DISLOYALTY TO A TOWN
(From Sitka Tribune.)
The word disloyalty should be one
that every one that has any sense
of honor should shudder to hear. Dis
loyalty can be used in so many dif
ferent ways not only pertaining to
our country, our. friends but to our
selves. One that is disloyal to him
self can never be loyal to anything
•whether ideals, humanity or facts.
A person that cannot cooperate with
others for the benefit of his town is
disloyal to his town, himself and his
family.
Loyalty and cooperation go hand
in hand. How is it that large cor
porations are founded? On the basis
of loyalty and cooperation. Other
wise it would be impossible to make
it success.
All thru life we do many things
we do not like, but if we exist and
have others depending upon us we
must do them. Every one cannot
always do things to suit themselves,
for no matter where we turn or what
we do there are others to think of
beside ourselves. Disloyalty is in
many ways only another form of self
ishness. To make a town go ahead
we nfust be loyal and cooperate.
Many own property have their per
manent home here and own business.
It is all right to think of yourself
when one is single but when one has
a family they must look ahead into
the future and plan to make their
town a place where children are
contented to stay. Parents general
ly dread that parting that eventually,
will come between them and their
children. Especially when the town
is small and seems as if there is not
any hope of it growing. The young
are- determined to try their -wings
and go some place where they feel
they will make a success. If we
desire to keep the young with us
we must be loyal to our town and
cooperate. That is the only hope
for the towns in Alaska because if we
will not help ourselves the Govern
ment surely will not get in and do
it for us. It is easy to sit in a
chair and deliver our opinions of
what we think ought to be done but
not so easy to get in and do it, and
yet if everyone got in and cooperat
ed and showed a little more than
the usual amount of loyalty towards

the town how much further would
it not go, than to sit and deliver the
verbal message that the town is dead,
that it has not any resources, that
the government is holding us down
that we have never had a chance.
It is up to us to show loyalty to
our town and to each other. What
do outsiders think when they come
into a town and hear the majority
of the people whining they are held
down by the government, they have
not any resources, that so and so
controls the town and the rest fol
low like sheep, but they have mon-’
ey involved in this or that and they
have to stay. Let us show a spirit
of loyalty and cooperation to out
siders and try practice the same at
home. The first attempt might be
difficult and meet with rebuffs but
in the end, will succeed.
HOW OCCUPATIONS CHANGE
Seventy years is not a relatively
long time in the life of a nation such
as ours, yet so rapidly have industri
al conditions changed that within
the period since 3 850 the occupations
of the people of the United States
have been radically altered.
Many trades which formerly pro
vided employment for large numbers
have almost disappeared, while oth
ers, unheard of seventy years ago,
have grown to vast proportions, as
showTn by census reports recently re
viewed.
Occupations which have showrn a
marked reduction in the number of
persons employed in proportion to
population include those of shop
wood workers, marble and stone cut
ters, wheelwrights, coopers and black
smiths. The village blacksmith, for
merly an important adjunct of com
munity life, has almost vanished
from many sections.
A tremendous increase is showrn
in the proportion of machinists, while
electricians, automobile mechanics
and chauffeurs, airplane artificers
and moving picture operatives have
taken leading places in the industrial
scheme.
In proportion to population plumb
ers have increased nearly 25 times,
architects seven times, barbers, hair
dressers four times. Clergymen, law
yers and physicians have maintained
a fairly steady average, as have car
penters and joiners.
Few women were employed out
side their homes in 1850, excepting
as teachers, so that all engaged in
other occupations at present practic
ally represent a net gain.
What of the future? Will new in
ventions again revolutionize indus
try and employment as the automo
bile, typewriter, moving pictures,
electrical appliances and other epoch
making inventions have done?
The question is interesting, but
we must wait for the answer.
Secretary Richey to Return
North In the Near Future
IS ACCOMPANYING FISHERIES
PARTY IN AN UNOFFICIAL
CAPACITY
Lawrence Richey, assistant secre
tary to Herbert Hoover, who is a
member of the distinguished party of
government officials on an inspection
of the fisheries of the Territory, is ac
companying the party solely as an ob
server, and as a representative of
Secretary Hoover. This is his first
trip to Alaska and he is very much
impressed with what he has seen.
Two years ago he was on the verge
of coming North when he was sud
denly called to Europe. Last year he
stated business prevented him from
making the journey, so when the op
portunity arose a few weeks ago, he
grasped it. Aside from his duties as
secretary to perhaps the most out
standing figure at Washington, next
to the President, Mr. Richey finds
time occasionally to contribute short
stories and articles to various publi
cations. In this respect he is quite
well known in literary circles.
Mr. Richey said he had little to
talk about as this trip is in an unoffi
cial capacity, but when he returned
again, which he intends to do in the
near future, he hopes to have some
thing of more importance to say.
In all seriousness one tourist was
heard on the Admiral Watson telling
another traveler that there was no
moon in Alaska. It must be a mis
take as there is plenty of moonshine.
ENGINEER HESS
SAYS NUKA BAY
IDEAL REGION
NO OTHER DISTRICT IN ALASKA
CAN EQUAL NUKA BAY SAYS
PROMINENT MILLMAN
RESIGNS HIS POSITION
Graduate of Alaska College Tells of
New Gold Camp—Road Com
mission Building Road
August Hess, former millman in
charge of the Alaska Hills Mines Cor
poration at Nuka Bay, resigned his
position last week and is now a busi
ness visitor in Seward for a few days
prior to his departure for the Inte
rior. Tn a review of the region and
of those properties he has visited and
those of which he has heard, Mr. Hess
who is a graduate of the mining course
of the Alaska Agricultural College
and School of Mines gave the follow
ing to The Gateway for publication.
“The Alaska Hills Mines Corpora
tion is located on the north arm of
Nuka Bay. The mine workings pro
per are on the west bank of the creek.
There are two tunnels being driven,
the lower one being about 600 feet
above the creek level and the upper
tunnel is about 100 feet above the
lower one.
“The Alaska Road Commission is
building a very good trail to open up
that part of the region and work on it
is progressing rapidly. When com
pleted it will be possible to pack sup
plies anytime of the year to the
ground. The property is equipped with
a Worthingtoq ball mill, a Blake
crusher, classifier and a Deistes con
centrator. The power for the plant is
furnished by a Pelton water wheel,
connected by belt to the ball mill and
crusher, and operated under an 80-foot
head of water from a nearby gulch.
Blocking Out Ore
“The mine is being developed by
the two tunnels, the lower one being
driven in 200 feet. The vein is two
feet in width and shows good values.
Samples taken from the face shows
considerable free gold. The upper
tunnel is in 80 feet with the ore body. I
four feet wide. Raises are being put *
in and the ore is being blocked out
for stopeing. The mill is running two
shifts, day, and night. The country j
rock of the ore body is principally
graywack and slate. Free gold is
found associated with the sulphides.
Arsenopyrites is the principal sul- •
phide, galena sphalerite and pyrite be
ing subordiate.
An Ideal Country
“James. Foster and associates have
some very promising property just
below the • Alaska Hills ground and '
below Foster’s claim is the Skeen
Harrington property. Some of the
samples taken from the latter ground
is extremely rich, gold being scattered
all through the rock. Nuka Bay of
fers great opportunities for the pros
pector and investor. For the small
amount of work done in the district,
there is no other camp which show's
such good prospects. Most of these
have been found close to the water’s
edge, making transportation easy to
the properties. There is ample tim
ber and water for the mines and
buildings, and w'ater power is found
in abundance.”
Mr. Hess is a guest of the Hotel
Sexton.
