Prospect Alaska!
Plan Rex Beach
Draws Interest
(Continued from Page Uriel
recently again approached
on this subject.
Mr. Beach’s plan, almost
identical to the plan as stud
ied by the men just men
tioned, in its origin, called
for the employment of from
20,000 to 50,000 men. After
many months of investiga
tion and much study, the
whole plan was boiled
down to the point wherein
a communication from the
officials in Washington, D.
C. , expressed their interest
in the plan on. an experi
mental basis with perhaps
500 or 1000 men That hap
pened a couple of years ago
and from all reliable sour
ces of information it rests
there;—only because we
Alaskans have neglected to
show the proper, enthusi
asm and the proper spirit
of cooperation so necessary
in a subject of this nature,
to gain the requisite consid
eration and recognition to
get a program such as this
routed out of Washingtop,
D. C. and on to Alaska
We all know too well the
obstacles that our Delegate
MrDimond and other cham
pions of the Territory are
confronted with in our Cap
ital. No doubt Mr. Beach,
after his recent encounter
there is at this time mar
shalling his forces for a re
newed attack. Rex Beach
is going to need help—a lot
of help—from Alaska and
Alaskans.
Anyone who has seen and
studied the proposed plan
to prospect Alaska, can
readily recognize its intim
ate, economic importance
to every individual within
the Territory. It has fair
promise of becoming the
utmost of importance to
the future development of
Alaska as a whole, apart
from the fact of increasing
the gold production of the
entire nation, so sorely
needed at this time.
Much good work and sin
cere effort has already been
applied by individuals and
other small groups to bring
about the realization of this
worthy plan; but never be
fore has it had the support
of such an impelling force
as the publicity that Mr.
Beach has given and will
continue to give, if we who
are to be directly benefit t
ed will make a demonstra
tion of our willingness to
cooperate.
It calls for action on the
part of our Cham’o. r of
Commerce and other repre
sentaiive groups and organ
izations to take the initia
tive in the support of tMs
vital issue. Every merchant
and business man and more
particularly every com
mercial air transport com
pany in the territory, who
are to figure so prominent
ly in the plan, should make
it a point to contact our Mr.
Beach and lend their en
couragement to the fulfill
ment of this plan.
In part Mr. Beach’s artic
le reads, “Where are we
going to find the prospec
tors.” I think it a timely
suggestion, that the pros
pectors and miners in this
district form themselves in
to an organization—bend
every effort in support of
the plan—become an effic
ient functional body,whom
the officials cannot possibly
overlook and when the time
comes to prove the worth
and practicability of this
pkm*^even on a small scale,
let us prove it first, right
here on Seward Peninsula.
Mr. Editor, I stand ready
and willing to take a part
and I feel certain that with
the help of the Nome Daily
Nugget,its friends and sub
scribers we can and will re
cruit an ample force to
help Rex Beach to carry
on.
