SPLENDID NEW ALASKAN INSTITUTION
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
The opening of the fine half million-dollar Hotel
Baranof at Juneau March 10, was an extraordinary
event in the history of the Capital City of Alaska. Duly
acclaimed with a banquet de luxe and attended by high
Territorial officials, members of the legislature and
leading Alaskans from many centers, the event was of
more than local concern.
Juneau long has needed the accomodations this
hotel provides with its 26 fine modern apartment and
96 rooms, and it is safe to venture the prediction the
town will not be overprovided with means of taking
care of its visitors even with the addition of this fine
hostelry.
Not only Juneau but also other towns of Alaska
have reached the stage where they must be prepared
to expand, providing more hotel and other accomoda
tions for the increasing transient population and tourist
business.
The more generally the Territory is provided with
such facilities, the more rapid will be the increase of
travel to the region, especially among the class of
people from continental centers who expect the best in
modern service.
All great tourist and travel centers the world over
maintain their prestige with up-to-date hotels and an
eye to the comforts and needs of those who travel.
The Baranof is one institution in which not only
Juneau but all Alaska may take pride. May the day not
be far distant when other cities of the Northland may
boast more such improvements which are such great
factors in the progress of the Northland.

Two Kinds of Claims
U It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim; If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.
