| ALASKA AND NEVADA TIN , j
? _ i
i '' '
Mention was made the other day of Alaska being
the only place on the North American continent where
tin ore was found or mined. As much as we would like i
to brag about our home-land in fairness we must admit j
the dispatch erred for down in the Lander and Hum-1
bodlt counties, in Nevada, prospectors have reported
to the U. S. Geological Survey of important discoveries
in certain areas that carry superficial indications of the
metal known as block tin.
Regardless of the fajt Malayan operators are or
ganizing the Anglo Oriental Mining Corporation for the
sole purpose to squeeze the American consumer to the
same limit as the Stephenson law which ran rubber from
15 cents to $1.25 per pound thru governmental control
and restricted exports, Alaska and Nevada may free the
United States from this combine.
Alaska has much to give to the world beside gold
and tin is but one of them.
FEW UNGRATEFUL
Although there may be many people in America to
day who have no feeling, no thought, and even no word,
of gratitude, there is no doubt that on the whole this
country has a deep sense of thankfullness for the many
and bountiful blessings that have been bestowed upon
it. Surely no nation ever had such abundant reason for
gratitude and in the same degree no nation ever had i
such an obligation laid upon it.
Success to the individual mining investor is a mat
ter of getting into young enterprises, capably managed,1
with their future ahead of them.
One of the favorite cracks the oldtimers make upon
returning from the States early i nthe spring is, not
that the poke is empty, but that they got homesick for
fish.
