$200 ORE VEIN UNCOVERED NUKA BAY
From all points of the compass in Alaska mining re
gions comes news of the sweep of the great mining le
vival that is now under way; the new and important dis
coveries, all of which will add to the boundless wealth o
mining men and investors.
Down at Nuka Bay the other day Downey and Bab
cock uncovered ore which others, not they, claim wi
average at least $200 to the ton. But like the majority oi
these hard-plugging miners and prospectors in Alaska
adequate machinery is lacking, due to shortage of finan
ces therefore, this bonanza will probably be worked or
the smallest of scales as marked their entry onto the prop
ertv three years ago. That’s why we call them pluggeis
they have stuck with her for three long years.
If the ringing news of a strike of this magnitude
can evoke scarcely a ripple of interest the country musl
be in a bad way. News of this sort is generally greeted bj
the average Alaskan as “bull.” And this class is in the ma,
ority. The Alaskans who have consistently backed up the
many mining ventures are in the minority but these are
the lads who deserve unstinted praise in backing up the
frost bitten, plugging prospector and small mine owner
7h: Moo:01 Pass country, as everyone should know ba
this time, is gradually emerging from its laxity aftei
many, many years of idleness, with riches underfoot. Ac
tivities up there are on a larger scale than ever and mam
new companies are taking ahold.
It is up to Seward to get behind both of these camp!
and give them all the support we can. The development o:
mining properties around Seward will do more to mak<
Seward grow than any other factor.

Well, Houslon has also been damp recently.
HUSTLING, BUSTLING SEWARD TOWN
Now that work on the Lowell Creek project is to be
cin next week, there probably will be a shortage of labor,
taking into consideration the large amount of other local
improvements under way, the new school house in the
offing the cannery season going full blast and the iieig i
cargoes over the local docks at the peak. Things have been
humming but nothing to whati they will be beginning next
week. So if you got a grouch snap out of it!
If there is anybody in th e audience who knows how
or whether the Chinese war has turned out yet, will they
please stand up.
