Merchant submarines are likely to

ALASKA'S FUTURE BRIGHT.
\V. C. Leak, the well known old
timer of Alaska and the Yukon val
ley is quoted in a recent interview
as saying that there is little likelihood
of any lug strikes being made in the
north again. Mo said: "Too many good
prospectors have gone over the coun
try ftu anything of great value to have
been overlooked. Any where you want
to travel in the hack country you will
find ancient prospect holes and rough
log cabins."
In this interview Billy Leak typi
fies the attitude of many who seem
inclined to extoll the old days and
decry the possibilities of a brighter
future. Billy himself is referred to in
th* interview as a prospector of thirty
years experience. Well, well. That’s
about as near the mark as nine tenths
of the reviewers of past days ever hit.
He was engaged in business ventures
to put it euphemistically, and had very
little to do with mining until the first
Dawson winter when, because of his
successful business ventures, be had
enough money to buy one of the rich

eat claims on Eldorado,
Now Mr. Leak is one of the finest
and squares! fellows one can meet on
the frontier or elsewhere, but we ques
tion his Judgment regarding future
new diggings in Alaska. His own
memories of Alaska camps should
show him the baselessness of his
prophecy. When he went down to
Fortyinlle and Circle on his ventures
he passed u dozen creeks that had
been "prospected" by good men. Es
pecially interesting is the fact that
hundreds of men went by the Klon
dike. Some few prospected up that
stream. But In spite of the richness
of the first tributaries and even of
the lower part of the river itself, they
failed to find any coarse colors. Later.
Carmack found his rich prospect on a
bench about nine feet high and the
Dawson stampede began.
So It was with Fortyinlle. In the
early nineties, practically all the min
ers in the Interior were centered on
Fortyinlle river. There were many
"good” men among them. too. They
went all over the basin 01 (he river
and found sonic rich tun diggings and
some pool creek diggings, such as
Poker creek. \'<u riches have been
uncovered in that basin ever since
with the result that Fortyinlle river
has produced inon gold each year for
the past twenty years than it ever did
illt the palmy days of tin lit-' pion-vrs
The history ot Fairbanks has been
the same to a certain extent There

New diggings, mark you. Only th
other day we read of a foolish, oi
course, and enthusiastic prospecto,
who started out with a jackass or tw.
to hunt a fortune in the hills. H*
Journeyed along a turnpike which ha
been traveled by stage coaches fui
half a century. Seeing a streak o,
different colored dust In the road
ahead and not knowing much about
prospecting any way he stopped l >
examine the pinkish dust. It felt grii
ty and there was a dyke of rock visi
ble on the hill side of the same color.
So he took a pan full of the dirt down
to the creek and washerd it. Hi'
found a lot of fine colors. His investi
gations ended by his staking a quartz
ledge that he sold for $400,000 cash.
And this rich ledge ran across a road
that had been traveled by tens of
thousands of prospectors, miners and
mining experts in previous years.
No. we can’t agree with Mr. Leak
that nothing of value remains to be
discovered in Alaska. Hat her we
would agree, with the government ex
perts and thousands of hopeful, hust
ling Alaskans, that the country has as '
yet only been scratched on the surface
and that new' diggings will be found
for many years to come.
