PROMOTION VS DESTRUCTION
"Tax the fur and subsidize the prospector” is the slo
gan of 0. B. Millett of the Iliamna. “Return the tax on
ttie fur and double it. Get., money from a source that is
wasting away in order to produce something that will al
ways be here. If they are going to take pelts from these
little animals and then run away to spend the money
Isi the States, what have we left? In the meantime how
about the prospector who is toiling away in the hills
looking for something that will be a permanent thing?
He can't make any ‘quick’ money and it might be years
before he can open up a prospect that will invite capital
for development.”
In this way the mining game in Alaska can be devel
oped and it will cost the Territory nothing. In other
words we take advantage of a passing value to make
good a permanent value. If we dont encourage prospect
mg in the country, subsidize or otherwise and develop
the mining resources of Alaska in the next 10 years, we
V1,rv,!r well all move out or give it back to the trader
and »;ne trapper.
In 10 years from now, the old prospector, will be as
extinct at the dodo.
Doctors declare that fasting for 15 days will restore
a man’s basic metabolic rate. Try it, if you care for that
sort of thing.

It would be so disappointing if the radio announcer
failed to give the number of his kilocycles, etc.
There would be little difficulty in picking out a can

Due to the scarcity of rural doctors, many country
people still retain their tonsils.
Party lines this year are in accord with art: Always
forming new angles.
Investors in mining shares are realizing that their
money spent in development work is what makes shares
valuable.

To Leave Tomorrow
I Bringing in the Motorship Rolph
i No. 1, of which he is the owner,
iCapt. Pete Sather made the Port of
j Reward last night about 12 o’clock
j from Nuka Bay where he has a fine
| fox farm, a good mining prospect
jand from whence he also engages
|'n the fishing game, from which it
is easy to imagine that Capt. Sath
er is a busy man.
His trip in this time is made for
the particular purpose of taking
back to Surprise Bay in Nuka Bay
district Tom Babcock and Mr. and
Mrs. Downey of the rich “Sonny j
Pox” mine, one of the richest re- 1
cent discoveries in all Alaska. They j
will have a full cargo of provisions, i
I lumber and hay, blacksmith forge
and outfit and general equipment,
i for a full winter of active develop
ment on the “Sonny Fox” Since
jail of their supplies have not arriv
ed here as yet, it will be necessary
for Capt. Sather to make another
;trip into Seward, which he expects
to be about the 4th of November.
It is possble that Bert Lee, who is
also mining in Nuka Bay will be a
passenger out tomorrow.
