noted with pride the substantial
growth of the city since he visited
here a year ago.”

ka Legilature, also commented

! ell Creek project saying that while
I he served as mayor of Seward,
i about 10 years ago, the council
at that time endeavored to have
the work done; he was very happy
when he heard the project was
i to be embarked upon. The matter j
1 of a local breakwater was also j
dwelled uj*on briefly and he urged
every energy be directed to ob- 1
taining the much need safety im
provement for small boats.
The Territory in general has de
creased in white population at
least by 4,000, the Senator observed,
and this decline he attributed to
the many wild cat propositions
which has broken down much of
the confidence of capital. As a re
sult the larger proportion of min- j
ing money is now being diverted
to Canada, Mexico and South
America.
he still sees hope of capitol
becoming interested in Alaska on
a large scale and pointed out that
President Elect Herbert Hoover
is a mining man and has there
for always been interested in Alas
ka. During Mr. Hoover’s visit to
the Territory, about five years ago.
the Senator talked with him of a
plan for the development of the
Territory’s resources. This plan, he
said, would now be resubmitted to
Mr. Hoover.
Senator Chamberlin is afraid the
proposed colonization scheme,
advanced four years ago and again
revived during the past year, is
I doomed for failure; he recalled
: that at least 600 homesteads have
been abandoned. Lack of popula
tion, or market, is the trouble.
One step taken in the right di
rection for the upbuilding of min
ing, he said, is the Prospectors
Aid Act but this is inadequate in
its present form; and it is being
j abused as a means of obtaining a
grubstake. On the other hand the
Senator cited a cas6 in the Copper
River district where a prospect
was uncovered which undoubtedly
will exceed the highest expecta
tions of those interested and which
is said to be a larger proposition
then the Kennecott holdings. This
prospect is only one of many, he
concluded.
