HELPS GREAT INDUSTRY
The Engineer’s Bulletin for June, a special gold
mining edition, issued by the Colorado Society of Engi
neers, has some good things to say about the Denver
Mining Record, the newspaper which The Gateway has
always highly commended editorially and from which
much of the national mining news is republished.
Again we say, Alaskans interested in mining, should
subscribe to this worthy newspaper. But read what the
Engineer’s Bulletin had to say under the heading, “An
Ardent Supporter of Gold Mining.”
‘•Mining news of the western United States as well as
Alaska, Canada and Mexico is featured in the Denver Mining
Record that boasts a circulation among mining investors in
the United States and abroad of 10,000 copies each week.
This mining newspaper is published every Saturday and has
a large following. The publication reflects the editorial abil
ity of Charles E. Newmeyer who got his first training in the
boom days of Cripple Creek in the late nineties. He has been
on the editorial staff of this newspaper for over 25 years.
John A. Moyer, another Colorado newspaper man, is business
manager of the Denver Mining Record. Several years ago
Moyer and Newmeyer purchased the publication and have been
quite successful in extending its circulation and influence.
‘‘The Denver Mining Record has taken an advanced posi
tion to improve the merit of mining promotion in the West.
A higher standard of ethics in the promotion of mining com
panies has been advocated and fought for by this newspaper
and the higher standard of companies in the West at this
time is in part due to the stand taken by the Denver Mining
Record against questionable promotion methods. Those who
desire sample copies of this weekly mining newspaper should
address, Denver Mining Record. Denver, Colorado. The office
of the publication has for over 25 years been located at 1829
Champa Street, Denver, Colorado.”
What chance has a forest fire got in this area of1
the Chugach National Forest when a Fire Warden such j
as Wm. Sherman and his crew of efficient men are in ;
the field? Not a chance, if one should ask us. Look at
the record this season; five fires and all conquered be
fore they had burned more than two acres. If that
isn’t a mark for other crews to shoot at, we’ll eat our
brown derby.
Commercial vessels in the Panama Canal stopped
and sidled over to the bank a few days ago, to make;
a clear course for a boat which was rushing a doctor to
some sick men. Now and then something comes up to 1
indicate that business is not the most important thing
in the world, although the general trend of life makes it
seeni *that' business is to be considered not only before
pleasure, but before everything else, as well.

An Alaska night with its myriad showers of silver
northern stars in wild disarray is a beauteous sight.
Long shafts of orange Are, of Vermillion, or tawny
yellow, racing across the starry dome over head to melt
lew on the horizon in astonishing splendor—the aurora
borealis of the Northland.
