AID TO MINERS
ADVOCATED BY
SEATTLE CLUB
SEATTLE, May 21 (^—Systematic
! aid to prospectors and miners was
advocated yesterday at a meeting of
the Seattle Mining Club. Vice Presi
dent Elemdorf said, “Something of
this sort was worked out by residents
of Boulder, Colo., to revive mining in
that district. Although only $50 per
month was offered, I am informed
that more seasoned prospectors than
could be used applied.”
President Leeliey called prospect
ing the “Nursery of the mining in
| dustry.” John. D. Hull also advocated
aid to prospectors. Other speakers
included Tom Aitken, Lee Steele,
Frank Way, Chester F. Lee and Chris
Tjosevig.
Leehey Blames War for Slump
Leehey blamed postwar tendency
to invest surplus profits in bonds and
stocks and tax free .securities for the
slump in mining. He said the pros
pector, like others, wanted a reason
able profit on their hunt for golden
wealth. He said that prospectors,
however, should be willing to sell
their discoveries at a reasonable
price. He added that Alaska could
not be developed without a some mar
ket for agriculture, which would de
pend on the mines, which in turn de
pend upon the prospector.
J. W. Whitehead of Cordova, said
one of the greatest troubles encoun
tered in the north was the high prices
the prospector has been compelled to
pay for his supplies and equipment
since the war.
Legislator R. N. Sundquist of Nome,
stated that Alaska was reducing its
taxes so as to make the territory more
attractive to mining investors, and
declared today that Alaska boasted
the lowest taxes on mining enterprices
of any country under the American
flag. He declared Alaska was on the
verge of a mining gboom, and report
ed a large syndicate had been organ
ized in Saint Louis to finance on a
large scale prospecting in Alaska.
W. T. Perkins will be president at
the next meeting when a Nome pro
gram will be developed.
CONTINENT MAY
BE FOUND BY
ARCTIC PARTY
NEW YORK, May 21.—(/P)—Donald
MacMillan, who is here during the
christening of his polar ship, the
Peary, said that he believed the vast
unexplored continent has a possible
million miles area, which lies west
of northern Greenland, and added
that, “Commodor Robert Peary names
it Crockerland, but I have only indi
rect evidence of its existence. Both
Peary and myself have seen the
mirage and reflection of it in the
sky repeatedly, and the action of the
tides and the condition of ice sur
rounding the area is additional sci
entific indications of its existence.”
The area is impassable for ships
and dog teams and therefore planes
are being taken along to establish
a base at Etah, the farthest northern
post inhabited so far by planes.
From Cape Thomas Rubbary, daily
flights in the summer will be made
to seek land, and on the return of
the expedition, MacMillan will ex
plore Labrador in an effort to find
the Norse ruins that have been re
ported by esquimaux.
