AUGURIES FOR THE NEW YEAR
Despite the retrenchment of the Alaska Railroad, and
a general tightening up of public works as a part of the
program of national economy, the outlook for the Rail
road Belt, and especially Seward, is bright for 1932.
With men coming from the hills with an excellent
catch of fur, the announcement of a number of additional
rich placer and quartz strikes, the urge of the press of
the United States for greater gold production and the
advertising of Alaska along this line, we are, as the Seat
tle Times predicts, on the verge of a great mining boom.
The discovery of additional rich ledges of gold in
Willow Creek, assures the central portion of the Railroad
Belt of substantial progress, and the year-round employ
ment of many men.
The addition of the Mike Deegan and Fred Johnson’s
prospect to the shipping properties of Nuka Bay assures
a spirited era of development in that camp for next sum
mer. Added to this is the consistent production of the
Babcock and Downey mine and the success of the Alaska
Hills last summer, presaging more men being employed
and up in Moose Pass not for years has a season looked
so promising for resumption on larger scale and opening
o fnew properties. Seward is slowly gaining what will de
velop into big, permanent payrolls which are worth more
than all the money spent in Western Alaska by the Feder
al government
Despite the stress of depression in the States, it can
be pointed out that Western Alaska has weathered the
storm fairly well. Thus the outlook for 1932 is roseate in
the extreme, and it should engender new courage and new
effort to go forward with spirit and the assurance that
the year will be fruitful.
PERHAPS THEY’LL RETURN
Though a resident of Anchorage, yet Seward also
regrets the departure of Game Warden Homer Jewell,
and his charming wife, Who left on the last steamer for
Ketchikan, his new headquarters.
Jewell is one of those chaps who wear wear; the lon
ger one knows ‘em the better they are liked. An efficient
warden and a regular fellow^, thats a combination hard
to beat.
Their many Seward friends wish the popular young
couple lots of luck, naturally, but hope they may return
soon. It was a distinct loss to see them go and they were
sincere in saying they hated to go.
Crime among our alien population might be decreased
by preventing their association with our native popula
tion. _
Have you broke that New Year’s resolution yet?
Alaskan mountain climbers ought to be able to scale j
any Pullman berth with little difficulty.
