MINES ARE MADE, NOT FOUND.
Mines are made, not found. It is true that practically ev
ery gold camp in the world had, as its initial discovery, an out
crop of such promise that the making of a mine was compara
tively ail easy matter. That’s how gold camps are found. The
original discovery is revealed by nature through outcropping
of the vein, ledge or deposit.
The point we wish to emphasize is that too many pros
pectors apparently go on the theory that an outcrop of mineral
is a mine, and when a possible investor happens along, the price
asked is for a developed mine rather than for a prospect that
another stick of giant powder may put on the “bum,” to use
the figure of speech. If such a policy is pursued by the pros
pector, the camp’s development will be slow indeed. It takes
the expenditure of much money to develop a gold quartz pros
pect into a mine. It takes the application of energy and down
right hard x^ork. It requires unbounded faith and persever
ence, in the face of disappointments that are sure to be met
with in the making of a mine. The prospector’s work in find
ing the prospect, hard and trying in itself, is not to be com
pared with the effort put forth by the mine operator in making
that prospect a miile.
Hence, it is, that possible investors in a mining camp will
not undertake to develop a prospect that the discoverer holds
on too harsh terms The investor must he assured that he will
have an opportunity of doing some development work before
•he will pay any considerable money. In other words, the pros
pector must take a chance with the mine operator. If the pros
pect turns out to be a mine, both will make money.
UNION APPRECIATES THE TIMES.
In another column of this issue of The Times will be found
a letter from the Alaska Labor Union, thanking those who par
ticipated in the Labor Day celebration and contributing much
toward making the occasion the huge success it proved to be.
The Times comes in for much praise in this connection. We
like the sentiments expressed by the big labor union because
it shows that the laboring men appreciate the .policy of this
newspaper in this, that the laboring man is given an absolute
ly square deal in the columns of The Times. The Alaska Labor
Union, so long as it maintains its past and present high stand
ard, in which reason rules, will find no firmer friend than The
Times. *
Since the raise in the wage scale on the government rail
way project, things have moved along in fine shape. There is
a better understanding as between the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, the employer of labor, and the men engaged in the
construction work. Little difficulties that have arisen since
the wage increase last spring have been quickly adjusted by
the commissioner in charge here.
We know we are expressing the sentiments of the people
in this community when we entertain the hope and belief that
this very desirable condition of affairs shall continue until the
big railway project is completed.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
One hundred and fifty-seven pupils attended the opening
of the public schools of Anchorage Monday forenoon last, and
it is figured, judging by the number of children of school age
as revealed by the recent census, that the number will grow to
one hundred and seventy-five before the month is ended. This
is a mighty fine record to attain in the second school year, and
one that is exceeded by but one other town in Alaska.
The large number of pupils attending the schools indicates
that Anchorage is fast achieving its laudable aim, namely, to
become a home town.
We assume it to be the ambitipn of the local school board
and the corps of teachers to make the public schools of An
chorage as up-to-date and as good as possible, in the circum
stances. Of course, it is not to be expected that we shall be
able to immediately bring about all that we desire with re
spect to our schools, but we are making fine progress, and ul
timately, by continued effort and perseverance, we shall at
tain the goaf that we seek—the best public schools in Alaska.
A TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.
The Anchorage Woman’s club, an organization composed j
of high minded, progressive women, did a laudable thing in
being the author of the prize garden contest for the benefit of
the pupils of the local public schools. Such commendable ef
forts tend to direct the mind of the youth toward useful and
productive employments. The prizes offered for the best gar
dens-flower and vegetable-was a stimulus to the best that is in
the little folks. We who are getting along in years—and this
applies particularly to the masculine gender—are prone to
neglect the children. It isn’t because we do not have the
most kindly feeling for the little folks; it is rather because'We
are so imbued with our own personal affairs, that we think we
_have no time to-devote-to such matters. Hence it is flTaOhe
little attentions that should be bestowed on the children are
left, for the most part, to the good women of the town.

Vol. 1. No. 49. ANCHORAGE. ALASKA 4th and I)
A FEW WORDS.
Well, I am once more in Anchorage—and this time to stay;
and I will say that it feels like home.
Feeling that I can do more justice to my business here by
devoting to it all of my personal attention, I have brought from
Juneau my drug stock and am going to put it into the Northern
Drug Co.’s store, which I purchased the other day. This will
give the people living in that neighborhood a first-class drug
store carrying a modern complete stock.
While visiting in Seattle and Portland I added new lines to
my stock and increased the others, giving the public a better
opportunity for selection.
Among the new lines I will carry Silverware, Libby’s Cut
Class, Universal Chafing Dishes, Percolators, Casseroles, Jap
anese Baskets and of course continue with the Victor Phono
graph and the Eastman and Ansco agencies.
The policy of my store will be what it has always been—
A Square Deal to Everybody.
Ill connection with the main store I will have a circulating
library for which I have selected the latest copyrights and
standard books.
Best Stock, Best Service, Best Prices make a good combi
nation and I will always be here to make good my promises.
