SECRECY REBUKED
In the December number of Pa
cific Mining News the editor, George
J. Young, publishes the first in
stallment of his article describing
the Salmon River District of Brit
ish Columbia and contiguous Alas
ka. Unfortunately, the space lim
itations of the Miner preclude the
publication of this article in these
columns.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Young spent a week In this district
last July, visiting all of the lead
ing mining properties and Inter
viewing the operators. One feature
that surprised him has been com
mented upon in the past by the
Miner. This is the mantle of se
crecy that is used to veil as effec
tively as possible the operations of
the Premier. Of this Mr. Young
says:
'This eompany appears te be
fearful that any accurate informa
tion about the results of its pros
pecting work might leak out and
consequently it has adopted a pol
icy of secretiveness. It appears
also to have put the soft pedal
upon its own operations, princi
pally to keep the prices of neigh
boring claims from getting too high
before their importance can be de
termined. The local mining men
apparently refuse to think just as
the Premier management would
like to have them and are accept
ing as a fact the conclusion that
the big dividends indicate exten
sions and recurrences of ore bodies
in the area of which the Premier is
the center. Excepting the wire
rooe tramway, which was installed
by the Riblett Tramway Co., I found
little of technical interest either in
the practice or in the mine and
surface equipment. The plant is
like Topsy. It just grew, appar
ently a victim of circumstances.
I was allowed to go through the
| surface plant and was reluctantly
taken through the mine but I could
not escape the feeling that visitors j
were unwelcome. This was in con-.
trast with the cordiality of the
mining men of the district.”
We desire to congratulate Ed. C.
Russell and Earl W. Knight, pub
lishers of the Alaska Dispatch, on
their "Golden Spike" edition, issued
to commemorate completion of the
government trunk railraad between
Seward and Fairbanks. From
“kiver ta hive*" the ptaper ivehuck
a-bieck with authentic news con
cerning Afasftsfir Industries end
reaoweaet. ant'd betides being a eom
pendium of useful information ia a
raal work of art, being beautifully
and appropriately illustrated. Spe
cial articles by such high authori
ties on Alaskan affairs as Covernor
Scott C. Bone, Col. Frederick Mears
and Victor Claussen are featured.
The "Golden Spike” edition will de
much to revive interest in the
latent possibilities of this great
Territory.
