MAGIC WORD—GOLD! THAT URG
ED FIRST WAVE OF MIGRA
TION TO TERRITORY
Non-Metalic Mineral Deposits Neglect
ed Phase of Alaska’s Natural
Resources
Introduction by Ernest N. Patty,
Dean of the Alaska Agricultural Col
lege and School of Mines.
History repeats itself. It was the \
lure of gold that furrowed deep the j
trails to the Oregon country and to1
California. For a time gold reigned
supreme in the mineral industry of
the west. The westward migration
continued bringing with it the rail
ways and the demand for other min
eral products. By 1900 it became ap
parent that the west coast cities were
destined to become important manu
facturing and commercial centers. It
was then that gold mining was de
throned as king of the western min
eral industry. Today in California
gold forms less than four per cent of
the total mineral production. The
mining of limestone and shale for the
manufacture of cement lacks the rom
antic appeal of gold mining yet the
value of cement produced each year
in California is about twice that of
gold.
It was gold that surged the first
wave of migration to Alaska. Just
now we are approaching the time
when we are ready to grive serious at
tent ion to the development of Alaska’*
non-metallic resources. It is not tc
be expected that we can rival the we*
tern states in this regard for the de
1 mand for non-metallic minerals bear?
a ratio to the nearness of Industrie
centers.
Alaska's non-metallic resources mns
look to the constantly expanding: indue
; trial centers of the acific Coast fo:
their markets. The work of the Gen
i ernment in building the Alaska Baii
way and in expanding a net of road*
and trails has linked many section*
with ocean ports—sections tonne*!;
regarded as inaccessible to a proh
live degree.
There are certain non-metallic de
posits which, if found within reason
able distance of water or rail mans
portation, could be profitably exploit
ed in Alaska. There are others which
