INVITING SETTLERS TO ALASKA
The Wrangell Sentinel sounds a clarion note when it says:
“The Chamber of Commerce members deplore the necessity
for instructing the secretary to discourage all seekers for work
from coming to Alaska. For years it has been the aim of sev
eral Alaska Chambers of Commerce to so advertise the advan
tages and opportunities existing in their communities that set
tlers would be attracted to Alaska; able men willing to work as
well as men with capital to develop our natural resources.”
Canvassing the situation with respect to inviting people to the
Territory one is impressed with the suspicion that the effort to decrj
Alaska as offering nothing for a working man has something more be
hind it than the mere interest in one’s fellow man’s welfare- Any man
■who has the frontier spirit and is willing to hunt his niche, may find
it in Alaska.
This having been proven repeatedly for 30 years, there is a sus
picion that some business men and workers are standing in their own
light through a fear that their own businesses and jobs might be jeop
ardized. To those with no higher ambitions than to conduct a village
business or to hold a hard labor job, this appears a menace. But to
the progressive business man and industrious laborer there is no fear
that competition in either line would be detrimental.
Alaska must have population if it is to succeed. Any steps directed
to securing ,it are worthy if the facts are plainly stated.
The Territory comes nearer at this date with being thrown back
on its own than since its great gold rush. Time will serve to prove if
we are equal to the responsibilities imposed upon us.
Let us have industrious settlers regardless of whether they are mil
lionaires or willing to carve a home from the rough.
If you were a young fellow, ■would you marry a woman 60 years old?
In replying to a questionaire, 90 per cent of the male students of the
University of Oregon said they would—if she had a million dollars.
Dividends paid by mining and smelting companies in the month
of October totaled $8,710,599.
Just suppose all the money gathered by Bishop Cannon and his
cohorts of prohibition and poured into the pockets of the Anti-Saloon
League was in the hands of the Red Cross and charitable associations!
Mining pays a larger proportionate amount of dividends than any
other industry.
People who delight in tracing their ancestry are not so enthusiastic
about the evolution theory.
Who denies that the Bible is authentic? Does it not say: “To him
that hath it shall be given aiid to him who hath not, it shall be taken.”
“I would rather live in a country with newspapers and without a
government than in a country with a government but without news
papers”—Thomas Jefferson.

PUN INSTILLM
SKILL MESH MU
As a result of extensive tests of
their ores with a view to ascertain
how much and why his mill values
did not check with assay returns,
it is the plan of Tom Babcock and
Dave Downey to eventually install
a ball mill capable of reducing the
ore to pass through a 200-mesh
screen.
Mr. Babcock, while having his
tests made in the States, was sur
prised to find ores which had re
turned but $40 a ton to average
$220 under the fine grinding and
recovery process.
The results of the Babcock and
Downey flow sheet test will prove
of inestimable value to many who
have small mills and those who
j contemplate establishment of mills.
| Under these flow sheet tests, not
! only is the full value of the ore
! ascertained, but the correct pro
cess for recovery of every unit of
value possible is supplied.
It is now possible to install pilot
mills which may be added to with
out scrapping the original plant,
thus guarding against heavy losses
in tailing's.
It costs from $300 to $1,000 to se
cure a full flow sheet ,and obtain
the technical direction as to the
best method of treatment.
Many prospects in the vicinity
of Seward which were set down
many years ago as failures because
of the crudity of milling facilities,
in all probabilities may become
consistent producers under proper
j tests of ores and the introduction
i of suitable reduction plants.
