YOUNG PROSPECTORS?
Youth always dreams that there will come a day
when he will make a stake. The one who accomplishes
that end begins by making his sacrifices early in life.
A year or two dedicated to searching the hills of Alas
ka, the creeks and valleys, will bring results far quicker
than a small competitive business in a field already
overcrowded.
There are large areas of low-grade placers await
ing prospecting to determine area and distribution of
values. These placers are worth more than the pay
streaks of the Klondike. The Geological Survey esti
mates that approximately $300,000,000 more awaits
extraction from proven ground in Alaska.
And yet there are regions 50 miles square known
to contain commercial placer and only half a dozen
men, and they aged pioneers, are digging holes to de
termine areas warranting the entrance of the drege
and other machinery.
Only the youth of the land with a tithe of the
courage of the pioneers, is needed to again put Alaska
in the spot-light of a gold strike. The gold is here but
it is least 20 years since a strike of any magnitude
has been made. That’s too long a time to elapse in such
a country as this.
One of the things Alaska needs is less young city
“slickers" and more lads innoculated with the germ of
prospector’s grit and independence.
In making his frequent appeals for more home
rule in his fight for a job in Congress, George Grigsby
finds strong endorement in the recent ruling of the
prohibition department which has finally come back
to the old America doctrine that there is something
private about the home after all.
.Democrats in mis city ana vicinity can cneer up
tomorrow anyway. We will have George Grigsby in
our midst than whom there is no better lambaster of
things Republican. This hurling of forensic bombs at
the opposition is a favorite national pastime during
these sere fall days. We all like to cheer when the op
position is on the receiving end.
After listening to this campaign ‘‘bushwaugh”
for some weeks we are satisfied that whoever is elected
or whatever party gets in the saddle, things are going
to be mightily different in Alaska. They dont know it
yet in Washington but a new dawn is arrowing this
way. Try and see it.
Alaska does not need laws so much as it needs
politicians who are working for Alaska instead of
themselves.
No use for the Game Commission to import goats
to Alaska. Wait until next month when the general
election is over.
After some recent years of experience we have be
gun to find that there is little difference between rail
roads and highways beyond the cost of the ties and
rails. We can get there now with our baggage by either
route.
Legislators should erect a monument to the chap
who invented junketing trips.
Our platform: Full dinner pail, free beer, five
hour working day, five day week with time off for
sports. A comfortable pair of house slippers at gov
ernment expense and a self-acting furnace.
This is the time of the year when Alaska’s most
distressing problem is its legislature.
