BRIGHT AUGURIES FOR 1931
Now that the shortest day has past and we stand
upon the threshold of the year 1931, we begin to look
forward to spring and it is pleasant to contemplate;
some of the things the next few months wid bring to
our home town, besides buttercups and daisies.
Consider the number of new activities that will get
underway and the number of men who will be employ
ed in and near Seward. Making a rough estimate our
guess is something like this:
Thirty men at least will be working on the Seward
breakwater and perhaps 10 more will be employed in
the construction of Resurrection River bridge about
two miles north of the city. The Bureau of Public
Roads will have about 50 or 60 men on new construct
ion on the Quartz Creek road that will connect up the
magnificent Moose Pass Highway with lower Kenai
Lake and Russian River. About 10 men will be on the
regular maintenance work on the Moose Pass High
way and perhaps another 40 men on the reconditioning <
and widening of the first eight miles which work began ;
last summer. Nothing authentic is known regarding
the “Missing Link” section of 11 miles which will con
nect the Seward-Kenai Lake Highway with Moose
Pass, but in view of the fact Congress has provided lib- <
erally for a great program of road work, it is quite pos
sible that this job. on which survey was made last fall;
if constructed, another large crew would be on this job. j
There has also been some talk of doing some long hoped
for work on the Nash road. i
There is possibility of a new coal dock; also an ex
tension to the Seward dock; both of these projects will
employ many men. A marine ways is almost a certain- ,
tv. Added to these items will be the regolar seasonal ,
activities such as local construction, repairs and ini- ;
provements to buildings and homes besides the numer
oos other kinds of work which are continually going on.
Summed up this wav, who can doubt but what the |
future of Seward, and its environs, is most healthy.
WHERE IT COUNTS
Alaska is fortunate in having a man like Ernest >
Walker Sawyer down at Washington putting over
good publicity for Alaska. He has been boosting this
Territory ever since he first looked us over. His posi
tion as assistant to the Secretary of the Interior gives
his words force and effect.
If he will only sign up we’ll back him for governor
or delegate to Congress. This Territory needs more men j
like him.
In a recent article appearing in the Anchorage 1
Times to which city the local headquarters of the Sig
nal Corps is transferring its activities owing to alleged
poor reception in Seward, it is interesting to note a let
ter has been addressed to the city council urging an or
dinance regulating interference.
A real executive is one who can handle people who
are smarter than he is.

TONOPAH, Nev., Jan., 2, —
Report of a rich gold strike with
pannings that averaged better |
than $100 a ton, is attracting
prospectors to the Grapevine I
range, at a point about 20 miles j
east of Scotty’s.
The discovery made by an In
dian, is said to give indications
of a substantial orebody being
developed with further work
done. The strike, made a few
weeks ago, attracted a repre
sentative of West Virginia capi
tal, and it is reported that Geo.
Barra, formerly of Tonopah, now
owner of the property, has let
an option with a payment due |
this month
The country surrounding the1
Barra holdings has been located
for some distance and claim |
owners are devoting their time j
to prospecting, with the hope of j
uncovering other veins.
