May Reopen Salt Chuck Mine

kan is indicated in an >.n
r.ouncement by the Ketchikan

A. W. Brindle and other; left
Ketchikan last week to exam
ine the property.

WILL CLEAR UNUK
RIVER FOR TRAFFIC
Opening of the Unuk River
for traffic by removal of log
jams and similar navigation
obstructions il; proposed by the
U. S. Forest Service during the
coming summer, according to
the Ketchikan Chronicle.
A crew of 12 experienced
river men under the leadership
of George King left Ketchikan
last week to initiate the pro
gram, which has as 'its under
lying objective the opening of
the Unuk section to mineral
development.
The district, comprising an
area 30 miles in length, lies
immediately west of the Hyder
district and is known to contain
impoitant mineral possibilities,
particularly in the area adja
cent to the headwaters of the
Unuk river, which can be
reached from Hyder by way of
Texas Creek Valley and Chika
min Glacier, and has been vis
ited by many local prospectors.
A number of Hyder residents
including William Gray, head
of the Hyder Lumber Com
pany, George Andrews and
Llouis F. Legge, are the owners
of mineral locations with valu
able gold possibilities in this
area.
The opening of travel through
! the Unuk river will also pro
vide an avenue of access .o a
highly mineralized area of
British Columbia surrounding
the headwaters of the river im
mediately north of the Alaska
Canadian boundary line.
A number of Premier resi
dents are interested in this lo
cality and have acquired exten
sive mineral holdings there
during the past two years; em
ploying airplanes to reach the
district.
That the Canadian govern
ment is also interested in the
river as a means of reaching
this area is indicated by recent
inquiries reaching the Forest
Service regarding what plans
were in store for the stream,
the Chronicle states.
The river is navigable to the
Canadian border, some 30
miles, at nearly all times of the
year by means of shallow draft
boats of the river skiff type.
It ig estimated that about two
months will be required to com
plete the work which will cover
a distance of about 12 miles up
! stream from a point near the
1 mouth.
Silver Production Increasing
Silver production in the Unit
ed States during January
amounted to 2,025,000 ounces,
according to the American bur
eau of metal statistics. This
compares with 1,562,000 ounc
es in December, 1,863,000
ounces in November, and 1,
960,000 ounces in January
i 1933. World output in Jan
uary was estimated by the bur
j eau at 14,444,000 ounces,
against 12,949,000 ounces in
the month previous.
BRISBANE GIVES
TERRITORY BOOST
Probably the most far-reach
ing publicity Alaska has ever
received was given recently by
Arthur Brisbane, world fam
ous editor, in the following
article in the San Francisco
Examiner:
“See Alaska, a magnificient
empire far away in the north
west. See what Seward
bought for the United States
for $7,200,000. A purchase
that was called ‘Seward’s fol
ly.’ They took small change
like that $7,200,000 seriously
n those days. Buit it was pro
fitable ‘folly.’ Alaska has
yielded $419,791,000 in gold
more than 50 times Alaska’s
cc'_t alone. The self support
ing reindeer all will more than
pay for Alaska.
“Many recent arrivals are in
Alaska, exploring, searching,
prospecting, ‘washing’ gold,
and many more are on their
way as Juneau celebrates the
sixty-seventh anniversary of
Alaska’s purchase with a new
gold rush.
“You can find many things
hotter than gold in Alaska,
I
iich land, tor one thing, beau
iful, romantic home sites, and
water power that will be valu
| able f orever, unlike the gold
\ mine that runs out.
“Thc-'e that have youth, en
j ergy, time to spare, and enough
money to take them there and
back might well make that
Alaska trip, even though they
should find nothing to add to
the contents of their pocket
book. A trip across this broad
continent and up and down in
it will improve any American.’’
