. MEDICAL SERVICE
MAT BE EXTENDED
OTHER DEPARTMENTS j
A bill had been introduced in
the second session of the last Con
gress to extend the facilities of the
Public Health Service to seamen on
government vessels not in military
or naval establishments. But like
^ many other bills this one failed of
passage and inquiry now comes as
to whether the present Delegate
from Alaska, James Wickersham,
intends to introduce the measure
after Congress- convenes in Decem
ber, which of course he will do. The
previous bill had been commended
by Secretary Mellon, who wrote:
“By special acts the personnel
employed on board vessels of the
Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic
Survey, Bureau of Lighthouses, Bur
eau of Fisheries, and those belong
ing to the Engineer Corps of the
U. S. Army, are entitled to treat
ment by the Public Health Ser
9 vice, but there are a few vessels
such, for instance, as those belong
ing to the Bureau of Education,
Forest Service, and Department of
Justice, whose personnel is not en
titled to treatment and who, as a
matter of convenience to the gov
ernment and also one of equity,
should be included among the bene
ficiaries. The additional cost will
probably be insignificant.”

EASY REGION TO PROSPECT IN;
appears to be well
mineralized
Two weeks in the Nuka Bay gold
camp district, 60 miles southwest
of Seward, lias convinced Earl
Pilgrim, special field engineer of
the Bureau of Mines, of the Ter
ritory, that that area is very well
mineralized and undoubtedly there
are a great number of gold veins
in the region and many more to
be found.
Mr. Pilgrim visited every pros
pect and mine in the Nuka Bay
region and said a promising num
ber are being developed at pres
ent; one thing struck him forci
bly, that of an easy field in which
to prospect because of the light
over-burden and in many places,
especially along the shore-line,
outcroppings are exposed and in
many instances visible from the
water.
There are many items in favor
of the development of the Nuka
Bay field, he added; namely,
cheap water transportation, ample
timber throughout the country and
especially the available water for
power.
Touching briefly on the Bab
cock & Downey mine, Mr. Pilgrim
summed activities there in one
sentence: “The property in gen
eral looks very well.”
Babcock & Downey, he said,
have accomplished a large amount
of work, but he could see they were
handicapped by lack of finance.
The fact that they have now
placed the property on its present
footing is not due entirely to good
ore but hard work along with it.
He added that the Pelton wheel
is now supplying power for the
mill.
Mr. Pilgrim’s conservative state
ments are heartening to the many
who have invested and carried
forward developments in that dis
trict. Prior to coming to Alaska
some years ago, Mr. Pilgrim was
associated with several mining
concerns in the States, two of
which were the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan Mining & Smelting Co.,
of Kellogg, Idaho, and the Yellow
Pine Mining Co., at Goodsprings,
Nev. His first four years in Al
aska were spent as a member of
the faculty of the Alaska College,
in charge of the mining depart
ment.
He is now operating the News
boy Mine, in the Fairbanks dis
trict, which, until last season, had
been shut down since 1913. His
present work for the Territory is
special assignments to carry on
examinations of mineralized zones.
Mr. Pilgrim goes South on the
SS Aleutian and while in the city
is a guest at the Van Gilder Ho
tel.
