Entered in the Anchorage 1’ostoBiee June 6, 1915, as second clas3 matter
under the Act of of March 3, 1873.
For President—Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
For Delegate to Congress—James Wickersham
ROOSEVELT AND WICKERSHAM.
The Pioneer favors the nomination of Col. Theodore Roose
velt. for president at the hands of tin* republican and progres
sive national conventions, to convene in Chicago June 7. We
favor the colonel’s nomination because he is the one man in the
United States that can re unite the republican and progressive
parties and thus defeat the democratic nominee, whomsoever
he may be. Col. Roosevelt is acknowledged to be the foremost
advocate of preparedness in this country, and preparedness
will be the main issue in the coming presidential campain. His
most bitter foes will admit that he is the one outstanding, fig
ure in national polities, and the one man most feared as a can
didate by the incumbent.
With the forceful and able Ro sevelt in the presidential
chair, our foreign policy will be restored to its former power
and high standing among the nations of the world. The
. “watchful waiting,” the vacillating, weak’and impotent pol
icy that has been maintained since the advent of the Wilson
regime, will give way to a firm, decided and upright policy,
based on the solid foundation that American rights and Amer
ican life must be safeguarded.
The Pioneer favors the re-election of Hon. James Wicker
sham for delegate to congress from Alaska, because he is the
ablest man in the territory; has had extended experience at the
national capital, and is the devoted friend and advocate of the
government railway project, so vital to the development of
this country. AVe believe the delegate was entitled to the dele
gate nomination at the hands of the republican territorial con
vention at Seward. But, as it proved, the convention was not
a republican convention, in the true sense 'of the word. It was
merely, for the most part, an assemblage of office-seekers, dom
inated by a would-be political boss, who sought to tie the
hands of the delegate in the matter of political patronage, be
fore nominating him. The delegate, very properly, would not
enter into any such a deal and refused to permit his name to
be presented to the convention of job-seekers. But this fact
makes him none the less a republican. Indeed, it increases hiS
strength and popularity in the territory, because it proves that
he js not to be dominated by bosses who would rob him of the
right of even making recommendations in the matter of political
appointments, but would retain this privilege solely unto
themselves.
WILLOW CREEK GOLD CAMP.
The Willow (-reek gold camp, which will be tributary to the
government railway before the end of the season, is fast-de
veloping into one of the important gold producing -camps in,
Alaska. Given railway transportation, the chief factor in de
laying development will be removed and this camp will take
on new life. Prospects now lying dormant becausefof the'
high cost of transporting supplies arid equipment to the
ground will be removed, and it is fair to assume that a propor
tion of them will become producing mines. This conclusion is
logical, because the mines that have reached the producing
stage gave no better surface indications than some of the pros
pects that remain undeveloped.
Men prominent in the mining world are turning their atten
tion to the Willow creek gold camp, attracted there by the
production per ton as revealed by mining operations since the
first mill was installed—in the year 1908. Statistics giving
the total production of the Willow creek camp since 1908, con
sidered as accurate as such matters can be, show that 18,028
tons of ore have been milled, yielding in the aggregate $997,
805, or an average of nearly $50 per ton. Very few free gold
mining camps can show a parallel regard.
The three producing mines in the Willow creek district will
increase their respective capacities by the installation of ad
ditional machinery this year. Another property, which has
been developed to a point where a mill may safely be installed,
will be added to the list of producers.
Mining men who may be seeking free gold properties may
find a field for their endeavors in the Willow creek camp.
