NEW CHANCE FOR ALASKA MINERS
Everyone interested in Alaska mining—and every live
Alaskan should be—will find a new avenue for opportunity
opened in the plan of the federal government to make ten
million dollars available for loans to the mining industry.
Not to exceed $20,000 will be loaned on any individual
property Many a property will be able to get under way
with a fraction of that sum.
The sum required for initiating many a hardrock or
placer proposition of merit need not be large. Oftentimes
modest equipment will get a property producing in such a
way it will yield enough to expand operations until tens or
hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment—and
sometimes millions can be negotiated through customary
financial or business channels.
The big thing after locating a likely proposition is to
get started. The government has wisely recognized this fact.
Therefore sums up to $20,000 per property will be made
available.
Many fine properties in Alaska have been retarded in
their development because of lack of means for the initial
work.
Certain Anchorage people are known already to be
planning to wire to Washington to ask for loans under the
new plan. Many others in Alaska should catch the spirit
and send their requests.
Precaution must be taken not to request aid for mere
wildcat propositions. Anyone doing so will waste his time.
The government will have competent engineers or geologists
make examinations of properties before advancing the loans,
the fake operator will only get himself into hot water and
expose himself as false. He better think twice and keep
out of it from the start.
But the man with property of merit, willing to get in
and work to make good, will have the hearty endorsement
of every fair-minded individual and of the government.
A new opportunity is knocking at the door of Alaska
miners. Alaska’s mineral output may be stepped up mil
' libns by seizing this new opportunity.—Anchorage Times.
A survey shows that more babies were born to parents
on relief than to the same number not on relief. Uncle Sam
always was a generous godfather.
