MINING OUTLOOK AT NOME
A general survey of the local in
dustrial situation reveals that ap
proximately the same amount of work
will be done this year as last, in spite
of the more restrictive conditions re
sulting from increased prices of sup
plies, transportation, etc. A number
of last year’s operations will not be
revived, but others will be inaugura
ted this year which will fully main
tain the former status quo.
Aside from a somewhat curtailed
season, due to the unusually heavy
snowfall last winter, the outlook
this summer is at least as good as it
was last year at the opening of nav
igation. So far as can be learned at
present the general volume of in
dustry will be' in no degree lessened
and may be considerably increased if
several new projects fulfill the ex
pectations of their backers.
The fishing industry is the only
field in which we can discover an
abnormal decrease of activity. As a
result of several causes, chief of which
is the flooding of the outside mar
kets with eastern and foreign packed
fish at lower prices, there is little,
prospective demand for herring and
other fish products from this section.
In this field every indication seems
to point to much smaller pack and
resultant decrease of industry.
The fur industry is also in a some
what doubtful state owing to the
breakup in the fur market resulting
from the unwarranted price inflations
of the past year or tvro. Indications
are not wanting, however, that the
general volume of trading will not
be greatly below that of last summer.*
Prices will be lower but a majority
of the traders expect to purchase as
extensively as last year.
Fishing and fur trading, however,
are minor industries as compared to
mining. Mineral extraction is and
will be for many years to come the
primary industry and the one on
which we depend for our industrial
prosperity. As long as there is to be
no appreciable reduction in the vol
ume of mining endeavors this sum
mer, wre need have no fear regarding
the communal prosperity.
Times will be fully as good as they
were during the war period and pos
sibly better. Those of us who hope
to acquire early riches are the only
once who need to look upon the sum
mer outlook as unfavourable. To
the person w'ho view's the present
situation with rational eyes, there is
no prospect that our fortunes will be
less favorable this year than last "
The decrease in the purchasing
value of our chief commodity, gold,
has been a severe blow' to the coun
try but we may console ourselves
with the thought that the worst has
been done in this direction. Things
are admitedly down to bedrock as a
result of this unfortunate develop
ment but there is not the slightest
reason to believe they will get any
worse. On the contrary there is every
expectation they will improve. The
government is busy with plans for
relieving and improving the situation
of the territory wTrich, if brought to
fulfillment will induce an early in
crease of industry and commerce, a
probable augmentation of population
and resultant benefits to all of us wrho
weather the lean years.
As long as our basic industry, min
eral extraction, holds out, and there
is still many thousand times as much
gold, silver, tin, copper and other min
erals in the hills as has been extrac
ted in the past, there need not be a
doubt regarding the future of the
camp and district.—Nome Nugget.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE
NOT ACCEPTABLE TO
PHILIPPINE SHIPPING
MANILA, July 29 (by Associated
Press).—Steps to bring about the re
peal of the section of the merchant
marine bill making American coast
wise navigation laws applicable to the
Philippines are to be taken by the
council of state of the Philippines,
Manuel L. Quezon, president of the
Philippine senate, has announced.
“We should make a campaign in the
United States and in the islands to
have the law repealed,” Quezon said.
“The campaign should be conducted
in the Philippines so people may know,
first, that the law will deprive our
legislature of the right to legislate
over inter-island shipping and, second,
that a monopoly of our overseas trade
by American shipping, which will fol
low the bill, will harm us. We must
campaign in the United States to
bring our protest to the American peo
ple so they can take the proper rem
edy.”

JAPANESE BANKERS
OPPOSE INCOME TAX
TOKIO. July 29 (by Associated
Press).—The associated banks of
Tokio have filed a formal protest
with the government against a pro
posal to reintroduce the income tax
bill, which was killed in the last diet.

SWEDEN’S INDUSTRIES
MAY BE SOCIALIZED
STOCKHOLM, July 29 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The new Socialist
government has appointed a commit
tee to investigate the possibilities of
socializing certain lines of industry
and whether, if possible, such a step
would prove advantageous for con
sumers and societ generally. Pre
mier Branting, Sweden’s first Social
ist premier, emphasized “the neces
sity that socialization in no manner
must result in decreased production.”
Premier Branting pointed out that
the committee will not deal with the
question of systematic socialization
of production, this being far from the
aim of the present cabinet.

make the rubber tougher—the boots will wear far longer
