A recent letter written to the editor
of the Cordova Times, by Attorney
Foster suggests a way to induce more
intensive prospecting.
Mr. Foster suggests that the territory
set aside a fund to aid the prospector
in opening up his ground after lie has,
in the opinion of an inspector, sutiici
cient surface indications to warrant ex
ploitation. The mine thus opened
would reimburse the terriory.
The plan is similar to the workings
of the f’arra Loan idea and would in
every way be of immense value to the
territory. The prospector would rece
ive sorely needed financial assistance,at
well as the services of a highly trained
mining engineer. Even the latter ser
vice would be of great value, as it would
prevent men spending years on some
worthless prospect.
Special aid couM be arranged for in
the case of the immense low grade pros
pects that now he untouched.
Mr. Fosters idea, while not original
is written as a concrete suggestion, not
to be lightly cast aside. It should rece
ive the most careful consideration of
our law makers and the most hearty
support of the newspapers.
Every thinking man and woman in
the territory realizes that, if some legis
lation is not passed to aid the prospect'
or, in the near future he will be like
the big gold rushes a thing of the pas
When Mr. Foster’s idea comes up be
fore legislature it will perhaps meet
with oppsition from certain reactionar
ies, as did the Literacy Bill, but pop
ular Opinion will rule or there will be
another set of legislators at the capitol.
Thanksgiving comes next Thursday,
The day makes us pause in our hectic
chase after the almighty dollar to give
thanks that, as a nation, and as indivi*
duals, we are enjoying health, happiness,
peace and prosperity.
