W ith all due regard for the
many exceient* enurts made by
. ’v..i.,.oer ot commerce, the
attempt to induce employers to
give preterence to residence la
borers is the greatest step to
ward progress and prosperity
that has so tar been attempted
by tnat enterprising body. There
is oiny one way to insure the
prosperity of the community and
i nat is to keep the local wage
as—pc/ssiwe.*uomc -ft'1
ateiy so situated that the hulk of
ail the wealth annually produc
ed in the district docs not remain
in the community. Only a small
percentage of the several mil
lions taken from the soil finds
its way into the channels of local
trade and commerce. The rest
departs almost as soon as pro
duced to the outside, and there
is very little of it ever returns.
All that is left for Nome or other
towns in the district is the tithe
that is paid to labor and the
profits of the dealers who supply
the producing element of the
community. It, therefore, natur
ally follows that anything which
tends to restrict the earning ca
pacity of the resident wage earn
ers curtails the amount of money
in circulation in the community
with a resultant depressing effect
on trade and endeavor. It also
follows that if half or more of
the money annually paid out for
labor goes to those who carry it
to the outside as soon as the sea
son is over there will be still less
remaining than would be the
cae if the whole was paid to
those who stay here. Almost
every dollar paid to outside wage
earners is a dollar lost to the
community and there is no get
ting away from the fact If the
community is to be prosperous
we must retain as large a per~
cen-age of the developed wealth
as is possible and the most ef
fective way to do it is to pay
the money spent for labor to
those who will keep it here.
"If the administration wants to
know what ‘watchful wait
ing really means," says the
Seward Gateway, “it might
study Seward.” It is admitted
that Seward has displayed re
markable capacities in the wait
ing line but with all deferences
we submit that the future met
ropolis of the southeastern coast
has nothing on Nome. If the ad
ministration or anyone else
wants to pick up all the latest
(wrinkles in both watchful and
unwatchful waiting all tfhey
need to do is to come to Nome
where they have it down to a
fine art. We don’t believe there
is a community on earth that can
display mor perfections In either
branch of that innocuous indus
try. Waitng is the only thing
that Nome >9 really profi^nt in.
n fact we might almost be term
'd artists at waiting. We have
frown so expert at the business
hat we no longer trifle with the
simpler forms. Even the most
unsophisticated chechako he
roines an expert watchful waiter
after abiding in our midst for a
few months. Seward may dis
play some pretty artistic wr ..
kies but it has never reached the
point that it doe» nothing else
but watchfully Wait. ’ Sevyard is
always busy boosting for itself. •'
but vvt of Nome have become so
imbued with the waitings spirit
that we don't even do that.
Waiting occupies so much*bf our
time that we really have little
leisure for anything else. We
wait for everything from soup to
nuts and have grown so used to
the job that we no longer care
to do anything else- If it were
not that a flock of live wires drop
in from the outside every spring
to stir us up a bit we would long
ago have watched ourselves out
of a job.
ALASKA NOTES
Over a mile along the shore
of Kenai lake lots have been
taken by local people and several
residences will soon be in course
of construction there. William
Wcimer who went out there this
morning and Karl Y'aughan hav e
built two houses across the lake
and are just moving into them.
They will also build on the lots
near Mile 23.—Gateway.
The Alaska Juneau Gold Min
ing Co. has awarded the contract
to supply the new 8000 ton n.»«l
.f the company at Juneau with
:ts ent.ee concetti at ion equip
ner' »o the Deister Machine Co.
of .^un ' rancisco. '! he conti t t
involves over ■•>*•<•.( 00 and iin
bidding for the contract w:’
spir.ied v- a nuir.hu of compan
ies were after the work.
"Si” Scrofford, the sourdough
Alaskan miner, whose ship came
in via the antimony route, has
announced that he will become
Juneau district and will make
his home in Juneau. Scrofford
has cleaned up a fortune through
the operation of his antimony
mine at Fairbanks, the metal
having come into strong demand
as it is used in the manufacture
of munitionus.
Andrew DeCastle and George
Mors of the Perseverance mine,
were killed by a rock slide when
the apparently safe footwall cav
ed, burying the two men under
three feet of rock. Other’miners
who were working in the same
place escaped but the two men
were caught under the tail of
the slide. Goth men were form
erly employed on the Copper
River railroad, during construc
tion days.
Although the Iditarod district
lias reached the point where the
independent small miner is out
of date, the production of the
different creeks through dredg
ing and scraping will hold wp the
district’s output for the next
live or six years, says R. S. Mc~
^ban^aminin^operatorfroni^
, u- iditarod. ' People figure
iliat the iditarod is a worked out
camp. It is worked out as far
as small operators arc concerned
nut there will be a half dozen
years of big gold production yet
oelore the camp can be called a '
dead one."
Patterson & Hnley, who made
good money operating on Liven*
good creek in .the Tolovana dis* t
trict last summer, are reported i'
to be again in the big money. It
has been reported that the pay I
found last summer had been
worked out when they quit work
last fall but development has;.’
'/novvii that the miners only i'
wandered from the paystreak.
1 lie Alaska Petroleum and j
Coal Co., of Seattle, has pur*'
chased all of the equipment and
railroad material belonging to
the Alaska Pacific Terminal R
R., better known in Alaska as I
the Drummer company. The j
rolling stock is at Martin Point!
near Katalla, and the company |
will use it in constructing a rail* I
road from Goose City, on Con
troller Bay, to their coal lands j
;n the Bering river coal fields.
Norman, the 11 year old and j
only son of Dr Alfred Thomp
son. member of parliament for1
Liu’ Yukon, was recently elec
trocuted near his home at Rock
cliffe. A gang of men were en~ I
gaged in cutting away a tree re- j
cently blown down. It had;'
broken a live wire, which was
hanging near the sidewalk, and
the boy, who was passing
with his mother, giasped the
wire before Mrs. Thompson
could prevent him.
1 ies are now being cut by all
the men who received the con
tracts and scores of men art
being employed throughout tht
woods, says the Seward Gateway
of March 22. The inspectoi
keeps constantly traveling about
yvliere the work is being done
and shoyving just yvhat is wanted
is a tnetlid of co-operation be
tween both sides to the contracts
T lie Alaska Transfer Company,
has tyventy-five men engaged
cutting ties for the railroad and
and got out the first ties vester*
Dr. Irwin, of Philadelphia, has
offered a reyvard of $1,000 for the
recovery of his son, Reginald F
Irwin, fisheries inspector, who is
believed to have been lost with
two other men, Charles A. Clark
and Mike DeCosta, some place |
up the Chickamin river. The!
citizens of Ketchikan have offer-j
ed a reyvard of 100 each for the
recovery of any or all of the bod* i
Ies 1 he launch in which the :
men went up the river to inves* j
tigate reported violations of the j
fish laws, yvas found syvamped !
in the river but it is believed the
men reached shore as some :
of their clothing yvas found on !
thr banks of the river.
