SMELTER POSSIBILITIES
It is encouraging to hear that Anchorage has a
chance of acquiring a smelter, and that they have even
gone so far as to incoporate a company to erect such
a plant as soon as the requisite tonnage can be assured.
It is even more encouraging to learn that they estimate
half of the necessary ore to keep an initial unit run
ing is already in sight and that there is every indica
tion that the other half can be brought forth when the
smaller mines can be induced into action at prospect
of quick handling of their ore here at home.
The Gateway has long advocated an ore sampling
works at some convenient place along the railroad as
one means of meeting a long-felt want. But if Anchor
age feels we can have a smelter, so much the better.,
The promoters have about satisfied themselves that the
fluxes are available. There is, os course, a plentitude of
fuel. Since it is proposed to put the plant on tide water
on Cook Inlet, it will be possible to transport ores by
barge from any mines that may develop along the In
let, in addition"to the rail haulage. There are doubtless
a number of small properties that have not been able
to meet the expense of Outside shipment, but which
might be put on a producing basis when a smelter is
within easy reach.
It is the desire of the promoters that they be given
all information possible about any property that might
become a shipper. If you have a mine or know of any
that might ship a few tons, notify the Northern De
velopment Company at Anchorage.
UNDER NEW FLAG
There are new names at the mast head of the
Wrangell Sentinel and from the looks of their very ex
cellent paper the boys are hopping to it with a will.
Linden B. Pentz is the editor-in-chief and manager
and Richard Suratt is news editor. The late issues that
have come to The Gateway desk are chock full of live
items. Pentz has been in the game elsewhere in the
Territory and apparently knows his stuff.
NO BREAD LINES HERE
There are no bread lines in Alaska because it is a
modern contrivance for which we haven’t any use. In
the first place, real poverty is unknown up here and in
the second place when sickness or other misfortune
overtakes one of us there is always a latchstring hang
ing out or a generous hand extended. It may be one of
the manifestations of a last frontier, but whatever it
is, we’ve got it and we are proud of it.
Charles R. Settletfiier, who for several years was
editor of the Dawson News, is now a mine owner and
operator on Keno Hill in the Mayo district, and thinks
the Mayo is a great camp. Can you imagine an editor
being a mine owner? Furthermore, can you imagine
any editor practicing what he preaches?
The grammar class may parse this sentence, dis
played recently: “Joan Sawyer in Our Blushing Brides
Cooled by Refrigeration.”
Gloria Swanson says of friend husband, “Apart,
we will always be good friends.” She seems to have
solved the problem of how to be happy though married.
Members of the new tariff commission—yep,
still another commish—have been appointed and may
now prepare for investigation.
The Soviet government plans to link Moscow with
Alaska by air transportation. The word “link” sug
gests that it might be wise to watch out for a chain.

!to meet all the readers of this
paper personally, I am taking
Ithis means of informing you of
| my qualifications for the posi

at the general election on No

of post-graduate study, I have
specialized in the field of school

With the special training and
wide experience noted above, I
