COMBINING BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE
Many urban residents accustomed to hiking in the
hills in search of a change of scenery are now combining
business with pleasure, by taking along a prospecting
pick instead of an alpinestock.
One of the fascinations about prospecting is the un
known quantity, like hunting eggs in jthe hay mow or
bird’s nest.
Equipment for prospecting on such outings is simple.
All that is required is a magnifying glass, a prospecting
pick and a small egg-fry pan, all of which weighs little.
The prospecting pick, with long handle, assiqts as a walk
ing stick and weapon if a bear is encountered.
The man or woman who seeks primitive nature there
by displays an interest in its marvels. They do not begin
to understand Nature’s wonders ur;til they begin to ab
sorb a measure of knowledge of geology—how the earth
is made and the marvelous phenomena in the process.
Here is knowledge, recreation and perhaps fortune
all rolled into one and the zest of prying into hidden plac
es in unearthing nature’s charms and treasures.
To produce the phychology of the soil Denmark set
her poets to writing songs and poems exalting the majes
ty of the agricultural producer and thereby lifted the na
tion from bankruptcy to one of the richest in the entire
world. Alaska has as many poets as it possesses mosqui
toes. Instead of shooting them they should be organized
into prospector laureates.
These items are taken from the
various papers of the Territory.
To investigate all matters i n
connection with Alaska Indians,
on representations of Delegate J.
Wickersham, a sub-committee of
six members has been appointed by
Congress and will visit Alaska next
year. The committee comprises
Robert S. Hall of Mississippi, who
ic chairman; Wm. I. Sirovich of
New York, Dennis Chaves of New;
Mexico, Democrats; Wm. William- j
son of South Dakota, Scott Leavitt
of Montana and Frederick C. Loof
