wealth und inuuslries and the pos
sibilities for future development. In
pursuance of tins intention, every
scrap ot information relative to the
mineral forms, the mining activities
and the general inuustriul conditions
of the district is collected from the
most reliable sources that can be
reached and is then presented within
the pages ot the magazine In such
A
form as may be readily understood
by every emss of reader.
The publication is, therefore, of
more thun passing value wiieu con
sidered In the light of an advertising
medium.
Needless to say, the magazine
woum, a properly disuibuteu, be
come a powerful factor in furthering
the interests of this section of the
territory through making known to
the possible settled or inventor ex
actly what the country holds and the
possibilities of renumerulion offered
to those who care to invest their time
and labor or money in Its further
development.
hut. It so happens that throughout
tlie years in v.Inch the magazine has
l «tn issued the pi.I lie has seeming
ly overlooked the lac value In this
i e»pect and have amo failed to grasp
the real object of its publication.
Although Nomties have bougut many
thousand copies since the initial
number was Issued in 1910, but sel
dom have the pur -hosers given the
fabg test thought '.o the advertising
possibilities prosoa'ea in their pur*
oh' sc.
The majority e looked upon
the magazine a3 loimng more than
a souvenir of the country; as of no
parucu>ur value exce* * to disclose to
those tar away the lo them, siruuge
cot.Villons of a ae.v and unknown
land.
It is our earnest conviction that
noi tne in t6n of those who have
pu; chased copies of the publication
t.i termer years have had the least
idea cf employing it to the use and
purpose in‘ended by the publishers,
namely to advertise the country aim
us'm! In promoting Its development.
Not only Is it believed that thos,
w io purchased the publication have
lulled to grasp the Intent but they
hive also failed to give the slightest
nerd to the advertising value of the
1'0< k or to Its potentialities for lm
pre’ dig their own condition through
a...acting investors who might en
large tbs scope of local ludustriai
acti’lDes by assisting in the develop
ment of the latent resources.
As we said before, this Idea appar
ent.y occurred to few and the ma
jority accepted the magazine as
nothing more than an Interesting
soatrnlr of the country, The result
has been that fully ninety live per
cent of the great number sold during
the past six years have gone to those
who possessed absolutely no interest
in the country, beyond the cursory
interest usually manifested in any
thing that Is new and strange, and
who would not under any conditions
of circumstances either visit the
country or investigate its posslhUl*
ties. Needless to say, this mef&dd ef
distribution has resulted in prddQcal*
ly no benefit to tbe ■' country and'
much good advertising has beed Com
pletely wasted. Had the pubfif
grasped the idea that the ’ magsrftie
was an advertlsment pure and sim
ple and also that it afforded them
an opuortunity to improve their own
condition if ludiciously distributed.

it Is probable that Reward peninsula
would be much farther along in the
matter of development that it is at
present.
During the present season, however,
the citizens of Nome seem to have
realized for the first time that they
have been consistently overlooking
an extremely valuable opportunity
in the' past—that they have been
lltaraUy throwing away an immense
advertising force that could have been
eihployed -to the advantage of the coun
try and themselves.’ Further, they
seem to have not only grasped the
fact that they have been overlooking
something but have also resolved to
devote the magazine to other and
more useful purposes than merel>
sending them abroad as an interesting
souvenir of a strange and far away
