NOME AND ALASKA
DEVELOPING
There seems to be little doubt
that Alaska is moving forward
with an ever-increasing stride
Indications on all sides point to
greater business, greater pros
perity, greater development of
mining than Alaska has witness
ed for many years.
Gold mining, the industry of
Alaska since the gold rush days
which has drawn millions of dol
lars in capital into the country
is the greatest single advance
ment noticeable during the past
three years. With gold at $35 an
ounce every miner and prospec
tor has displayed the awakening
interest which is pushing the
country ahead, and developing its
resources.
An inspection of the Record
books of C. C. Tanner, recorder
and U. S. Commissioner for the
Cape Nome Mining and Record
ing District, discloses that since
January 1st, 1936, three hundred
and sixty recordings of location
of mining claims have been made
up to September 1st. In itself
this shows a big increase in stak
ing of claims and the recording
of their ownership by Alaskans.
Previous periods have been lower
and showed less enthusiasm for
development
We have but to look to the re
ports of Territorial Treasurer Ol
son to see that territorial and na
tional banks in Alaska reflect the
increased development and p”os
perity attr.buted during the past
year. An increase of $2,000,000.
00 is to be seen in the bank de
posits during the period from
June 1, 1935 to June 1, 1936. Two
million dollars in deposits must
reflect the fact that more money
has been deposited by residents
of Alaska in the territorial banks,
and more money means better
living conditions and better op
portunities for work and develop
ment. Two million dollars is a
lot of money and there is a real
reason how and why that figure
is reflective of the progress at
tained.
I he territory as a whole has
been stepping ahead reapidly, &
the Second Division, with its 20
or more dredges in operation, be
sides any number of hydraulic &
drag-line operators, and still hun
dreds of individual mining oper
ations, proves that gold is the
great inducement in this section.
And again we come back to $35
an ounce gold. The raise in price
has been a God-send to this sec
tion. Low grade properties, for
merly not considered for opera
tion because of the too-little pro
fit which could be made, are now
being worked and are developing
gold which brings in returns on
the higher price of that metal.
All over Seward Peninsula the
story is the same—without the
raise in the price of gold at least
twothirds of the development now
going on, would never have tak
en place. Perhaps this one fac
tor alone is responsible for the
sweeping democratic victory in
the Second Division,and the huge
majorities piled up elsewhere in
Alaska where the mining indus
try is the paternal interest.
Another thought comes to mind
now that the territorial elections
are over—What indication is
drawn from the fact that Alaska
has once again gone democratic,

in regard to the national picture
to be completed November 3rd ?
James Farley, Democratic Na
tional Committee head, says, that
the old phrase “how goes Maine,
thereby goes the nation,” can be
changed to read—"How goes Al
aska, will go the nation.” In a
press telegram to the Nome Daily
Nugget today, he pointed out that
during the past thirty years Al
aska has gone republican when
the nation went republican, and
has gone Democratic when the
nation went Democratic, with the
exception of 1912, when a severe
split occurred in Alaska which
switched the election. If there is
any truth in this statement, then
Alaskans may look to Roosevelt
being elected in November.

Unemployed
A growing boy in an English
town had obtained a small job—
his first—and was boasting of the
amount of work he did.
“I get up at halfpast five and
has my breakfast,” he said.
“Anyone else get up too?" he
was asked.
“Oh, yes, mother. She gets me
breakfast and then she gets dad’s
at half-past six.”
“And your dinner?”
“Oh, mother gets that too, and
then she gets fathers.”
"Has she the afternoon to her
self?”
“Oh no. She cleans up, looks
after the children, and gets tea
for dad and me when we come
home. Then we gets our smoke
and then we gets to bed.”
"And your mother?”
“Well, she does a bit of sew
ing then, when all is cleaned up
