ALASKA’S GOLDEN
HARVEST.
Great news comes from
the goldfields of Alaska—
cheering news of a banner
output this year.
Recent dispatches stated
the yellow metal shipped
from the Territory in Octo
ber totaled $3,268,000 as
compared to $1,919,000 for
the same month last year.
November shipments soon
will be completed, thus
rounding out the bulk of
the 1935 shipments.
All productive months
this year have witnessed
decided increases over
those of last year.
Under the incentive of
the higher price of gold,
numerous new dredging,
dragline, hydraulic and in
dividual placer operations
have been under way this
season. Hard rock proper
ties are stepping up their
yield and the number of
producers steadily increas
es.
The new price of gold
doubled the width of the
pavstreak in Alaska. That
meant doubling or multi
plying the life of gold pro
perties in Alaska.
Nothing could hurt Alas
ka as much as setting the
price of gold back to the
old figures of $20.67 an oz.
Such action would paralyze
Alaska, closing down num
erous operations and throw
ing an army of men out of
work.
If the sometime mooted
program of increasing the
price of gold to $41.34. or
double the old price were
put into effect, gold mining
in Alaska again would be
vastly augmented. How
ever. as it is,numerous new
dredges and other equip
ment have been installed,
and Alaska is indeed enjoy
ing golden days.
Fairbanks, as the golden
heart of the interior of Al
aska, is the major producer
and has many years assur
ed life for her mines. Her
hard rock as well as her
placers will engage the at
tention of many for long
years to come.
Nome has enjoyed a bet
ter season in gold mining
this year than any time
since her rush days.
Numerous other placer
fields have similar exper
iences to repoi't. The old
Klondike is in the same cat
egory, installing new dredg
es and preparing to open up
ground long considered too
low grade to be worth
while.
Such is the epic story of
gold throughout the North
land today. With all this
golden return today and
promise of a large return
for years to come Alaska’s
future glows bright, but it
will be far brighter if the
prospector be provided
many urgent needs and his
number increased through
out the land.
It will pay Uncle Sam im
mensely to do all possible
to maintain and increase

While the gold output mou

purchases in proportion,

In Favor Bonus
Nye stated that both
houses of congress were ov
erwhelmingly in Favor of
paying the soldiers bonus at
the next session. Some of
the congressmen thought
the session would be wound
up quickly, and many oth
ers thought that it might
be long and drawn out.
The leaders agreed that
the new commonwealth gov
ernment in the islands fac
es problems of finance, and
national defense, but most
of them were optimistic of
the ultimate success of the
venture. Vice Present ;

. HAVE YOU TRIED
CO MAX COAL?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. H. ii. Pkrmmer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last, summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
