condemned the mining district tha
surrounds Seward, rendered a verdict
of “nothing there”, and then proceed
ed to advertise the erroneous decision
with a thoroughness and persistency
that was equaled only by the stupid
ly of such a course.
RESULTS
Ten years ago mining men and othei
men with money, looking for mining
divestments, stopped off at Seward.
*Jany of them optioned or bought pro
spects near Seward and erfpendeu
-rge sums of money in devek
equipping their properties. These men
drought thousands of dollars into.the
.ouiury and a veiy large portion was
*
cropped right in Seward— distribu*.
d among the business men. Today, thw
jelief among “outside” investors tha.
reward has no mines worthy of coil
^.deration, has become so prevalent i
uiat they do not even stop, but go oi.!
.o Anchorage, where they are piomp*,
.y .taken in hand and “sicked” on to
j willow Creek, by the best bunch o*
boosters that a mining district evei
nad back of it. Now as a matter o*
.act, considerable < more money hu* ;
been spent in the Willow Creek thai. (
.it ihe beward District, and just
.aany properties have failed to makt
good. Comparing the two districts,
oeward is shown to have many natur
al advantages over Willow Creek, viz;
.*iore than a hundred miles nearer
tidewater, which means better ana
ciieaper transportation. Many of the
properties are contiguous to the U. S.
Government Railroad and all are
near it, with good roads or trails lead
ing to the railroad. All have an abun
dance of water-power and timber
available; the former to be used in the
operation of mills, air-compressors
and drills; the latter for necessary
timbering in the mines, construction ox
camp quarters and fuel. Comparing
the ore-values of the two districts, the
odds are in favor of Seward. In view
of the foregoing'facts, why is the be.,
aid Mining District lying prostra.
while the Willow Creek and other min
ing districts of equal or less merit are
1
prospering and going ahead ?
ANSWER
Lack of cooperation; lack of boost
ers. Many local business and profes
sional men seem blind to the benefits
they have received in the p^t and
-hose they are bound to enjoy in the
\uture, through the success of the
gold miner. Too little is being saio
and not enough support given, by
those not directly interested in gold,
toward a move to stimulate its pro
ton in this district Gold has al
ways brought prosperity to the im
mediate district in which it was pro
duced. Why can not the people of
Seward visualize, and see the benefits
they themselves would derive through
the development of the prospective
mines that surround them? Local ef
forts to stimulate the various branch
es of the fishing industry, develop
natural gas prospects and find a way
to utilize the timber is tyth commend
il M and praiseworthy. But why cTo so
many local people, when discussing
fhe natural resources about Seward,
wit n outside newspapermen or possi
ble investor^ eliminate gold? To do so
it* breaking faith with an olu friend
Why not tell them of the Gold Re
servoir that stands right at Seward’s
backdoor, awaiting exploitation? Tell
them that the installation of an ore
•
treating plant, erected at Seward, at
an expenditure of $25,000, would solve
the problem at tapping this reservoir:
Would put the properties that are al
•
ready opened up, on a paying basis,
and see hundreds of ton^ of gold-ore
shipped daily, from these mines, over
Jie U. S. Government R. R. to the
' # v r
treating plant at Seward
The prosperity that would come to
Seward tad vkmity with the inettiOa?
tion of an ore-treating plant is mani
fest, and the benefit to the entire Ke
nai Peninsula,’manifold. Besides put
ting the gold mihefs On their feet, it
would serve to produce a burden foi
the Seward Division of the U. S. Gov
ermcnt R. R. Put the former on their
feet and you will bring a volume ox
business to every merchant and pro
fessional man in Seward that will
' \
“scare him to death.” Produce a bur
den for the latter, and you solve a
problem that is puzzling the minds of
every official connected with that in
stitution.
In relation to the subject of an ore
.renting plant for Seward, let us re
call an incident that occurred along
about 1916: H. D. Renolds, — of Alas
ka Railroad fame — came to Seward
and told the local people that if they
*vould subscribe $25,000, he would fur
nish the remaining capital necessary
io build a smelter, and that he would
buiid the smelter at Seward. Excite
ment and enthusiasm ran.high! Every
body in Seward wanted to subscribe to
| that fund; and when a conservative
[ mining man who engages in ligitimate
mining only, warned some Sewardites
| mat Renolds was ‘spoofing” them, he
i :en their displeasure for his pains. A
.art of the $25,000, was .subscribed and
• .eposited in a local bank, when some
irregularity on the part of the whirl
.. md promoter, caused the money to
je withdrawn and the *‘wild-cat”
.ihemc fell througp.
However, this action in 1916, bj
Sewaid people, would indicate their
ppreciation of the mining industry ^
i ..id its values to Seward at that time.
,/hat the mining industry meant to,
; ieward in 19i6 it means in 1920-21
p Jo,COO would budd a practical, effi
cieut ore- treating plant at Seward
and would be an a?f:et to the town,
aside from the advantages already set
«orth in this article. I.'owever, the idea
/
when introduced to heal business men,
has created little if any interest to
date It must be a seventh sense that
inspires the “human animal” to play
hot with the wild-cat scheme and cold
with the ligitimate investment
That gold is coming into its own
again is obvious. Even defeat of the
McFadden Bill can not prevent this.
Far-sighted business men in the States
who are being forced out of war-time
industries, are looking to gold- NOW

BIDS ASKED FOR DORA*
Bids for the wrecked steamship
’Cora of the Bering Sea Fisheries
Company, ashore on the east coast
jf Vancouver Island, and her cargo,
were requested recan t.y b., ...
McLennan, marion n. ;
•The request for bids was for
sel and her cargo as they are on .
Vancouver Island shore.
The Dora was beached following
her stranding on, a reef extending
out from Noble Island, British Co
lumbia. Capt. F. A. Hovick, who
was master of the vessel at the time
of the wreck, said the ship is rest
ing on a'Sandy bottom and he be
lieves she can be saved. Twenty
feet of her masts are showing out of
the water. She has a full cargo of
coal, oH, foodstuffs and general
freight, valued at between $50,000
and $6)0,000. The Dora was bound
for Western Alaska with supplies
for the Bering Sea Fisheries Com
pany’s codfishing stations when she
was wrecked.
