Review of reviews and world's work . SEWARD. RESURRECTION BAY. THE COASTAL TERMINAL OF THE ALASKA CENTRAL CORDOVA. PRINCE WILUAM SOUND. THE COASTAL TERMINAL OF THE COPPER RIVER RAILWAY. 62 THE AMERICAN REyiEU/ OF REI/IEIVS. part remain throughout the ^ear. The coast-al settlements and scattered lode districts in-clude a population of ten to fifteen thousandmore. It is probable, therefore, that thetotal permanent white population is betweenthirty-five and forty thousand people, aug-mented in summer by ten to fifteen thousandmore. To these must be added the natives,including Indians and Eskimos, and totalingprobably twenty-five thousand souls. As the natives figure but little in the in-dustries, which yielded $33,000,000 in 1907,this must be credited to the white popula-tion, and shows a per capita production ofbetween $700 and $800.
