A NEEDED STATUTE
While the statutes provide that where there is no or
ganized recording precinct miners may choose an emer
gency recorder, there is need for further enabling legis
lation whereby this emergency may be met in regularly
organized precincts, and where the distance is so far re
moved from the recording office to warrant application
It often occurs that prospectors find themselves a1
great distance from the recorder’s office or separated bj
rough terrain, including glaciers and turbulent streams
entailing difficult travel consuming days. Again, to leave
the scene of activity and journey to the recorder’s office
means sacrificing valuable time if not actually losing an
entire season, and in the final analysis entailing burden
some costs.
A simple amendment providing that where five oi
more prospectors are gathered in any distant portion oi
an organized recording precinct they* may name one oi
their number an emergency recorder, file their record
with him, together with the fees, and it would act with
the same force and effect as if the recording was done as
novr, by a United States Commissioner, these records to
be delivered to the regularly constituted recorder within
six months of the date of emergency recording.
Thus prospectors are enabled to comply with the law
respecting recording and to be protected against con
flicts and legal entanglements by having the unscrupu
lous precede them to the recorder’s office and cloud titles,
Anything resembling a stampede would be the signal
for this time-honored method of despoiling the bona fide
prospector, as was the case in the earlier days of gold
excitement.
BUSINESS PULSE GAINING STRENGTH
The sources of power in Washington to which the
people are accustomed to look for guidance and action
have not been idle of late, so far as efforts to rehabilitate
business and keep things going generally are concerned.
It is proposed to loan money to banks and similar in
stitutions at a rate of interest which will enable them to
lend it out again, still at a reasonable percent, to concerns
which will obligate themselves to use it in a bona fide at
tempt to build up business and to add names to their pay
rolls. Depositors in closed banks will also be relieved.
The re-financing of mortgages on farm property
may not have gone forward as rapidly as some had hop
ed, but this has been due to the difficulty in finding ex
perienced help to carry on the somewhat technical task
that is involved. This short-coming in the operation of
the re-financing plan has been remedied.
The activity of the Federal Reserve in purchasing
government bonds with its available funds is more mark
ed, and money will be put in circulation accordingly. The
foregoing are cited merely as examples of what is being
done, and constitute by no means a complete summary
of what has brought to pass in the way of facilitating
recovery.
Conditions undeniably have improved. Of this there
are many evidences, not the least significant of which is
the decrease of business failures. For instance, the num
ber of failures lately reported for a single week amount
ed to approximately half as many as were reported for
the corresponding week in 1932, and to about that per
cent of the number that appear on the records for 1931.
The business pulse seems to be beating more strong
ly and with more regularity, and it is safe to assume
that there mav be merit in the suggestion that all that is
required is a little more patience.
An old miner has discovered a cave in the Painted
Hills of Nevada, the walls of which are composed of ore
that will assay about a thousand dollars to the ton. The
N. R. A. is working well. Even Nature cannot hoard hei
gold.
While the diplomats are pouring oil on the troublec
waters, Alaska rivers and creeks have been pouring wat
er into “long-toms.”
This is Alaska’s Gold Opportunity.
Yes, Maude, rolled, oats is something you boil 20 min
utes to cook and spend 20 hours trying to scrape out th<
boiler.
A poke in the pocket is better than a poke in the nose.

HOPE TOMATO

j
j A crop of tomatoes which would
' j turn a Washington State red to
i mato green with envy, was harvest
ed this season by Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Roll at Hope.
A sample of the crop, a great big
■ ripened tomato about the size of a
. baseball, was received by The Gate
way but, like all good things, has
since vanished—into a salad.
The outdoor Alaska-grown crop
• unquestionably is vastly superior to
. the improted product,; firm and
; luscious, the crop is indicative
. of what agriculturists can!do in
this section of Alaska.
Bumper crops of splendid eating
1 apples were also grown at Hope
i this summer by Mr. Roll and Mr.
Carson'
