o
Ketchikan Displaying Much
Interest In Mining
Not since the early days when
mining was the principal in
dustry around Ketchikan has
so much interest been shown in
mining as has been indicated
by the crowds attracted to the
display of mineral specimens
in the window of the Heckman
Carrington store, says the
Ketchikan Chronicle.
Indicating that the wide
range of heavy mineralization
of the district, the Chronicle
continues:
For instance, specimens
shown here by Val Klem alone
include antimony from nis
Cleveland peninsula property,
gypsum from Chichagof Is
land, a square cube of iron
from Helm Bay, malachite, a
copper carbonate, from the
west coast of Prince of Wales,
a piece of native copper from
White river in the interior, bar
ite, asbestos, epitite, copper
and epitite, molybdenum and
spar and garnets from Prince
of Wales Island, hematite iron
from Dali island, three samp
les of garnets from Revilla is
land Wrangell island and
Prince of Wales island. Most
of these Mr. Klem picked up
while working in other mines.
Charley Harrison of Pennock
island has exhibits of telluride,
sapphire rock, floral spar, cal
conium and magnesia. Wen
dell Daw’son has a sample of
molibdenum. W. A. Wheeler’s
exhibit consists of gold rock
mining $9 to $14 to the ton.
There is a sample from the
Standard Gold mine at Helm
Bay with values of $25 to $30
a ton. Bert Libe shows a piece
of rich gold quartz and most j
interesting of all some coarse ]
gold in a gold pan with the not
ice on a card that it is from
Thorne Arm. A. L. Spaeth
has a rich sample of gold ore
which comes from Colorado.
All the others, however, are
samples from near Ketchikan.

Do You Buy From
Home Town
Merchants?
HELP STIMULATE PROGRESS
’ In legal parlance there is a term, “caveat emptor,” which means “let
the buyer beware." And that does not single out any class of buyers.
There are people in Hyder who buy everything at home and fron
home-town merchants. . And then again there are people is this commun
ity who buy very little at home, thoughtlessly spending their money out o
town where it is lost to the community. -Those who buy at home benefit
their community by keeping the money at home and reap the rewards o
buying from business enterprises that, depend for their very existence upor
their reputation for fair dealing.
The home-town merchant gives his patrons and his community th<
fruits of his industry and his community’s patronage.
There never has been a time In the history of this comunity wher
patronage of the local merchants and other business institutions wa:
as vitally necessary to community welfare and prosperity than at present
With business at the lowest ebb in our history, the local dealer stands ir.
imperative need of all the patronage the camp can provide in order to re
main irt business.
The same principle which urges people to patronize the local merch
ant who has his money invested where it serves them most should also urge
the merchant to advertise in the community newspaper. This paper is
the camp’s best advertisement and its principal means of letting the world
know why and for what Hyder is in existence. Day in and day out it is
working for the community’s progress and prosperity. It is a fixture with
a heavy investment and like the merchant is dependent for its existence
as a booster upon the patronage of the community.
Merchants advertise in newspapers primarily to increase their busi
ness. Consumers read newspaper advertisements that they may buy with
the least expense of time and effort and to the best advantage with re
spect to price and quality. Both advertiser and buyer often forget that
this advertising makes possible the newspaper that brings them the news
of the day and provides one of the chief stimulants to community growth
and betterment.

I
ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Will. A. Steel
Washington, D. C,
August 3, 1932.
A new contract was let in July
for the construction of a new
government hospital at Unalas
ka by the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs.
Nearly 350,000 acres of the
public domain in Alaska re
main unsurveyed; and here lies
potential mineral wealth of
considerable value, according
to studies made by the Geolog
ical Survey.
Bartley Howard, president of
one of the early coal mining
companies in the Matanuska
region, was in Washington a
few days ago in connection
vfcith perfecting his title to cert
ain properties along the Alaska
Railroad. These he has ar
ranged to sell to a syndicate of
capitalists at Fellows, Californ
ia. They contemplate opening
up the properties on a large
scale. They are located on
Moose Creek. The intention i«
to create a market and ship
coal to California ports.
In answer to an inquiry as to
how many people live on the
Aleutian Islands, a Washing
ton newspaper gives the follow
ing information: “The pop
ulation is about 3,000. This
group is a chain of about 80 is
lands belonging to Alaska Ter
ritory separating the Sea of
Kamchatka from the northern
part of the Pacific Ocean, and
extending nearly 1,600 miles
from east to west. The total
area is 6,391 square miles.
The Delegate’s office has re
ceived a letter from Alaska in
quiring why politics are inject
ed by some of the partisans of
the Territory in discussing the
appropriations made by Cong
ress. An instance is given in
citing that Hawaii received
Federal Highway aid while
Alaska failed to receive a slice
of this fund. But it was not ex
plained that several years ago
Hawaii was included in the
Federal aid legislation, while
Alaska continued to receive
her appropriations in the old
way. Major Elliott, the Agri
cultural Department and vari
ous committee members of the
Senate and House friendly to j
Alaska, went into the subject
and all decided that Alaska
would receive larger appropri
ations under the present sys
tem, rather than to secure Fed
eral Highway aid.
When Mr. McDuffie, Chair
man of the Economy Committ- {
ee of the House, declares that
Alaska, with her small popu
lation, is not entitled to any
road appropriations, it may be
understood how difficult it is
to induce the Democratic ma
jority in the House to agree to
extend reasonable road appro
priations for Alaska. When
Chairman McDuffie moved to
eliminate the entire appropri
ation for 1933 the motion was
defeated by only six votes.
The Board of Road Commiss
ioners of Alaska, now operat
ing under the Department of
the Interior, will have $494,310
to expend during the current
fiscal year. For betterments,;
operation and maintenance, the
Washington - Alaska Military j
cable and Telegraph system, j
operated by the Secretary of
War, will have $161,285. For
every expenditure requisite for
and incident to the Alaska
Railroad $450,000 has been ap
propriated, in addition to all
amounts received by the rail
road during the fiscal year 19
33, but $200,000 of such fund
shall be available only for such
capital expenditures as are
chargeable to capital account.

Governor of Alaska, died re
cently at his home on Wood Is
land at the age of 86 years.
Fred Wilkins, pioneer merch
ant of Richardson, lost his life
in Paxon’s Lake a few days
ago. The body was recovered a
few hours later near the spot

The salmon run on the Yukon

the Indians as well as the
whites are happy. A shjort dis
tance above Ruby the fish

fish wheels had to be stopped.
Fines were meted out to three
persons who pleaded guilty to
violating the dry law. “Bert,

man named Torrance was
fined $250, and one Morrison
drew a fine of $100.
Norman Rothacker pleaded
guilty to a charge of petty lar

nearly insane from mosquito

cult in Alaska.
Burras Smith, a Ketchikan
man, has invented a machine
to save free-milling gold val

oresamples is being made in
the Heckman-Carrington store,
and a gold brick worth $800 is
shown in the window of the
