ALASKA COMMERCE
IS ON THE INCREASE
Commerce to and from Alaska
has developed to such an extent that
it is good business judgment to take
it into consideration. The stimulus
occasioned by featuring commercial
Alaska through the columns of the
press is much needed. Alaska needs
advertising, commercially and indus
trially. Too much of promotional
publicity perhaps has thrown a halo
of romanticism about the northern
Territory that is not healthful; like
a child prodigy who is stunted so as
to make profit by continuing to be
a child wonder before the public.
Alaska needs the application of
good American common sense. It
will respond most readily to the
injection of business like methods
as many such examples already in
practice in Alaska indoubtably
prove. Railway and Marine News
and Pacific Commerce is going to con
tribute to the welfare of Alaska
its share of this kind of effort, pos
sibly not wholly from an unselfish
standpoint.
Alaska will ever be the unde
veloped land of romance if the duty
of featuring the Northland is left to
the altruist entirely. That Alaska
is a great deal more than a meeca
for tourists—fine as that is—is being
borne out by evefc rapidly increasing
commerce between it and the rest of
the world; consequently, in future
numbers of this paper Alaska busi
ness may have no small place in its
pages.—Railway and Marine News,
Seattle.

GOV. PARKS APPOINTS /FORMER

The appointment of Tom A. Mar

From the first I have, with great in
terest, observed the college grow, de
velop and expand from a mere name
to a solid, substantial, character
building institution, whose future un
der the exceptionally able, efficient

dent Bunnell, is bright with promise.

it and I sincerely thank you for the
opportunity you have afforded me to
be of some real service.”

STRONG BOOST
FOR MINING
NEAR VALDEZ
If the Valdez district, with Its
several gold quartz mines and its
many gold quartz showing and
prospects, were located in Nevada or
California, there would be a mining
boom on that would soon bring on a
fine producing camp,” said J. B.
Evans, mining engineer, who passed
several weeks in the Valdez dis
trict, looking over the various prop
erties, and who became concerned
in a well known property of that
camp.
With Federal Judge E. E. Ritchie,
E. A. Bridgeman, former superin
tendent of the mechanical depart
ment of the 'Seattle Post—Intelli
encer, and others, Mr. Evans has
taken over the Homestake property,
owned by the Glaciers Minin Co. This
mine is located on Harrison Fjord,
an indenture of Prince William Sound
and lies over a considerable “bump”
from the well nown Granite mine.
It was located by two oldtime min
in men of the Valdez district—
Billie Hoan and Pete Blae. Soon
after it was located, the Free Gold
Leasing Company took it over, on
a leasing basis, installed a mill and
compressor, and did some explora
tion work. Then the war come on
the mining activities in the Valdez
district took a big slump, and the
Leasing Company, like several other
companies, went out of business.
Mr. Evans, who has been mining
in Nevada and California for the
past seventeen years, came to Se
attle last spring on a vacation trip.
While in this city, he heard of the

Homes take, and came north to take
a look. After making an examin
ation, Mr. Evans was convinced that
with more exploration work, the
Homestake could be put on a pro
duction basis, and with others took
it over.
Mr. Evans plans to begin develop
ment work on the mine early next
spring and will be in personal
charge of the operation. For years,
he was superintendent of the Man
hattan Consolidated at Tonapah,
when that property was in big pro
duction.
