WHY A SAMPLING WORKS
Here’s an Oldtimer’s version of what is wrong
with Central Alaska, the Alaska Railroad and the In
terior.
Now that General Manager Otto F. Ohlson, of the
Alaska Railroad, has started the ball rolling with re
gard to obtaining settlers for this portion of the Ter
ritory, why not at the same time boost for a small
sampling works and smelter which would mean en
ducement to the prospector, the homesteader and the
settler.
By establishing a sampling works on the railroad
belt the prospector can develop and take out ore and
sell it to the sampling works whereby he will get money
to develop whatever prospects he might find. In fact
there are good prospects lying dormant and have been
laying dormant for over 20 years along the railroad
route for want of capital and sampling works
The prospector and his mines on the Pacific Coast,
from Mexico to Canada, is what caused immigration to
flow Westward thereby bringing development and
prosperity to the immigrant and the settler.
This trend of previous events could be repeated
very easily in Alaska.
The Chambers of Commerce of Fairbanks, Anch
orage and Seward should get together with Colonel
Ohlson on the subject of sampling works and a smelter.
Prospectors would again hit for th§ valleys and hills.
Alaska has three resources; furs, fish and mines
and without mines we surely cannot qxpect many set
tlers. This has been the history on the Pacific Slope.
So says “Moose” Johnson, bona fide prospector, and
we agree with him.
A HE MAN LEAVES THE NORTH
Fairbanks has already bid him goodbye; likewise
Anchorage and today, the host of Seward friends of H.
Horn must say farewell; tonight he leaves on the Alaska
for California.
A time of parting is always hard, particularly so
in this case for during Mr. Horn’s five years residence
on the railroad belt, as assistant general manager of
the Alaska Railroad, he has truly endeared himself
into the hearts of scores.
Quiet, unassuming and highly trained, it can be
safely said that without contradiction that Mr. Horn
has made an able executive under three regimes in
charge of the destiny of the government owned railroad;
this fact alone speaks volumes as to his worthiness in
holding his past responsible position.
He has left the service, a recent railroad bulletin
read; that may be true but Mr. Horn will never leave
the service of Alaska for two reasons. First his love
for the Territory and friends up here;— second his
friends will forever recall with pleasure his friend
ship. Friends! The most wonderful gift of man.
This country is full of men who by following the
same regimen and because they possess essential vir
tue, are at the head of its industries. Nearly all of'
them began life as poor boys, but nature-in ad
dition to giving them character, ability and the will
to work-endowed them with the grea gift of per
sonal charm. The combination is irresistible.
Its mighty good to have known such a chap, |
even if we are to lose him; and^these few words are but!
a feeble effort to express our feeling. As to the future,'
we know he will land right-side-up. Goodbye and the |
best of luck to you, Mr. Horn.
Extract from the Seattle P. I.—“When the battle
ship Mississippi weighed anchor and majestically
steamed out of Elliott Bay this morning she carried
one of the most enthusiastic crews in the United States
fleet. Three d*.ys will be spent in Vancouver, B. C. and 1
ditto for Victoria. ”
Hey! Ho! Hard liquor may still be bought up there
in the open, like a man, they say.
