SLOW BUT STEADY PROGRESS
Though the development of the Nuka Bay quartz
field seems slow and therefor probably not worth while
it should be remembered that every dime going into the
various properties is practically local money and it is dif
ficult to go ahead at a rate and scale which large Outside
capital would possibly develop it. There will come a time
before long when the mining men in that field will finally
develop their holdings to such an extent that little trou
ble will be met in obtaining additional capital in order
actual production will emerge.
In the meantime it would be well to remember to at
all times to give them our hearty moral support, wish
them well, encourage them; from the showing made in the
last three or four years it is sufficient to know results
have been obtained and shortly, it is anticipated, reports
will eminate from the district, that mines have been brot
to a stage of practical development.
The Nuka Bay has everything |n its favor for a huge
mining district. It is known there are inexhaustible ore
bodies of both high and low grade values; the district is
situate on tide water and close to Seward, the base for
supplies, unlimited power is there and also some of the
finest stands of timber in the Territory.
Some large company’s attention will yet be attracted
to the district and when that happens, one of the largest
quartz camps in Alaska will be bom.
Mr. Coolidge, we are told, was much impressed with
the spouting of Old Faithful geyser, but this does not
mean that the spouting politicians will impress him in the
future'any more than in the past.
At least there is no mad scramble among Republicans
competing for the presidency. There is a refreshing de
gree of soberness being shown which speaks well for the
leadership of the party.
If the citizens of Seward were not up and doing it’s
likely they might be put down and done.
It is stated that it is physically impossible for a back
‘ biter to look his victim square in the face.
Another reason this is a producing nation is that we
all keep more or less busy making mistakes.
Tell a lie and everyone believes you; tell the truth and
111 be darned if they don’t call you a liar. Is zat so?
“I’m an Alaskan.”
What great pride is contained in those few words!
Through the news we learn that an air mail pilot was
rescued from drowning by a Chamber of Commerce
launch; possibly the Seward Chamber could do the same
with a “lunch”.

Let’s hear a yap from the duck hunters—number oi

VILi BAZU, TO
PLAY THIS EVENING
REPERTOfRE OF SELECTIONS j
FROM THE MASTERS COM. j
PRISE PROGRAM
Music lovers have a rare treat in j
store for them this evening the occa- :
sion being the first appearance in j
concert, in Seward her former home, [
of the now famous Alaskan violinist, I
Vilma Bazant.
Working persistently under the best !
masters of the violin in America, the I
young artist has already attained a j
niche in t,he hall of America’s great. |
For almost seven years she has per- j
servered until a few' months ago, in ;
New York> her teacher informed her j
she had advanced so rapidly there j
was little more he could teach her and j
that it was best she take a final year j
in Europe, (she is going to Budapest) j
wrhich should complete her musical ;
education. This she will do upon her i
departure from Alaska.
In making her bow to the citizens of j
Seward this evening will follow a pro- j
gram of thirteen selections, which, it I
is needles to say, will consist of her j
best numbers from her extensive rep- !
ertoire. The opening number is Ro- |
mance—Wieniawski, which will give j
the artist an opportunity to display i
her wonderful technique.
Next will follow that gem, Souve
nir—Drdla; next the “Zephyr” by
Hubay; then will come the beauti
ful “Hindu Chant” by Rymski—Kor
sakoff; a dashing and rythmically
irresistable “Polonaise” by Wien-,,
iawski is the next number.
Then in succession will be presented
“Endearing Charms,” “Souvenir de
Moscow” by Wieniawski; a waltz by
Brahmo-Hochsteoin; “Hark! Hark!
the Lark,” by Schubert, exquisitely
arranged for the violin;“Ave Maria,”
by Schubert—Wilhemj; “The Bee,”
by Schubert; then the magnificent
“Humoreske” by Dvorak; and last the
ever beloved “Zigeunerweisen,” gyp
sy airs by Sarsate w'hich concludes the
program. It is seldom indeed such a
repertoire of interpretations of the
masters have been presented any
where but to Seward Vilma Bazant is
offering her very best for the appro
val of her home folks.
It is announced that a Pathe News
reel will open the evening’s entertain
ment, to be followed by other news
reels, after wTiich the young artist will
be heard. Her program will probably
require a full hour and a half.
Tommy Jasper, former chef at the
Overland Grill, departed yesterday for
Fairbanks where he is taking charge
of a large barber shop. Tommy is a
professional barber as well as an ex
cellent chef.
Harry Balderston, head of the Bank
of Seward, who has just returned from
a vacation in the Moose Pass coun
try, reports ptarmigan and ducks are
plentiful now throughout the district.
