MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
MR, BEACH AND
GOLD MINING
Rex Beach has an article
in the January Cosmopoli
tan. It is called, “The Place
Is Alaska—The Business Is
Gold Mining.” The article
is illustrated with striking
photographs which cannot
help but do much to make
readers Alaska-conscious.
Incidentally, Mr. Beach’s
article—following his early
successes in Alaskan fiction
which still are widely read
—must carry considerable
weight. Not only that, but
his article is one of dozens
that have appeared in na
tional magazines concern
ing the Territory during
the past few months.
Certainly, Alaska has had
more national publicity lat
ely than in many, many
years before. And what
ever is said about Alaska—
whether we agree with jt
or not—must have some
sort of good effect.
“With a little help,” Mr.
Beach writes,“Alaska could
put to work at once an
army of men. She could of
fer them permanent employ
ment with a chance of lar
ge profits later on.
“I revisited the country
last summer and made a
survey of conditions. I talk
ed with old-timers and chee
chakos, mining men, busi
ness and professional men.
All agree that the country
is rich in mineral resources
—placer and quartz mines
as yet undiscovered—and
that it needs and can sup
port several times its pres
ent population. Much of it
has barely been explored
and some of it isn’t even
mapped. It is a land of op
portunity which, owing to
peculiar circumstances, is
lying fallow.”
Canada, Mr. Beach says,
faced a similar state of af
fairs,but increased her min
eral output and today is the
third largest gold producer
in the world. She did this,
he says, by making aerial
photographs from which
“expert geologists back in
Ottawa were able to detect
outcroppings and trace for
mations in a manner impos
sible otherwise.
“Obviously, to unlock Al
aska, the thing to do is to
copy the Canadian techni
que and apply it where con
ditions are favorable.”
The idea certainly is not
without its merits.We won
der if some good cannot be
done by having the geolog
ical survey in Washington
make a thorough study of
the aerial photographs tak
en by the navy department.
