MAKING SEWARD KNOWN ABROAD
Again it falls to the lot of Seward to uphold the Territory’s dignity
and reputation abroad. Seward High School won the All-American hon
ors in the journalistic section of the National High School Awards for
the year 1930-31. The American Honors division denotes the highest
rating in journalism, which any school can receive.
In addition to this distinction, Seward High School won awards in
four contests. Edwin Sandbeck, sophomore, won an honorable mention
certificate for his interview with Father Hubbard; Sylvia Sandbeck, a
freshman, was awarded the same for her news story on the Freshman
Initiation, as was also Eva Oiaowsine, junior, for a feature story,
Christmas Among the Eskimos." and Lois Beaudreau, freshman, for a
•cartoon, "Three Little Words.”
These results are directly traceable to Edwin Sandbeck member of
the mechanical and reportorial staff of The Gateway and shows what
may be accomplished by any youth who applies diligence to his labors
and takes advantage of every opportunity to progress.
The Chinese employ objects and animals instead of figures for cal
culations. Hence the report of General Sling-Japs-High: "We drove
the enemy back two elephants, three jackasses and one tomcat,” or
twenty-three and a half miles.
Since the Newfoundlanders beat up their Premier over a matter of
increasing the dole from $1.60 to $2.00, it is tragic to think what would
have happened to him if they had demanded $8.00.
The most outstanding result of mass production has been to pro
duce an oversupply of depression.
An Aleutian Island woman’s speech was restored by an insect sting.
A political bug is effective in increasing speech, too.
Why not turn the question of balancing the budget over to the
prohibitionists?
At least there: is one virtue in the hoarding craze. Friend wife will
lay off friend husband’s pockets while he’s asleep.
Why give Alaska back to Russia when two-thirds of us are al
ready bolshevik.

MINE NEDP HIDED
D. L. Pitt, the man who opened
the Premier mine 12 V2 years ago
and from which $42,000,000 has
since been taken out, was a recent
Ketchikan visitor from Hyder, re
ports the Ketchikan Chronicle.
Mr. Pitt, the general manager in 1
[charge since the mine began op
eration under the corporation
known as the Premier Gold Mining
Company, Ltd., controlled by the
American Smelting & Refining
Company, reports that the mine
during the 12 years has paid $16,
000,000 in dividends.
It is capitalized for $5,000,000
with share of stock at $1 par value.
The $16,009,000* paid in dividends
tells the story of the big returns
made on the original investment.
The investment at the present time
is valued at approximately $2,000,
000. In spite of the reduction in
I the price of silver, the mine’s divi
I dends, Mr. Pitt says, have been
j paid at the rate of 12 cents a year
j for the past few years.
At the present time, there is a
I normal winter force employed,
about 300 men, who are mining
some 800 tons of ore per day. Of
this, a total of 500 tons is concen
trated through the mill operated by
the company on the grounds and
about 300 tons is shipped crude to
the smelters at Tacoma and Anyox.
From the mill about 50 tons per
day of concentrate is secured.
The ore yields about 70 per cent
of its values in gold and 30 per
cent in silver.
The ore and concentrate for ship
| ment to the smelters are transport
ed over an aerial tramway a dis
tance of IV/z miles to tidewater.
The Premier mine is about 12;
miles from Hyder, Alaska, and is
situated in Canada, almost on the
international boundary.
SUBSCRIBER SAYS:
"The Gateway is the only pro
gressive paper of any account in
Alaska and should be more widely
read.”

ORDINANCE APPROVED
An ordinance, intended to safe
guard the health of Anchorage,
which has been under considera
tion by the Anchorage City Coun
cil during the last several weeks,
was taken up for final reading at
the regular meeting of the alder
men last week, and unanimously
approved, according to the Anchor
age Times. The new regulations,
it is believed, will enable the city
to take prompt action in the future
to prevent the spread of contag
ious diseases.
SUBSCRIBER SAYS:
"... I am in sympathy with
most of your editorials and have
enjoyed reading them very much.
But how can you manage to pub
lish two such fine papers and have
no enemies? You always have
something good to say about a man
even if he is considered to be down
and out.”
