Mining Activity
Deputy Marshal Frank C. Wiseman
and H. B. Wentz, M. D., of Akiak,
reached Fairbanks last Tuesda^ even
ing, having made the long trip from
the lower Kuskokwim by dog team in
fast time. The trail and traveling con
ditions were excellent, they reported
to the News-Miner of Fairbanks. Con
siderable mining activity is in promise
on the lower Kuskokwim, Deputy
Wiseman states. The New York-Alas
ka Mining Company is preparing to
dredge Bear creek, which is situated
40 miles upstream from Bethel and
60 miles inland. The Union Construc

company’s new dredge on the ground
and tractors have been engaged in
hauling the machinery and supplies,
aggregating 700 tons, during the
winter. Several men will pass thru
Fairbanks shortly, en route to Bear
Creek to install the dredge.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
