SEWARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1916.
The gold strike near Cold Ba> is one of the facts that go to show that
the possibilities of placer mining in the territory are by no means exhausted.
There are still unquestionably many tiekis of placer that remain to be un
cox ercd. It was only after years of prospecting that Ruby developed into a
camp. Hundreds of people left Fairbanks in 1903 without seeing a sign of
gotd although they had been on the ground for many months. The same
story may be told of other districts and the difficulty experienced in finding
the paystreaks in those plaees indicaves the possibility that there are numer
ous sections in the vast territory where the crowd has never penetrated in
sufficient numbers to give them a real testing.
In the issut of the Saturday Evening Post which has just arrived H. G.
Webs, the famous scientific-romantic writer, expresses the opinion that
tue European war will end in a deadlock owing to the new method of dig
ging in and the powerful implements of war that make a position easy of de
iciL&e. \vclis, of course, is an Englishman but his keen intellect prevents him
iwni being earned away by ideas mat are the offspring of his desires.
Carpenter’s articles have begun in the newspapers outside. In his first
article, which may be read in the Seattle Post Intelligencer of January 2, he
.y, that Alaska has enough ground to give every man, woman and child
m the United States eighteen acres each. There are families in Europe that j
;ivc on two or throe acres—perhaps it should be said. rather, tnat tho^ exist, j
Mr. Carpenter’s articles begin most promisingly. The first one certainly
shows life and the power of quick perception.
The news that Cordova is so busy is and ought to be most welcome to
♦he people all along the ioa»>t. The immense work being done in the copper j
mines portends increased activities in copper in other places and the success
ful operation of the new clam factories is still a more promising fact, for
it is the lesson taught by experience that the establishment of the first plants
of any industry in new countries is slow, like the appearance of the stars at1
night, but. al-o like the stars, the others follow into view in quick succession, j
ALASKA SHOULD HAVE
REGIMENT OF INFANTRY
In the statement of a proper mili
tary policy for the United States,
prepared by the War College Division,
general statf corps, in compliance
with instructions of the Secretary of
War, Alaska is not overlooked. The
statement has been submitted to con
gress. The full report deals with
military preparedness and equipment
as advocated by President Wilson.
Regarding Alaska it says:
**The garrison of Alaska should be
large enough to support the authority
of the United States and, in time of
war to maintain our sovereignty over
a small selected area of the territory.
As work on the Alaska railroad pro
grosses the military needs of Alaska
will increase.
“In time of peace it is believed that
the Alaska garrison should be one
regibent of infantry (1915 officers
and men), to be increased later as
circumstanced demand.”
