JUNEAU : ALASKA;
Mt. Edgecumbe, an Extinct
Volcano
Situated on Kruzof island, at. the en
trance to Sitka 90und, stands a moun
tain 3,407 feet in height, which was
named Edgecumbe by Explorer Cook
in 1778, presumably after Mount Edge
cumbe, at the entrance to Plymouth
harbor, England. The internal fires
which once caused this mountain to
belch forth great quantities of moulteo
lava are long since stilled.
A party of Sitka people recently
visited the spot and what they saw is
described in the Thlinget m follows:
Camp was made on the beach and at
7 o'clock the next morning the party
under the guidance of Sergius started
on tho climb. At 11 o'clock all had
reached the timber line. Here the tent
was pitched and all were ready to do
justice t? a meal of fresh venison. The
afternoon was .spent on the crater. It
is useless to try to describe this won
derful inactive volcano with its beauti
fully colored crater, its lava flows, like
petrified rushing torrents; its varied,
tinted pumice stone, obsidian and
scoria, its partially frozen lake with
islets of floating stone aud its crown of
eternal snow. The view from its sum
mit is much more indescribable. Sitka
looks like a picture town. liiorka
seems at your very feet. To the south
and west the mighty Pacific goes on
and on till it comes right over your
head iu the blue sky. To the north
west, Cape Edwards and Chichagof
seem but a step, while rising out of the
blue beyond Mt. Fairweather and its
comrade peaks stand like bauks of
everlasting clouds.
As you come up on the level rim of
the crater you are compelled to pause;
the scene is one which causes the be
holder to forget the long tiresome
climb, his own little troubles and the
existence of the whole human race.
Before you extends the broad expause
of the Pacific stretching 'away in ma
jesty to where it blends with the blue
of the heavens in a vastness that hu
man minds cannot grasp. Behind you
rises a range of snow capped moun
tain monarchs, the declaration of that
awful force which tore away from the
ocean's grasp and in one cataclysmic
convulsion brought iuto being the
Alaskan Cordilleras. At your feet lies
in the stillness of death the latest born
of these volcanic monsters. The
power that raised this coue of rock and
vomited forth these myriad tons of
lava, all is so vast, so incomprehensible
that there is but oue thought that
comes to mortal miod ? "What is man
that Thou art mindful of him? and the
son of man that Thou visitest him?"
Jensen carries a fine line of Onyx
Cooking Ware.
if you want good service, the best of
treatment and to reach your destina
tion in the quickest possible time,
travel on the Humboldt ? .'i days to Se
attle. For tickets and other informa
tion call at Heubner's Drug Store.

Prof. C. C. Georgeson, superintendent
of the Alaska experiment stations, has
recently returned from a visit to the
country along the Yukon river. He
said: "My trip to the interior has cou- ? I '
vinced me more than ever that Alaska
has a great future in her agriculture.
When I left Rampart station a field of
1 splendid grain was maturing, and the
berries, melons and vegetables grown
! in the interior surpass belief.
James Hadad Brown Scheuyeaulle,
; formerly mayor of Eagle City, Alaska,
announces that he has ordered four
medals, which are being wrought of
gold from his mines on Cleary creek, ^
which he will offer as a prize to the '
author who has resided in Alaska for
at least one year, of the best work in
poetry, scieuce, history arid fiction, re
spectively. The details of the competi
tion have not yet been arranged.
The body of Paul Hainetj Lane, son
of C. L). Lane, a well known mining
; man of California, was found in the
j Susitna river by a party of proapectore
' and buried near the spot. The body of
Si liayes, the former traveling com
panion of Lane, was not found. The
two men were enroute to the Susitna
several weeks ago and rau out of pro
visions. Some time afterward the raft
i was found but no trace of the men.
The Copper River Northwestern
railroad has announced the securing of
a patent for a townsite at the mouth of
j the Chitina river, or where it empties ,
into the Copper. While no definite in
formation has been given out as to
what money the railroad will spend in
making this place a city, yet it is freely
predicted that the town of Chitina, as
it will probably be called, will be one
! of #the large interior cities of Alaska
within a few years. It will be the
transfer point for freight aud passen
gers bound for the iuterior and up the
Copper river and also for freight
bound up the Chitina for the Bonanza
mines. By next spring the road now ' v
under construction will reach this
point, where connections will be made
for freight and mail with the Fair
banks trail, aud a saving of hundreds
of dollars in freight and several days
in the time of delivery of mail will re
i suit.
