ALASKA. Some important facts respect- 

 ing the population and resources of Alaska 

 have been obtained by the late agent, Mr. Ivan 

 Petroff, for taking the census of that region. 

 The entire Alaskan country as far north as the 

 Yukon was examined, and tabulated reports 

 are given, village by village, of the inhabitants. 

 The people of the Territory may be divided as 

 follows: 1. The Innuit or Esquimau race, which 

 predominates in numbers and covers the littoral 

 margin of all Alaska, from the British bound- 

 ary on the Arctic to Norton Sound, of the lower 

 Yukon and Kuskokvim, Bristol Bay, the Alas- 

 kan Peninsula, and Kodiak Island, mixing in, 

 also, at Prince William Sound. 2. The Indians 

 proper, spread over the vast interior in the 

 north, reaching down to the sea-board at Cook's 

 Inlet and the mouth of Copper River, and 

 lining the coast from Mount Saint Elias south- 

 ward to the boundary, and peopling Alex- 

 ander Archipelago. 3. Least in numbers, but 

 first in importance, the Aleutian race, extend- 

 ing from the Shutnagin Islands westward to 

 Atto the ultima Thule of this country. The 

 grand total of population is : whites, 392 ; 

 Creoles, 1,683 ; Aleuts, 2,214 : Innuits of Ko- 

 diak, 2,196 ; of Togiak, 1,826; of Bristol Bay, 

 2,099 ; of Kuskokvim, 3,505 ; of Yukon, 3,359 ; 

 of Behring Sea, 1,533; of the Arctic coast, 

 2,990; Indians, 8,401 total, 30,178.
