day in the society section of the sec
tion of the Skagway Alaskan.—Doug
las News.

siasm and courage count for anything
the Anchorage Republicans should
win.—Seward Gateway.

*o matter how many men Herron

mitteeman, the real slate has Wick
ersham’s name scratched in it with
a nail.—Juneau Empire.
The population of the Federal Jail
is decreasing alarmingly. The wrork

put the camp in such shape that
work as they will it is becoming al
mast impossible for the Deputy Mar

eral jail properly filled or crowded.
If the thing keeps up and gets any
worse, it may result in the Depart
ment of Justice at Washington order
ing the jail closed, which would throw
a lot of people out of employment
and be a sad blow to the young life
of our camp and society in general.—
Fairbanks News-Miner.

BEST NEWS IN MANY MOONS
The word which comes from Wash
ington that Congress will probably
pass the bill placing the tax of $10
an ounce on gold used in manufac
turing and the arts and give the pro
ceeds of the tax as a bonus to pro
ducers of gold is the best piece of
news Juneau has received in many
moons. If it works out that way, it
will mean that the great low grade
properties of this section will shortly
become profitable mines, because
there is little reason to doubt that
the bonus will, for a few years at ■
least, permit of the payment to the
producers of gold not less than $10 an
ounce on their output. Last year, it '
is estimated, the production of gold
in the United States was something
over $58,000,000—approximately 40 per
cent less than the pre-war normal
period. During the same period more j
than $S0.000,000 worth of gold was j
used in the manufactures and arts.!
Of course, the bonus will cause an
increase in the production of gold, and
it vrill likely cause a decrease in the
quantity used in manufacturing and
for the arts. However, it is not at
all probable that the production will
increase so fast and decrease in the
commercial use will be so great that
♦be two items will meet for several
years. In the meantime, it is hoped,
the cost of producing gold will have
become considerably less than it is at
present.
Not only will this aid the mines al
ready in existence in this section, but
it will, without question, hasten the
development of other properties.
There are several mines in this sec
tion of Alaska which are all but ready
to become producers, and with the |
promise of $30 an ounce for their
product it is safe to conclude that de
velopment work will be speeded to the
limit, and that they will soon become
profitable gold mines instead of
sources of expense to the owners.
increased mining activity in this sec
tion will mean increased activity in
all lines of endeavor. There is no
industry in the world that is surer to
bring with it capital for investment
a,*d business of all sorts than profit
able mining. Mining compares with
agriculture in relative payrolls, con
sumption of the products of labor of
all classes and capitalization required.
