Governor’s Mining Company—But It
Will Be A “Mistake”—Not Intention
From Juneau Transcript
If Governor Brady succeeds in get
ting some of the big mining \ roposi
tfons of Southeastern Alaska opened
up, he will do a great thing for her
people. It matters not to him how the
knockers hammer at him, for with him
every knock seems to be a boost. He
may be mistaken in his judgment con
cerning the property he is promoting,
but one thing is sure—every servant
^pfho invests a dollar—can stake her life
I upon it that it is a mistake of his head
and not of the heart. Governor Brady
i will invest his last dollar in any propo
sition he advises others to invest in.
Governor Brady is certainly taking
drastic means to advertise Alaska’s
mining opportunities, but his method
has a well-known precedent; Ogilvie, of
the Yukon territory issued a prospect
us very similar to the one recently put
oUt recently by Mr. Brady’s friends,
and thousands of people went to Daw
son on the strength of what this man
^id. Scores of thousands of them
never received any reward for the
hardships endured, yet more money
has been taken out of the Klondike
country than Ogilvie ever dreamed of.
We hope that all the bright and bril
liaut future of Alaska that Governor
Brady has so vividly pictured out in his
i vospectus will come to pass. If those
who criticise the governor for his gra
phic pen pictures desire it, we can
show them even more radiant and racy
rhetoric in the reports of other govern
ment officials. Simply because the
^governor has made a lightning change
%om a ‘ ‘corn stalk agitator’ ’ to a min
ing promoter, is no evidence that he is
not the same “grand old man.”
