BITTER FEELING IN

| NEW YORK, June 20. (£*)—An
| attempt to extend the recovery
in share prices was abandoned, as
! bulls were unable tq attract a fol
lowing, and stocks drifted lower
in a stagment market,
i The bitter feeling in financial
circles which appeared last week
still was manifest despite the neg
lected stock market. The foreign
i outlook was generally regarded as
l more satisfactory.
I Rails bore the brunt of the pres
1 sure in the market and such issues
as Atchison, New York Central and
Union Pacific lost from two tc

Don’t miss the "Talkies!”
June 20, 1931.
Editor Gateway:
Arthur Brisbane, the great col
umnist for the Hearst papers, who
| makes a specialty of giving the
I facts about any subject on which
he writes, recently published the
cold facts about the purchase of
Alaska from Russia. None of the
much praised school or other his
tory yet printed give anything
but a farcial account of the trans
action.
! What adds interest to Mr. Bris
{bane’s story is the fact it is the
’SECOND time the story has ap
! peared in print. The FIRST time
I the true story of the purchase oi
i Alaska by the United States tc
appear in print was in the Sewarc
Daily Gateway of December 5, 1925
Mr. Brisbane, in part, says:
“We bought Alaska, really, tc
have an excuse for handing some
money to corrupt Russian officials
! disguising the transaction as £
I business affair. The Russians hac
! valued Alaska for its catch of see
otters, prized by nobles as a lining
for their coats. When the ottei
catch fell off, they were willing tc
sell, and Seward was laughed a
for buying.”
The Gateway story that ap
peared in the issue of Decembe;
5, 1925, was, in part, as follows:
“A great many years ago—to to
more exact, around 1867—that the
great country of Russia fount
herself sadly in need of a pincl
of change .... The question a
that time was where to raise so mi
I seven millions of dollars . . . Kit
! tenish glances were cast towar<
Uncle Sam . . . The United State
was willing to “loan” provide!
some sort of security could be pu
up and which would not cause th<
U. S. to become a laughing stocl
i of the world . . . Then a Russiai
wit suggested giving Alaska. Rus
sians first viewed the wit’s sug
gestion as an insult to the Unitet
States, and he only missed th
firing squad by inches . . . Th<
wit’s suggestion, leaking out
caused a laugh among nations tha
, echoed around the world . . . Rus
?sia got the seven million dollar*
■ and in addition Uncle Sam paii
; $200,000 as a commission to mak
■the ‘loan’ and got—Alaska.”

m MINING PRIMUS
IN FACE OF OPPRESSION
Gold mining is the most sub
stantial industry of the United
| States in this period of unemploy
ment, business failures and falling
i stock prices. Alaska Juneau and
j Homestake Mining, two western
| gold mines, have scored advances
| on the New York Stock Exchange
jin the face of the worst stock
j decline in the-history of that or
jganization, says the Denver Mining
j Record.
Two great low-grade gold mining
dends or have paid increased divi
projects have started paying divi
dends when other great industrial
organizations of the east have
passed or reduced their payments,
j Facts like these are proof that
■gold mining prospers in times of
depression and these are reasons
for the gold mining boom that is
now gaining momentum in the
West.
