Alaska has room for more people,
an indefinite multitude of people who
will not exist as a stream or float
ing population, but will be a pros
perous people having their occupa
tions and homes permanently fixed
in the Territory.
The Alaska fisheries and placer
mining, are by their nature seasonal
activities, the one flourishing the
few months of the year during which
the fish runs take place, and the
other depending for its exis-tence
upon the summer months during
which water for placer mining opera
tions is obtainable. It is undoubted,
ly true that the great majority of
those who follow these vocations do
not have their permanent homes in
Alaska but come or go from the
territory as the season for their
work begins or ends.
Lode mining on the other hand is
not a seasonal industry and m^y be,
and is, carried on the entire year
around even in the interior where
the winters are the most severe.
Hydro-electric power can be gener
ated both winter and summer if
the conditions are at all favorable.
A successful example of such a
power plant may be seen in ef
ficient operation at a town in the
interior of the Copper River valley,
the plant supplying power and light
to the |own during thecoldest win
ters. Alaska is very fortunate in
the number and extent of her lode
deposits and it is through the de
velopment of these into mines giv
ing continuous employment to a great
number of miners that we can ob
tain the increased population we de
sire; as the lode mines are developed
so will farming increase and prosper,
the mines furnishing the market for
the farmers’ produce.
A great many of the mineral lode
districts, especially those in the in
terior of Alaska, are remote from
any present system of transporta
tion and the cost of landing sup
plies to them is so high that very
little development work has been
done upon any except those few de
posits where the ore was of a bon
anza richness and could thus stand
the high freight charges. The
building of motor truck roads into
these now remote districts, linking
them up with already existing roads
or connecting with a cheap base oi
supply will make them accessible
and so lower the present excessive
freight costs, so that development
work can proceed. While at first
only such ore deposits will be mined

which contain a product sufficiently
valuable to withstand the haulage
charge, deposits of a lower grade
will receive some attention and, if
their size and character justify It,
powerful companies will acquire con
trol of them and eventually construct
a railroad to them.
It is at least 50 per cent cheaper
to move supplies in the summer sea
son with truck on a fair road than
to transport them on the snow in
the winter time, providing the
quantity to be moved is small. The
cost of winter sledding equipment
is greater than summer haulage
equipment, and thus makes the over
head charge on small quantities of
winter freight high. Where large
quantities of supplies are to be
moved this is not so and in that
case winter sledding on snow and
ice is by far the cheapest method.
In the early development stages of
a lode camp the supplies needed
would not be of great quantity, and
a motor road to transport them on
would make possible a saving of 50
per cent in freight cost, and this
saving might very well mean suc
cess instead of failure in the camp’s
development.
The Alaska Road Commission ap
pears to be fully aware of the great
need for roads to these remote lode
mineraal districts in Alaska and the
benefit the territory will derive from
their development, but is blocked
from taking action for lack of con
struction funds. I would like to
suggest that the territory of Alaska
itself might furnish money neces
sary for a thorough examination of
these undeveloped lode districts that
can be developed by road building,
an examination to be made by cap
able mining engineers and geologists
who will estimate as near as possible
the annual value of the mineral
wealth which such district may be
able to produce when fully developed,
appraising not only the known de
posits in each district but also the
probability of other finds of im
portance will require men of excep
tional ability and large experience if
any degree of accuracy is to be ob
tained. The U. S. Geological Sur
vey has among its members many
who would fill the requirements as
to ability and experience, among
others such men as F. H. Moffitt
and S. R. Capps, who are familiar
with Alaska and have a large fund
of knowledge of the territory gained
through their years of service in
it.
An estimate of the productive value
of a lode district, once made, should
make it easier for the president of
the Alaska Road Commission to pre
sent the estimate to Congress and
tell its members that the certain
sum of money invested in the build
ing of a road will develop a dis
trict that will produce this other
certain large amount and besides
give employment to numerous min
ers and will open up farm lands
along the road route upon which
farmers will settle and cultivate the
soil, marketing their crops at the
mines in their vicinity.
By all means let us have roads to
our mountain mineral districts, roads
down which mining, farming and a
greater population will march along
together towards the goal of a more
prosperous Alaska.
