Interior, the San Francisco *j
Chamber of Commerce has ap- *j
a
pointed an Alaska committee to 5
deal with the city’s trade with *1
the territory. I]
The chamber has also decided
to send an excursion of business
men up to Fairbanks next sum
mer with the idea of promoting
business. It is probable those ex
cursions will become an annual
feature.
Sawyer, said he is confident
San Francisco can build up a
very large trade with Alaska.
He is in receipt from Secre- *:
tary Wilbur’s office of a copy of •;
the report of 14 geologists who •;
were sent by the government to
study the varied mining possi
tilities of Alaska.
“Those reports plainly indicate
profitable gold mining on a mini -
ber of lodes they have definitely <
located; also lodes already locat- !j
ed by private individuals. One of »j
the latter is owned by John Me
Ginn of Burlingame. The experts
say that lode contains 1,COO,000
tons of ore which runs from $4
to $5 in gold per ton.”
He also stated: “The geolog
ists mentioned other gold lodes
and locations of copper, zinc,
lead, silver, tungsten, molybden
um, titanium, chromium, anti
mony, mercury and vast deposits
of anthracite coal.”
