Valdez Chamber of Commerce Talked
Subject Of A Tax On the Production
Martin Harrais Proposal to Abol
ish Territorial Tax of 1 to 1%
Per Cent on Gold and Substi
tute $1.00 Per Ounce.
The principal discussion at the
meeting of the Valdez Chamber
of Commerce November 10th was!
the proposal of U. S. Commission
er Martin Harrais to place a tax
of one dollar an ounce on all
gold produced by either lode or
placer properties in the Terri
tory. In a resolution introduced
last week Mr. Harrais pointed
out that the moneys collected
could be administered by the
Territorial Board of Road Com
missioners and the Territorial
Highway Engineer, to build air
ports, trails and roads “to all
promising mines.”
The matter was placed under
consideration by the members,
and discussion deferred until this
week, a committee being appoint
ed to investigate its effect upon
mining.
The committee consisted of J.
W. Gilson and C. W. Poy. Mr.
Gilson, in appearing before the
members, said he could not re
port favorably on its adoption.
He believed it impractical; that
it would be ruinous to the min
ing industry to pay the tax, and
read an article on the subject
from the Alaska Weekly, on the
double taxation imposed. As
gold mining is non-competitive
and the government the sole con
sumer, making the double tax

Captain Benson
To Mine Gold
Under Ocean
(Continued From Page One)
the idea of submarine gold min
ing when on the Nome beaches
at the turn of the century. At
that early Alaska camp he per
ceived that the marginal sands
were always richer after a storm,
indicating to him that there was
a great storehouse of gold in the
gravels that were constantly cov
ered by water. His and others’
explorations have proved this to
be a fact, he said.
At the luncheon the captain
explained in detail the operation
of his dredges, backing his theor
ies of the workability of the
plan with illustrations of practi
cal tests with the machines.
Has Been Away
Captain Benson, who has not
been in Alaska for many years,
is extremely enthusiastic about
the country upon his return. He
compared it with his native home
of Arctic Norway, where people
have lived and thrived for many
generations in an area where the
climate is more severe, the soil
less fertile, and the resources
considerably fewer than in Al
aska. He intimated the tremen
dous possibilities of the land, but
deplored its lack of adequate
population, however, but a great
deal of boosting would help it
tremendously, he said.
Under the latter category, he:
said, he intended to do his share
while in the States this winter.
That this was no idle boast he
said he made a great collection
of pictures to be made into slid
es and had accumulated newspap
er articles as the basis for talks.
George McDonald, one of Cap
tain Benson’s guests, expressed
the sentiment of the group and
of Cordova, when he said the
city had enjoyed his stay here and
was proud to have him choose
Cordova as his headquarters. Mr.
McDonald, on behalf of others
present, promised sincerest coop
eration to his enterprise.
The tuberculosis death rate of
girls and young women between
the ages of 15 and 25 is one and
one-half times that of boys and
young men of the same ages.
