MINING INTERESTS REVIVING
<
As evidence that mining throughout all Alaska is
on the upgrade after many years of mediocre activity
and that the Moose Pass-Hope-Sunrise district has at
tracted the eyes of mining men in the States, the news
of the sale of the Mike Donnelly property—580 acres of
placer ground at Sunrise—has tended to eject consid
erable encouragement and enthusiasm to the old and
new-oldtimers in this great area of the Territory.
The recent visit here of W. A. Preston, Seattle min
ing man who, with his associates, took over Mr. Con
nelly's claims last week, appears to be the forerunner
of intense development of that property in the very near
future. Mr. Preston said one of the most model camps
in the country will be established there and that the
equipment will be modern in every respect; that 25 or 30
men would probably be employed on the ground next
season.
But to Mike Connelly, one of the best known and
liked oldtimers in this region, it seems that the confi
dence, and goal, of 35 years has been both sustained and
attained; for that long period the Sourdough has had
faith, confidence in his holdings and now, through a re
port of Mr. Preston's personal engineer and, it is said,
one of the Geological Survey mineral experts, his confi
dence and faith has been realized.
The host of friends and acquaitances of Mr. Con
nelly—he prefers to be called Mike—we can safely say,
are perhaps just as delighted as he is and that a just
reward is now within his grasp. Money means nothing
to Mike; it’s the fun of the game, and when asked if he
would go Outside, he replied: “Not by a long shot! Al
aska is my home and here I will stay and prospect some
more.”
COME NORTH, FIRE CHIEFS!
Fireman, fireman, save my child!
In the good old days of melodrama, such was the
clarion cry resounding from the accoustics of the old
opera houses.
But the cry from Alaska to the fire chiefs of the
Pacific Coast is one of invitation; an invitation to make
Anchorage the 1932 convention city for the “fire-eaters.”
The Anchorage fire department has asked The Gate
way and various chambers of commerce throughout the
Territory to assist them in enticing Pacific Coast fire
chiefs to convene up here for a change, not because they
may be cooled off sooner—perish the thought—but be
cause Anchorage and Alaska wants the opportunity to
grasp them by the hand and say: “Hello, Oldtimer!”
The fire chiefs had thought of going to Miami—no
that’s wrong—to the land of Hula Hula, Honolulu, this
year, but hte agricultural bureau reports to the effect
the island grasses grew to wondrous lengths this sea
son, made the lads change their minds and now they
will meet in San Diego from September 4 to 8. Should
sufficient high pressure from Alaska nozzles penetrate
that meeting next month, there is an excellent chance
the fire chiefs may decide to come North and after the
convention, perhaps, take a little hunt or a real fishing
trip for themselves.
Anybody can go to Honolulu but not so, to Alaska.
“The editor of The Gateway runs wild,” recently said
an alleged Alaska banker. From the ranks of the Alas
ka bureaucrats comes word that The Gateway has a
nasty Way of saying things. From the sources they
originated we consider them compliments. As if we
give a whoop whether they like our stuff or not! !

Campbell Church, who operates
a fleet of yachts out of Ketchikan,
says that business is much better
this year than it was last year. He
said the seven yachts which he
has been using have been under
charter on an average of about
three and a half months for each
craft, with a total of 10 or 15 per
sons carried aboard of each boat,
including the guests and mem
bers of the crews, according to
the Ketchikan Chronicle.
“The fleet is nearly double this
year what it was last year,” he
said. “I expect business will be
better next year. A charter for
three months next year has been
closed on the Westward.
“We are concentrating our ef
forts on Southeastern Alaska.
Scenery cannot be excelled; fish
ing and hunting are the best; wa
ters are sheltered in this section.
We are gradually making Ketchi
kan our home port, and it is our
intention to have our charters be
gin and end either there or at
Prince Rupert.
“We have only two charters to
the Westward this year. Two of
the boats will take game hunters
to Kenai in the fall.
“Our captains and crews are re
cruited as far as possible from
among Alaska residents. Many of
them are iicensed guides and nat
urally we like to have as many
as possible thoroughly familiar
with northern waters and other
northern conditions.
“Our chartering business was
started in 1924 when George East
man, of Kodak fame, took the
yacht Westward for a cruise in
Southeastern Alaska waters. He
sailed that year on July 10, the
70th anniversary of his birth. He
has since made three cruises in
our yachts in these waters.”
