legislature the steps being taken by
his administration to develop trade
with Pacific rim countries, par
ticularly Japan.
He noted that “numerous delega
tions” of Japanese business and
mineral experts visited his office
during the past year to discuss
possible investments in Alaska.
Hugh J. Wade, Alaska’s secretary
of state, and Phil Holdsworth, com
missioner of natural resources, both
visited Japan during the year, the
governor said, to further incourage
interest in expanded trade.
Mineral Potential
Governor Egan specifically men
tioned mineral deposits in Alaska
that had been under close scrutiny
by private investors for possible
development. During the year, ex
plorations were made into the
Kasaan Peninsula and Badsfield
Canal iron deposits near Ketchi
kan and the Snettisham iron de
posit near Juneau, he said.
Also mentioned for possible early
development was the Tuxedni Bay
iron deposit on Cook Inlet, the
Klukwan iron deposit, and the Ber
ing River and Matanuska coal fields.
Governor Egan disclosed that a
“well-known, responsible Indiana
company” has indicated interest in
utilizing Point Lay and Cape Lis
bourne coal in volume, to be mixed
with coal from eastern states which
“would result in a satisfactory pro
duct for export.”
He further revealed that represnt
{ stives of the Kennecott Copper
Corporation have been extensively
studying the Ruby Creek copper
deposit near Kobuk, northwest of
Kome. The governor said he has
been informed that the Kobuk area
“could provide an operation larger
than the Bigham open pit copper
mine located near Salt Lake City,
Utah.”
winer minis
Other points noted by the gov
ernor were:
1—By the end of May a feasibility
study on Rampart Dam will be re
leased. The report will prove con
clusively that if Rampart Dam is
authorized by Congress there will
be enough potential customers to
utilize its power.
2— By late spring the Alaska De
velopment Corporation hopes to
have resolved existing legal and
technical problems and be ready to
place its initial bond sale on the
market.
3— More miles of highway will be
built during the 1962 season than
in any other year in Alaska’s his
tory.
4— An overall economic develop
ment plan for the state will be pub
lisned by May. included in this re
port will be suggested long-range
programs for future growth.
Greater Coordination
“As our economic development
program accelerates,” the governor
said, “it is becoming increasingly
apparent that greater coordination
of all these development efforts is
needed.”
He said that establishment of a
new Department of Economic De
velopment and Planning would
give greater stature and increased
attention to a program, the import
of which is second to none in this
state government.”
Within the department would
exist a division of industrial devel
opment, an Alaska travel division
and a division of planning and re- ,
search.
As a companion measure, the
governor said he would ask the
legislature to approve a bill estab
lishing an advisory committee on
economic development.
Egan created such a committee
last October by executive order.
Great Opportunities
The governor said that “the pros
pect for developing Alaska's econ
omy on a sound and stable footing
—an economy based on the state's
vast natural wealth—is present to
day as never before in our history.”
He termed the story of Alaska's
growth and progress since state
i hood as “one of the most inspiring
stories in our nation’s history.”
“Some day,” said Egan, “that
! story will be told. But perhaps we
who have lived this story in all its
many details are not the ones to
: tell it. That story will best be left
to those who can view the momen
tous events of this era with greater
perspective.
“I. for one,” he continued, “much
prefer to have lived this story than
to tell. To few people has come the
opportunity for achievement that
has been and is now oui'S.”

College Students
Publish Special
Progress Edition
University or Alaska students
produced a special 20-page edition
of the Polar Star newspaper last
week, presenting for the first time
an overall view of the past, present
and future of the University.
The Lathrop Hall Edition is cen
tered around the opening of the new
Lathrop Hall, 144-man dormitory
this month.
Staff members stated that since
the University is in perhaps the
greatest transitional period of its
history, they felt that this was a
good time to evaluate the progress
of the complex institution.
They said that another purpose
for the edition was to provide a
historical record of the college and
university—this is the first time that
so much information has been
bathered up and presented in one
place.
The Polar Star staff also wishes
to present a full scale picture of the
University to the people of Alaska
and elsewhere and show its import
ant link with other activities of the
state.
Students hope to make the edition
available to Fairbanks residents
through local business houses this
week.
