PUTTING PROSPECTORS
IN THE FIELD
(The Seward Gateway)
To put prospectors in the field,
and keep then-, there, entails the;
same system which obtains in:
any business. Facts must be as-1
semtoled after the primary in
dustry is conceived.
Owing to the fact that mining
has been smothered beneath a de
luge of romance, this system is
only employed by the big organ-I
izations. Their geologists make
the first appraisals of a lode pros
pect, and also survey the geology
encompassing placer laydowns.
Under present business systems
and the general competition of
trade, it has long been a surprise
to the miner that business has
not turned to this field under the
present sytem.
THE BASIC ISSUE
In the controversy over the
Japanese fishing in Bristol Bay
the point has been made that the
Japanese government did not
know or approve of Japanese fish
ing vessels in that area. Perhaps
they did not. And it makes no
material difference, the major
point is whether they are going
to sanction such operations in the
future.
Commenting recently on this
phase of the question, the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer makes this
point:
The chairman of the board of
the Association of Pacific Fisher
ies, H. B. Friele, a leading figure
in the exposure of the menace of
Japanese fishing in Alaska, belie
ves that the Japanese government
d;d not know that its nationals
were taking salmon off the Alas
ka coast and acted in good faith
in assuring this government that
their operations were limited to
crab and bottom fishing.
This government has also had
experiences with citizens who
cheat a little upon occasion. Cer
tainly the abrupt departure of
the Japanese fishing vessels, be- i
fore our state department repre-'
sentative had an opportunity for
a first hand investigation of their
operations, has a suspicious ap-1
pearance.
If it is true that the Japanese
government was imposed upon it
has a clear duty to perform.
There should be a frank acknow
lodgement that it has been deceiv
ed by its own fishing interests it
effective steps should be taken to

didn’t take long (or all the plans
to spread.
see that the offense is not repeat
ed.
The United States government
must not let matters drop with
this.
The main point at issue is not
whether the Japanese fishermen
imposed upon their government,
| or even whether their operations
this year were sufficient to inter
fere materially with American
salmon fisheries.
The fundamental issue is whe
ther the Japanese government in
tends, now or hereafter, to coun
tenance its vessels being sent a
cross the Pacific, to prey upon an
industry built up and preserved
by the expenditures of the United
States.
The only satisfactory settle
ment will be a complete and au
thoratative recognition of the
fact that the protection that our
i government has given the North
Pacific fisheries must not be brok
en down by any alien exploita
tion.

i STREETCAR SYSTEM MODERN
! IZES TO SUCCEED
(By The Associated Press)
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. —Bank
ru.pt seven years, the Indiana
polis streetcar system today is
a thriving concern—thanks to an
$8,000,000 modernization pro
gram begun in 1932 at the depth
of the depression.
The system now operates 326
new streetcars, trackless trolleys
and motor coaches. The 152 track
! less trolleys constitute the larg
i est fleet of this kind in the coun
try. Thirty miles of new track
have been laid, the entire system
unified and schedules improved.
The public has responded. The
daily passengers have increased
from 166,000 in 1932 to 212,500.
