PROOF OF ALASKAN PROGRESS.
An enterprising man of Iditarod lias submitted a bid, in re
sponse to proposals asked for by the postoftiee department, to
carry the United States mail by aeroplane from Seward via
’Anchorage to the interior mining camp. It is highly probable
that the bid will be accepted and a demonstration made as to
the feasibility of transporting mails in Alaska, or at least to
the remoter parts of the territory, by the employment of the
flying machine. It is within the memory of middle-aged men
when aerial navigation was regarded as an attainment beyond
the reach of man. This was, at least, the general opinion. Some
few so-called cranks insisted that the airship was but a matter
of mechanics and applied science and the solution of the prob
lem was but a question of time. And the cranks proved right,
as they often do in the matter of inventions. Aerial naviga
tion has reached the point of a fixed science. The machines
employed respond to the will of man just as the ships at sea
are guided in their course by human hands.
And thus does the world move on and progress. Each pass
ing year seems to bring some new attainment, some discovery
of importance to the human family. Development is gained
only by a process of evolution. The present generation nat
urally knows more than did the preceding ones, because we
who live now have the advantage of the experience and the
attainment of the past. The coming generations, when they
read the pages of history of these times, will regard us as semi
barbarians, and not far removed from our respected forbears,
who used to hang by the prehensile tails and swing from limb
to limb in quest of their daily nourishment. That is, they did,
according to the Darwinian theory.
KEEP AN EYE ON WILLOW CREEK.
Mineral developments of many districts along the line of the
government railroad is awaiting the approach of rail headed to
a point near enough to bring in machinery and supplies. The
first section which will feel the quickening impulse is W illow
creek, and it will not be surprising if there is a stampede to
this mineral belt in the near future.
Men who have returned from Oatman. Ariz.. recently say
that there is far more on which to establish a permanent camp
of importance in "Willow creek than at Oatman.
Oatman has two producing properties which pay dividends,
while Willow creek ha- three. Oatman has scores "f wildcat
companies driving on dykes, searching for ore stringers, while
Willow creek has some twenty prospects on ore leads, all of
which show working values, several of which have already
shown ore in sufficient quantities to warrant the establishment
of a mill.—Alaska Post.
Governor Strong, who has just returned from a trip to Wash
ington, says that he found President Wilson greatly interested
in Alaska, and well informed concerning the territory; that the
entire appropriation for this year's work on the government
railroad, $8,247,000, is certain to be made; Secretary of In
terior Lane has lost none of his enthusiasm for the territory,
its railroads and other projects, while Secretary of Commerce
Redfield continues to be greatly interested in aids to naviga
tion in Alaska. All of this sounds encouraging, especially to
the people of Am : rage ami Cock Inlet, the section of aeti n.
