DEVELOPMENT OF MINING
Ketchikan citizens interested in mining develov
ment have urged for years that an assay office be estab
lished there. Only lately, a request has been made
again that a resident engineer be stationed in Ketchi
kan by the government. This engineer could make
appropriate field surveys. He could investigate and
report on likely prospects so that other government
agencies might be guided intelligently in the construc
tion of trails or even of roads. He could study ore
samples. In short, a competent engineer could do
much toward developing the mining industry in this
section.
But the territorial commissioner of mines, B. D. Ste
wart, has informed the Chamber of Commerce that the
well of federal funds to provide for such an engineer1
has about dried up. He said that officials in Washing-1
ton and congressmen who make the laws both are
agreed that the increased gold price makes it possible
for the mining industry itself to foot some of the cost;,
of development.
Mr. Stewart, of course, is in sympathy with Ket- :
chikan's hope to foster mining development. His co
operation can be depended on. And when he says that
the best means of obtaining funds is through the terri
torial legislature, we may be sure he is right.
We cannot express chagrin because Washington
doesn’t want to foot any more bills. Especially is this
true when we realize that todate the mining industry
of Alaska has not had to share any proportionately big
share of taxation. There is no reason now why either
Washington or other Alaskan industries should bear
the entire burden of aiding the mining industry. It
has reached the stage where it can help itself.
This being so, the next legislature may be able to
co-ordinate territorial appropriations so as to give the
potential mining industry a substantial boost. This
should not. of course, take the form of the old prospec
tors’ aid fund, which was extremely wasteful. But
some such program as Ketchikan men have suggested
would doubtless be of great benefit. And proportion
ately the cost would not be too great.—Ketchikan Al
aska Chronicle.
