C. W. Fulton Talks in an Interesting Wan
About His Trip to That Far-Awau Part
of Uncle Sam's Domain The
Great Cities of the West.
'. W. Fulton, who llllS .IllSt lutllNIC'l
f l Mill ii trip to Alaska, In one of tlic
most Interesting men-to be tnot with
.lust now, If you rait meet him ill Ins
leisure. Ho vvus not contpnt to merely
"have n look" lit things oncounteriil
on IiIh Journey, but took the time uml
trouble to stop, look and listen, when
ever he mine, ueross anything worth
while. This, coupled with the fuel Unit
he cim tell u story Interestlnglv, nuike.-i
h couple ot hours of his company Jui t
now it pleasurable and prolltublc
period.
lie went out by way of the Lacka
wanna uml the Lake Shore to Chicago
anil on the Mtltilliglou frrnn liil
ngo to Ueiiver, thence In Seat
tle on the I'uloii r.ieltle ami
Northern I'acllle: from Seattle lo
.Skagway by the I'acllle Coast Steam
ship lotnpany's line, anil trom -ikitgwa:.
to While Horse, on the Vukun river, by
way of the new one hundred and eleven
mile railroad over White Pass, Mo
turning from Spiilllc. he swims; down to
Salt Lake anil enjoyed the ride ovr
the Denver anil Mlo (irande. one of th
most picturesque railroad routes in the
world. Metut-niug from Denver o
Rci-anton via the Muiilngtou and the
1'enusylvnnla. Making a total trip of
10,000 miles over the best inuiuiged
loads In the country without the
slightest accident. On the v,iy
out, he stopped for ulx da.-s
at Yellowstone park. and also
spent several days along the ('oluinbl.i
liver In Oregon. The entire Journey ot
about 10,000 miles was made with ii-s
much comfort as one can possibly enjoy
going from Scranton to New York. Ills
Journey was practically a '.imo-inlle
straightaway trip through t'nlted
Slates territory. It made Mr. Fulton
realize, he says, that these t'nitcd
States are somewhat of a broml son of
place.
Things That Impressed Him.
The stage trip through Yellowstone
Park, the glaciers of Alaska and tin;
Moyal Goige on the Itio Oiande weie
the three things that Impressed him
most, but there was scarcely a mile
he covered but what revealed some
thing tending to prove the oft-repeated
assertion that American travelers need
not go abroad to tlnd Intercstinc; sight-.
Mr. Fulton was very much pleased
with the six-day stage trip through the
Yellowstone Park, with its geyseis,
canons and beautifully-colored rock
formations. The grand canon. Hire.''
miles long, a mile wide and II 000 teet
deep, with Its walls of solid rock of
every color of the rainbow, vox a truly
inspiring sight.
All the animals anil birds of the park,
bear. deer, buffalo, elk, wild geese and
the like have become so tuuie, by rea
son of the prohibition against molest
ing them, that they are perfectly tame.
Hear come to the back yards of the
hotels for their meals quite as regular!.
as do llie guests to tne (lining room
Deer and geese feeding at the vvaysiil"
were not disturbed by the passage of
ihe tourists' wagons.
The story told in the radium! guld"
books and repeated by travelers, in the
effect that trout can be caught in the
Yellowstone lake and cooked in a hot
water geyser within the length of ,i
tlshlng rod from the lake shore, Is
vouched lor by Mr. Fulton. A troiil,
utter being cleaned was iuimer.-ed In
the hot water pool, and In time
minutes was ready for the table. t
himself held the watch.
Progressive Cities.
The extreme northwestern stale
have many Interesting and progress! v
titles, Mr. Fulton says. Hutt", Mom.,
for Instance, is novel for a total want
of trees or shrubbery of any kind, the
poisonous gases from the smelters be
ing fntul to nearly every form of vege
table life. Spokane is noted for its
line residences, being the home of many
retired mine owners. Seattle seems to
lie the most progressive city on the
Paclilc coast and has a great future.
It gets most of the shipping bushier
to Alaska.
Tacoma, Portland and other i itles on
Ihe sound are doing an Immense bus'
ncss In grain and lumber. Steel ship.',
bound for all purts of the Orient, an)
among the most interestrng sights of
ihe water front.
The kind of timber pioduced In thU
country Is best Illustrated by an liul
ileut coming under Mr. Fulton's per
sonal observation. While at Ynm Oli
ver, B. -., a reception to the Duke and
Duchess of Vol It was given at the
Vancouver National pari;. The pail;
commissioner drove out to meet the
royal party nnd near the gate backel
his vvugon an team Into the hollow
trunk of a tiee to wait their coining
The Uuke had his photographer take a
picture of the sight.
The trip fiom Seattle to .si-ugwuy Is
Hindu ulnio.it wholly on a laud-locked
sen. For six hours of the voyage only,
Is the ship affected by the roll of the
ocean. This is In ciosslng ihe two
sounds. Theie Is no more danger of
sen-sleUne.ss than there Is on a trip 10
Coney Island from New York
Like a Great Long Bay,
It Is like sailing In a great, long bay
filled with Islands. An Inteiestlng fea
ture of the navigation on this route Is
thnt the pilots make use of the echo
nnd the shadow of the coast lauge of
mountains, on very dark nights In
keep them on the pioper course. To
make use of the echo the gong is blown
illd tlio time that elapses before the
echo returns can be used In an ac
curate calculation of the distance from
adore
Tho Treadwell gold mines at Juneau,
Mr, Fulton says, Is one or the wealth
iest properties In the woild. The quartz
Is quarried after the manner of quarry
ing stone on the West .Mountain. Doug
Ins isluud, wlie jo the mine Is located,
Is a mountain of gold, mid the Tread
scull company owns It all. It is leu
Titles long, from two to thiee miles
,vdo mid half a mile high. The lead
)r vein, now being worked, is flOO feel
u-ross mid the uolso from the stumps
,s so great that the mill employes can
'oinmunlcate with one another only by
ilgns. A gold brick containing $:'.", 000
.vortll of precious yellow was exhibited
So Mr. Fulton as a pan of one day's
un,
.Salmon (lulling Is becoming a live In-
lustry of tho Alaskan coast. So pica

neries Whales on the Alaskan const me as
common us culm piles hi Scranton, One
large spotiter rose lo the surface with
in twenty feet of the steamer, A light
between a whale nliil it sword Msh In
one of the Alaskan harbors was a
novel spectacle. Mr Fulton watched
for an hour and a half. The whale
was vanquished.
On a Glacier.
Mr. Fulton spent three bonis on a
glacier a half mile wide. ."U0 feet deep,
and no one knows how long. The lee
Is of a very dark blue and has many
beautiful formations. It moves ill in
ches a day and empties Into Glacier
bay, that is large pieces bleak olT with
the noise of heavy cannoding and go
sailing to the south to be eventually
melted by the sun and the Japan cur
rent. The r.iihiMtl from Skagway to White
Horse, is one of the most wonderful
pieces of engineering in ihe woild, Mr.
Fulton says. From sea level at Skag
way to the summit of While Pass is
only twenty miles, bill the iiillw.ty in
that distance reaches an altitude of
::,00l) feet. On the other side of the
mountain the sea is .',0nn miles away.
The fare on this mad lor one way Is
WO for the one bundled and cl-ven
miles, Mr. Fulton's i oushi. Airied
Williams. Is ihlef engineer of the load.
Mr. Fulton got a nass. It's a good load
lo have free trauspori.it ion over.
On the return trip, Mr. Fulton
counted the passengers. There wen
two hundred of them. Kach. supposed
ly, paid S20 fare, making ?l,iiiin for the
run of 111 miles. The mpei luieiident
of the load stated tbal the iiiuip.iuy
liguies on a freight ear loaded with
mixed ipereliaudlse to earn M.Mll) a trip.
Nine (,us are run in each train.

The Indians of Alaska, Air. Fulton
was bin-prised to learn, are not a low,
Indolent people, as many supposed,
Most of them mo lalily well-to-do, and
many ot them have made big fortunes,
Dawson Charley, the Indian who dis
covered gold at Dawson, has a wlnlei
home lu ftilitornlu, and his childieit
me -icnt lo the states to school, ito
has a w hite governess for his llve-year-old
daughter, and pays her S100 a week.
Ills eldest daughter In uiniiipd lo it
white inaii, Her father gave her u
s in.ooo dowry.
The I'oimuou i in-ienty of the whole
Alaskan country is gold diwt or tiiiu
gets, according to the chill niier of the
mining of the locality. 1-Jvor.v slme has
scales for weighing Ihe nictul, It hi lugs
from !' lo $li! un ounce, according lo
Us fineness. An ounce of gold worth $!
will buy it dollar's worth less of goods
than can be bought for cash. Mr. Ful
ton saw a tlilrtv-iilne ounce ntiugel of
gold at one of the stores In White
lloise.
Salmon Industry.
The salmon Industry on the Alaskan
coast Is quite extensive. Mr. Fulton
says, hut it Is small as compared with
that of the I'oluinblii liver. The cutchen
this year on the ('nlllinbhi me so heavy
that canncrs are lefuslug them al any
price. Oregoli hi a heavily wooded state
and has copious rains. This year It has
excessively heavy precipitation, As a
consequence, the liver has been a Hood
unit Its fresh water has been foiced far
out Into Ihe ocean. The salmon net n
taste of the Iresh 'water mid follow It
Into the mouth of the river tiud then up
llie stream. The schools ate so thick
thai It is possible to catch the fish by
scooping tlu-Mi out of the win r vvilh
wheels, attached to the float ol scows
or rigged on piers jutting out into the
water. These wheels lesemble the
paddle wheels of an old-fashioned .Mis
sissippi boal. extending the whole
width of the vessel, and having blades
that form pockets between each of the
radiating arms. The llsh swim into
these pin kets. are lilted out of the
water am! east upon the deck. Mr. Ful
ton saw a freight ear being loaded vvilh
i holco frozen salmon, and was sur
prised to learn they weie being sent lo
Copenhagen, Denmmk. via New York.
This one linn ships about sevenl.v -live
ears a season.
Mr. Fulton was in the northwest at
the time of the shooting of Picsideiit
McKinle.v. He saw Indians and hall
breeds lioin the Hitter Hoot its-rva-
lion, in .Montana, tiding lil'ly milts
dally to secure bulletins of the -ne.-i-detits
condition.

The west holds Pivldenl Moosrvell
