GOOD TIME TO PROSPECT
Many of the best things in this
world have come from digging in.
Keeping eternally at it solves many
a problem.
Literally and figuratively speaking,
says the Dawson News, in an edi
torial which applies with equal force
to Alaska, the people of Yukon
should dig in. Many are doing so.
Others need to start.
The world has its hundreds of
millions of people, and all must have
an incessant stream of supplies of
raw and manufactured products. The
machinery of the world is not going
to stop nor break down. The in
evitable human demand makes it
imperative that there be a continu
ous production from farms, forests,
fisheries and mines.
Yukon has her share of raw prod
ucts to offer, especially from her
stores of mineral. The extensive
outcrop of the wide Yukon basin in
dicates that this country is as highly
mineralized as any zone on the Amer
ican continent.
The Yukon has gold, silver, copper
and other minerals. Not all coun
tries can boast the favorable indica
tions of this land in these rich re
sources. Many countries were long
developing. Many regions which
were occupied by civilized peoples
for centuries opened the best min
eral resources only recently. They
long slept on their richest assets.
They were slow in learning to dig in.
Prospecting is the need in Yukon.
To probe and prove are the re
quirements. The man who works in
this region all summer with the big
placer operators can have a good
grubstake for winter prospecting.
He then can turn his attention dur
ing the crisp, dry winters to run
ning tunnels or sinking shafts. Men
who have a way of getting grub
stakes for summer prospecting are
doubly fortunate. They can scout
the hills, and also dig in on their
properties. They have here as fa
vorable and as promising a country
as any for this sort of work.
The capitalist will be ready with
the money any time the prospector
can prove the proposition. Capita!
is cautious and conservative, but al
the same time keen. It wants op
portunities to place its money and
its equipment where it will yield
returns.
The capitalist camps close on the
trail of the prospector. In the wake
of both come industries and prosper
ity and work for the masses.
However, not all the digging in
and not all the prospecting musl
necessarily be borne by the poor
man. In this day quite a number
of wealthy men and prosperous com
panies have set aside a good share
of their annual profits for the pur
pose of prospecting. They have
learned that they should come in al
the right time with their drills anc
more expensive equipment and hell
open and prove thoroughly what evi
dently is mineral property wortl
while. It is their best chance.
The big man and the little mar
both must dig in. The prospecting
should not be confined to the one
The sooner this is realized and the
sooner all classes get behind the mar
behind the pick, the sooner will the
vast resources of the Yukon be
probed to the core and opened up tc
the maximum.
Now is the time. Deal the cards
Let every man take a hand. Plaj
the game.
Prospect.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
The majority of Alaskans, especi
ally in this section, cannot see why
the labor unions are in favor of gov
ernment ownership of railroads.
There is nothing aggressive in the
ownership such as is seen in private
ownership.—Seward Gateway.
We should set our delegate to con
gress at work in an effort to get the
early opening of the oil lands of Al
aska. Let the Chamber of Com
merce takes the initiative in this mat
ter.—Anchorage Times.
The delegate contest now being
staged between George B. Grigsby
and Judge Wickersham gives promise
of being hard fought, and the latter
may find that he has found a man
who can be depended upon to take
as many tricks in the game now in
congress as he himself can.—Fair
banks Citizen.
A passenger on the steamship Ala
meda took the editor of the Miner
to task for publishing the statement
that trains were again “running on
the government railway between
Seward and Anchorage.” He stated
that no one but a d- fool would
accuse anything of “running” when
it took a week to go a hundred and
ten miles.—Valdez Miner.
Some objection is raised among
persons engaged or interested in the
fishing business that fish hatcheries
are not a success, that they would do
the industry little or no good. The
argument is used that there have
been several hatcheries in Alaska for
a number of years, and none of them
has been successful. Too many na
tural enemies of the salmon swarm
the waters nearby, waiting to devour
the young as they are turned loose
from the hatcheries, they say.
Investigations of these hatcheries
in question, however, will prove that
they have been successful, that they
have accomplished the principal pur
pose for which they were intended.—
