In the
summer
of
1897
our
Uncle
Samuel
began
to
discern
what a
bonanza
he had
bought
from
Russia
30
years
before
. From
Sitka
to
Siberia
the
vast
country
seems
to
glitter
with
gold
. There
is
said
to be
more
gold-bearing
quartz
on
Douglass
Island
alone
than
10,000
stamps
could
crush
in a
century
.
One
wonders
if
we
may
not
yet
have
gold
for
street-paving
as in the
New
Jerusalem
. The
Seal
Islands
have
long
since
repaid
the
cost
of
Alaska
, a
country
three
times
as
large
as
France
and
destined
to be the
home
of
many
millions
of
people
. The
salmon-fisheries
are the
greatest
in the
world
.
Agriculture
is
possible
in
vast
regions
and will be
made
profitable
.
Besides
there are
vast
forests
of
timber
, and there are
mines
of
copper
and
perhaps
other
unknown
wealth
.
No
wonder
the
streams
are
crowded.
