“The announcement that President
Harding will visit Alaska,” said J.
Li. McPherson, of the Alaska bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce, "is a
splendid indication not only of the
attitude of the president but of the
the whole administration toward the
territory. It means a great thing for
Alaska. While Harding was a mem
! her of the senate committee on ter
ritories he was one of the most help
ful members in securing beneficial
legislation for Alaska. He was one
of the senators who secured the pas
sage of the appropriation items fcr
the Alaska railway.”
Great interest is manifested in
farming land3 in the interior of
Alaska along the line of the govern
ment railway, according to word re
ceived here from Secretary Moyer
of the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce. Nearly 100 letters were re
ceived by him recently from the mid
dle west asking for information re
garding agricultural lands in the
north. Most of the letters were re
ceived from Finnish farmers, who
are accustomed to agricultural work
in cold climates.
It is estimated that fifteen gold
lode mines and five prospects were
operated in Alaska in 1920, produc
ing about 3.270,000 tons of ore, from
which $4,360,000 worth of gold and
106,000 ounces of silver were re
ceived. The output in 1919 was 3,
262,573 tons of ore, contained gold to
the value of $4,392,237, and 108,
691 ounces of silver.
