MINING INDUSTRY
BOUND 10 HAVE
GM REVIVAL
SAN FRANCISCO.—Mining the
industry which has played so vital
a part in the winning: of the war,
will assume a position of greater
importance following: the cessation
of hostilities than ever before, ac
cording to Fletcher Hamilton- state
mineralogist. Development of new
mining fields is essentially a pion
eer enterprise, said Mr. Hamilton,
and activities of this character have
always been evidenced in the pe
riods after the important wars of
the world. The independent, open
air, “do and dare” spirit is en
gendered in the hearts of the sol
dier and sailor, and thousands of
the American boys who are soon
to come home from France will
never again be satisfied to sit at a
desk through the day, and go home
to a stuffy room on a city street
at night. Mining is the type of
industry which will attract these
men.
Three contributing factors, said
Mr. Hamilton, will assure the truth
of the statement that mining, par
ticularly in California, is on the eve
of a great revival.
1. The demand for metals, struc
tural materials, petroleum products
and heavy chemicals which will ac
company the reconstruction, re- ^
habilitation and reorganization of
the entire civilized world.
2. The existence of all kinds of
mineral deposits- both developed
and undeveloped, in every one of
the 58 counties of the state, which
will make possible partial satis
faction of that demand, at least.
3. The accessibility of labor and
brains trained to tasks of the nec
essary character, and the energy
and initiative to carry on the work,
as represented in the presence of
returned soldiers and others who
will look to the West for a field in
which to begin life anew.
The mining laws of the state and
nation are so framed, Mr. Hamilton
said, as to offer every encourage
ment to the prospector and pioneer.
When a mineral deposit is dis
coverd on public land—and there
remain large tracts of government
land yet open for location in
California—the staking out of a
claim and recording of that act in
the local county recorder’s office
gives the locator possessory title
to the ground- One hnudred dol
lars worth of assessment work an
nually performed maintains such
title indefinitely.
In the beginning gold, he said,
was the sole mineral substance pro
duced in California. Last year 54
different mineral substances were
mined and marketed, in the 57
L-ounties of the state. Gold is still
* big item in the total output,
But where it constituted three
fourths of the total value in 1887,
»nd almost one-half in 1907 it
made only one-eighth of the entire
imount in 1917. This in face of
he fact that the gold production
itself was consistently increasing
luring the 30 years mentioned;
which means that scores of adopted
»nd native sons have slowly but

surely applied busiqess methods to
the unearthing: of bodies of clay,
jsbestos, graphite, ochre, mica,
soapstone, granite, slate and soda,
is well as to gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc, and the many struc
tural and industrial materials- and
salines and petroleum which under
lie the hills and valleys and deserts
of our well named “Golden State.’’
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Goodfellow,
who were in business for many
years in Fairbanks, are now on a
ranch near Portland.
In a letter to friends in Nenana,
Mrs. Goodfellow says that she would
very much like to come North again
but that she feels that their duties
seem to lie, for the present, on the
ranch.
They were in Portland recently
on a visit and came across many
Alaskans there among them being
Mrs. Charles Scott (nee Vesta
White! Mrs. Balton, formerly of
Gordon’s store, Mrs. Frank Whitely,
Miss Hazel Wattles, Mrs. Los Ber
oard, Mrs. .lack Hayes, Charley
loynt and Fred Heilig.
She says she received a letter
from Klmer Deiser, a former Fair
banks lad, written on November fi,
'rom a base hospital in France,
chore he was recovering from a
vounded shoulder caused by the ex
blosion of a shrapnel shell in front
>f his dugout. He had been on
he firing line several times.
