APPROACHING NORMALCY
We have come to accept the term “normalcy” as ap
plying, in a comparative sense, to conditions as they ex
isted prior to the toppling over of the great pyramids
built up by men who had nothing beyond the dollar mark
by which to guage the nation’s greatness.
Nothing like this has returned in the guise of nor
malcy, but we have approached nearer to a national
ideal of normalcy in its broadest terms.
Whenever a nation accepts a leadership, endows it
with confidence and the public readily adopts its stan
dard as their own and begin to use it as a guage for so
cial as well as political activities, it approaches nearest
to the ideal of normalcy.
The confidence has been displayed in the alacrity
with which possessors of large hoards of gold and gold
supported currency hastened to turn their money into the
life-stream of the nation’s finances, trusting solely to the
word and honor of a great president to safeguard it from
loss.
Emulation of the virtues and customs of this leader
ship is shown in the resurrection of the symbol held up
to youth as the most exalted goal to be achieved, and the j
quick response it has met among the many thousands of!
youth who had come to believe that an eclipse had come i
over all which we once held to be sacred in national tra-1
ditions.
We read where a mere choice of a gown by Mrs. j
Roosevelt for the inaugural ball wrested American fash-1
ion from the grip of Paris and transplanted its leader-j
ship to the White House. This in itself appears insignifi-j
cant on its face, but a little analysis will reveal what it!
means in a social and economic sense. Mrs. Roosevelt |
chose a blue gown. Instantly Alaska blue and white fox i
felt the stimulus in the fur markets, because the first |
was the choice of the first lady of the land, and because1
the rank and file will be permitted to approach the style •
thus set by purchasing dyed white fox, an almost indis- j
tinguishable substitute.
Thus almost overnight the nation swung from de
pendence upon Europe for stvles both in raiment and;
morals to national symbolic individuality.
It would be a sad day for America when anarchy;
of tastes and virtues supplanted recognition of the higher
qualities of the great as a national standard. During the
past decade these qualities, at time, threatened to ex
tinction. but as is always the case in face of a great
crisis, the cardinal virtues have been re-enthroned and
with them has come a brighter perspective and the cour
age needed to reinstate the nation to its pristine glory.
Not losing sight of the fact that national emblem-j
aiic leadership hinges upon the quality of this leadership,
it becomes the °reatest medium of expression of the
public in its relationship, one with with another and be
tween nations. This is clearly shown by expressions by
leading European governments within the past several
days pledging confidence in America’s ability to set her
house in order and give inspiration to other nations in the
process.
And all because of the ability of a great man to put
into action his own and the ideas of leading thinkers
of the nation and choosing the best from an overwhelm
ing mass of conflicting opinions.

NABESNA MINE IS
BEING OPERATED
ON LARGE SCALE
! -
j Extremely satisfactory progress is
i being made in the operation of
the Nabesna mining property and
an ambitious building program is
being completed on the property,
according to the Cordova Times.
The building pflogram included
a 36x40 mill addition, a large bunk
house and a mess house. Each of
these buildings are 16x40 feet. A
new and larger assay office has
been built as well as a garage and
machine shop and warehouse. The
buildings are nearly all of logs,
i squared on three sides and cut in
| the company’s sawmill.
The big new diesel engine sup
plies an abundance of power for
all operations and keeps the mill
machinery going continuously all
day. The Kraut flotation plant, al
so installed this Spring, has been
nothing but successful and has add
ed tremendously to the mine’s re
venue by extracting gold from the
huge pile of tailings which are
run through the plant along with
the regular output from the big ball
mill. About 40 or 60 tons of these
tailings are treated daily.
There are 30 men employed at
the mine itself while three others
are kept busy every day freighting
supplies to the end of the road
and from there to the mine by
tractor. Both mine and mill are
operated 24 hours a day.
The truck road is completed for
70 miles, or to within about 30
miles of the mine, and, accord
ing to present plans, a heavily load
ed truck will be able to drive dir
ecty to the mine this Fall after
the ground has been subject to one
or two freezing spells.
