MORE ON ALASKA
(Continued on Page Two)
rich mineral resources still untapped,
rivers and adjacent seas stocked with
fish and large tracts of land suitable
for pasturing cattle, sheep and rein
deer. , Furs in quantitl are still tak
en there.
“But extravagant hopes for bring
ing Alaska’s economic development
rapidly to fruition have brought dis
appointment in the past and will prob
ably prove illusory in the future.
Little of the land is as yet privately
held, though arrangements of various
sorts can be made for the exploita
tion of certain resources. Further
more, the mining industry and the
fisheries, which employ the bulk of
the small population, depend for the
sale of their products upon the inter
national market, prices being scarcely
affected by the local demand.
- “Gold mining was until 1915 the
principal mining activity, about $350,
000,000 worth of metal having been
taken to date in Alaska since placer
gold was first mined in the south
eastern section near Juneau in 1880.
in the early days many rich bonan
zas wrere worked and the recovery of
gold per cubic foot of gravel sluiced
was very high. Because of depletion
3f the richest deposits, gold placer
mining for securing the metal from
alluvial deposits is being increasing
ly prosecuted with power-driven ma
chinery, allowing for the recovery of
the country's vast resources of low
grade auriferous gravels. Further
developments along this line must go
hand in hand with increase in trans
portation facilities which will permit
lower freight rates on imported ma
chinery and stores and cheaper trans
portation of labor and delivery of the
product of outlying mines.
“Commercial "production 'of copper
has. been carried on in Alaska only
in The last quarter century. War de
mand caused a spectacular rise in the
price or' the metal and Alaska’s in
lustrv was stimulated tremendously
a I
by the increase. Production jumped
from 21,000,000 pounds in 1914 to a
high point of 120,000,000 pounds in
1916. Post-war reflation hit the cop
per-mining industry a severe blow
ind production has been much curtail
ed though it is still far above the pre
war figure.
“Petroleum accumulations have
been located in various parts of the
country and some oil has already been
produced. Large fields "were survey
ed by a government expedition in 1923
m land lying southeast of Point Bar
row, the northernmost point of the
rerritory. These reserves constitute
Naval petroleum Reserve No. 4.
Since they lie in a district.•which is
Dpen to navigation only about two
months in twelve, a considerable rise
in oil prices will probably be a neces
sary forerunner 'to an important de

‘THE COMING OF AMOS”
AT THE LIBERTY TONIGHT
Not even a princess can account for
the tricks her heart plays on her.
In the case of the “Princess Nadia
Ramiroff,” the exotic Russian noble
woman so colorfully sketched by V/il
liam J. Locke, in the "Coming of
Amos” which is playing tonight and
tomorrow on the screen at the Lib
erty theatre.
This Cecil B. DeMille supervised
production starring Rod La Rocque
portrays the Princess, surrounded by
ardent suitors of wealth and title, fall
ing in love with “Amos” an artles boy
suddenly transplanted from a sheep
ranch in wildest Australia to the sup
er-sophistication of the Riviera.
Uncouth, ignorant and grotesquely
clad, “Amos” first appeals to the prin
cess as “different,” but she soon dis
covers that she reflects his incon
gruous love for her. The presence of
a villainous husband interferes with
an otherwise perfect romance, and
the adventures of “Amos” in releas
ing from the power held over her by
a husband who forced her to marry
him, hold new thrills in store for the
blase theater-goer.
Jetta Goudal, the vivid French ac
tress, plays opposite Rod La Rocque
in the role of the Princess, while
Noah Beery as the “heavy” fills the
role of “Ramon Garcia” to perfec
tion. Trixie Friganza and Richard
Carle are other featured players in
the production, which is being filmed
under the direction of Paul Sloan?.
