SEWARD. ALASKA. TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1916.
There is every reason why the present year should be the start and
foundation of Seward’s prosperity. At least we all enter it buoyed up with a
more firmly established hope that out of it will come the period for which the
city and district have waited so long. In everything worth waiting for de
lays seem inevitable. There was a time when we believed the very act of
naming Seward the Terminal was all that was required to bring all sorts of
material success but, in u measure, the eup "as dashed, or, rather sho\id
away, by circumstances which had not been anticipated.
Glancing c vor the whole thing now there seems to be nothing in the
range of possibility that can postpone the innings of Seward longer unless
it might be a delay in securing the necessary money. There is one thing
which we ougi't not to let us fool ourselves about, however, and that is about
an emergence appropriation of two million dollars. Whether that appropria
tion is given or not the effect will be just about the same to Seward. This,
of course, should not make us less anxious about it in a sense. It will help
Anchorage an i what helps Anchorage will indirectly to some extent help us,
but we should remember that w ith that couple of millions, or whatever it
will be, the work of joining up the cities will not be done, and that is the
work which chiefly concerns Seward.
What Seward hope.- for is to see that eight millions appropriated. If
anything should interfere with that then, indeed, there would be reason to
grumble, but there is no reason to believe Congress will not keep its word.
Now, people of Seward, there is only one reason in all the world why any
attempt should be made to delay this appropriation or to cut it down. This
paper has two distinct little reasons for believing that a certain very large
{ roperty holder in Seward ha.- antagonized certain interests in Washington
and elsewhere and that he h;u- so antagonized them by foul and unworthy
accusations. The Gateway ha.- received a letter directly from one of those
gentlemen an 1 ha- heard indirectly from another. Both hate that Seward
man so thoroughly that they might even forget their desire for the railroad
in their desire to harm that individual himself. That is Seward’s only danger
;;t the beginning of the New Year and let us hope that the vaporings of one
Seward individual will not hurt the whole community and that we are finally
in sight of the promised land.

The Willow Creek Gold Quartz |
mines are located on tributaries of the
Little Susitna and Willow creek, 36
miles from Knik and about 16 miles
from Government R. R. survey. At
present, supplies are freighted from i
Knik on the government wagon road
and winter trail, amounting to sever
al thousand tons per year.
The veins are fissure located in
(Jrano Dyrite and are opened for long
distances, on one vein for more than
8,000 ft. continuously with high aver
age value ore chutes showing perm
ancy and quantity.
The climatic conditions axe more
favorable than in many districts
where continuous operations are suc
cessfully carried on all year. There
is sufficient water power which could
be developed, within five miles of the
mines now working, which would al
