PROSPECTORS NEEDED
(Valdez Miner)
Alaska is badly in need of pros
pectors. Thousands of square
miles in the Territory have nev
er been trod by foot of man and
may never be. The opportunities
are there buit we have no one to
take advantage of them.
Prospecting in this day of the
airplane is much easier and far
cheaper than in the days of the
back pack or dog team. Nowa
days one can land within a short
distance from his prospecting
area and take in a load large
enough to support him all sum
mer, for a very reasonable price.
With no dogs to feed or worry
about, the prospector only^ has to
provide for himself and partner.
The recent rich strike by the
Ruff and Tuff mines, nearly in
sight of Valdez, is an indication
of how rich ore bodies can be
overlooked in the anxiety to see
what is over the hill. This rich
lode lay practically in sight for
many years before a prospector
a little better posted than the
average, discovered it, by acci
dent as it were.
The present-day youth will not
prospect. The life does not ap
peal to him, with its hardships
and its lack of amusements he
has become customed to. The
idea has become too common, the
-hills and valleys are too familiar.
One by one, the present-day
mines are being worked out, with
a scattering few new locations.
These are all made by old sour
■ doughs. Not one can be placed
to the credit of the younger gen
i eration. The rewards are too slow
for them.

HARSH. BUT HARMLESS
(Nerw York Times)
International bad manners is
one reason why there will be no
war in Europe. That in substance
is the opinion of Maurice Duper-:
rey, head of the Rotary Interna
tional, here on a visit from Paris.
He emphasized the numerous pro
vocations between nations since
the Armistice which have passed
off quietly. In the past these
would have been considered “good
and sufficient reasons for an ap
peal to force.”
M. Duperrey has here touched
upon an important truth. It is
one which nervous people ought
to keep in mind in this present
era of endless crises and provoca
tions. Wild inter-national words
no longer mean what they used
to mean. Heads of State in the
thinnest-veiled language now call
each other pirate, or enemy of
mankind and ivilization, or pigs
trying to clamber into a neigh
bor's cabbage patch. Nobody
minds very much. In the new
international life it is true that
fine words butter no parsnips,1
but it is some consolation that
hard words break no bones.

Among the strange things done
'neath the Midnight Sun will be
■this: Sherman A. Noyes, of the
law firm otf Clasby & Noyes, go
ing out as an itinerant attorney,
with dog team and river boat,
around 7,000 miles of Alaska.

from Fairbanks this week, accord
ing to the Fairbanks News-Miner

“The compiled Laws of Alaska—
1933," the 1935 and the 1937 “ses
sion laws,” and his notary seal.
7000 Mile Route
Thoir route will be; by truck to
Big Delta, then by dog team up
the Tanana Valley to Tanacross:
over the Nudzotin range to the
mouth of Nabezna river; then to
Chisana, and from Chisana to the

To Ship Dogs
Noyes said that they plan to
ship their dogs by steamer from
Dawson to Nome.
As the partners float down the
mighty Yukon river they may tie
up at Circle next summer so that
Noyes can make a brief trip to
Fairbanks.
Although well equipped, they
will travel as light as possible.

boggan, with detachable runners,
drawn by his team of seven mal
amutes.
