THE ALASKA WEEKLY
ALREADY IN THE FRONT RANK
We are proud to inform our many Alaskan friends that the
Editorial Stafl of the ALASKA WEEKLY, during the past 60
days has been called upon to contribute to the Convention
Number of the Northwest Mining Truth; has furnished a se
ries of articles on Alaska to the Christian Science Monitor;
was the only paper published in Seattle which was quoted in
the Literary Digest’s comment on the Presidential Speech in
Seattle, and has been frequently quoted on Alaskan subjects
in many other nationally known and circulated publications.
We feel that in establishing a newspaper capable of gaining
such recognition that we are making rapid strides toward the
attainment of our principle objective—that of giving Alaska’s
marvelous resources the type of publicity to which their
magnitude entitles them.

TRAPPERS DECLARE
TRAPPING LAWS ARE
REVISION OF FOOLISH FUR LAW
WOULD PLACE MORE MEN
IN THE FIELD
(Anchorage Times)
The United States government is
giving the trapper and prospector a
''raw deal” by the enforcement of
“foolish trapping laws” that drive the
trappers to “bootlegging furs,” says
S. W. Jensen, a trapper and prospec
tor from the Yentna d strict, who re
cently called in Anchorage on a busi
ness trip.
Jensen broup;ht in furs and a small
quantity of gold dust which he says
he recently panned out on Clearwater
creek.
“I would like to see the time come
when the fur laws are revised to
give the Alaskan prospector a fair
opportunity to trap enough fur to
pay his prospecting expenses. Most of
the trappers make their stake for
mining from catching fur-bearing an
imals, but of recent months the fur
regulations, laws and rules changes so
fast that a fellow never knows when
he brings furs to market whether he
is going to the bank or to jail.
