Alaska's Wealth As Told By Edwards Roberts
San Francisco correspondent Edwards Roberts returns from Alaska noting the untapped value of timber minerals and fish. He cites a 1871 purchase price of 7.2 million dollars, seal islands leased for 55 000 yearly with 262 dollars per seal on 100 000 skins yielding 262 500 in taxes and 329 500 total. He predicts a monopoly lease expiring in 1887 and a doubled rental later. He describes Alaska's mining as vast with gold in quartz and Douglass Island as current mining hub with a 120 stamp mill under San Francisco capital. Labor is cheap and accessibility limits exploitation of gold quartz.
