HYDER. ALASKA, Nov. 17. 1920
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
It looks as though next season
would be Alaska's year in mine de
velopment and exploration in this
district. Geologists have reported
in terms unintelligible to us com
mon folks that owing to glacial ac
tion, probabilities of finding ore ut
depth are better along the tower
reaches of the mountains than above
timber line. Prospectors have dis
covered and partially developed
numerous properties on the Alaska
side of the line, and some of them
are stilt plugging away at their ]
prospects, which are more accessi
ble than claims lying up toward the
head of the divide.
In a way, we hope the geologists
are wrong, in part. We want to see
such properties as the Forty Nine,
Silver Tip and Spider, which 'i
above timber line, turn ont to be
big mines, and we believe they will
do so. While recognising the val
ue of the geologist alo«g certain
lines, we haven’t much use for him
In a mining district. He is usually
a pronounced pessimist, looking for
the hole in the doughnut. But for
this very reason such encourage
ment as he offers becomes doubly
Valuable^
Seven-mile, Fish Creek, Eleven
mile and Texas creek will, we be
lieve, in tne no r .uture ust.fy the
faith placed in them bj umerous
claim owners ana usher in a wave
of prosperity such as even the phe
hominal showings on the B. C. side
of the line have not been able to
produce.
With deep regret we record the
death of A.M.Rosseau, editor of the
Whit i \ >ri3 St <.r and a brother-in
law ol E.J. C r - ier) White, direc
tor of the Bureau of Publi ‘ r
Alaska. Under toe editorship of
Mr. Rosseau the Star has always
been a bright, newsy paper and one
of the most highly prized pub'ica
tions reaching our exchange table.
Mr. Rosseau’s death was due to par
alysis.
Vrith the operating properties of
the iistrict settled down to an aj
gret sive winter working basis, resi
rb n s of this district are looking
