SATURDAY, APRIL 8. 1916.
Those of our citizens who pos
sess an active interest in the wel
fare of Nome and the Seward
peninsula section should not fail
to attend the “Booster day” meet
ing to be held tomorrow afternoon
under the auspices of the Nome
chamber of commerce. Also, it
may not be out of order to suggest
that all others should attend,
even though they have no parti
cular interest in the welfare of the
community. It will not do them
any harm and they might be per
suaded to change their views after
listening to the remarks of the
speakers. The larger percentage
of the people of Nome have prac
tically no knowledge of the true
conditions or the future possibili
ties of this section of the Alaska
territory and are, consequently,
laboring under a variety of erron
«*<<uk' beliefs, chief among which
is the one that he country pos
sesses no potentialities and is,
therefore, doomed to certain de
cadence and final desertion. It is
safe to say that three fourths of
the people of Nome share this
opinion. Owing to the absence
of definite information concern
ing the actual resources and pos
sibilities, the great majority be
• lieve that the camp is figuratively
“on its last legs” and will ulti
mately be turned over to the nat
ural inhabitants, the Eskimo, be
cause of an absenec of productive
•^sources sufficient to warrant a
emit'nuntion of white occupancy.
That a belief of this nature is in
error will not be disputed bv those
who will take the time to satisfy
themselves of the true conditions.
X’ome is indeed decadent but it is
tar from being in the hopeless
condition that many believe. The
i of bonana goki strikes are
admittedly a thing of the past
though it is by no means deter
mined that strikes of fabulous
richness will not yet be made in
she hundreds of square miles of
territory still unprospected. The
recent strikes on Dexter creek are
proof that the possibilities of even
hose sections which have been
prospected for years have not as
. et been fully determined. It may
also be said that there are thou
sands of acres of tundra and hill
side areas on which no effort has
been spent in determining the
possible values contained. Out
■ ide of a few easily accessible spots
there has been little or no devel
opment and it will not be denied
by those who are fully aware of
: he facts that practically nothing
’s known as to the possibilities
of three fifths of the country.
Xeithcr will it be gainsaid by
those who know, that there are
wonderful possibilities for future
development in the vast areas of
-o-called “low grade” deposits,
the value of which has long been
demonstrated. Time and a change
of methods are admittedly requir
ed to place them in a productive
state but that such change will
be effected is hardly to be doubt
ed. Cheaper transportation is the
great desideratum in the develop
mnt of this portion of the gold
fields and once furnished will un
questionably result in an aston
i hing increase in the mineral
yield. In addition to the immense
: reas of alluvial deposits, Seward
; eninsula possessions remarkable
possibilities in the iron and cop
per lodes scattered in profusion
• ver the several districts. The
tin mines of the oYrk section are
alone an asset of inestimable value
and will one day prove a source
• i immense revenue to the terri
tory and its people. Also there
nre numerous other mineral forms
of demonstrated value that remain
to be exploited. Aside from the
possibilities of mineral produc
tion there are most alluring fields
for remunerative exploitation in
the immense fish resources of the
waters adjacent to our coasts and
in the reindeer industry, which
will in time become one of the
greatest productive resources of
Alaska. Unlimited- possibilities
of wealth production are present

ed on every side and their de
velopment on a remunerative
basis is the problem to which the
chamber of commerce is now de
voting itself. Earnestly, and with
painstaking labor the men com
posing that body are trying to
assist the growth and prosperity
of the community and the terri
tory by every means in their po\y
er. They are devoting their time
and also their money'to’the task
and are assuredly proving theit*
faith in future of the country by
'every means of expression possi
ble. Further, be it said, their ef
forts are not for themselves alone
but for very one in the district.
If their labors result in the suc
cess that is anticipated, the re
ward thereof will accrue to one
and all. They are going aheac
in a manner that betokens faith
and sincerity and an earnest de
sire to forward the best interest
of the town and territory. Such
efforts should not go unrecogniz
ed by those who will ultimately
share in what o success they
may achieve
\\ e therefore urge upon every
citizen of Nome to attend the
meeting and hear the truth con
cerning the possibilities for de
velopment of the section which
'we dive. As we said before it
will do no one harm and may re
sult in some being converted to
the belief that there is much to be
trained if we will simply lay aside
false views and lend our assist
ance to those who are pointing
the way to better things.
