“The House That Quality Built”
THE GODS ARE KIND
-o
It was .getting late; Jack .hart
turned in for the night but Larry
was restless and kept prowling
around the cabin. Finally he slip
ped on his hat and coat with the re
mark l “Jack, I’m going to take a
ran down to the tunnel. It must
be free of smoke by this time and I
want to see how things look after
that last blast.”
A half hour later he was back at
the cabin gasping for breath from
his rapid climb. “Get out of bed,
you son of a Millionaire—We’ve got
it! ”
“Get what, Larry? That’s fine
way to come rushing in here and
wake a man out of a sound sleep—I
thought a bear was on your heels. I
Get your breath and then tell me
what* you are trying to talk about.”
lack struck a match and fumbled
for the lamp chimney.
“Breath nothing! Look at that
iuartz. We have three feet of that
stuff showing in the face now\ Oh,
Poy! We have a prospect no longer!
h'he’s a mine now or I am a dirt
farmer. What we want to do now
’s go into town tomorrow and wire
for an air compressor and drills so
we con open it up big.”
“Steady ! Steady, me boy ! Not
so fast. I don’t like to get excited.
Are you sure it isn’t pyrite instead
of gold in that quartz? Here, let
’ne have a look at it.” Jack sat on
the edge of his bunk and turned the
quartz over and over under his keen
g .ze. Then he began to pull on his
shoes. “Not so bad, Larry. Not so
tad. Let’s go down and tak8 anoth
er look, I want to determine just
how big a durned liar you are.”
For the next few hours lights bob
bod back and forth on the canyon
vail. The sound of voices and the
metallic clar.g of mortar and pestle
carried upwards in the cool night
air.
It was midnight when they re
turned to the cabin. “Well, Larry,
for once in your life you didn’t ex
aggerate. That showing certainly
looks good enough to write home
about. Don’t you think that gopher
hole of ours should be dignified with
a name? What shall we call it?”
“Let’s name it the Pauper’s
Dream,” suggested Larry. “Suits
me,” responded Jack, “though I
hope it doesn’t turn out to be a
nightmare. I was afraid you might
^ant to name it the Maid O’Erin or
the Shamrock, and no mine could !
tan out good under such a handle.” •
“Jack, there is one can of grape- 1
fruit still left in the cache. What
fie you say if we open it to cele- <
l.rate?”
“Grapefruit! Suffering amygdal
:ids! Grapefruit to christen a ban
mza! Larry, what are we poor suf- (
>ring prospectors coming to? Well, i
f that is the best you can do, go get i
-he grapefruit and if you can’t find t
that, bring in a can of tomatoes.”
* * * Note: Next time Jack and
i.arry will discuss the Influence of
the formation on ore deposition.
LAW AND ECONOMICS
——o
The law of economics is one of
supply and demand. The supply fol
lows the demand. Oversupply cuts
the demand. Undersupply raises the
p ice while oversupply cuts the price.
Ketchikan has ever whined be
cause their profit from halibut was
not equal to that of Rupert and be
cause the fishermen prefer to follow
the Rupert market. I
The propev thing for that town to
do is to get in and bid for the fish
to equal the price of Rupert and they
•vill get it. No other way, with be
nefit to the fishermen, can they get
that market to center in Ketchikan.
Unable to Handle the Fish
During the month of October,
Ketchikan handled less than 300,
000 pounds of halibut; Juneau
handled less than 250,000.
Prince Rupert can and has han
dled that amount of fish in any one
given day. She has the terminals
and the facilities to handle that fish,
''he is one day nearer the eastern
marKets.
Ketchikan will have to handle
100,000 a day to hold up to the Ru
pert Market. 20,000 pounds to the
carload means a delivery every day
ef 20 carloads of fish. Delivery to
oe every day regardless of wind or
weather.
Not one fisherman or business man
b lieves Ketchikan will be able to
deliver that much fish. The ferry
* nxerprise is beyond the means of
those interests which are trying to
bleed, by law, the resident fishermen
of Alaska. Rause mit’em.
GRIGSBY NEVER ANSWERED
-o
The program of the democrats of
bunkoing the electorate of Alaska is
now an open book to those who sup
ported that bunch of political plund
l’•blind. Delegate Sutherland chal
lenged Grigsby to state his position
cm the port of Rupert question. It
was said that “he was going to speak
>n that subject when here but for
got it." Again in Ketchikan he pro
ved to speak on that subject but
forgot it. His forgottery is very
•onvenient. i
The first load of herring for bait
irrived in port today. This time last
rear the cold storage had a large
>art of Its herring pack put up.
JIIURCH SHOULD
TEACH PARENTS
-o
So says a pastor of a Seattle I
hurch. We wonder how in the
vmrld a church is going to teach pa
ints when the only part of a church
he parents see is the outside?
