In reading over the advance notice
of the Geological Survey, we were im
pressed with the optomistic strain that
ran thru the whole report. This fact
is signigicant, coming as it does from
men who are in touch with every min
ing disttict in the Tertitory;
Every district in Alaska was seriou
sly hurt by the post war slump, but
most of the mines and prospects have
produced when there was little or no
profit in the grou nd. It takes a good
gambler to stay in the game when the
chances of making a stake are agains t
him. We all admire the men who have
ground that they have managed to dev
elop in the face of the many obstacles
, that surround an ordinary prodpect es
pecially when the owner has to go to
others to get a working capital and then
manages to keep the control of the
property.
As yet the interior is not far enough
enough advanced to get along without
the support of the mines. Take them
and the country would go back years
before any othe r industry arose to take
their place.
With new roads and bridges com
ing as a reality and not as a dream, the
Territory is due to see gn era of prosp
erity that will give us a chance to ex.
pond and develop Alaska's resources.

Delegate to Congree Sutherland has
introduced a bill that, if passed, will
give Alaska about one million a year
from the, Federal Good roads fund
for the period of ten years.
With thisaitaount plus the moneys
appropriated yearly Aatskans would for
get what a bad trail was.
Our maxim; Don t trifle with
th’ essence of cornmeal when it’s
white- Make ’em color it brown.

Don't w'orry- It,s not stylish
because everybody practises it.
