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, '" Heaviest Oriental Cargo.

Iu oon sequence ol tlila condition of affairs, not a aiugle boniHateadur has attempted to make entry Snder the new law iu the land oflloe at Bitka." In tha muttor of wagon roads, rail roads, etc., a different condition exists, 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.

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.'
