WILL REVOLUTIONIZE MINING ACTIVITY t
-- ji
With the exclusive rights to processing ore for the j<
recovery of all values chemically pure, W. E. O’Malley, *
enterprising young mining engineer who has been study- j*
ing the mining situation along the Alaska Railroad belt j (
for over a year, has undoubtedly acquired something :i
which should revolutionize mining activities and inject ji
a tremendous influence toward resumption never before |c
achieved throughout this area of Alaska. L
Instead of shipping ore to smelters, the miner need i t
only ship to the plants which will be established by Mr. i
O’Malley, the first at Anchorage and one in the Seward (
vicinity and other units elsewhere as soon as they can €
be established in mining districts. At these plants ev- j
erything the ore embodies will be recovered. i
Mr. O’Malley was very conservative yet enthusiastic i
in his interview with The Gateway and is to be com- c
mended by every Alaskan for his admirable and pro
gressive spirit in bringing to a successful conclusion his 1
plans for founding a great industry which has too long \
been dormant. It is such new enterprises as this which i
he proposes that will bring Alaska out of the doldrums.
Surrounded by a multitude of natural resources the de
velopment of these and industrial growth of the century
need only a fewT more men of O’Malley’s calibre to make
it emerge from its extended state of adolescency.
THE ALASKA YAK
What is this yak Senator Howell has fallen hard
for? Listen my children and you shall hear.
Experiments in crossing the yak of Tibet with the1.
Galloway cattle at the experiment station near Fair- ii
banks during the last severol years have produced a!j
hardy animal that preserves most of the good qualities ||
of both breeds.
This cross, the galloyak, may do for Alaska in time!:
even more than the reindeer has done or could do.
The yak is a native of the high plateaus and valleys j
of Central Asia, 12,000 feet and more above sea level, j
It forages for itself all winter on dried grasses and j
lives in the open in the coldest weather of those high
regions.
The valleys of central Alaska have climate and grass
feed where the yak thrives better than in its native
habitat or environments.
Its meat is equal to the best beef. It gives a good
supply of rich milk. Its coat of hair is really wool from
four to six inches long. The natives of Central Asia
use the yak wool for weaving cloth and blankets, as we
use the wool of sheep.
The yak is also valuable as a beast of burden. The
Asiatics work it to plows and wagons, use it as a pack
animal and get all service in general from it that we get
from cattle and horses together.
The yak, or galloyak, can find a congenial home in
central Alaska, where some day it may roam the ranges
in droves of thousands as reindeer do today. It should
be a source of profit in many ways.
After the outburst on the lowly yak what could be
sweeter in our old age than to have a yak in the family.
The yak could feed us, haul us about, keep us supplied
in clothing, do all the work for us, and—guess we had
better cease these suggestions or we will have another
Alaska bureau to deal with, the Gallo-yak Bureau.
Out Westward trappers send word that poor catches
are the rule but that beaver are plentiful. They are in
hopes the Alaska Game Commission will lift the beaver
ruling, declaring an open season on tfie animal. And
that, at a time of the year wThen trappers may secure
a reasonable limit.

m OF MR.
H MRS. COLWELL
Seventeen years ago a young
ellow by the name of George
Colwell arrived here from the
States; three years later he began
o court one the comely daugh- j
ers of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Leslie, i
Ithel, and within the year they
vere married. To be exact, 13
rars ago yesterday, July 7.
During the intervening years j
hree 'fine children have come to ^
his extremely popular Seward j
ouple, George, age 12; Iris, age >
, and Jacqueline, age 4.
The occasion of the arrival of
heir 13th wedding anniversary
nought congratulations from their j
nany friends and to these The
lateway staff also wishes to ex
end happy returns of the day
/ith the wish their future years
/ill be as completely filled with
ontentment and good health as
tave been the years which have
one by as if they were but a few
lays.
Mr. and Mrs. Colwell recently
eturned from an extended trip
o the States upon which journey
ris accompanied her parents. Mr.
Jolwell, roadmaster of the south,
rn division of the Alaska Rail
oad, is probably one of the best
iked and efficient of the many
ine employees of the railroad.
\)day, he returned to his head
luarters at Tunnel.
Mrs. Colwell and children have
►een in Seward since last Thurs
lay and are remaining for some
ime before joining Mr. Colwell
it Tunnel.
M ACTIVITY
IN COEUR O' ALENE
IS TURNING TO GOLD
WALLACE, Idaho, July 7. (£>)—!
rhe hills of the Coeur d’Alenes;
vill witness more men at work on j
solated ventures this summer than :
or many years. Those who must j
io their assessment work are in j
me class and those miners tern- i I
Dorarily out of employment turn- j
ng to prospecting, are in another.'
Congress declined exempt min- I
.ng claims from the law which re- j
quires $100 worth of work each
year on mining claims, prior
to patent. If the work is not
done by July 1, the claim reverts
to the government and is subject
to relocation by any one.
Many owners are hiring the work J
done, reports the Denver Mining j
Record,in a recent issue.
Besides such work, many men
are prospecting for placer ground j
still unworked or for undiscover- J
ed lode values. Old-time placer
diggings of Pichard, Eagle and
Bea ver creeks, scenes of gold rush
es in the early 80’s, are attracting
many prospectors. Many still
search for the “mother lode,” the
source of all the gold wealth of the
district.
Gold nuggets, in a setting of
white quartz, have recently been
found and are evidence that
quartz veins exist somewhere along
the streams from which the gold
became detached.
CHARLIE GOING SOUTH
Chas. J. Fisk, former editor of
the Amchorage Times who has
been in ill health for m^ny
months, may arrive in Seward this
evening enroute to San Diego. Mr.
Fisk is one of the best known
of newspapermen in the Territory
and his departure will be regret
ted by his many friends.
