Alaska Metals
Lure Japanese,
Says Pioneer
Mrs. Laura E. Esch. a pioneer
of Nome, where she afid her hus
band. the late Peter Esch. dis
coverer of tin and other minerals
in this area, spent many years,
writing from her present home
at Banning, Calif., Box 32. to
The Alaska Weekly, says in part:
“I read with horror of the
raiding of Dutch Harbor. I think
General Doolittle started his fam
ous ra d on Tokyo from Dutch
Harbor. But I have my doub’s.
One of the main reasons for the
Jap raid. I think, was that in
May, 1937, the Japs got in con
tact with a Japanese agent who
bought the late Peter Esch’s No.
1 mineral specimens for the gov
ernment school, and said if they
liked them they would call for
more. The specimens arrived in
Japan about the time the Japs
went to war with China. We
nevei* again heard of the speci
al' ns or the agent. The speci
mens were sold for cash, and
the money was deposited at a
bank to be drawn as soon as they
were delivered from Banning to
Los Angeles harbor.
“Mr. E=ch had catalogued the
minerals and classified them as
to where they were found.
Among them were spec mens of
Alaska tin. some made into little
bars: 43 specimens of different
kinds of marble, asbestos and
numerous other minerals from
the Seward Peninsula area, but
chief i f all the specimens for
which the Japs fell wi re those
from the huge brown hematite*
iron deposit. sim lar to that !
found in Sweden. I read in San
Fraheiseo and Los Angeles pa
pers that the Japs had sent men
—.whom I will call spies—to look
over the dep sits, located on Sin
rock River Itwas stated that no
doubt these deposits would be
one of their chief objectives
should they ever occupy that
region.
“So it is up to us to protect
that region and the minerals it
contains, together with the lives
of our people and their institu
tions of democracy and freedom,
won and maintained in many
hard fought battles.
“Mrs. C. Chase, known as “Mo
ther Woods,’ was here last Sep
tember and planned to move to
Banning. She returned to San
Bernardino to get her belong
ings, and I have not heard from
her since. She is now past 87."
