WHAT ABOUT THE PROSPECTOR
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
With all the blare of political trumpets of new
dealers, old dealers, square dealers, crooked dealers and
on down the line to money dealers and o^anut dealers—
little if anything is heard from tt>e seats of the mighty
to the back row benches of the tribunes of the oeople
as to the most important in this land of pre-eminent
mineral wealth—the PROSPECTOR.
While conventions are being called right and left,
budgets forcast for the future, naval parleys and inter
national confernces held daily and even wars being
waged and others brewing to do something for nearly
everybody with an axe to grind, the name of the pros
pector comes into the picture about as often as the sun
gets into eclipse.
As the heart of the Golden North, and with her
future more dependent upon the exploits and success
of the miner and the prospector than anyone else, Fair
banks is vitally interested in his welfare.
This community cannot afford to lose sight of the
fact the man with the pick, shovel and pan. the man
who came here with a meagre outfit and only his in
domitable grit is the man who put Fair-banks on the
map. And it is his kind, if any, who will keep this com
munity on the map and permanently to the front.
Interior Alaska is first and last a mining country.
All other resources considered and given their due
credit, mining is and will continue the fundamental
industry of this realm.
As placers pass more out of the picture, the indi
vidual cycle being succeeded by the era of big opera
tions, hard rock mining will follow on. But not all
placers have been uncovered, and the rock era is barely
begun.
The prospector needs encouragement. He needs
legislative and other encouragement. Right laws and
just dealings in ways not yet provided are needed. The
hard rock man deserves encouragement of the govern
ment in the way of a more adequate geological service,
more facilities for free assay offices and a lot of other
services. More and better roads and better freight
rates in - o the country, that lower grade mining proper
ties may be opened to advantage will help mightly.
Numerous ways to aid the prospector are within
the gift of the government and the law makers.
Right now, when there are so many ambitious to
do som thing to better the country, and bring about
the era of permanent industry, may they not forget that
in this vast area of the North the prospector remains
and will continue her No. 1 Citizen—her most import
ant man—and now, while all kinds of deals are under
way, hand him out the best deal of all—A Square Deal
—and a chance to win.
The above editorial is in keeping with the policy
of the Nome Daily Nugget, which vouches the same
