OI K SLOW ALASKA
This Territory's snail-pace pro
gre s toward industrial develop
ment, statehood and other desir
able goals should surprise no one
who has studied her history. It
clearly reveals that Al.i ..a h ;1
w..}5 been a slow-moving country.
There seems to be somethin;’ basic
ab rut it.
Alasksk, in tins respect, i~ a little
like one of her early-dav pioneers,
Johnny Martin, who came north
away back in the 1880’s. He built
a little schooner and named her
the Maine after the state of his
blith, and with her lie prowled up
and down the coa-t. prospecting
and mining a bit, and hunting and
trading and trapping for furs.
fn later years Johnny Martin
tinned n fishing and with a good
deal of misgiving he had one of
the new-tangled gasoline engines
put in the Maine. It wa - a one
lull’, heavy duty a.b,.. and the
mechanic who installed it : bowed
I him how to prime it with a couple
of squirts of ether, set the throttle,
: urn cn the ignition switch and
wind up the flywheel.
The mechanic put the throttle
„t dead slow for starting and it'
perhaps never occurred to him to
tell Johnny Martin that it could
t set anywhere else. At tiny rate,
| it never was. The old Maine moved
along at perhaps two knots and
Johnny was satisfied.
■That's wheie the man set it
a:.a that's where it stays," he told
people who urged him to "open
iia up a little." And .vl Johnny
.Martin and the Mu x chupsed up
land down ti.e water".y; cf South
: east Alaska, dea l slow, -intil old age
retired them both.
Al .a j.tMl moves alow rat about
; he same speed a.; the schooner
! Maine. Maybe it is because, like
ti c Maine, . l'.o ‘ ot .if to a slow
j start in the very beginning.
Alaska wa. ju t about the last
I part of coastal North America lo
ix discovered. Bo-ton, New York
:id Philadelphia were thriving
;4ic:i and George Washington was
I a youngster cl nine before Vitus
■ Kerin;? si '.hted Mount. St. Elias. And
I George Washington had served a
term as President of the United
I Staten l.clore the Russian discover
’. of Alaska got around to rtar:.
. a permanent settlement here.
And even after the fast-step.pii
United States pot hold of the coun
try, things didn't speed up much
in Alaska. It. tool; 17 years to get
any kind oi civil government and
another 23 years to pet a Territor
ial government.
Meanwhile, Air ka had had a
old rush, which was by no means
i dull affair. But lively as it wius
it. Mr started, it was about
i .■ slowest-, tarting gold rush in
Big, isn't she?
Twenty-seven thousand, one hundred tons of fight
ing steel! But this aircraft carrier is only a light
weight compared to some of the towering dread
naughts that make the U. S. Navy the mightiest
in the world. Your navy is in there slugging every
minute, doing its job to defend you and all of the
things you hold dear.
But remem ter, defense is your job, too! And one
of the best ways to do your job is to buy U. S. De
fense* Bonds. You’ll be helping your country and
at the same time you’ll be making the soundest in
vestment on earth today. For U. S. Defense Bonds
are as sitfe as America!
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you're buying Defense
Bonds you're building a personal reserve of cash
savings. Money that will some day buy you a
house, or educate your children, or support you
when you retire. Remember, too, that if you
don't save regularly, you don’t save at all.
So go to your company’s pay office—now—
and sign up for regular Defense Bond purchases
through the Payroll Savings Plan. In this plan,
you may save as little as $1.25—or as much as
you want—each week. If you can save just $7.50
weekly, in ten years you’ll have bonds worth
$4,3-J.02 cash! You'll be helping protect America
—and helping your dreams come true.
*U. S. SAVINGS BONDS ARE DEFENSE BONDS
BUY THEM REGULARLY!

I history.
F r instance, when James Mar
I hall picked a handful of nuggets
ut of the American River in Cal
fornia on January 24, 1848, he
~uched off a gold rush that
•: ourht an estimated 80,000 people
nto the country in less than two
| ears.
nci when E. Hargraves hit gold
own in Australia in February, 1851.
:,c discovery pulled something like
C9.CG0 people within a year or so.
Nt.hing like that happened in
hi.ku with the first discovery oi
..Id, or the first several discover
J3.
First reported discovery of gold
n Alaska was hear a Russian trad
i po. t on the Kuskokwim River
eout 183J. Gold was reported neat
tic Hudson's Bay trading post at
uit Yukon a few years later. But
othing happened.
In 1843 the Russians sent a min
rr; engineer to look around. He
o.’ced about on the Kenai River,
lot far from where the first sernb
aiice of ail Alaskan gold rush
•uted some years later, but In
ound very little gold and the Hus
ains lost interest.
The Fraser River excitement ten
c urs later and the discoveries on
he Stikine, in the Cariboo and in
he Cassiar, were all in Canada
ntf they attracted mostly miners
m other areas and hence were
.vhat the miners tall “stampedes"
; licr than gold rushes.
Some of the miners trickled over
into Alaska and gdld discoveries
at Shuck, near Wrangell, and in
liver Row Basin at Juneau, re
idled. In the early 1880’s prospcc
;o: s began going into the headwat
ers of the Yukon and then to the
r itymile and Birch Creek, and
.1.ska’s gold production started.
By 1895 Alaska was producing
f.d .O.GOO a year in placer and $1,
725,090 a year in lode gold, making
a respectable total of two and a
half million dollars.
But still there was no gold rush.
A minor rush that attracted a
number of “outsiders” did develop
in the Cook Inlet country in 1895,
hut it soon played out and most ol
the rushers went home convinced
that Ala-ka had little to offer ex
cept muskeg swamps and mosquitos.
The Klondike discovery in 1896
really started things humming and
even though it was in Canada, it
became practically synonymous
With Alaska.
But even with that big discovery,
Galley 2 Northern Notebook III!
there is evidence that a newspaper
man’s catchy phrase had more to
do with startin'' the Klondike Rush
than did the actual gold.
By the time of the Klondike, Al
aska had sent some $14,000,000 in
| gold to the States without it cre
ating any undue excitement.
Then the .steamship Portland ar
; rived at Seattle on July 17. 1897,
I with what some genius on the
waterfront beat described as “a
, ton of gold.”
ltaw geld from the northern plac
ers probably did not average out
at more than $15 an ounce, and
a t n of it would have been worth
mound $480,000, or only a fraction
of the gold that Alaska had been
producing for some years. As a mat
ter of fact, the Portland is said to
have carried nearly.$700,003 worth
of the metal.
But the "Ton of Gold" headlines
caught the imagination of people !
all over the country, people who had
never heard of Alaska or thought
much about gold, and the big Gold
Rush was on something like 60
years after the first discovery of
Alaskan gold.
The gold rush doubled Alaska’s
population in a short while. It
brought in a lot of people who
have stayed to make their homes
and build the country, and a whole
lot more who pulled out as soon as
things began to get rough, ten or
a dozen years later.
With the decline of gold mining,
unfortunately, came a decline in
the mining of copper, marble and
.ypsum, and in almost all of the
basic industries.
Alaska’s decline was not checked
until Uncle Sum started pouring
high octane into the tank a few
years back, sending the R.P.M.
counter to a dizzy new high in a
beam that is as false as was the
took market boom of the late
1920 s.
Old-time Alaskans, fearful of
what lies ahead when the supply
of artificial fuel is cut off, are more
than ever aware of the need for
new basic industries to keep the
country going under even its cus
tomary slow bell. '
