. With the help of dog and rein
deer teams, the Goodnews Bay
platinum miners have their equip
ment and supplies on the ground.
After the summer’s fuel has been
collected for the various camps,
then all will be ready for the first
^ opportunity to turn the precious
metal into the sluice boxes
This platinum camp, the only
one in Alaska, draws an increasing
number of miners each year. Be
ginning with only four men in the
summer of 1928 the camp has now
grown to 25 men and promises to
continue its increase.
Along with the mining operations
considerable prospecting continues
in an effort to discover additional
pay ground. Altho the camp is a
good one. it can not be said to have
stampede importance, yet it is
more than a grub stake proposition.
The coming summer promises to
be the biggest for the Goodnews
Bay platinum miners. And, should
these men succeed in adding more
valuable ground to that which has
already been discovered and is now
being worked, the camp will indeed
assume considerable proportions
Salmon and copper, between
them, account for more than one
half of Alaska’s merchandise ex
ports.
