to go to Klondike.
