KEEP ON MINING
We shall give the Jersey cow due credit tor the
milk she brings into our midst, and we will extoll the
Alaska spud even to the far corners of the earth, but
right now we are more concerned with the Alaska nug
get and the bars of gold from the mill plates.
Alaska is primarily a mining country. The miner
als are our greatest asset and always will be. No man
can say or even conjecture the wealth that lays in our
mountains and our rolling valleys. A great convulsion
of Nature tossed the veins of minerals up from the sub
terranean vaults and the prehistoric glaciers rubbed
them down to produce the placers. The ice cap left a
large part of the veins in place while feeding the plac
ers. Thus we have placer and hard-rock mining, with
probably the greatest opportunities that exist on earth.
It is encouraging to hear that more prospectors
have gone into the hills than for many years. It sug
gests two or three things.
It means that Alaskans are coming to their senses
again and going to the source that brought Alaska’s
prosperity in the first place. It means that the world
gold hunger has turned to this Territory where gold
can be had for the looking. It means that the old spirit
is by no means dead, altlio some of the brave old boys
have quit these trails for trails to celestial road houses.
Alaska’s mines are her best bet and from latest re
ports from all parts of the Territory they will give an
extraordinary account of themselves in the year 1931.
The many friends in Seward of R. C. Rothenburg
of Fairbanks are sorry to hear he is among the un
successful candidates to the Alaska Legislature. At the
last session of the Territorial legislature his colleag
ues thought so highly of him they selected him as
speaker of the house. One of the best known of the
real oldtimers of the Fourth division, his knowledge of
and ability is unquestioned. We feel a mistake has been
made in not returning this able citizen to the legisla
tive halls.
In every community there are men who have vis
ion and capability; the will to do things. They should
be assisted by others “running interference” to give
them a clear'field. Team work counts in business as
well as football.
