1LIAMNA MINERALS
That trend of prospectors into the Iliamna country
looks mighty good to us and to borrow a phrase from our
good friend 0. B. Millett, it was inevitable.
Millett has been camping over there on his copper
claims for years and swears by the Holy Pink-toed
Prophet that they are the greatest deposits of copper
in Alaska, bar none.
It has not taken any super-student of mining or
commerce or world affairs to phrophecy that copper
would go up when it was generally known that the de
mand for copper was steadily increasing and that the
uncovering of available deposits has not kept pace- It
may even be prophesied that copper will never again be
as low as it has been.
If we are right in this premise, Iliamna has a glor
ious future ahead of her. It will take big capital for de
velopment and production but there is always plenty of
that when the world expresses a need.
Iliamna has gold and other minerals besides copper.
She is blessed with a wealth of water power and timber,
and her transportation problems will rapidly work
themselves out as development starts. As to what it
will all mean to Seward, let your imagination write its
own ticket.,
WHAT KIND OF ROCK DO THEY WANT?
Ten thousand prospectors and mining men would
stampede to the camp over night if $400 and $500 per
ton ore, such as has been taken out of Nuka Bay, was
isdcovered any place in Nevada, remarked 9 conservative
mining man in Seward the other day. So again we won
der, what’s the matter with Alaska? Do mining men
prefer to work low-grade ores in the States rather than
fabulously rich jewelry rock in the North. It appeared
so. In any case they can’t keep a good camp down and
one of these days Nuka Bay will come into its own.

With the arrival of Superintendent Roaney of the
Seward School it won’t be long now before readin’ writ
