VALUE OF ALASKA BIG GAME
Alaska’s big game regions will permit of a thousand
or more big game hunters annually, in the opinion of
Vice-president Evans of the Moline Plow company, who
recently took the limit in trophies on the Kenai peninsula.
In discussing the value of Alaska’s big game as an in
come matter Mr. Evans said that the average hunter
would expend a thousand dollars within the Territory,
which means a million dollars annually to be distributed
between guides, and paid out in license fees, etc.
Mr. Evans pointed out the necessity for comprehen
sive data on big game hunting in Alaska as well as getting
this data into the hands of those interested. He suggest
ed that pamphlets be issued, containing the rules and reg
ulations for hunting, together with suggestions as to out
fits, guns, etc., where and when guides may be secured,
and all plans having to do with a trip to the big game
country.
“My experience in the States,” said Mr. Evans, “was
that every sporting goods store I visited tried to unload
worthless" goods on me. A big game hunter finds himself
loaded up with paraphernalia, guns, etc., that become
a burden and are useless as he discovers when he arrives
in Alaska and gets into the hands of the splendid men who
guide him and help him enjoy his outing. If the informa
tion as suggested is disseminated in the proper centres,
there is no doubt but Alaska will be the most popular big
game region in the world and the Territory will derive
immense benefit from this source of revenue and possibly
aid herself in other developments.”
MINING YS. SPECULATION
Owing to close proximity and influences usually pre
dominant where a boom is on, the Portland Canal coun
try has been made to attract mining investors that might
have entered the business under less tension and excite
ment in other portions of Alaska. Especially is this latter
condition evident with respect to the mineral holdings,,
both lode and placer in Southwestern and Interior Alaska.
Never in the history of mining did better opportunities
present themselves to the promoter and investor. There is
no feverish excitement, although some of the discoveries
and known lodes and placers would have been the signal
for an excited boom in almost any portion of the contin
ent but Alaska. The condition reflects the healthy status
of mining in this portion of the Territory, it having been
reduced to hard, economic usages rather than inflated
speculation. The man who fails to secure a commercial
prospect or a possible big mine these days at figures which
attract, would have to be blind to every precept of mining.
There is need of the connecting link between the
claim owner or prospector and the investor, and they are
invited to the field. But exaggerations such as have been
discovered to prevail in the Portland Canal regional boom
should readily be discountenanced.
Given the attention they deserve, the prospects in
Southwestern Alaska should develop some big mines and
only await necessary capital to accomplish this work.
Gauged by the multiple powers he has delegated to
himself, Mussolini is not a dictator, he is a gang.
