HYDER, ALASKA, July 19. 1922
MINING TO THE FORE j
While the resources of Alaska;
are vast and varied, and each sep-,
arate industry has its adherents, |
probably a vast majority of the]
Pioneers still cling to their first |
love, mining. It possesses a fasci
nation suoh as no other industry.
If it pays, it pays enormously, or it
pays not at all, and the hope of big
reward holds its adherents firmly,
even after many lean years.
To those who follow tho game
the present rapid revival of the in
dustry is more than gratifying, and
brings renewed confident^ that the
future holds fulfillment of long
cherished hopes. Probably the
present summer has seen greater
addition to the number of mines
operating than for the past three
or four years combined, and this is
particularly true of lode mines,
In the past a greater portion of
the wealth of gold which has pour
ed out of the territory has come
from placers, and in many instan- j
ces promising lode claims were ne-j
glected in favor of the gravel de
posits. There will be placer min
ing in Alaska, on a large scale, by
means of dredge or hydraulic me
thods for many years to come, even
with the known deposits, and there
is always the chance that new bo
nanza deposits may be uncovered,
but more and more interest is cen
tering in the lode deposits, and
each year finds an increase in the
number of these properties being
operated, and the percentage of
failure in economically and scien
tifically managed properties is rel
atively small.
Today Alaska offers the prospec-;
tor opportunities in this line as good
as were offered in the early days.
Its returns are not so quickly avail
able, but they have the advantage
of being longer lived. Success be
gets success and every paying
mine brings about the development
of other mines, and it is but a log
ical conclusion that within a com
paratively few years Alaska will
take a front rank in the gold pro
ducing sections of the United States.

Footprints in the sands of time
are like an abandoned trail. The
reason that we have so mueh diffi
culty in seeing them is because
they are over-grown with weeds.

owes him a living will usually be

work fat off the muscles, but it ■
