GOVERNOR TROY
FOR DEVELOPMENT
OF ALASKA MINING
Territorial Executive In His An
nual Report Makes Recommenda
tions for Betterments.
Recommendations for the vigorous
development of gold mining by
means of governmental encourage
ment to prospectors are made by
Governor John W. Troy in his annual
A
message^ to the Secretary of the In
terior; The Governor suggests how
improvments can be effected in all
activities in Alaska. He says:
“1. Continued growth of Alaska de
pends largely upon vigorous develop
ment of mining — particularly gold
mining. Such development would
cause expansion of population and
increase of all phases of human acti
vity. Title to nearly all the mineral
lands in Alaska is in the federal gov
ernment. The federal government
should assist in the development of
this land, and to that end, I urge su
fficient appropriations for the Unit
1 ed States Geological Survey and
Bureau of Mines to do this work and
to permit their cooperation with the
Territory and the office of the Terri
torial mining organization.
Quick Examinations Needed
“The increase in gold valuation
will foster gold mining development
but a system of quick examinations
.of new and.old disooveries would
! stimulate prospecting and contribute
to mining development. The area and
resources of Alaska would provide,
i if developed, relief for the over-pop
ulation of congested centers through
out the country. People brought to
‘Alaska to prospect for gold and find
ing employment in public works
'would furnish population that would
make markets for agricultural pro
ducts, timber, and other resources
of the Territory.
“2. I earnestly urge that the fisher
ies resources of the Bering Sea and
Arctic Ocean be investigated and sur
veyed in accordance with the prog
ram suggested by a memorial to
Congress passed by the last legisla
ture.
_
Title To Fur Farms
“3. The Federal Government ought
to grant to fur farmers title to not
less than 160 acres of the lands they
now occupy through leases or other-.
wise, and upon which their improve
ments are located.
“4. There should be greater coop
eration by the offidfe of Indian Affairs
and Federal and Territorial agencies
| in aiding destitute, aged and afflicted
Indians, and Congress should make
larger appropriations for this pur
pose. „ •
“5. I believe that the bills intro
duced in the last Congress by the
Alaska Delegate, Anthony J. Dim
ond, transferring the control of the
fisheries and the game of Alaska to
the Territory ought to become laws.
.1
“(i. There should be greater activ
ity on the part of the Federal Gov
ernment toward the extermination of
"predatory animals and other enemies
of the fish, game animals and game
birds of the Territory.
Appropriations For Parks
“7. I urge liberal appropriations
for the improvement of national
parks and monuments and the en
couragement of ^purist travel in Al
aska.
‘'8. Efficient management of the
Alaska Railroad has practically el
iminated the deficit in connection
with its operation. The railroad, as
well as highways, air fields, etc,,
should be treated liberally and their
utilization to the fullest extent en
couraged.
“9. In the development of Alaska,
perhaps the greatest need which the
gbvernment can supply is adequate
transportation. I have especially in
mind roads, trails, bridges, and air
service. In order to develop the re
sources of the Territory the Federal
Government should be liberal in
contributing to all these things. Right
now, perhaps, the matter of para
mount importance is the develop
ment of air service and of first con
sequence in air service is air-mail
routes.
Mail Route Through Territory
“A mail route through the Terri
tory from the States to Nome with
airports in Ketchikan, Juneau, Fair-|
banks, Nome and other ports. A
route from Fairbanks to the Kusko-1
kwim country at Bethel is also great
ly needed. This would require not
only funds for carrying the mail hut
the building and improving of air
fields and other aids for aerial in
vestigaitons where necessary. Not
only is quick distribution of mails
essential, the operation of planes on
scheduled routes would be impossib
le without mail contracts. I earn
estly recommend appropriations for
all phases of this transportation idea.
“10. I urge the extension of a com
prehensive program of survey for!

the public domain in Alaska as a
means of increasing population.
“11. The construction of an inter
national highway connecting the
highways of the United States, thru
British Columbia and Yukon Ter
i
ritory, with the highways of Alaska
would contribute immeasureably to
the growth of Alaska and it ought to
be built at the earliest possible time.
Power For Reindeer Supervisor ' [
“12. I believe the general reindeer
supervisor should be given all of the
authority that is necessary to carry
out his recommendations on the field
“13. The Governor's Office should j
have at least one more competent se
cretary at a good salary.
“14. Shiall-boat harbors should be
built at Juneau, Petersburgh, Cor
dova, and in all important fishing
points, where they are needed sim
ilar to the ports built by the federal
government at Ketchikan, Seward, j
and Wrangell. Improvement to har-|
bors and waterways should be con-i
tinued and speeded up Special atten
tion is called, in addition to pro-i
jects under way and heretofore men-1
tioned, to provide a breakwater at'
Haines, which has not yet been in
the picture, and Haines is becoming
an important point and develop
ments indicate that its importance
will increase. ^
Coast Guard Bases
I
“15. I recommended the contin-i
uance of bases for Coast Guard ships
at Juneau and Ketchikan and the
establishment of two similar bases
in the third division
“16 The establishment of naval and
army bases in Alaska is urged. Al
aska’s position on the shortest route
j to the Orient would give submar
ines and airplanes command over
the sea and make impossible a host
' ile movement of fleets of warships or
transports against the American
Pacific Coast. To cooperate with the
Navy there should be Army air
planes, and other army forces.
“17. And this above all: I urge
the granting of full Territorial gov
ernment to Alaska.”

County Decides
To Give Pension
(By The Associated Press)
BARRON, Wis., Jan. 21—A novel
contract with Barron county places
Alex Bauer, ^74-year-old farmer,
in a carefree tuition. Ir^ exchange
for his 40-acre farm he will receive
$25 a month as long as he lives,
medical care for the rest of his life
and a “decent Christian burial”.
Some members of the county board
doubted the wisdom and legality of
the action, but backers of the plan
said that if the county refused the
offer Bauer would probably sell the
land, and spend the money and
would soon be a county charge.
