GREEN PASTURES NOT ALL FAR AWAY
There is an abiding conviction in Seward that the
tourist traffic is a passing one and that travel
ers will not drop a dollar or two here as they are hur
ried on to other sights and stops. For the most part that
is true because they are signed up at Outside cities where
their itinerary is laid out and to which they must ad
here after they begin their northern journey.
As far as Seward is concerned that should all be
changed and very quickly in view of the fact that addi
tional hundreds of tourists will be added to the traveling
list each year from the incontestible testimony of travel
ers who have paused long enough to speak appreciation
of Alaska.
Seward should have a tourist booking agency of hei
own. Instead of travelers shooting by with a “Howdy
Do” they should be booked here as their available head
quarters for within a radius of less than 100 miles. Sew
ard has available some of the finest scenery, rivers, gla
- ' s, island-studded lakes, fishing and hunting to hr
found anywhere in the world.
WHEN THE NORTH. WIND BLOWS
We hate to admit it but careless and hateful thought?
do exist. When the North Wind blows it seems to say
'*What’s wrong here?’’ It comes down so cold and cleai
and asks the Question and passes on jostling the tree?
and glaciers and gives a friendly nudge even to the pon
derer wondering what its all about.
Correct this sentence: “Mv opponent and his support
ers are conflicting ‘a very fair and honorable campaign.’
The nomads of the North are now southbound foi
to spend their hard-earned summer’s stake.

C. B. MILLETT BACK FROM CON- |
FEREStNCE WITH CAPITAL- j
ISTS GREAT PROSPECTS
“One hundred miles of railroad -
I will open up the biggest copper ter- j
j ritory of the North and one of the j
biggest of the world,” said O. B. j
; Millett who owns property on Ili
| amna Lake and who has just come
back to Seward after a sojourn in I
the States. He has ucceeded in in
teresting New York capital to the
j extent that they will send engin
j eers n^rc shortly to inspect the dis
I trict.
|
j “There are three big properties,
! all patented,” said Millett. “The
| Dutton ground shows a deposit 75
i feet wide and two miles long. Sue
I A. Mason of San Francisco is the
chief owner in this property. The
Kasna Creek ground, owned by R.
M. Edwards of Houghton, Mich.,
shows a copper vein 600 feet wide
and 11 claims long. My own ground
1 has a deposit 50 feet wide which
has been demonstrated along the
surface for 3500 feet.
“My ground goes three percent
copper, about $1.00 in gold and an
ounce of silver. It can be open cut
and steam shoveled into cars. The
Kasna ground varies from one and
one-half to seven percent copper
about $1.50 in gold and several
ounces in silver. There is unlimiit
ed water power and the whole pro
position is big enough to justify a
railroad and steamship line which
it seems must eventually come.”
