WHAT OF MINING AIDS
J - .1 ■ -
With all the talk of planning
councils, territorial and national,
and what it is intended to do for
-Alaska, what of the aids to the
great basic mining industry, par
amount in importance to Interior
as well other sections of Alaska,
Scanning the personnel of the
national and territorial boards,
one sees various official heads
hut few directly concerned in
actual mining. One heavily in
terested in mining in this vicinity
is on the territorial council, but
the mining industry has scant if
any direct representation on the
National Board.
To put over facts as to the needs
of the prospector and the opera
tor of Interior Alaska, well for
■anulated and positive recommend
ations should be lodged with the
two groups. There is no time to
lose.
What will put Alaska forward
more than anything else, is the
discovery and opening of new
mineral fields. The man to make
this possible is the prospector.
Something must be done to en
courage and aid him in the great
task that lies before him. Air
fields and communications, high
ways. and the like, all will facili
tate the opening of Alaska—but
the prospector must blaze the
way.
The how of the matter calls for
the most serious consideration &
action. Alaska once had tens of
thousands of men scouting her
hills and vales looking for plac
ers, and occasionally stumbling
across lode propert ies. Now the
army of prospectors is but a cor
poral’s guard in comparison.
The mineralized areas of Alas
ka are scarcely scratched—es
pecially in respect to quart. Let
this fact be driven home and the
respective councils be kept aware
of the situation through every
j !
channel of appeal.
To Trake Alaska fundamentally
and permanently prosperous and
to stop her ahead as she should
be, something decidedly must be
done to stimulate and aid the
prospector and to multiply his
numbers and to encourage the
mining operator and the mining
investor.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
PROSPERITY FOLLOWS
DISCOVERIES
(Denver Mining Record)
News of rich strikes started the
pioneers on their western rush,
and since that time the publica
tion of mining news has stimulat
ed the investment of capital in!
this great industry. An effort,
was made to keep the gold strike
of '49 in California a secret, but
that effort was naturally unsuc
cessful. There are selfish inter
ests in the mining industry, as in'
every other industry, but the
news of gold strikes will sooner
or later get to the public.
States, towns and districts are
entitled to any good that comes I
from the discovery of rich ore.'
There are selfish interests who
would keep an oil strike Secret,
just as others would keep a gold
strike secret. A gusher tells its,
own story, while a gold gonanza
causes no change in the surface
appearance of a mining property.
Fortune seekers rush to new min
ing districts and oil fields in the
hope of being among the early
birds. Prosperity follows in the
wake of new ore discoveries. So
it is in the discovery of new oil
fields. Cripple Creek, Ranger,
' Leadville, Goldfields, Mexia and
hundreds of other great mining
and oil districts made new mill
ionaires and made poor men rich
overnight.

Found Bead In
Cabin Today
The news of the death of Cath
erine Amarok, native girl, daugh
ter of Jos Amarok, was reported
last night to Dr. Thomas Morcom
by Billy Gunn.
Dr. Morcom was called by Gunn
to go to his cabin on the Sandspit
where he investigated and found
that the girl had died, death ap
parently might have been caused
by heart failure, following pro
longed drinking, which evidence
was gained by the doctor from
various sources.
News of the death of the Ama
rok girl, aged about 19 years, was
transmitted to U. S. Commission
er Tanner, but in as much as Dr.
Morcom r: ported there were no
