The Yukon's $200,000,000 spate of gold has now become a mere $100,000 yearly trickle, but chilly Yukon's 207,076 sq. mi. are rich with uncut timber, unexploited copper, lead, coal, fish, game.

Although he is well known the world over for his political activities, he also is an eminent scholar, having studied the economics of trade for many years.
