This bas no donbt two can set, one was ibat the prospector bad left all that was dear be biod biua, aod the other was tbe sup posed fact that tbe meteorological condi t-tlous ol Alaska were wholly unsuited to the permanent residence of civilised hu manity.

Those who bave lived in Alaska for many years say the wiuters are not more rigoroas than the aamo season in some of the thickly settled portions of British Columb'a and Canada. There are many districts where horses, cattle, hogs and sheep are raised and bandied with large preflt, as the summer range is practical ly unlimited, and an abundance of win ter feed can be raised during tbe sum mer. Tbe soil produces large quantities of vegetables, giaina end armtet, and as an illustiation of the profit fn growing vegetables in the St. Michael Land Dis trict : Register Franklin Moeesand Receiver Albert K.

Gar dening is carried on at aod near Holy Cross Mission, near Skagway, and number of other places convenient toft good market. Many of those who went lo Alaska expecting to mine have been aurprlsed at tbe favorable conditions and have turned their attention (o ftsricult- uie, and are making more money in tbat way than they could by digging gold, brides acquiring title to land that is be coming morV valuable each year. There have been no township surveys nor any standard lines or bases for township sur veys so the land In tbe more isolated districts is simply held by possession. bnt tbe Homestead, Timber and Stone Coal Land Lawsbave been extended to Alaska, besides tbe opportunities for the naeol Soldier's Additional Homestead scrip, (wbicb by the way Is tbe only kind that can now be used there, but this will teas either surveyed or nnmrveyed land.) In addition to these laws tie Act of March 3rd, 1891, which passed especially for the purpose of assisting tbs promo tion of bosinees and agricultural inter ests there, enables tbs pioneer to obtain title lo tbe lands without much difficul ty. He can under ibis law, (and by nee of Soldier's additional Homeatesd scrip) have bis own survey made and title will pass io him wltboutwalting for the reg ular surveys to be run. Tbe next five years will witness marvelous changes in tbe development ol its nstural resources aod large appropriations 'or the survey of the settled portions of Alaska will fol low as a necessary result, and those wbo now settle will probably bave the laods surveyed before they have earned the patea's to lb em by five years continuous residence, cultivation and Improvemen ol tbeir settlement claims. The chief care the early settler bas, shoold be to s-e tbat he has carefully and distinctly marked the bcar.daries ot bis claim, so tni a late comer might not bave the op portunity of .trespassing npoo the rights be baa earned by bie prior settle ment.
