NOME. ALASKA. AUGUST 17, 1916.
The presence of a large number of
expert mining men in the district this
summer seems conclusive evidence
that outside mining interests are com
mencing to turn their eyes in this di
rection in the hope that here may lie
a profitable Held for investment.
Some of tljese men have been sent
here for the purpose of investigating
certain mining propositions while other
are combining examination of specific
features wiltr a general investigation
of tile district. Several are employed
by concerns of more than passing note
in tin milling world and, in several in
stances, are themselves men of wide
reputation as mining engineers. Some
of them fire InlrruKIInK thrmBelvcn In
the copper and gold deposits while
others are engaged in investigating
the tin and lesser mineral forms.
The number of these visiting en
gineers shows conclusively that a wide
interest is being taken in what this
section of the territory holds and the
prominence of several discloses that
this interest is backed by a desire of
their employers to learn the exact
facts concerning the mineral resources
as far as expert investigation will dis
close.
in a general sense it appears very
nuieli as if Nome is being put to a
test, on the results of whicli may de
pend much of its immediate mining
future. The opinion of several of the
visitors is practically law in the out
side mining world. On their estimates
binge mighty developments and for
tunes are spent pursuant to their judg
ment. Considering that they are, in a
large sense, aide to make or mar the
early development of the peninsula, it
is sincerely to be hoped that what
they see will meet with approval. Most
of us have, for years, nursed a belief,
based on the abundant evidences of
many and varied mineral deposits,
that the country is one of the most
remarkably mineralized areas in world,
that it is rich in latent mineral wealth,
and offers a prolific field for mining
development. This view has been sus
tained at intervals by the opinions of
men, who like those here today, were
competent to judge. Most of US who
have lingered here year after year
have done so because of a firm belief
that capital was the one element need
ed to make the country prosperous and
produce a corresponding condition
with respect to ourselves. "Capital"
have been the cry for nearly two de
cades and upon the prospect of its
ultimate appearance have rested the
hopes of a large portion of the com
munity.
The presence of such a large number
of expert miners during the present
season seems to indicate that, after all
tli years of waiting, capital is here,
knocking at our doors and waiting
only to lie shown whether or not we
have something to justify it in taking
up a permanent abode.
The question, and it is a very vital
question to all of us, is, will capital
find what it is seeking? Will there
be disclosed to the gaze of these ex
pert witnesses now in our midst suf
ficient to influence their Judgment in
our favor and bring that fondly antici
pated prosperity on which our dreams
for the future are based? Will some
of these men carry away the impres
sion needed to induce capital to take
nn active interest In what the conn- [
try holds ami to assist in its general j
development, or must we continue to
wait until some future day before
realizing our hopes and anticipations
of what capital can do for the country
and ourselves?
Men are hi re looking for opportun
ities to invest. Will they find them to
their satisfaction? We believe they
Will but, such belief is, at best, noth
ing but a belief. Apparently more so
today than at any time in our history
we are "on the knees of the Qod's."
What will their answer be?
