“The more painstakingly we
look into the mining situation in
Alaska,” says The Alaska Sports
man editorially in the December
number, just issued, ‘the more
thoroughly we become convinced
that the present need may not be
so much for more prospectors as
•for investors to take over and de
velop the properties the prospect
ors have already discovered and
■which are lying idle for need of
capital to buy the machinery', la
bor. and other equipment nec
essary for exploration and devel
opment.’
‘‘In the propectors’ heydey in
Alaska the man without funds
could develop the placer claims
that were then to be found and,
on a small grubstake and with a
shovel and a sluice box, make
money.
“Today is the age of machin
ery. Most of the placer grounds
have been stripped of their easily
obtained gold. Dredges are going
-over the grounds which the pros
pectors scratched.
“No. it is doubtful if Southern
Alaska needs prospectors more
than capital for the development
of its mineral resources. There
are prospectors who have been
‘sitting on’ their claims for thir
ty years waiting for an engineer
to come along.”
In the Deember number, also,
is the first of a series of letters
of a King Cove school teacher,
Kenneth L. Cohen.
Arthur Jerome Beecher tells
an intriguing story of the gold
rush days, “Out from Eldorado;”
Steve McCutchen a story of a
“Goat Hum at Eklutna Lakev”
For a true adventure story of
<. .LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
the Arctic it is hard to beat the
one by E. L. Keithahn entitled,
"Stranger Than Fiction.”
In the story, "Alone” a woman
at Homer tells Chari Finley how
she outwits lonliness.
The Christmas number is un
usually well illustrated and has
a photograph of a moose at Tus
tumena Lake for a cover decora
tion o^d a picture of Mount
Blackburn and Kennecott Gla
cier for a frontpiece.
In order to afford additional
time for Alaskan licenses to com
plv with its amended Rule 443,
which was to become effective in
Alaska on November 1, 1938, the
Federal Communications Com
mission has further extended the
effective date to April 1, 1939, in
sofar as its affects radio stations
and operators in the Territory of
Alaka.
