mai; Pay. three men went to Seldovia

come from the east and "ill remain at
Aurora all winter arranging for the
reception of the first immigrants.
Agents pivceibiig these men have
located lo.bhn acres of coal land,
which is believed to contain coal of a
superior quality, and the veins are i
known to be of a vast extent. Not coal
mining alone, however, but agricul
ture i-. to be the employment of the
Finnish settler.-- whom the colonization
leaders expect to bring.
The three men who passed
through Seward are Adam W idenius.
/Near rilman and .1. \Y. Friedman,
representing The Alaska Colonization
and Development Company, a corpora
tion organized by Finlanders in Now
York. The president of the company
is Axel Hornhorg. general agent of a
Finnish lineot steamers plying bet ween
the old country and America. Nearly
all Finnish immigrants into the I'nited
States come to thi-- country under his
direction. Many of them come here
without definite purpose other than to
obtain employment as miners or to
acquire land to farm.
Finnish emigration to America has
been very large for some years and it
is the intention of Mr. Hornhorg and
his associates to try to settle as many
of them as possible in some new terri
tory similar in climate and resources
to their own. Southern Alaska is such
a region, although it has a milder
climate than Finland and exeels it
1 greatly in possibilities of wealth. At
least this is the opinion of Prof. ,
(ieorgesen of the Alaska experimental I
stations of the department of agricul
ture, who in Seward recently in an
; interview published in the (lateway
suggested the desirability of seeking
Finnish immigrants for Alaska.
Mr. Widenius said while here that
it vs the intention of his company to
bring a larg'e company here next i
spring.

Tests of Specimens from Kashwitney
and Porcupine Bay Strikes
Pan Out Well.
Addit ional evidence t lull all Sout iu*i*n
Alaska is ringstreuked ami spotted
with i-oppcr was touuil tlii- week in
jissavs uiaile by Harry Ellsworth. 'Mr
was of specimens lrotn Porcupine hay
near the mouth of Resurrection hay.
and the other from tor kashwnitney
river. Each showed a good percentage
of copper.
The discovery on Porcupine hay was
made some time ago and has been j
known in Seward for two weeks. Eight 1
claims were located hv T. .1. Harris
an 1 S. K. Likes. They uncovered the
wein for some diitance and finally had
an assay made which resulted >o
favorably that they tiled tie location
notices of eight claims with the l nited
States commissioner yesterday. I h°
owners report that the lode is several
hundred feet wide, with a good pay
streak.
The Kashwhitney river discovery is
apparently much richer in the per
centage* of c*>pper it carries. It was
made late this summer by F. S. Wil
liams and Otto Olson. Mr. Williams
came to S* ward a week ago and rt -
port“d the find, substantiating his re
port with some of the finest specimens
of copper ore ever laid before a miner s
eves, Thcs* needed no assay as they
were nearly all copper.
Mr. William* also brought down a
tot of ore of a lower grade. 'Phis lie
left with Mr. Ellsworth for assay, and
the returns showed a good percentage.
Mr. Williams went to Seattle on the
Santa Clara to interest capital there
in the development of his discovery.
He *s an old Alaska sourdough of the
vintage of 1 s;>7 and has« wide acquain
tance with investors in Alaska mines
hot*' in and out of the territory.
The Kashwhitncy isr an east fork of
the Shushetna, and the discovery is,
abori fifty miles north of Knik Arm.
It was reported in September on the
Inlet and the fact chronicled in the
Gateway at the time. Mr. Williams
expresses the belief that the entire re
gion is rich in copper.
A caribou was killed in the streets
0f Chena a short time ago.

SOME OMAHA IGNORANCE
Seattle Paper Enlightens a Carper
at Alaska
The Seattle Trad*- Register takes
this fall out of a Middle West paper:
• The Omaha Trade Exhibit exposes
woeful ignorance respecting Alaska
when it says: ‘The gold output of
Alaska is estimated for the current
year at 10.000,000. not a very large
figure when the cost of getting tin*
metal is taken into consideration, and
when the further fact tiiat gold isabotit
the only product of the bleak northern
territory is considered. The expense
of living and the cost of production
will certainly more than consume all
of tlie gold produced this year, it we
are to believe the stories which come
to us.‘ It would he just as correct to
say that Omaha is nothing but a hog
pen and immeasurable filthy, because
it has a hog market. Alaska's fish out
put annually exceeds $20,000,000 in
value: it bu> untold value in copper,
coal, oil, marble and other products,
has large and rich agricultural areas
and many sections with abetter climate
than many other sections of tin* l nited
States. The above quotation is the
worst of misrepresentation.”
The Fairbanks Sunday Times is a
( new weekly paper
