LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. "Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

on the Monarch property, south of

lieving that the ore has been proven i

ment, the owners of the property and I
others who have investigated the \
workings, are organizing a company I
with a view to raising the capital <
necessary to put the mine on a pro- '
ducing basis. <

op the property to a total output of {
1,000 tons a day. This will mean the {
erection of a larger mill to handle the (
lower grade ores. (
