INCREASE IN MINING ON SEWARD PENINSULA
Our chief industry of this section—mining—has
in 1936 received such a powerful increase that it is im
possible for the public to overlook the major lights
connected with this increase and the interest, new capi
tal. new organizations, and additional population which
arc rapidly coming into the country.
Primarily the price of gold at S35.00 an ounce has
influenced mining people to investigate carefully, gro
und which in the past was on the border line of low or
profitable ground to work. In the past where it was
found that the pay was a trifle to low for the invest
ment. the mineral has been allowed to remain in the
ground and no efforts were made to extract it. Now,
however, we have a different outlook. Former low
grade ground has been elevated to the position where
it is definitely established that sizeable profits in gold
mining can be realized by opening up these former
areas.
Capital, lying dormant, and put to no use. has been
interested and where the prospectus has been direct
and clear, showing truthfully what the possibilities of
development will result in. is rapidly becoming cogniz
ant of the fact that at and near Nome, and other sec
tions on Seward Peninsula, there are many areas of
gold bearing ground which can be obtained for the pur
pose of development and mining.
Exceptionally encouraging has become the status
of the Kougarok section north of Nome, with this year’s
influx of mining organizations and interested parties.
Other sections of Seward Peninsula such as Teller to
the west of Nome, Candle to the north, Council and
Haycock to the West, and various individual organiza
tions within a few miles radius of Nome, all show tre
mendously strong interest and indications of a power
ful development beginning this year and beyond doubt
extending for many years.
With this development we are gradually receiving
a boost in population; not the population of the early
gold rush days of coming to Alaska to get rich quick,
but a population of a steady and industrious people, in
terested in the development of this industry and the
country which relies on gold mining as its chief asset.

NEW YORK. June 13—The piers of trans-Atlantic
steamship lines are swarming again with Europe bound
Americans in an atmosphere reminiscent of the days
before those feverish doings in wall street in 1929- A
survey indicated that every major sailing until mid
July is a sell out already. Two big lines said they
were turning away people vainly hoping for the last
minute cancellations at current sailings.
MADRID, June 13—The Spanish government at
tempting to check the flight of capital that followed the
February leftist election victory, asserted it had dis
covered a huge currency smuggling syndicate and two
employees of an American controlled concern were
held for questioning. Police said five million Pesitas
was smuggled from this country into France in disre
gard of stringent foreign exchange regulations.
