AND ALASKA STILL SLEEPS
A group of men who can increase a city’s population from half a
lillion population in 1920 to 1,238,048 in 1930, are entitled to the atten
ion of those who watch progress and note its cause.
Therefore, when the Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles, Calif.,
?ts its face to the task of converting Los Angeles bankers to the pos
Lbilities of the mining industry, and the encouraging of the organiza
on of local exploration or finance companies which will develop on a ;
rofitable basis with the prospectors the vast, rich and untouched min
ral deposits of Southern California and tributary territories, it dis
lays again that rare foresight which has been responsible for its
rowtli- In addition, it is preparing to turn depression into prosperity,
alifornia, Nevada, Arizona, Utah. Colorado and New Mexico have an
nnual mining production of $522,314,934. Los Angeles wants some of
le trade emanating from this resource. Not satisfied wuth its share,
is going out to create more.
In 1829, California’s gold production amounted to $8,526,703. In
>31. it had risen to 810.708.000. This gold is being gleaned in small
nounts by a great horde of men who have turned to the hills follow
g the beginning of thedepression.
Los Angeles has the reputation for selling. It sold the climate idea,
is now out to sell the mining idea to the banks.
The plan is to organize an exploration company composed of three
inkers, three machinery manufacturers and three mining engineers
promote the discoveries of prospectors on a profit-sharing basis.
Since the idea is to create business for merchants, activities are not
mfined solely to California. If Alaska had a few live wire salesmen to
•esent the Alaskan idea to communities looking for business, there
auld be no cause for speculation on what the next 10 years will bring
rth.
CONFIDENCE
Among the watchwords heralded by the President and other states
en as a panacea for national depression is “confidence.” While deal
g with an entirely different state of affairs then exist in Alaska, the
)rd is strikingly applicable to this portion of the nation. It differs
ly in that in its application to the States, an effort is made to stop
»arding and the re-establishment of normal business, not the least of
lich is manufacturing.
In Alaska, it signifies a relation to present and future. It is only
nfidence in one’s own ability and in the resources of this most fav
ed country that lies not in a re-establishment of something that al
idy exists and ending depression, but in setting our faces to the crea
•n of something at our doors only requiring a little stimilus, and
rich will overshadow all previous eras of prosperity.
Waiting for something to come from the skies, some magic, or some
irtling episode is fatal.
It is in times of stress that men are forced to lay aside many dif
•ences and pool their energies and thoughts to a given end. and one
it will rebound to the benefits of all, even tho it allots'a major share
others. These others will be the men who lead the movement to at
ict capital to Alaska. The money markets are practically virgin for
;t what Alaska has to offer—its gold and other precious metals
The wise laborer goes out after and wins a job. The wise business
m emulates him in getting business. Collectively, this force, properly
ected. will provide for both.
If it comes to the worst and the politicians cannot agree on a
table man for President, we nominate Chinese General Mah. He took
; Chinks to the cleaners for a trainload of jack, trimmed the Japs for
ee carloads of yen, and gave the Soviets the coatsleeve around the
ldpipe and bit off enough kopeks from their bank roll to justify him
oming successor to Andy Mellon, or head of Tammany.
Speaking at a banquet tendered Ambassador Andy Mellon in Lon
l. Sir John Simon observed: “It is our firm resolve to cultivate this
>Py relationship, and to use it for the benefit of the world.” And we
'Ught all the time that there were r.o more worlds to loan money to.
W ho says woman has not approached'man’s equal. In the New
.land rukus. the men were willing to parade and jeer, but. the women
an snying bricks through jewelry windows and helping themselves
diamond and wedding rings.
Kansas is to erect a statue of Carrie Nation. Evidently following
precedent of King Amansis of Egypt, who reared statues signifying
effeminacy of the men who failed to give him good fight.
There is no denying that the emancipation of woman has permitted
to become just as tough and depraved as the meh.
In the good old days, bleeding was believed to be good for a man
idently we are back in the good old days.
