NOME, ALASKA. AUGUST 4, 1915.
The All Alaska Review confutes in
most succinct manner the long en
tertained theory of so many people
that the placer camps of Alaska are
but tranitory things, doomed to dh
out in a few years and leave the eoun
tyr deserted by all save the indigen
ous ahorignes, by pointing out that
Atlin, Circle, Dawson, Nome, Fair
banks, Jditarod, Rubq and every other
lamp, on which, as the Review puts
it, "Many have pronounced sentence
of death," are all. "Alive and kick
ing." The Review also adds: "Not
only that but in each and all of these
camps new resources are being dis
covered. if the pay is worked out
near at home, the circles of activity
. are widening and each of the old
camps is becoming the distribution
point for greater areas .
For nearly twenty years all have lived
without a single demise." This brief
summary contains much food for re
flection and particularly for those
calamity shooters residing in this
neck of the woods whose pessimistic
caterwauling concerning the future
prospects of Nome and other Seward
peninsula camps is just now making
the very air blue.
As tiie review points out, Nome has
been in existence nearly twenty years.
That is a long time. But, Nome is
still on the map and will be there,
"alive and kicking” twenty years
hence—the jaundiced views of the
pessimists notwithstanding. Heaven
knows that the howling and hammer
ing of this gentry is quite enough to
kill almost any town that does not
puss. ss a superb vitality, but it will
not kill Nome for tne reason that
Nome lias too much behind it.
None who will open their minds ot
the true facts concerning this section
of Alaska but will realize that Seward
peninsula contains too great re
sources, too vast and diversified stores
of mineral wealth, to fall into decay
before so many years have passed
that there will be none of us remain
to number them. Before Nome lias
revelled to the primeval wilderness
cursives an 1 in all probability many
of oui grandchildren will have shak
en off tin. mortal coil and betaken
themselves to the great bovond And,
it is more than probable that even in
i far off my when tee last de
se rdant of . a> who are her, at pres
i • 3hall .ice iassed to the goal of
all humanity, Nome will be a bigger,
better and more prosperous town
than it is today or has been at any
time in the past.
The old cry that Nome is "worked
out” is fallacious. The person who
persists in the statement either docs
not consider or knows not of that
which he speaks. Hand that party a
map and pencil and request him to
mark the portions of the county ad
jacent to Nome that are “worked out."
Demand that be point out on the map

^Tfffifin ' tho 2
j ihe section that he absolutely knows
j io be “worked out." He won't do it.
It’ he happens to be a person whose
intelligence is worth considering he
will return your pencil without at
tempting to define the impossible.
Kven the areas that the uninformed
suppose to be worked out are, in real
only partially worked are a long wav
from being worked out in the proper
sense of the term, in course of time
most of them will lie worked again
ind the hundreds of interlying areas
iat have never been worked at ail up
to the present time, will yield golden
fortunes. And this applies only to the
placer deposits. In addition to those
i (here are vast areas of low grade gold
quartz which have not yet been
touched. Also there are Immense
stores of the lesser minerals in com
mercial quantities. Tin, copper, iron,
silver, lead, antimony and graphite
abound. None of these have been
worked in a commercial sense. Also,
as n further sustaining element, there
are the wonderful possibilities of fish
ing and reindeer culture.
With such remarkable resources as
these open to future endeavor and de
velopment, Nome cannot fail to pros
per, With an almost inexhaustible
store of mineral wealth lying in its
hills and streams Seward penin
sula Is bound to be prosperous. The
wealth is here and some one will get
it out. Fortunes do not lay around
waiting for some one to pick them
up for very long. We, ourselves, pos
sess neither the meanstnor the initia
tive to get it hut some one will. And
it will not he long. As the country
develops Nome will grow, perhaps not
in size Imt in opulence. Already the
new eni of development is commenc
ing.
The return of that benoflciont pros
perity for which we are all longing
is slow but it is coming. None of us
are starving; .ill of us are doing pret
ty well at least as well as we would
t>e doing anywhere else—so why not
cut out the k eking and wait with
patience the coming of the inevitable
day when Nome will he better than it
ever was.
