FOR HIGHER WAGES

WASHINGTON, May 5 th, (^tp)—
President Roosevelt stated that
the government, would give ready
assistance to any movement on
.he part of industry to rid itself
of the evils of cut throat compe
tition, in his address before the
United States Chamber of Com
merce last night.
Discussing the question as to
whether industrial regulations
should fee made toy the govern
ment or by business itself, the
Chief Executive called for a rising
wage scale. He asked the (busi
ness men to be more concerned
to restore general prosperity than
with bettering their own particu
lar branch of industry, calling at
tention to the "slight but definite
up turn of most Industries, and
the simultaneous rise in commod
ity prices."
Roosevelt said that past exper
ienee - Indicated—that “when the
price level begins to rise, after a
long period of declining commod
ity prices, wages which have been
previously curtailed, lag behind
the rise of the price level. 1
therefore ask you to refrain from
further reduction of wages of em
ployees, and also to increase the
wage scales in conformity with
the rise level of commodity prises,
in so far as this lies within your
power..**

SEWARD PENINSULA AGOG
OVER RECENT DISCOVERY
OP LODE GOLD DEPOSITS
"Alaska is surely coming into its
own under the 'new deal' inaug
urated by the new administra
tion," declared An'onio Polet, pro
minent merchant of Nome and sec
rotary of the Northwestern Alaska
Chamber of Commerce, who ar
rived in Seattle from the North
recently on the S. S. Alaska,
accompanied iby Mrs. Polet. on a
combined business and pleasure
trip. They made the long journey
south by airplaue, railroad and
steamer, and for their say in
Seattle have taken quarters in the
Spring Apartment. Mr. Polet has
business transactions that will en
gage him in this city for a week
or more, after which he will just
"take it easy" for a couple of
weeks before returning north.
Mrs. Polet will remain Outside
for a more extended visit.
We of Nome estimate that there
ere 1.500 people in that city this
winter, a larger numiber than for
many years past," said Mr. Polet.
“We knew there were nore stay-at
homes than usual, but that fact;
was not. fully carried home to us
until school started last September
when It was found thinty more pu
pils were enrolled in the schools
than the allotted number of teacn
era could care for. Permission was
asked for and granted by the Com
missioner of Education for an ad
ditional teacher, and the teacher
made the trip tp Nome quickly by
airplane.
"A part or me unusual winter
activity was accounted for by the
fact that for a while the MGM
moving picture troupe was in
Nome with a large number of Es
kimo 1 extras’ but as a matter of
fact there were many more per
manent residents there this win
ter than usual.
“When I said Alaska is coming
lido its own I meant just that,
for in the contacts the Nort iwes»
A'fePka Chamber'of Commerce has
with the other commercial bodies
of the Territory. I know the pro
gress that has been made In the
development of the North. But it
mgs panttoularly to Seward Penin
sula that I was referring.
We hare forged ahead in a Sub
stantial and gratifying .way in the
last few years, (particularly in the
last year, and with the increased
activities in different .fields of en
deavor that are known to be a
certainty this coming season, our
section will advance materially In
new developments.
“In (this respect mining, of
course will take the lead, and qua
rts mining has every appearance of
developing into s great industry.
Ever since the days . of the dis
covery of the great deposits of
Placer gold on the beaches between
Bluff and Nome, the origin of
these placers have been the object
of search, and within the laat few
week* efforts to discover the
source of the beach gold supply
have been crowned with success.
“Charles E. Berg, brother of
Peter Berg, oldtlme miner of the
Nome section, and himself an ex
perienced bard rock miner, went
North three or four years ago.
and while prospecting on the hill
side found gold bearing quartz
that has every prospect of devel
oping into great lode property.
This discovery was made last fall,
but Berg did not make his find
public until a short time before
I left Nome for Seattle. Berg
has located what are known as
the Philadelphia lode claimB 6 and
one half miles from Nome at the
head of Tripple Creek and on
the Qrfborne Road west of Nome
River. *
“Berg sank four shaft's aver
aging 18 feet in depth, 25 feet
apart, on an Incline following the
vein, and found the same cond
itions in the four shafts. Berg
had found considerable placer on
Tripple Creek and followed the
gold ‘back into the hills up the
steep .mountain.
“Two assays of samples of the
ore taken by Berg were sent to
the United States Bureau of Mines
at the Fairbanks College of Mines
and returned a value of $27.16
per ton in silver and gold. An
other picked sample was sent to
Philadelphia in December which
showed a value of $47.18.
"To show the geology of the
claime, Berg took six samples con
tiguous to the veins. The first
sample contained greenstone, cal
otte and amphtbloe. The second
sample srystoline limestone of mar
foie, containing dolomite. The
third sample, calcite mineral sprlnk
led wfth iron pyrites containing
gold and silver. Fourth .(ample,
nothing font amphifcole, oxidised.
Fifth sample, schistose, limestone
and quarts. Birth sample, nothing
but mica schist.
"The discovery Is significant
because of the very favorable com
position otf the minerals uncover
ed, which are said to contain the
mineral element necessary tor the
development of a great mine. If
the values hold up with depth
there is no questlno that one of
the sources of the great placer
gold deposits on the Norton Sound
beaches has foeen solved and that
other great lode claims will be dis
covered, opening up an area sixty
miles, in length for the develop
ment of quarts mines."—Alaska V
