Xhis WEEK all Alaska celebrates Dis
covery day, marking the forty-third an
niversary of the discovery of gold in the
Klondike and the beginning of Alaska’s
present and future development. On this
occasion, the Alaska Steamship Company,
which originated, also, with this dramatic
discovery, reprints portions of an address
1J delivered in November of 1927 at the an
A nual banquet of the Chamber of Com
j5 merce of the State of New York by J. W.
£ Spangler’ then president of the Seattle
r'f&W Chamber of Commerce:
0° June 15, 1897, the steamship ‘Excelsior’ of
jftCif § the Alaska Commercial Company steamed into
t the harbor of San Francisco and came to her dock
at .the foot of Market Street. She had on board a
number of prospectors who had wintered on the
Yukon River in the North Country. As they
walked down the gangplank they staggered under
a weight of valises, boxes and bundles.
“That night San Francisco water-front report
ers - telegraphed New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and other editors an offer to furnish a
story of the arrival of gold dust valued at $750,
000—brought down by miners from Bonanza
Creek, a tributary of the Yukon River. The East
was only mildly interested. What was a mere
$750,000 to Wall Street, accustomed to headlines
dealing with dollars in billions? The story was
given a small caption and the world wagged on.
“Three days later another vessel, the ‘Port
land’ of the Pacific Steam Whaling Company
yhV\:-\ \ \U
rode into the harbor at Seattle and berthed at the
Schwabacher dock, also bringing gold dust from
the Klondike. With a flash of genius .... a Seattle
newspaper reporter wired New York that a ‘ton
of gold’ had arrived—a ton! He told the truth,
but he wisely failed to remind the sapient Mr.
Knickerbocker that a ton of gold dust is worth
only $384,000 on an average, a little more than half
what the ‘Excelsior’—unhonored and unsung—
had already unloade 1 in San Francisco. Instantly
the Eastern editors wired for every word of the
story that could be cbtained.The country
was electrified. Headlines from Broadway and the
Battery to Barbary Coast rang every possible
change on a ‘Ton of Gold, a Ton of Gold’—and
the historical rush to the Klondike was on.
“This incident marks an epoch in the history
of not only Alaska but of Seattle and the Pacific
Northwest, by centering attention upon them,
and marks the beginning of development in that
still largely virgin region.
"The use of the word ‘ton’ as applied to gold
had dramatized even to New York a situation
that had existed virtually unobserved for some
time. The one syllable, flashed by a genius into
the world’s consciousness, at the right moment,
quickened the pulses of venturesome men
throughout the universe, challenged the atten
tion of financiers, appealed to the love of the
romantic, magnetized the latent pioneering in
stinct of virile manhood, and started a stampede
that created a veritable empire. Fact, lying dor
mant, had long been lutile. The genius of one
word shook a world—and Broadway_from
lethargy.’’

FAIRBANKS “BEAM”
TO BE CHECKED
I _
There may or may not be gold
in them tha’r hills—but that has
nothing to do with the Fairbanks
radio rans^e station established
by the Civil Aeronautics Author
ity.
Reports said to be current in
Anchorage and other commun
ities that the Fairbanks “beam”
station is knocked all awry by
the mineralized hills over, thru,
or around which the aviation aid
must trespass were pooh-poohed
by Jack Jefford, airways inspect
or for the CAA.
Jefford said the explanation
for the local beam’s course dis
crepancies—if they exist—is sim
ple. The station just plain has
never been officially tuned and
oriented.
First Commissioned “Beam”
As a matter of fact, Fairbanks’
will be the first of the Terri
tory’s radio range stations to re
ceive this final check for author
j itative sanction, and Jefford him
I self, assisted by John Livingston,
maintenance inspector, will do
the job.
For the next week Jefford will
be flying approaches to Fairbanks
j from all directions to note the
i magnitude and accuracy of the
j range signal.
j The airways inspector said the,
(dependable scope of the radio
| range tone is about 75 miles, al- j
I though it may be heard and fol- j
lowed from many miles further, j
After commissioning the Fair
banks range station, Jefford and
Livingston must make similar j
checks at stations in Anchorage, J
Nome, Ruby and Yakutat.
Jefford flies a new two-motor1
ed Cessna on the check flights, j
This is the ship he flew into the
Territory recently from Seattle.
He emphasized the point that I
heretofore all radio range sta
tions completed and in operation i
in Alaska were merely on experi
mental status, and were not au-'
thorized as official aviation aids.
This authorization will follow the
(check he and Livingston are con
ducting.
