HYDER, ALASKA, July 12. 1928
EXPOSING FALSE PROPHETS !
In his address before the Canad-.
ian Mining institute at Nelson, B.C. I
Hon. William Sloan. Minister of |
Mines, referred to the Premier as j
the "Wonder Mine." And well hej
might, for in the short space of six!
month* this latest star in th? min
ing firmament has enabled the dis
tribution of $1,650,000 to share
holders in the Premier Gold Min
ing Company, after paying nearly
as much for equipment.
Small wonder that the company
are acquiring all the surrounding
property that they can secure;
small wonder that claim owners in j
the vicinity are vigorously working <
wherever mineral outcrops oecur
and small wonder that other com
panies and individuals are scour
ing the district in quest of promis
ing prospects.
Back in the musty vaults of var
ious mining concerns in New York
are numerous reports on the Port
land Canal mining district pre-j
pared by "qualified” mining engi-!
neers, and condemning the ores of
this district as being too low grade
and refractory to possibly be work
ed at a profit. Time and again
have promoters who have kept
pace with events here have been
turned down on the strength of
these reports, without even being
given a hearing.
We wonder whether there will
not now be some surreptitious de
struction of these reports and
curses, silent perhaps, on the heads
of their authors.
Philip R. Smith is a member of
the U. S. Geological Survey work
ing in the country contiguous to’
the Alaska Railway, who expresses
great hopes fo» the future devel
opment of that section. He is one
who believes in the great work
that has been and must continue
to be done by the prospector. In
the opinion of Mr. Smith the Terri
tory needs some method by which
its resources could be brought for
ward and properly advertised, with
ample geological work to assist the
miner. He is optimistic as to the
possibilities of the miumg industry
and heartily in accord with all
means tending to bring it forward.
It was the industry that first at
tracted the thousands to Alaska
and we suggest that it will continue
to be the means of creating wealth
in the Territory and building pros
perous towns and mining camps.
But much depends on the proper
encouragement given the prospec
tor.—Juneau Capital.
The herring of •tee}' golf clubs
from the courses will not material
ly bother Alaskans who are not
oartkultir whether they are steel
or aluminum. So long as our devil
clubs are not disturbed we will not
worry abeut clubs of any kind.—
Stroller’s Weekly.
Attendants at government ex
perimental farm at Sitka asked
permission of the commissioner to
shoot the deer that were eating the
strawberry plants. He told them
to build a high fence around the
farm. We can give them a better
tip, and that is to grow their straw
berry plants in the fall when the
deer shooting season is open.
