GENERALLY, THIS IS TRUE
The greatest need of the average mining man is funds
with which to develop his mine. Thousands of good pro
perties remain in the prospect stage because funds are
not available for exploitation. The many brainy men who
belong to mining associations, geological societies and
technical organizations are as a rule quite ready to criti
cise the promoter of a mining enterprise but they have not
been able to solve the bg problem that is worrying the av
erage Alaskan mining man.
Professional guides and salesmen on yesterday's
freight train for the Interior made a happy combination.
If the train became stuck the guides would come in handy.
HOORAY FOR HARRY!
Sinclair and associates are both remotely and direct
- Iy charged with having paid off some campaign expense
deficits. Technical violation of law, some would call it;
others may say it is inherently wrong and a slap at demo
cracy °f suffrage. Well, it may be any one or all of them,
but our notion is that any guy that will pay off a cam
paign deficit is a real patriot!
Love's labor is never lost when boosting for Seward,
to make business better. At least more people are stir
ring around
American civilization has advanced over European at
least to the extent that Americas politicians have in
stalled mud guards instead of body guards.
Mining built the West and mining is building Alaska.
