REVIVAL OF ALASKA GOLD
MINES
——x
When it is considered that in
this var't gold country of Alaska,
only geld from the surface, con
servatively speaking, has been
mined and that, in the most
prominent districts, it does net
require a Moses to realize the
present geld mining revival now
speeding throughout the nation
will bo reflected in the Territory
of Alaska; and that, immedi
ately.
Gold appears to be the only
ba°e met?.! worth mining during
this present economic situation.
Search?* of gold has emphasized
the importance of gold mines to
the. nation.
With the practical and suc
cessful demonstration of operat
ing and dividend-paying con
cerns such as those formed in
Interior Alaska—the Hammond
interests. Fairbanks Exploration
Company, in the Willow and
Cache Creek areas and in and
near Juneau, the Alaska-Juneau
property and the Chichagoff—it
is seen capital is the only re
ouirement. And, capital, because
all other investment fields have
proven more or less insecure, Is
turning its eyes toward the op
portunities afforded by the basic
wealth of America—gold!
The pendulum has turned;
conditions have never been more
favorable for resumption of ac
quiring clean honest wealth and
v/ith the favorable report of the
Geological Survey following ins
1931 reconnaissance of the Alas
ka Railroad belt, the spring of
1932, next year, will be marked
by a decided gold mining revival
which may bring Alaska to the
peak, for 1932, as the greatest
gold producing country in the
world.—Gateway.
