Harry said. “I have never tried
gold mining, but am going to give
it a whirl.”
The off shore operations have
the blessing of the State govern

picture with Shell Oil Company
and other monied interests leasing
the submerged land and dredging
this summer. To date 37 permits
for prospecting rights on submerg
ed lands have been granted or are
under consideration.
An estimated $80 to $100 million
was taken from three Nome bea

reached its height more than 60
years ago. This time they’re talk

The present law provides that
an exclusive right, and eventually
a mining right, may be obtained
by an individual to eight square
miles of submerged land.
The mineral prospecting permit
is a new concept in mineral ex
ploration law and offshore mining
leases.
This modern version stampede
will be costly dwarfing the lonely
prospectors singling efforts with
sluice boxes and pans. It will be
interesting to see if uptodate tech
nological methods can wrest from
the sea the possible billions of dol

that Nome may again rise as an
important town. Certainly it will
receive a shot in the arm.

WE SALUTE OUR ARMED FORCES
Our Armed Forces are a very necessary and important part of
our National life.
We are proud of our Armed Forces and especially the United
States Navy.
The Kodiak Naval Station has invited the community to an
open house this week end.
Let’s give them our moral support by attending their open
house tomorrow.
