adopted the suggestion of O. B.
Millett of the Iliamna Lake coun
try that the tax on furs be put
back and doubled and the money
thus collected which could easily
be $100,000 a year might be used
to subsidize the prospector. In
other words “Milady of the Furs”
would be thus indirectly aiding
the development of mining ”
Babcock and Downey took out
37 pounds of gold from their claim
with a small ball mill in less than
three months of operation this
season. “If we had the showing
which we’ve got anywhere in the
States, we would have 15,000 peo
ple there in no time,” Babcock
said. There are three good pros
| pects on Surprise Bay, one on
i Quartz Arm, one on North Arm
' and four on Skeen Arm, any or all
of which may become mines. “You
got to stay with them all the time,”
he said, “for you can’t make a
I mine doing a little gophering now
and then.” He spoke of going into
the Willow Creek district when it
was first discovered and referred
to the fact that hundreds of peo
ple flocked in there although they
had nothing to compare with the
showings in Nuka Bay.
He referred to the need of bet
ter transportation saying that
sometime they would not see a
boat for three months at stretch
or maybe not for a whole season.
He said that the Wildcat of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey reports
a harbor at Surprise bay as good
as anything on the entire West
coast, and that if ships could be
induced to call in there it would
j be a great help to the camp.
Dave Downey, when called upon
! to address the chamber members,
said he learned to talk to himself!
in the hills alright, but when it)
came to after-dinner orating to
an audience he was not there with
the goods and would let his part
ner speak for both. O. B. Millett,
who has large copper holdings in
the Iliamna country and who has
! been a strong booster for the II
i liarnna road, said that he had brot
up the subject of a tax on furs
I with Governor Parks for the pur
pose of raising money to help the
; prospector and that the Governor
was heartily in favor of it.
"The trapper does the country
no good but exhausts her resources
without giving any return. With a
; good stiff tax on furs, or in fact a
; doubling of the tax we did have,
1 we could raise a goodly sum that
! might be used for the benefit of
! the prospector and it wouldn’t
cost the Territory a cent.”
Both Mr. Babcock and Mr. Mil
lett, referred to the Seward Gate- ;
| way in their remarks saying that!
this paper had accomplished won
ders in bringing Nuka Bay and the j
Iliamna to the attention of the
world.
A. L. Peterson, former commiss
ioner at Seldovia, made a few' re
