NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT IT
There is nothing strange in the thought that West
ward Alaska has been more or less forgotten or passed
up in this race for wealth. The first tide of immigration
came far to the Eastward with that hungry horde of
gold-seekers who went into Dawson by Skagway and
Lake Le Barge. They continued over the Valdez trail
to Fairbanks and just said ‘‘Howdy Do” at Dutch Har
bor as they hurried thru to Nome. It is not strange at
all that gold rushers passed by a stretch of country near
ly a thousand miles long between Seward and the far
Aleutians. The natives there and the early settlers calm
ly continued fishing.
Nobody gave that country much of a thought with
respect to minerals.
There has been many thousands taken from the
sands of Kodiak. In spots further west placer has been
panned. On Unga Island, many years ago, the largest
quartz mine in Alaska once operated; but the vein was
lost; the mine flooded and was closed down.
But there are two men out there now, Bradford and
Brown, the latter, by the way, was the original discov
erer of the famous Appolo—who are opening up the
Apollo this season; the lost vein was found by Brown
on Popoft Island, some distance awav from Uuga. On
Popoff development work has continued for two years
and, judging from reports coming from that section
of the woods, another big producer is in the offing.
We have the highest admiration for men who for
ever roamed hills and valleys seeking Nature's treas
nies and so to Bradley and Brown, goodluck! May your
modest desii’es be realized.
