For Alaska
Next Year
(Continued from Cage 1)
of Minnesota and the Dakotas, and
with lass sigorous climatic condi
tiofis; that though the fabulously
rich placer deposits of Fairbanks,
Nome and other sensational t umps
have had the cream skimmed off.
tin-re still remains a steady output
gold, and that the copper, silver, tin
lead, iron and other metal-resources
ti.'filly in their virgin state; that j
the forests of Alaska need hut to he
utilized, to relieve the paper fam
ine which is rapidly becoming more
acute; that the fisheries of Alaska
:re the greatest in the world
One fact the writer has failed to
see mentioned in any of the num
erous “write-ups" on Alaska is that
me mine in the Territory produces
one-half af the platinum and two
tliirds of the palladium supply of
the world.
Put the greatest advertisement
of all for Alaska is the fact that all j
hose who have stayed with thej
Territory have made good, in spite
of the handicap imposed by gov
.. i ment restrictions; that anyone
who has ever lived in the Territory
longs to return and former resi-1
dents are doing so as fast as they ;
an straighten up their affairs else i
vhere.
Too much stress has been laid in
the past on scenery, big game and
the possibility of Alaska becoming
the playground of America, but the
essentials—bread and butte* - have
until recently remained unmen
tioned. Now folks are learning,
with pleasant surprise, that die t -
sentials are produced in abundance
n the Territory, and that there Is
plenty of room for expansion
If Alaska were isolated from the
rest of the world its inhabitants
would still he able to live on the
f:,t ,.r rhe land. 'Ihere is nothing
vital to the health and comba t of
humanity that cannot he produced
here,
MOVIES USE SILVER
Another new industry is adding
to the many uses to which silver is
put It is asserted that more than
three tons of the white metal is
now used weekly i 1 motion picture
studk>3. The silver e employed in
developing the pictures and ti . me
tal is almost entirely destroyed ns
pi further use is confined.
