WORKING FOR SAME OBJECTIVE
The last edition of the Alaska Weekly published in
Seattle which, was received in Seward Saturday contained
the following editorial which is re-published intact.
The editorial:
The following editorial appears in a recent issue of
the Seward Gateway, one of the livest of the newspapers
of Alaska.
THAT’S ALL ALASKA NEEDS!!
It's rather peculiar about the reported Cassiar strike,
for long over a year now The Alaska Weekly, published at
Seattle, has been publishing glowing accounts of mining
activities of that region yet, without exception, every old
timer who has passed through Seward after visiting the
Cassiar brings back unfavorable reports. If the majority
of these oldtimers were not “sourdough” prospectors we
would pay little attention to the conflicting reports and
let her go as she looks.
Frank J. Cotter, the Seattle paper representative,
writing from the Cassiar last year, said, “If we just had
2,000 digging prospectors to turn loose in that Cassiar for
the next three months you would see a real placer camp.
Right now the need of the Cassiar is more prospectors
and fewer knockers.”
As we view the situation that is all any part of Alaska
needs, more prospectors in the field, also, more knockers
for on the average a knock can be considered a boost. If
we had 2,000 prospectors in the Nuka bay or Moose Pass
districts or in any part of the Territory, mining activities
wound be bound to increase.
We don’t like controversies with our brethren in the
newspaper field in Alaska. Long ago in the first issue of
this publication we announced ourselves as intending to
join hands with the papers of Alaska in an attempt to
help build the country which includes all possible help and
co-operation with the newspapers of the territory. But we
don’t like to be misquoted either intentionally or other
wise, and we rise to state that The Alaska Weekly has yet
to publish a single “glowing report” of mining activities
in the Cassiar. Mr. Cotter’s stories have been run from
time to time and no one who knows Frank Cotter ques
tions for a moment that his reports on the district carried
a line that he did not believe to be true. Editorially, we
have repeatedly stated that no reports from the Cassiar
justified a stampede and have just as repeatedly stated
what is still our honest conviction—that the Cassiar coun
ry was a district well worth the attention of seasoned
prospectors willing to work.
We quite agree with our friend, The Gateway, that
there are mighty few spots in Alaska where 2,000 pros
pectors of the old school might be turned loose with good
grubstakes and fail to produce results. We invite the Sew
ard Gateway, in the interest of fair play to look over a file
of The Alaska Weekly for the past year and count the
front-page stories devoted to the Nuka bay district.
Most of the people who boast of “overcoming” temp
tation never saw a real one.
