Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized. •
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

New Department Be Clearing House
for Bringing Capital Into Touch
With Claim Owners
Armed with copious data on the
mineral resources along The Alaska
Railroad, H. G. Ilderton, commercial
and industrial agent, sailed south on
the S. S. Watson. Mr. Ilderton’s mis
sion to the States is for the purpose
of laying his data before commercial
and other bodies and launch a cam
paign for securing investment in the
mines in the Central Western and
Southwestern portion of Alaska and
the big placer regions of the Yukon
country.
During the past summer Mr. Ilder
ton made many journeys to the min
ing regions and gathered data calcu
lated to impress the investor abroad.
In many instances he was assisted
by the engineers of the Bureau of
Mines, whose geological reports •will
serve as the groundwork for the eco
nomical data Mr. Ilderton will offer
investorj in substantiation of his
claim that Alaska is the most invit
ing field for investment in America.
While not all regions have been ful
ly covered, Mr. Ilderton believes he
has sufficient data to interest capital
and once a movement is started in
the direction of the district influenced
by the railroad, he expects to see big
things develop.
r\CpurL5> MI C VVdMLCU
The industrial department is a new
thing for the railroad, but, says Mr.
Ilderton, it will become the connect
/
ing link between investors, mine own
ers and prospectors. In order to com
plete the work it is desired that all
prospect owners supply the Industrial
department, Alask Railroad, with re
ports showing the nature of their
prospect, and containing answers to
all questions an investor might ask
with respect to location, accessibility,
iind of mineral, area held, assay
values taken for mill run sample, and
act the many things which enter into
nine operation and development. If
here are Geological Survey bulletins
covering the region, it is desired that
'eference be made to these.
Reference for Prospectors
It is planned to have a member of
he Bureau of Mines visit all pros
)ects where request is made for ex
imination, and the findings will be
ivailable as reference for the pros
>ect owner in case of desiring to sell.
Mr. Ilderton says he does not ex
>ect the average prospector to turn
n a complete report, but that any
hing which will serve to describe the
)rospect will suffice until an engi
leer can complete the work.
