KNOCKING THE KNOCKER
Speaking frank1' \t must be a terrible siuation for
the few knocKers of u Nuka Bay quartz mining dis
trict, to witness the sad spectacle of the camp forging
ahead regardless of, as we said, the few knockers knocks.
The continuous stream of supplies, equipment and
machinery flowing into the camp, must be a bitter pill
for them to swallow, even though they have not a thin
dime invested down there; and in all probability, no
place else. Yet they persist in using “ye olde hammer” at
every opportunity. The reason? Why, none what ever!
In the most part they do the talking while the busy man
does the work and progresses.
Too bad we had to use that much space in speaking
of the forked-tongue brethren who deliberately endeavor
to set themselves up as authorities on every matter which
does not meet with their approval. Nothing ever does un
less it orginated in their “fertilizer brain.” The reason
for this editorial today is because yesterday we pegged
a new member of this tribe.
Thank goodness we have arrayed against this class
a group of men most of whom do little talking as to what1
they have invested, the enthusiasm they feel, the confi-;
dence they, and the hopes they hold, but go forward
steadily. This is the type of men found today who are 1
putting up real cash—not talk—in an endeavor to bring !
forth the treasures of the earth which, if won, they are
entitled to four-fold and more.
Every man expects to be knocked to a certain degree;
that effects him personally. Bue when the “anvil chorus”
begins knocking our resources, it effects the whole of
Alaska for what is good for one part of the Territory is i
good for all the rest of the country.
