MR. D. M. STEWART
EXPRESSES GREAT
FAITH IN ALASKA
1 What Anchorage and this part of
Alaska needs is a few more gentle
men of the ilk of Duncan M. Stewart;
business men of established reputa
tion whose judgment and faith in
j Alaska’s resources is based on per
: sonal observation and actual experi
j ence and what is more to the point are
willing and able to back their judg
j ment in a substantial ami material
manner.
Mr. Stewart arrived in Anchorage
yesterday morning from his holdings
near Sunrise and spent the day in the ,
j city on business connected with the
I extensive hydraulic development he
j has under way in that section. In
Mr. Stewart’s case the old saw of
“back to nature” is truly exemplified
and while his suave urbanity will ever
i be proof of “a gentleman born,” his :
| duxback apparel, that he assumes on
such trips, doesn’t necessarily breathe
rtof Wall street or of stocks and bonds, i
Mr. Stewart has the happy faculty
of stepping from the seats of high fi
' nance on 35 Wall street, where he is I
in business under the name of Duncan
M. Stewart & Co., Bankers, and read
ily adapting himself to circumstan-‘
| ces common to an Alaska mining j
[ camp.
As is well known in this city Mr.;
Stewart is the largest pacer mine op-j
erator in the Iienai peninsula and he1
has spent a large amount of money in I
development work that promises to
bring adequate returns. On Lynch
creek he has a 4,400 foot ditch, but his
most extensive work this season has
been done on Canyon creek under the
direct supervision of N. O. Anderson.
; He owns three miles of placer ground
on Canyon and is putting in a two
mile ditch this season that is four feet
wide at the bottom. A complete and
modern hydraulic system has been in
stalled on this property which will be
operated next summer by a 385-foot
head pressure, using No. 7 giants.
In addition to his holdings on Lynch
and Canyon creeks Mr. Stewart has
other extensive interests in this vicin
ity that are in the development stage;
his camps are elaborate and built
with the idea of comfort and perma
nency. Mr. Stewart spent yesterday
. in Anchorage and purchased a bill of
| lumber from the North Side Lumber
-| company and supplies from Brown
j and Hawkins.
5 It is a pleasure to meet a man of
i Mr. Stewart’s high standing and espe
| daily when he is so ardently enthusi
| astic over the future of this part of
Alaska. He has been indirectly inter
1 ested in this part of Alaska since
. 1902 and it was through Mr. Stewart
that Mr. Frost was able to make the
| exploration in the Chicaloon coal
3 fields several years ago. In addition
2 to this Mr. Stewart has been vitally
interested in other enterprises devel
oping Alaska’s many resources and
has possibly been the means of a larg
2 er outlay of capital invested in this
: country than any other one man. Nor
‘ has he lost faith but still thinks this
part of Alaska, especially, has a great
2 future.
“Alaska is truly the last frontier
q under the American flag, said Mr.
, Stewart in an interesting interview
| with a representative of The Daily
limes yesterday, “and I can recom
mend unqualifiedly this country for
investment, both large and small.
“I have been coming to Alaska ev
ery summer for the past several years
and always bring some additional cap
, ital with me; the people of the east
are interested in your country and it
is only a question of time until the
big reserves in our eastern banks will
find this a virgin field for safe invest
ment. Naturally-, I feel friendly to
f. ward this country, for I came to Sew
s ard several years ago in the state of
a physical, nervous wreck, but my
present personal appearance probably
belies this statement. I like the
country, the climate, the people, and
the great outdoors, and shall continue
| to spend part of each year in this
2 section, I hope, for many years to
3 come.”
In speaking of the government rail
i road, Mr. Stewart made the remark
i that he would like to go on record as
being a great admirer of the person
al nel of the Alaskan Engineering Com
3 mission and feels that they have been
I criticised many times unjustly. “I
am too largely interested in Alaska
j to make this statement without in
: vestigation and firmly believe that the
| fault is not with the men occupying
i positions of authority in the Comrnis
- sion, but with the powers in Washing
I'ton.
Mr. Stewart says the political situ
=’ ation is keen in the states and that
3 the betting in Chicago is two to one
in favor of Hughes. It is given up he
f said that without the great state of
New York Wilson had no chance to
| win and he further said that Wilscrf

! had no show in the world to carry
New York. Coming from a man of
|Mr. Stewart’s unqualified standing
| this sounds gootl to a republican
i newspaper. Mr. Stewart’s observa
tions have been made from all classes
I of people and he thinks there is no
question of Mr. Hughes’ election.
“I am also a great believer in the
: Willow creek district,” said Mr. Stew
; art. “and will later in the summer '
i make a trip to this section with the
view of acquainting myself with ac
. tuul conditions in order to advise my
! friends in the east. Willow creek is
;the largest quartz camp contiguous to
a railroad and there is no question in
my mind that it will make a great
I camp. 1 do not countenance wild-cat
promotion schemes, nor is it necessary
in tlrs case, but 1 shall do what 1 can ,
to help develop the Willow creek dis
trict and will probably interest capital
to this end.”
' Mr. Stewart left last evening for
'Sunrise and will personally superin
tend the development work on his
| properties. Mr. Stewart promised to
make Anchorage another visit this
I summer and was delighted with the
prosperous condition of our city.
