REX BEACH MENTIONS SUGGESTION MADE BY
S. W. TAGGART AND OTHERS IP$ 1932. REGARD
ING SCIENTIFIC PROSPECTING IN ALASKA
Tuesday’s telegraphic dispatches from Juneau contain
ed news that Rex Beach, noted Alaskan author was urging a
plan for scientific prospecting and development of mineral
areas in Alaska, by employing the youth of Alaska and the
United States, financed by the Federal Government.
A plan, considerably in detail was broached in 1932 bv
S. W. Taggart, manager of the Nome Lumber Co., then in
Seattle, and other interested parties there, to have the fed
eral government set up an agency whereby funds could be
alloted for the placing of numerous prospecting parties com
posed of young men, with an experienced prospector and
miner in charge, in the countless mineral areas of the Terri
torv.
Letters were written to leading economists and govern
ment officials at that time. Since then the National Youth
Administration has been set up, but its purpose is more di
rectly pointed at providing education and training for the
youth of America in other lines of industry.
Following are several letters written by officials in the
East regarding the plan put forward by Mr. Taggart. They
witness the utmost interest and with the concerted backing
of every agency in the Territory of Alaska, there is no rea
son why this program could not be placed in active opera
tion.
The letters appear in the next column on this page:

Albany, N. Y., Aug. 24, 1932
S. W. Taggart, Seattle, Wn.
Thank you for your good letter
of July 25th. I was much interested
in the editorial enclosed, entitled a
'Suggestion for Congress.” Professor
Raymond Moley, the well known
economist, is a member of a little
group of men who are good enough
to give me their advice from time
to time with regard to economic
problems. I am submitting your
letter and the editorial to Professor
Moley, for his opinion as to the prac
ticability of the plan.
Thanks for letting me see this.
Very Sincerely Yours,
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT

Dear Mr. Taggart.
I have your letter of June 29 1935,
regarding the possibilities of estab
lishing a department for the train
ing of youths in prospecting and
mining.
I am still very much interested in
your idea for this project, but I am
afraid that the scope of the National
Youth Administration program will
not permit us to undertake such a
project.
However, I am going to ask the
project director for the N. Y. A. to
look over your material, as soon as
he is appointed, and, if it is possible
to make arrangements for such a
project, he will doubtless correspond
with you about it.
Sincerely Yours,
AUBREY WILLIAMS,
Executive Director National
Youth Administration.

Office—West of Nome Liquor
Store
Front St., Nome.
the Alaska Weekly has been handed
to me by Governor Roosevelt, whom
I am advising on such considerations
of this campaign.
I have read your letter and the
editorial with great interest. I like
the idea of making an attack on the
money question by searching for
new gold. It seems to me the most
practicable means of meeting a
world-wide situation. The question 1
of the probability of finding gold by
the expenditure of so much money
is one involving technical informa
tion which I do not possess, but I
am going to make some inquiry
about it.
I want you to feel, however, that
your interest is genuinely appreciat
ed and that this letter is no mere
formality. The letter and the edi
torial are in with the material that
the Governor is considering in the
preparation of his statements with I
regard to gold and money, and they
will not be lost.
Very sincerely yours,
