HYDER, ALASKA, Aug. 9. 1922
AN APPRECIATION j
In renewing the annual subscrip
tion to the Hydtr Alaska Miner
for the U. S. Bureau of Mines at
Fairbanks, the letter from that in
stitution contains the following
paragraph:
"Your paper has a place of
its own in the reading room of
this station and is enjoyed by
many of the mining men and
others who call here. It may
interest you to know that,
after the papers are read, all
articles pertaining to the re
sources of Alaska and the in
dustries connected therewith
are clipped and neatly filed,
with the name of the news
paper and the date, under
their proper subjects, items
relating to the same locality
being filed together."
THE ADVENTURE IN MINING
At a recent meeting, in London, of
the Selukwe Gold Mining Co. it wasj
announced by the chairman that i
an offer had been made by "Amer
ican friends” to purchase the Sel
ukwe company’s interest in a Can
adian mining enterprise, “but, being
adventurers, while appreciating
this proposal, we declined to sell,
as we oannot thrive merely by
getting our money back.” That
was a miner-like answer, and in
accord with the speculative spirit
that is essential to successful min
ing. “Adventurers” .s a good word;
it used to be applied to the share
holders in the Cornish tin mines
and it was used earlier by the Hud
son’s Bay Co. Even to this day
the annual meeting is called in thej
name of “the adventurers trading
in the Hudson's Bay territory.” Min
ing enterprise is essentially a spec
ulative venture, or an adventure,
and it is more successful when ap
proached courageously and sanely
with eyes wide open than when it
is undertaken as an investment or
a “manufacturing proposition,” the
last a phrase common in wild-cat
prospectuses.—Engineering and
Mining Journal-Press.
The Selukwe company own a two
thirds interest in the B. C. Silver
group, now being developed under
the direction of C. A. Banks. The
other third was purchased last fall
by the Premier Gold Mining Com
pany, adjoining.
Orator—Do you get me boys, do
you get me?
Voice from Rear—No! But wait
until yotlse leave de platform.
It if reputed tjiat wbtfi M
gypg, Qovppnpf General ofCpnana,
arrived ip yapeojiyejr, the crojvd
on the depot platform began tp
sing ’’Hail, Ha}}, the Gang's All
Here." The Hero of Vimy Ridge
raised his hand, and when he had
secured silepce said: “Hold on
boys, remember that the gang is
pot all here." A thoughtful tribute
to their fallen comrads.
