WE LEAD, OTHERS FOLLOW
One of the most refreshing auguries for a tremen
dous rejuvenation of the entire Territory is offered in
the campaign of the entire press of Alaska and the na
tion seeking to divert interest from distant futures to
the present importance of gold mining.
Thus The Gateway beholds its primary policy not
only vindicated but standing at the head of the proces
sion sustained and given momentum by a unit of thought
and action. " $
With tne U. S. Geological Survey officially announc
ing that there are lodes and placers with a potential val
ue of a half-bill:on dollars yet to be exploited it now re- j
mains for the machinery to be set into motion that will j
make this wealth available to the nation.
It will require both capital and energy to accomplish j
this. A proper campaign backed by general action, will1
supply both.
Gold mining must be presented to the world shorn
of romance and dreams and reduced to the standard of
every other line of business:—Natural supply, cost of
manufacture and scientific direction. Once this idea
takes hold, Alaska not only holds promise of enjoying;
the greatest prosperity in its history, but will lead^ the I
nation in point of contribution to the forces which will!
resurrect it from the slough of despondency and place |
it on the road to complete recovery.
The half-billion dollar store of virgin wealth—aye I
primary wealth—of Alaska is but a tithe, if exploration j
were carried to its fullness.
The most alluring element in this outlook is the fact
that every able-bodied man may share in this wealth ac
cording to his energies and talents. It is here in the hills
and creeks only awaiting the application of labor and
common sens*- in its recovery.

U. S. gave Insull the well-known “bum’s rush,” then
dared him to come back. Just another “goat” for some
one higher up. A hue business was good and dividends
paid, he was a genius, but when the reverse came, he was
a crook who deliberately wrecked his once rich firm.

“COME NORTH AGAIN CAP!”
Capt. Ralph R. Guthrie, one of
the finest officers ever to have
been stationed in Alaska with the;
Signal Corps, particularly in Sew- j
ard, who, a few years back was
transferred to the Presidio, thence i
to Barksdale Field, Louisiana, has
again changed his habitat. The
Captain and charming Mrs. Guth
rie are now located at Fort Davis,
Canal Zone, Panama. Their many
friends in the North hope their
next transfer will be back to Alas
ka. They resided her just long
enough to be “sold.”
Arthur G. Dickinson, 54 years
old, former Alaska sourdough, died
at an Auburn, Wash., hospital of
pneumonia. He has been living
at Des Moine. Wash., having re
turned to the States after conduct
ing a restaurant in Anchorage for
many years. He is survived by his
widow, Mi's. Helen Dickinson, and
two brothers, E. G. and R. E. Dick
inson. He was a member of the
Eagles.
