WHY NOT THIS ORE SAMPLER?
We have had a lot to say about the establishment
of an ore sampling works somewhere along the line o
the Alaska Railroad for the aid of the small mine devel
oper and producer and the subject is by no means ex
tikusted even though we have heard some lerntonal
officials making adverse statements about.'t l o us it
seems the biggest step forward for the aid of mm ng
in Alaska that could be imagined and the one thing
needed to revive mining interest and give aid an,, err
eouragement to the men who have clung t
hopes for years.
One adverse opinion heard was that what good
would a sampling works or a smelter be as long as the
miner had no road by which to bring his ore to market.
That remark is entirely out of order. In the first place
we have yet to hear of any of Alaska s road depart
ments not coining to the aid of mining properties which
were worthy of a trail or a road. Again, if a samplei 01
smelter were erected, outlets from ore beds will >e
forthcoming in many ways.
We know it is against the principles of our govern
ment to talk government ownership or operation of a
given enterprise but we are immediately confronted
with the facts that we have the Alaska Railroad which
the government owns and operates. We have the fur
ther fact that the government is appropriating money
to foster agricultural possibilities of the region tapped
by the railroad and again we are aprised of the appro
priation by the government of money for the aid of the
reindeer industry which is expected to bring additional
tonnage to the railroad.
Another argument put forward against the estab
lishment of a sampler or smelter up here is that there
was one in the Interior years ago and that it was a to
tal failure. The speaker evidently forgot to remember
11 lot of tilings which have happened in 20 years.
The installation of a sampler at this time would be
entirely consistent with the program of development
and would foster the main industry of the Territory.
We care not where it be located but of course it
will have to be near a source of cheap power.
Rough concentration would be necessary from
which the value of the ore could be judged The concen
trates, referring to a sampling works, would then be
shipped Outside and in the meantime the miner would
have sufficient money to continue producing This sys
tem has been followed and very successfully.
TOO MUCH REGULATION
Undue centralization of authority in the Federalj
government is most undesirable, in the opinion of Gov-;
emor Christianson of Minnesota, who sees a menace j
in the growth of bureaucracy which is usurping the;
power rightfully belonging to the individual states and >
territories.
In a recent article he declares that we have enough
of red tape, delay and waste now, and will have more of I
these, with perhaps corruption to boot, if the present i
trend toward centralization is permitted to continue,
referring to the numerous commissions and regulatory!
bodies now functioning in Washington for the control j
of commerce and industry, Governor Christianson says: i
While I approve of measures by which business is regulated
wisely and controlled firmly, I emphatically disapprove of the num- •
erous and petty regulations with which little bureaucrats in Washing- I
ton annoy and harass business, big and little ”
• • •
Every business man is subjected to numerous an- j
noyances through these foolish regulations and require-1
merits, none of which have any bearing upon the public
welfare or sene any purpose whatsoever except to
make more government jobs.
The tide has definitely turned; the revolt against
the dry law is on full-blast. It won’t be long nowT before
one may take a “shot”, look a “cop” square in the eye
and spit in the gutter.
A professor estimates that only one person out of
20 has a bath tub. Perhaps the others have no urge to
sing.
Being unable to dispose of Muscle Shoals, Congress
is now investigating it.
Filthy Lucre Of
Little Value, Siberia
The natives of Siberia whom
Alaskan aviators have come in
contact with would much rather
prefer trade goods, coffee, sugar,
etc., than accept money though
they do take the coin of the U.
S. realm in payment. “We always
carried food with us,” Pilot Frank
Dorbandt remarked yesterday,
“but for four days, one time, Ben
Eielson and myself ate seal blub
ber and rice.”
The intripid airman then asked:
“Ever see the inner shoe w’orn
by Siberian natives?” We profess
ed our ignorance on that score so
off came Dorbandt’s mukluk, then
the inner shoe. It is of soft skin
with the fur inside “and one’s feet
■never become cold,” he said.
In fact the entire under-gar
ments are reversed from outer
| the latter having the fur exposed.
| "Dressed in my Siberian clothing
; I can lay down anywhere in 40
, below weather and sleep like an
| innocent child," Dorbandt stated,
i He was then asked as to how
! they prepared for slumber but
; perhaps enough has been said
| about clothing for it appears that
; even upon entering one of those
j homes there is less clothing seen
I than on the modern flapper,
j Some wear beads and others,
i bare skins.
