PERFORMING A SPLENDID WORK
That Bureau of Mines assay service at the Alaska
College is doing a doing a splendid work for prospeetois
and declare they are ready to take on all coiners.
There’s many a poor prospector with samples from
some outcrop on his hands who has never had^ them as
sayed because he didn’t have the money. Now if he
would go into a short period of deep thinking and re
flect that it would only cost him four or five dollars
to send two or three of those specimens to Fairbanks,
for a critical analysis and assay, he could relieve him
self of a whole lot of mental stress and perhaps find
he has a mine where he least expected it.
_s.
Every time the steamboat ‘toot toots’ going round
the point the inner mentor asks, “How come, Old Timer,
you don’t seem to long any more for the fleshpot of the
Outside?” And we answer, “No, it is more beautiful
here and we are getting a real kick out of life and
there are so many enjoyable, uplifting things to do in
this new country.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Seward should turn out en masse to welcome the
colonization party fostered by the Alaska Railroad and
Colonel Ohlson, general manager.- By our spirit we
should let them know at once that we are glad they
have come to be a part of this great country and intend
to stay. They are coming to a strange, new land which
they have always thought was a great, invulnerable
ice field.
If you can get one of them aside, take him out to
the nearest field and show him a honey bee buzzing
around a flower.
Because they are so removed from the present
beaten path of travel, the mines of the Westward have
produced huge sums have had scant mention in the
press comment of the day. Sometimes, when we get
a day off, we will compile some statistics that will
startle you and show the vast mineral possibilities of
the peninsula and the Westward Islands. In the mean
time, we opine, Nuka Bay, Moose Pass and Iliamna
will be writing history themselves.
Oui admiration for King Alfonso is increased
upon learning that he likes to dip cookies in his coffee
and it courageous enough to do so in company.
[IKS SHOW COMING !
ADC. 31,JE SUCCESS
“Laugh and the world laughs j
with you.” When Ella Wheeler |
Wilcox wrote those words, she ex- j
pressed a great truth. We always ;
like and admire those who enter
tain and amuse us, and have an ;
antipathy for the ones wno are al
ways cheerless and sorrowful. This
is especially true in the amusement
world. The long faced crepe hang- ;
ers are avoided and die in poverty
while the brilliant comedians like
Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin and
many others reap fortunes.
Knowing that everyone enjoys
laughter, the Seward Elks enter
tainment committee selected “The
Whole Town’s Talking” as a vehicle
for its forthcoming show. This
play is a real farce comedy whose
sole mission on the st?~e is to make
people laugh. The authors have
constructed it so cleverly however,
that it is never ridiculous but al
ways genuinely funny. All the
theatre going public of the Seward
district should make arrangements
to be at the Dreamland Auditorium
Saturday evening August 31 and
enjoy “The Whole Town’s Talking”.
ROAD CREW ACTIVE
The Solomon crew on the general
maintenance of the road from Sol
omon to the new location of the
Goldsmith dredge at Butte creek.
The bridge crew is now erecting a
bridge across the Big Hurrah creek
opposite Quigley’s camp. After the
general repair work is completed on
the present Solomon road, the crew
will start the construction of the
new road from Hurrah bridge to
East Fork, following over the old
railroad bed.
Harvey Grant and Isadore Fix
are busy hauling supplies to the
different camps in the Kougarok
district. They are in the trans
portation business and operate a
John Deere tractor. The roads,
Harvey reports, are unusually bad,
being rough and swampy. A tram
way is needed badly to open up this
vast treasure chest.
Jenson and Son, who bought out
the Thompson interests on Coffee
creek, Nome, are about ready to be
gin work. They have a Fordson
tractor, drills, boilers, ditch build
ing material etc. They have some
very promising ground.
1 L. D. Baldwin, New York finan
cier, accomnnnied by Mrs. Bald-i
win, was met in Eeward todav by
Col. O. F. Ohlson, general mana
ger of the Alaska Railroad, the
party leaving for the Interior on
th* morning train.
