THE GEOLOGICAL REPORT
It is evident that Ralph Tuck, one of the field engi
neers of the Geological Survey, has not yet thoroughly
covered the Moose Pass mining area, judging from his
report to his chief, S. R. Capps, which was published in
Monday’s Gateway over the signature of Dr. Capps.
Mr. Tuck reported “he had seen several veins that
might warrant careful mining on a small scale, but so
far none that would justify large scale development.”
The road departments and mining men of the Moose
Pass region will be amazed when they read the report,
providing they have not already done so. On the strength
of former government reports covering that mining
area and active mining operations there, hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been spent in both road con
struction, reaching the widely scattered districts, and
undoubtedly millions in opening properties which are
working and producing gold today.
It is an old but a particularly trite aphorism that it
is the prospector who makes gold or other ore strikes,
not alleged experts. And in this we do not wish to give
the impression we are taking a slam at the Geological
Survey in any way. We have always numbered them
among our warmest friends, but we do believe the pre
liminary report turned in on Moose Pass, in as much
as it was not complete, might have been softened up a
bit; either that or a brief mention made as in other
camps aong the railroad belt.
It is nothing new to those interested in Moose Pass
mining that there are many small ore properties; it is
also known definitely there are many large properties
worthy of great investment and operation. But appar
ently, the engineer has not had time, as yet, to cover
those. It has been proven conclusively that gold and oil
is where one finds it, and many of these run absolutely
in variance with scientific reports. Further reports from
the Moose Pass will be awaited with eagerness for the
many interested in the Pass country have faith that a
complete reconnaissance will substantiate that faith
which has ever been the incentive for development and
recovery of treasure from the soil.
HEADING FOR THE ROCKS?
We have heard much in recent months about the
condition of Territorial finances. The governor says if
the red pack is up to normal the program, as outlined
in the appropriation bill, can be carried out.
On the other hand other authorities claim the pack
will have to be normal to keep the deficit down to $250,
000, and if the red pack fails there will be an insufficient
amount to pay actual running expenses of the Territor
ial government.
If this latter statement is true the Territory will be
between the devil and the deep, blue sea because the
law provides that no indebtedness can be contracted for
its operation; therefore, more money than is in the
Territorial treasury cannot be spent.
But why ^ bring that up ? Alaskan's will blunder
along some way as in former years.
As another safeguard to aid in preventing the
waters from taking a toll of life, The Gateway suggests
that a life preserver, conveniently located, be placed at
Harriman Lake where, daily, multitudes of people and
especially children sojourn. Wouldn't parents of Sew
ard find solace in the fact that if their child was in dire
straits a life preserver was close at hand?
A physician says a man's health is indicated by
the* length of time he can hold his breath. And'his
wisdom by the length of time he can hold his tongue.

YOUNGER SET GATHER
AT SURPRISE PARTY
“So, this is the party the young
folks of Seward were going to!”
This was the exclamation of
Arne Tollbom last evening as he
walked in through the door of the
Tollbom residence on Third Ave

festive group assembled there
The occasion was a surprise
birthday party given by Arne’s
mother, Mrs John Tollbom, in
honor of her son’s 16th birthday.
Dancing was enjoyed by every
one present for the major part of
the evening. Later, a delicious
luncheon consisting of sandwich
es, cake, ice cream and soft drink
was served.
After wishing Arne many more
happy birthdays of a nature sim
ilar to this one, the guests, num
bering about 30, departed for I
home.
Mrs. H. J. Amend assisted Mrs. j
