KIND OF MEN NEEDED
The advent of H. S. Graves, Peter Brevik and Lars
Hylen, who have initiated steps for launching big devel
opments at Good News Bay, which promises to take its
place among ithe platinum producing regions of the world,
marks a forward step in the march of progress setting in
for Alaska.
Despite its distance from Seward and many settled
points, whatever happens at Good News Bay is bound to
reflect itself in the influence it will have upon the Terri
tory as a whole, and attraction of attention to the fact
that this great storehouse of precious metals is the one
best bet on the American continent.
Like a little trickle down a mountain, the mining era
of Alaska is gaining volume and momentum until the
near future promises a flood of prospectors and capital
with which to develop their finds.
The presence of Messrs. Graves and associates is the
second step in bringing Good News Bay to .the front. Thus
Alaska needs many men of this kind, who are possessed
of vision and courage and the experience to wrest suc
cess from anything of merit.
Such men do not act upon the suggestion of others.
They consider a problem from its various angles, arrive
at a decision and map their course accordingly. It is such
men who lift a country from its primitive jthralldom and
elevate it to a higher commercial, industrial and social
plane. They come as a tonic to stimulate activities and by
their energies create a contagion which emboldens others
to act.
Thus we welcome this expression of faith and confi
dence in the lode and placer possibilities of the Territory
and wish the owners of the big platinum deposit every
success.
At least the worse he can expect is that his Little
Blight Eyes will return from the Olympiad a prizefight
er, torreador, lion tamer, traffic cop or structural steel i
erector.
A razor manufacturer rises to the defense of Alaba
ma ^vvhich is accorded the stigma of having more negroes
killing each other than in any other portion of the nation.
Now if the return of prosperity would show some
of the speed being displayed at the Olympiad.
Hitler has 220 seats, hence when he sits he becomes
a multitude.
Now we are to have an army of “Grey Shirts.” But
where will they get the shirts?

Mining activities in the Kouga
rok are picking up by leaps and
bounds, says Harry Langiey, Demo
cratic aspirant to the Alaska legis
lature. Louis* Nashenwing, who is
operating on Dahl creek, is busily I
engaged in sluicing and indications
point to a good season’s work due
to the abundance of water.
On Coffee creek, Ed Hoven and
two men are sluicing the gold from
gravel, with plenty of water.
A1 Carey and a crew of men, on
Dahl creek, are making fine pro
gress in sluicing, while Harvey
Grant is doing some drilling.
The Henry creek gold dredging
company, with a crew of nine men,
are hard at work on the dredge.
C. E. Hallberg, with a crew of
five men, are carrying on sluicing
and hydraulic operations with ex
cellent success on Merritt’s gulch.
The Lorane brothers, and seven
men, are carrying on extensive op
erations in the Nome area and are
showing splendid progress with the
prospects of a good cleanup this
season.
Nick Nicon, George Bodis and
others are working hard on Dick
creek and prospects look great.
Grant Laiblin, Bill Graham and
George Laiblin are working a claim
up near Iron creek where good gold
values have been uncovered.
It is reported today that Capt.
Sather expected to leave for Nuka
Bay some time Saturday.
Today’s bulletin reports that the
SS Yukon, of the A. S. S. Co., will

Among those from Anchorage
who are now at Nuka Bay pros
pecting is George Johnson, well
known art photographer, big game
guide and mine owner. Accompa
nied by his son, Mr. Johnson arriv
ed at Nuka Bay five weeks ago
equipped with dory and outboard
engine.
Mr. Johnson has already secured
handsome returns from mine in
vestment, having disposed of an
interest in a Southeastern mine for
a goodly sum. He is a great lover
of the big outdoors and Junior
shares this spirit. If Mr. Johnson
finds something of value he will be
prepared to immediately begin de
velopment.
