WESTWARD MINERAL
When Westward Alaska is some
day more thoroughly prospected, or
shall we say, when it is prospected
at all, it is not too much to expect
some surprising results- Enough
minerals have been found at widely
separated points to indicate the
presence of much more in between.
In fact so little is known of the
country from a mining standpoint
that it is very possible some great
things are being overlooked.
Ever since the days of the fam
ous Apollo mine on Unga Island,
where millions were produced, there
have been sporadic attempts at
prospecting but it has not been
done on any thing like the scale as
prospecting is known in the Inter
ior. The whole trend of the white
invasion into Alaska was naturally
switched to the Interior by the big
gold camps, while those who did
go to the Westward were after furs
and fish.
However, it is now announced
that they have found what they
think is the extension of the fam
ous Apollo vein and propose to de
velop it.
Another good prospect of copper
has been located on the peninsula
above Katmai harbor and British
Columbia capital will look into that
matter this summer.
Placer gold has been found on
the beach sands of Kodiak and
were mined to some extent some
years ago. Other minerals, such
as lead, silver and copper have also
been found on Kodiak and some
development work was done, but
sufficient capital has never been
available for that section of Alaska
it appears. These indications give
at least a promise that Alaska has
another great storehouse of miner
al wealth that may some day be
unlocked.
RULE DOESN’T WORK
BOTH PLACES
We see by the papers that Secre
tary Hyde of the Department of
Agriculture is backing up a $13,
787,000 appropriation to carry on a
10-year war against predatory ani
mals which are named wolves, coy
otes, bob-cats and mountain lions.
He figures these animals cost the
livestock industry between $20,000,
000 and $30,000,000 annually.
But that’s in the States. Up here
in Alaska the government actually
protects bear instead of offering a
bounty, and the bears have cost
Kodiak livestock men many thous
ands of dollars in the past few
years
The eagle is also very destructive
to the fur rancher but they are
starting a movment outside to pro
tect the eagle up here. The sea
lion is very destructive to fish and
seems to have no other purpose in
life. But they have protected and
want to still protect that animal.
For why, God alone knows. The
bear, the eagle, the sea lion. If j
they are not predatory animals,
what on earth are they?
Apparently the only distinction
between Ghandi’s non-co
operationist movement ,in India
and Uncle Sam’s Prohibition revo
lution lies in the fact that the In
dians refuse to serve their mas
ters, while the bootlegger is not
so finiky about serving his booze.
The grooming of the Prince of
Wales for the presidency of the
British republic should prompt
Mr. Hoover to say: “Keep out of j
it, Eddie; look what the Pluto- J
crats have done to me!”
