LET US SHOW' THEM
In view of the fact that Vancouver, B. C., mining men
are exhibiting interest in Alaska properties and that the
new mining exchange recently organized in Seattle is
showing a rash of the same malady, the Seward Gateway
would like to give them a shot in the arm to increase their
fever.
To do this we will ship duplicate samples of ore,
selected from the mines in this vicinity. We ask the
earnest cooperation of the mining men that fair and hon
est samples be sent in, with a frank explanation of the
known extent of the vein, just where it is located, how
much development work has been done and what might
be proposed to do for further development. The Gateway
believes that the mining men of Northwestern United
States and Southwestern Canada may welcome samples
of ore that we have been trying to tell them about and
which come chiefly from new prospects that we firmly be
lieve will become great mines. If a better understanding
c^n be promoted The Gateway is prepared to pay the
■freight. Samples as big as the double-fist will be suffi
cient with, as we say, a complete description of the ore as
far as the prospector knows. Two samples should be sent
The Gate wav in order that two complete displays may
bt gotten together. It is our belief that these displays
will go a long way to supplement the many thousands of
words that we have written about the hard-rock possibili
ties of Alaska and we don’t bar any district in Alaska that!

the following: merchandising, 9 percent; manufacturing,
13 percent; farming, 17 percent; mining 67, percent.
Yes, prohibition was slipped over on us, all right. But
at that time everybody was drunk and didn’t know what
