In our issue of March 10th we
•published the first installment of
letters addressed to the Cham
ber of Commerce from persons in
terested in making mining invest
ment in Alaska. We herewith
present the second installment
•and will follow with others in
succeeding issues.
Obviously the Chamber of
Commerce cannot discriminate
nor recommend specific prop
erties to anyone. The Nugget
publishes these letters to assist
those who may require capital
assistance to develop their pro
■ perties, and feels confident that
by doing so it can be helpful in
developing Seward Peninsula.
Those who have written to the
Chamber of Commerce have
done so in all sincerity and have
invited response. It is hoped that
those who have property to sub
mit wiil avail themselves of this
opportunity and prepare full and
comprehensive data in making
their presentations.
