PREPARELAW
TO AID MINE
DEVELOPMENT
Assurances of the activity of the
American Mining Congress in a strong
campaign to secure ameliorative legis
lation for the upbuilding and relief
of the gold mining industry, in which
Alaska plays no small part, were re
ceived in a communication to the
Fairbanks Commercial Club from H.
N. Lawrie, chief of the division of
rare and precious metals of the above
organization. Mr. Lawrie^ in his let
ter to the commercial club, states that
considerable assistance in the wray of
furnishing information and data on
costs of operation will be needed in
the campaign, and Alaska will be
called on to do what it can in this
matter at a later date. The letter- of
Mr. Lawrie follows in full:
“Your wire to John T. Burns was
turned over to me while the National
Gold Conference was- in session. It
was read and you may be assured how
well it was appreciated by those pres
ent.
“The American Mining Congress
adopted the resolution which was pro
posed by the National Gold Confer
ence to suggest to congress legisla
tion which would impose an excise of
50 cents per pennyweight upon all
gold used for other than coinage or
monetary purposes, to create a fund
from which would be phid $10 per
ounce for all gold newly produced.
Shortly you will receive a publication
which will contain this resolution, but
I knew you would be interested in
knowing that the legislative campaign
is progressing and that we are now
designing the bill to accomplish this
result. It will require the combined
support, morally and financially, of
the entire gold-mining industry in or
der to carry on this campaign suc
cessfully. I feel sure, that we will
have your undivided support at the
proper time.
“A strong financial committee of
producers was appointed to collect
the necessary funds, and has already
begun its work. Later on, wdien the
matter is up for the consideration of
congress, I shall need every bit of
testimony that I can get from Alaska
with reference to the economic pres
sure to which the gold-mining indus
try has been subjected, and then I
shall feel free to call upon you to
supply same. In asking for a bonus
of $10 it will be necessary to show
that this will not be over-stimulative
to the industry, an*l I am firmly con
vinced in my.ownymind that the re
sult of such a bonus will be to produce
barely sufficient gold to satisfy the
arts and trades for manufacturing pur
poses.
“On behalf of the National Gold
Conference and the American Mining
Congress I wish to express apprecia
tion for your wire and the timeliness
of its presentation.”
LATE ALASKA NEWS
..
Mrs. L. T. Erwin has accepted a
position in the business office of the
Fairbanks Citizen, according to an
announcement appearing in the Fair
banks paper.
The Fairbanks Natatorium, on
Front street, several doors north of
the Gilsey house, was wrecked by
fire recently, little remaining of the
structure except the sheet iron cov
erings which inclosed the entire build
ing, and which undoubtedly prevented
the flames from spreading to near-by
buildings.
Some idea of the importance and
dangerous character of the work now
in progress and contemplated beyond
the end of steel, south of Nenana,
may be gathered from the fact that
the Alaskan engineering commission
is about to commence the construc
tion of an emergency hospital at the
Kestly camp, in Nenana canyon.
According to advices received from
the lower Yukon, Commissioner Tom
DeVane of Ruby is now en route up
the river from St. Michael with a
small herd of reindeer, which he is
driving to Ruby to relieve the meat
shortage in that district. Rubyites
have been without fresh meat since
the freeze-up, and are eagerly await
ing the arrival of De Vane’s vanguard
of Alaska’s future meat supply. The
advices state that forty-seven of the
animals already have been disposed
of, and it is expected that the entire
herd will sell quickly upon its arrival
at Ruby.
