HEARTENING NEWS
Today’s dispatch from Bristol Bay that 90 per cent
of the expected red salmon pack (350,000 cases), has
already been realized is the best news the Ter
ritory could possibly hear and relegates to the back
ground the fears of pessimists that calamity faced
Alaska. Alaskans should always remember the bigger j
the fish packs are the more revenues for the Territory; j
greater appropriations for the many branches of the j
local government and plenty of work for all.
Alaska needs more great interests similar to the
packers; interests which will bring to a peak the diversi
fied but dormant natural resources. Industry—work—is!
the great cure-all for bureau-ridden Alaska.

EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT WORKER
We have in mind a cheery, upstanding and white- j
haired man, some 60 years of age, who seems to radiatej
good cheer and knows how to build and how to teach.
Familiar with social welfare work, he has set bones and
administered medicines to the native people at Igloo,
Kashega and Egegik and has erected a modern school
at Akutan; flown over the Nondalton district in which
region he was successful in securing a school and teach
erage as well as other buildings.
By the use of airplanes and radio he secured another
school at Newhalen, one which was very badly needed,
and which will serve a great many natives from both
up and down the Iliamna Lake country.
In fact this man we have in mind seems to have
wonderful insight as to the needs of these out-of-the
way places and apparently goes after what he wants in
an energetic, manner-of-faet way that is both pleasing
to the natives and to his immediate superiors.
E. W. Hunnicutt is the gentleman referred to and j
who happens to be in Seward today. He probably will j
blush when he reads this tribute but we believe in say-;
ing nice things about a sincere fellow-worker while lie j
is in the land of the living instead of laying a wreath |
over him when he passes on—and then singing a'
psalm. He can enjoy these few words now; when he’s ]
gone, what difference will it make.
Like a good soldier on the firing line, Mr. Hunni-!
cutt doesn’t ask questions; an order is just what the
word implies and he steps into whatever task is as
signed to him with a vigor which would put many men
half his age to shame. For years Hunnicutt has been
connected with the government in many and varied
positions and each and every one he has filled
to the highest degree of satisfaction to all concerned.
For some years past he has been associated with the
Bureau of Education, recently transferred to the Bur
eau of Indian Affairs.
For a number of years Mr. Hunnicutt was actively
interested in reindeer work in Alaska and it is a sub
ject on which he never becomes weary; his investiga
tions in this connection have carried him far afield and
his studies are continuous. So much so, that it is now
his desire to be transferred to that branch of the Feder
al Department. He has original ideas on this subject and
now desires the opportunity to put them into practice.
This is the type of worker Uncle Sam wants, one
who has initiative, ambition and deep interest in his
work. If it’s reindeer work he now desires; put him
on an important detail. He’ll make good, because back
of this veteran are years of practical experience, the
only thing of real value when the final summing up is
made.

A CAPABLE MAN FOR THE JOB
The appointment, recently made by Secretary Hyde
of the Department of Agriculture, of Andrew A. Simons,
of Lakeview, Kenai Lake, as Alaska Game Commissioner
from the Third Judicial Division to succeed Dr. William
H. Chase, whose four-year term expired June 30, puts
into an important Territorial position one of the best
known guides; one of the few who have acquired na
tional reputation.
Mr. Simons’ wide acquaintance with prospectors and
trappers and his knowledge of wild-life conditions in
Alaska, particularly in this, the Third Division, is sec
ond to none.
The selection of Mr.. Simons was a happy one in
that the public in general have the utmost confidence
in his judgment.

DIAMOND DRILL IS
ISED TO PROSPECT
PLACER III NEW
LOVELOCK, Nev., July 8. (/P)— j
Pershing county started on its :
first diamond drilling program re- !
cently when Paul Gunia of Pitts- j
burgh, Pa., arrived and took charge j j
of the outfit that will explore the j
placer ground owned by Harry E. i
Springer in Rabbit Hole Canyon, i
four miles southwest of Sulphur, 1
says the Denver Mining Record.
The Pennsylvania Drilling Com- ;
pany of Pittsburgh is the owning
and operatng company of the ma
chinery and Harry Springer the
resident agent. It is understood
that the project is going forward
on a cooperative contract between
Mr. Springer and the company.
Location work on the property
has shown good values. By means
of the drilling method used, the
ground will be explored to bed
rock. Springer stating that they
would be lucky to hit it at 120
feet.
Advantages held out for the
drilling method of exploration are
numerous. It is said to be cheap
er to drill a hole from five to three
inches in diameter, getting sam- I
pies every yard, than dig an ex
pensive tunnel. Holes can be put
in at any angle. The casings
serve as the drill in soft ground.
When boulders are encountered or
bedrock hit, a diamond drill is
put down thru the casing and
cuts away obstructions. Samples
obtained are not mutilated but
the nature of the deposit as well
as its content can be easily learn
ed. The diamond drill is studied
with diamonds which do the cut
ting. The drill alone is said to
cost from $1,500 up.
The type of exploration is said
to be best adapted to the location
of large bodies of ore. When a
drilling program is started, as a
rule if nothing is discovered in
the first hole, the work is cut off
short. The results of drilling de
termine the number of holes that
will be put down.
