JUNEAU, Oct. 9. — Criti
cism was voiced here today
of the plan to draw up an
Alaska development program
by federal agencies in Wash
ington, D. C., on the grounds
that Alaska has many men
who are more capable of re
commending means for such
a development, than anyone
in the national capitol.
Juneau Empire Comments
JUNEAU, Oct. 9, — Comment
ing on the fact that the Alaska
Development program is to be
drawn up in Washington, D. C.
by federal agencies without com
plete consultation with Alaska
interests, the Juneau Empire ed
itorially says, that it would be
impossible in the short time re
maining before the first of the
year when the plan is to be sub
mitted, to get adequate sugges
tions from Alaskans.
“Our Territorial officials are
equipped with sound data on
Alaska and its needs. Surely
they should be consulted just
as much as federal officials.”
Who Is Better Qualified
The mpire further says that
Federal agencies propose to draw
up a plan on areial development.
But who is better qualified than
the members of our Alaska Aero
nautical Commission?
“The false, old theory which
revailed for years in Washing
ton, that Alaska was for the sole
benefit of the bureaucrats in
Washington to try out their id
eas on, continues.” said the edi
torial.
Friend in White House
The Empire added: Alaska in
terests are not going to fold up.
They know htyehav ?,jJ q
They know they have a friend
in the White House, for the first
time in many years, who is ready
to listen to Alaska's plea.
Cooperative Heads
“They have a cooperative at
titude from the head of the In
terior Department and the Dir
ector of Territories, who are
working wholeheartedly with
Governor Troy. They have Dele
gate Dimond who always goes
down the line for Alaska’s cause.
They have an Alaska Planning
Council made up of men appoint
ed by the Governor, who are de
termined to see that the Terri
tory is advanced along sound
lines”.

A TRANS-ATLANTIC MERRY-GO-ROUND of shuttling sky ships across the sea
has been joined by Germany in addition to the United States and Great Britain, all rushing prepar

the Nordmeer being catapulted from its mother ship at Port Washington, N. Y., a few minutes after
its sister craft, the Nordwind, landed nearby. England's bid for Atlantic passengers is through Im

the French and British invitation

was a good idea that Anton Rog
er had —up to a certain point.
Lacking a drill to repair some
farm machinery, Anton decided
to shoot a hole through an iron
bar. He seemed to be making
progress when one of the rifle
bullets bounced back and clipped
away the top of his ear.
Rushed to Reno for medical
attention, Anton said he would
buy a drill.

Nome, October 9, 19 >7
Howdy. Have you been goinj
to school this week" The grad
uates of Mr. Humphrey's class
es on First Aid and Safety can
be distinguished from the ordin
ary run of Nome citizenry by the
hopeful glint in their eyes when
they see some friend take a nasty
spill. It may be an opportun; y
for them to apply their recently
acquired knowledge. It's a go d
idea to have confidence to act
during an emergency, but re
member, the prevention of acci
dents is the most important fact
or in safety
Here at the office, the material
on hand is being gradually .set
up. Of course, no assays or deter
minations can be made till the
rest of the equipment arrives.
M. a awhile the examination uf
lode prospects goes on. Anyone
having a lode prospect to be ex
amined should get in touch v\ . h
me before the first snows.
Have you ever tried to sum
marize the conditions that warr
ant prospecting for lodes? There
are others, but the presence of
outcrops, presence of float, fav
orable geological conditions ar.d
ancient workings cover the most
important.
Presence of outcrops warrants
prospecting to determine wheth
er shoots of commercial ore ex
ist at any points along them
Practically all exposed outcrops
of well known types of ore bod
ies have been located (gold in
quartz veins f"r example.) In
the vicinity of Nome, very few
of them have been systematical
ly sampled. If you’re a deal pro
spector. you will take advantage
of the service offered by the
Territorial Department of Mines
and determine whether or not
your find warrants further exp lor
ation. Besides the exposed ore
bodies, there are those, the out
crops of which are covered by
soil or rock. These are far more
abundant than the former type
but most of them have not yet
been located.
The presence of float, as pieces
of ore. specks of metal or ora
minerals justifies prospecting.
Such discoveries must be consid
ered in connection with local
geology. Thus it is useless to seek
the source of quartz float in a
schist or slate area where indiv
