MINING, THE BACKBONE OF GREAT BRITAIN
It is said the power and wealth of Great Britain is
largely due to its nourishing of mining industry of South
Africa, Australia and Canada. Perhaps that is the reason
so many millions of dollars of English money is invested
in Alaska. They evidently must have the utmost confi
dence in the mining industry.
Perhaps the United States should take this page
of England’s book of experience, and do likewise Looking
back over the years it is an easy task to compile briefly
the amount of developments carried forward by the gov
ernment; and it is little, very little.
.Everything else but the mining resources of our
country is of major importance, peculiar as it may seem,
and when aid is asked, especially for this .great Ter
ritory of Alaska, what a howl smotes the heavens. But
when a couple of billions is asked for some hair-brained
“pork-in-the-barrel” project, that’s different!
The heads of the multitude of bureaus and depart
ments in Alaska must go back to Washington each year
and with their hat in hand implore the committees to
be liberal. The first chorus of howls then rent the air and
finally, the bureau chiefs return North, sadder but wiser
men, not with what they wanted but with want they got.
There seems to be an undefined, unknown group who
have opposed, for some reason, the development of this
last frontier. The Heinz laws in the Territory of Alaska
have developed to such an extent that though America
may be the land of liberty and opportunity a good many
oldtimers wonder what it is all about and why the lack
of enthusiasm in giving Alaska a square deal.
We see by. the papers where the Middlewest blames
the North for their present bad weather. How come we
would like to know, especially with these beautiful days
of the last two weeks?
A Fairbanks man’s life is reported to have been sav
ed when a patent cigarette lighter deflected a bullet. We
always felt that those things must be good for something.
