WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
When President Hoover was asked, as a mining en
gineer, the possibilities of Soviet Russia in point of min
eral, he replied:
“There is more mineral in the state of Montana.”
And yet Montana has been mined since the early
seventies.
It was believed for a time that Montana’s mining re
sources centered first in the Alder Gulch, and finally in
Butte, the great copper camp.
f or many years the Alaska Treadwell was consider
ed all that the Territory had to offer in gold. Then came
the Klondike and the successive placer finds which swung
attention away from lode mining to the more easily ex
tracted placers.
But it remained for Frederick Worthen Bradley, as
sited by his brother Philip and H. L. Metger, engineers
and general superintendent respectively, to bring in the
wonder mine, the Alaska Juneau. Kennecott overshadow
ed anything known in the copper world as a magic mine.
Doubting Thomases for 15 years scoffed at Willow
Creek. It is predicted that from 400 to 500 men will be em
ployed there next summer, and the men who 10 years ago
laughed to scorn the patient and poveity stricken pros
pector are now cultivating him and trying to sell him
"goods. In fact Willow Creek is the greatest resource back
of Anchorage and already has made this fact manifest in
the spirited growth of that city within the past year.
There are the same doubting Thomases scoffing at
Nuka Bay. It would be difficult to determine the cause of
this state of mind; maybe it is that lack of vision possess
ed by non-analytical minds. But Nuka Bay is the bright
thing on the horizon which guarantees Seward a place
}n the sun.
The prospectors in Nuka Bay deserve encourage
ment, and no praise is too high for those who have bat
tled away on small means and at great sacrifice to final
ly bring its treasures to light.
These are the men who build a nation; others simnlv!
follow’ after. j
The Bradleys built the Alaska Juneau by solving a :
problem not only enriching the owners but which contri-!
butes even greater values to the art of metallurgy. They1
pioved that hitherto believed worthless gangue matter
could be made to yield millions. " ;
It will require science as well as money and labor to
finally elevate lode mining to its proper position. No:
more inviting field offers than the coastline between Cape L
Resuilection and Two Arm Bay. It has the geological I
Miuctuie, the ricn sunace veins and only requires devel-i
opment to possibly produce another Alaska Juneau.
TOO HOT IN THE NORTHLAND
The warmest spot in the United States these past few
nays have been in Alaska. In the Interior, where last
'A eek temperatures ranged to far below zero, they are
now as high above. Water is forming on top of the ice
and there is so much water and lack of snow on airplane ■
fields that landings are said to be rather dangerous. Yes- j
terday Nulato was reported to be sweltering in a 49 J
above climate. Some Alaskans are contemplating tak- !
ing passag3 for the States to get cooled off. !
Ireland says she will not recognize the Japanese
created state of Manchukuo in Manchuria. And Japan
says not even its mother wall recognize Ireland if it butts
into this international argument.

it they will look carefully at an Asiatic map they will find 5
a spot entirely surrounded by a flounce. The latter is 5
what s left of China. X marks the spot. \
. The fathei of a man shot down by a California
night watchman has demanded the latter’s arrest. We
feared some respectable burglar would be shot when they
started arming policemen.
In publishing American names in “Who’s Who” the
British could have saved money by printing only those
whom they do not owe.

Repeal of the 18th amendment will put new life into
the majority of the people. Yes, in more ways than one.
Beauty appears to be suffering by the depression. A
month has gone by without a hundred thousand dollar
breach of promise suit in the States.
There is no worse H-- than that provided by the re
grets for wasted opportunities.
iniE OUTCAST” II
DECEMBER SIXTEENTH
When the curtain of the Libertj
Theatre lifts on the evening of De
cember 1G, those who, like one
nursing a jaded appetite, and sud
denly finds a palatable dish sel
before him, will meet something
worthy of gorging.
It is on this evening that The
Little Theatre Club will present
“The Outcast.”
Wait a moment. This title con
jures up something suggestive of
the morbid—calculated to wring
the heart-strings and stress the
emotions.
But hold judgment in suspension.
For that is what “The Outcast” will
do while alternating between at
tuning the sensibilities like a deli
cate musical instrument productive
of shaded, dulcet tones, and dart
ing, keen shafts of scintillating hu
mor, so harmoniously blended as
to exact the full modicum of pleas
ure.
To reveal the denceuments of
the multi-plots — and they are
many—would be to rob you of the
zest of surprise. Let it assume the
similarity of a banquet, with each
choice viand conjuring up ecsta
cies as it is laid before the guests,
and tickling the palate for that
to follow.
Those who have been viewing
rehearsals with a critical eye, and
from a purely detached and un
emotional position, have left with
conviction that this will be some
thing more than mere entertain
ment.
Those who heed this warning and
are present Friday evening, De
cember 16, will witness the finished
work of a budding star. This star
is lone Steinauer.
It is not difficult to s'et aside re
alities and picture her as stepping
from the legitimate stage, unac
companied by that charitable loy
alty accorded local talent. In fact
one is completely lost to this when
they find themselves detached
from this influence and follows her
work while, like Penelope, plying
her nimble fingers, she alternately
created and unraveled the fabric
to the delight of her audience.
Coming like the spice of the pud
ding is Delbert Hayes, who might
be plucked from any legitimate
cast, tcssed upon the stage and
finds himself reveling in a role
suited to his taste and tempera
ment.
You are going to love these two
and follow them as loyal compatri

ots thru thick and thin.
By the same token you are going
to meet .exotic people in the re
mainder of the cast—strangers who
have stepped into your midst, and
who make you wonder if you have
met them before. In these you will
see characters virtually lifted from
the covers of the playright’s script,
each compensating with some tit
bit or morsel which fits snugly into
where it was intended.
One could not compile a cred
itable post-presentation criticism
j without revealing the names of
! lone Steinauer and Delbert Hayes.
But just to intrigue, tease and
i your appetite for the prom
j ised surprise, only the characters
of the remaining cast will be
' revealed.
j This will enable you to sustain
j the illusion that you are viewing
i artists relying upon their interpre
tative genius rather than personal
acquaintance to recommend them,
i They are: Mrs. Hamilton; Dou
I glas, her son, an author; Tom, her
younger son (Delbert Hayes); Bish
op Wade, her brother; Peggy, his ,
small daughter; Janet Harden, a
spinster; Angela stone, a debu
■ tante; Simpson, the butler; Norah,
| the housekeeper, and The Outcast.
The staging will be under special
scenery created to support the
theme in all its relations.
The play has progressed with
rythmic click under the direction
of Mrs. Paul McMullen, who has
been an exacting critic in dove
tailing each character into the
gripping plot, calculated to sus
tain the element of mystery to the
end.
In this latier you will revel in the
same rapt anticipation which ac
companied your first toddle in your
bare feet across to the mantlepiece
to rifle a Christmas stocking.

health and save yourself trouble

Laundry's advertisement.
