ON THRESHOLD OF PERMANENCY
It is a matter of record that 25 percent of the lead and
20 percent of the silver produced in the United States
comes from Coeur d’Alene district of Idaho. The grand
total mineral production of that district to date is nearly
$600,000,000. The annual production is running overj
$30,000,000 a year. Dividends paid by miners in the
Coeur d’Alenes passed $130,000,000 up to the end of 1926.
With capital taking an active interest in Alaska can
one doubt for a moment that the Territory is not on the
threshold of blossoming into one of the world’s greatest
mineral producers?
Stick with the old ship, boys!
Gauged by the scarcity of clothing on fair damsels in
the movies, and contrary to a dispatch today, the back to
nature’ movement movement started years ago.
The large increase in automobiles in Alaska in the
past few years is probably the direct result of more roads.
Judging this to be so it would not be a bad idea for the au
tomobile agents of tthe Territory to get together and pro
mote road construction instead of letting George do it.
What if the ‘back to nature’ movement started in Alas
ka. Picture, if you can, some of these hard-boiled old
sourdoughs running around in their birthday suits.
Judging from the large increase in automobiles ship
ped to the Territory last year over previous years the Ter
ritory can’t be so awfully bad.
Referring to the article in today’s paper relative to the
news service direct from Hell an • oldtimer remarks it
sounds like hell, too.
“Ain’t that Hell,” exclaimed the sourdough when he
discovered he didn’t have enough money after paying for
his outfit to pay the freight over the railroad to the jump
ing off spot.
“That’s a Hell of a note”, raved the Seward band lead
er last night when one of tthe boys inadvertently pressed
the wrong button.
Solomon said, “The fool gazeth afar off and seeth not
that which lieth at his feet.” Moral; stick with Alaska.

f __ I
In what is thought to have been an
accidental discharge of a shotgun yes
terday afternoon Paul Nickeferoff is
today laying in the Seward General
hospital with a mangled hand and
arm.
Dr. Alcorn performed a difficult
operation on the lad this morning in
an endeavor to save the hamd but
does not know at this time whether he
will be successful for portions of the
tendons were shot to pieces, and some,
entirely away. Dr. Alcorn is confi
dent, however, he will save the arm. •
At noon today Paul was coming out
of the anesthetic in as good shape as
could be expected.
Mrs. Nickeferoff, mother of Paul, is
also in the hospital recovering from
a major operation performed a few
days ago.
