Soldierts of the cross rather than

invaders of Alaska, called by the
Indians of the Frozen North "The
Great CountryV because it . covers
an area of 586,400 square miles, two
and one-half times as large as

ing prices has made thousands of
poor claims unprofitable to work

lortune hunters and adventurers

wages, of the States, the task of
the Church remains. However
