The wheat pool lias wound up another successful vear, and Is now maklug final payments which bring the price secured by Its patrons up to $1.42 V4 per bushel for No. 1 Northern at Vancouver, says the Edmonton Bulletin. The pool last year handled 4J.(hmi.ooO bushels of Alherta wheat, more than halt the total estimated yield, and about twice the amount marketed though the pool Mast )ear. How much the pool has affected prices, or how much it has sated the farmer in marketing costs. Is not official)- stated or estimated; Is perhaps not to be calculated with any degree of assured accuracy. But there Is every appruraucc of pennanrnce In the position of the pool. It Is handling each year the grain of a much larger number, of fnrmers than In the preceding year. Which means that It has established Itself In the confidence of the farming community as a selling organization. ASK .him); AXIi IJl lento Tom Dominion.

In 1922, produced one-sixth of all the gold mined ln Alaska. KLONDIKE IHMCOtEKY The discovery of gold in the Klondike region. Yukon Territory, tn 'l89S was reeponslble for a period of increased activity in Juneau during the succeeding years when the stampeders were en route. Skagwsy came into .being ovet night and tn 1887-98 was a city of some 1 4 XWO inhabitant. Although depleted tn population at the present time, this little town stands at the gateway to the Yukon Territory and is of com mercial Importance for this reason. OS KOKTY MILL The placer mines of the rorty MuV river district were discovered' In 180'': thoee of the Rampart district ln 1893 thoae of the Sunrise district Cook In- in 1894; and those of the upper Eoyukok river tn 1899. The first re stampede to Alaska Territory, however, occurred with the discovery of place gold on Anvil creek, near Nome, In 1898. The stampeders arrived by the thousands during 1899 and 1900. when gold ln paying quantities was discovered on the beach at Nome. Following the Nome stampede other placer deposits veer opened on the Seward peninsula, notably at Candle Creek. Council City Solomon and ln the Kougarok country to the northward. After the days of the rush Nome's population declined until ioo, when renewed activity occurred (or a few years aa the result of the dls covery of. gold In the old beach level on the tundra back of the prevent beach. TANANA IMsCOVIItV The discovery of gold near Fairbanks In 1902 created a new raeoca for the disappointed stampeders who had visited the Klondike, .Nome and other districts, and thousands flocked to Fairbanks which anon developed Into a thriving city, For several years following the first discovery of gold In this section, new ifjnas . were made on the creeks In the district.- and wlrbauks. thereafter had a rather ' 'prolonged period of prosperity. The district still holds much promise both aa a mining and agricultural section. The, .discovery pf place gold near Hot Springs on the Danana river In 1900 resulted In the establishment of a permanent settlement there. Idltarbd Is among the last of the large placer camps. The district was discovered In 1909 and Is .still producing approximately one-half million dollars In gold annually. Gold was discovered on the creek back of Ruby In 1912. resulting ln the establishment of a permanent settlement at that point. The Tolo-vana strike tn 1914' resulted In a great Influx of gold seekers to that section. The Kantlshna, Hyder -and Willow creek districts now loom large on the gold mining horizon.

The report (ot the Territorial mine Uwpector for the year 1922 places the total mineral production tn Alaska since 1880 at I49C.72S.000. which Is more than ulxty tlmea the purchase price of the Territory.
