THERE IS WORK IN THE VINEYARD
Aside from the elation felt by followers of the suc
cessful political party now ready to take the reins of gov
ernment, the Democratic victory means little to Alaska
m a material sense, unless it is the possibility of granting
a greater measure of home rule and a readjustment of
conservation to meet the needs of the country.
Those staking all upon the possibility of lavish Fed
eral appropriations appear destined to be disappointed.
Economy being the slogan in the nation, Alaska may look
forward, as has always been the case, to the introduction
of retrenchments.
Assuming tnat a greater measure of home rule is
granted, it is natural to speculate upon what will be done
with it. V ith its advent will come greater responsibility,
and the assumption of administration now financed from
the Federal treasury.
With the present sources of income taxed to the lim
it, unless other sources are developed somebody is due to
carry an increased tax burden.
It is well to begin taking stock of where the addition
al revenue may be created. Part of it may come thru the
natural slow growth of population and settlement. But
until payrolls are provided little may be hoped from this
source. A sudden stampede occasioned by a sensational
placer strike would repeat the history of 34 years ago,
and as in those days, mean a drainage from Alaska of
many millions of dollars, leaving little of a permanent
nature behind.
Thus the resource now commanding the greatest at-!
tention and upon which it appears logical to concentratej
all energies is lode mining.
A significant feature of the territorial elections just |
closed serves to support the position. The Lucky Shot pre-1
cinct polled 442 votes. The Lucky Shot embraces the ac-1
tive gold mines in \\ illow Creek. Predictions are that this
figure, representing those engaged in rninng, will be dou
bled next sprng. This is an increase from some 30 or 40
employed in Willow creek two years ago.
And Willow creek is but as a grain of sand in the
number of regions containing rich gold lodes from sur
face. Nor was it brought to its present state of develop
ment on local money; the best it could do was to carry
out the preliminary work showing the possibilities of
gold lodes.
This is as fir as local capital can venture in bring
ing the gold mines into action. The big problem is some
thing for big capital to handle.
Just suppose the $q,000 voted for the All-Alaska
Chamber of Commerce by the last Legislature had been
given to some good advertising agency for compiling
the lode resources adjacent to every town in Alaska, and
presenting them to the investing mining world!
Herein lies the key to Alaska’s problem. The Terri
tory collectively and severally must emulate other re
gions and get it? wares into the hands of salesmen and
thereby presented to the world.
Ten good years have been wasted in nursing Federal
appropriations. They are practically nil at this moment.
It about time to try other remedies. Mere political
shifts will not suffice.
If we get home rule, what are wTe going to do with it?
If nothing else, the tie-hackers should be paid for the
miles of roads they have builded, many of which form
good trails through rough country.

WORLD CRUISE iN
II 32-FOOT VESSEL
WILL STURT SESTTLE
On a vagabond cruise around the
world with visits to strange lands
and strange peoples, to quaint vil
lages that dot the shores of the
Mediterranean and to the palm
fringed islands of the South Pacif
ic, two young men and their wives
will sail from Seattle in a sturdy
32-foot cutter-rigged vessel.
They are Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Haines of Seattle and Mr. and Mrs
Charles M. Tuckett of Juneau, Al
aska.
Mr. Haines, a motorboat enthus
iast and a lover of adventure, has
made several long vagabond cruis
es. all of which have been attended
by the element of danger.
Mr. Tuckett is a moving picture
operator of Juneau. He will take
equipment wiht him for both mov
ing and still films during the cruise
around the world.
The little double-ender in which
the long cruise will be made, will be
of the type of pilot boats used off
the stormy coast of Norway. She
will be a sturdy craft 32 feet over
all, 11 feet beam and 5.6 feet draft.
The vessel will carry 650 feet of
canvas, a 5,000-pound iron keel as
ballast and will be equipped with a
15-horsepower auxiliary engine for
use in going in and out of harbors.
There will be a private stateroom,
a main saloon, a galley and tanks
capable of carrying a large gas and
w'ater supply.
Mrs. Lum See, Indian, 35 years
old, died at Juneau of pneumonia.
Her home was in the Indian quar
ter of Willoughby Ave. She is sur
vived by her husband, a Chinese,
and seven children.

Jack Shropshire, Odergaard and
Ross and Jack Wolf have been op
erating on Moose creek this sum
mer and did well. Gragen & Co.
also worked on Moose creek this
summer, but their operations prov
' ed unsatisfactory and they have
sold their plant to the owners of
the ground on which they worked.
The owners will no doubt continue
working this claim.
Peter Brevik, well known mining
man, known as “the flying pros
pector,” and Mrs. Ruth Schramm,
both long-time residents of Juneau
and Douglas, were married recent
ly. Mr. and Mrs. Brevik flew in the
airplane “Chichagoff” to Lisianski,
where they will live for some time,
Mr. Brevik being interested in min
ing there.
