\ EUESSITY OF MINING SPIRIT
NOT SO VERY many years ago everyone in Alaska was a miner.
If he was not actively engaged in operating or working in . mine, he
was out in the hills looking for a mining prospect, and if engaged in any
other enterprise, or holding a Government office, he was investing his
surplus, usually, in some mining enterprise; either helping to develop a
mine or grub-staking a prospector.
Mining, the wealth of mines, geological formations and the m • -•
favorable localities in which to prospect provided f»0 per cent of tin
topics of Alaskan conversation. Then the. war came laonc; with
came other activities; the old trained prospector had died off, made a
stake or allowed himself to he talked out of his vocation and as a result
mining interest in Alaska began to wane.
The people of the United States go in for favorite and popul'ir
industries. For the past decade mining has not been popular, regard
less of the fact that statistics prove that practically all our m-nerals are
being taken out in loss quantities yearly.
Any one in Alaska who knows conditions appreciates Ms* t i!u*‘.
the aggregate failures in tjje fishing industry exceed in monet. • ss th>
failures in the mining industry, and yet a dollar lost in m - :.r creates
more unfavorable comment than ten dollars lost In fishing. Tie- whole
of the United States needs a mining revival. Next to agn^t tire i; >s
the most important business of the nation. Alaska is a mits.i.g country;
its prosperity depends on the production of mines. It ha the mineral
wealth if the same is sought out. And hear in mind the !:e-t that the
slowing up of Alaska’s mineral production is as much ps .logical a
it is economical.
We should turn hack a few pages of Territorial hi-: ;• and all
become miners again.—Anchorage Times.
ALASKA NEEDS MORE ROADS MONEY
EFFORTS TO MAKE the Federal Highway and Pus-office Roul
acts applicable to Alaska are deserving of success. The law establishes
a Government fund <»f approximately $100,000,000 for building and main
taming highways in States, but no part of the money is available to
Alaska and Hawaii, the two territories. On the present, basis of oppor
tionment, which is figured on population, area and road mileage, the
Northland would be entitled to about $3,000,0(10 annually. Extension of
the Acts to Alaska has been urged on Congress by the American Rudd
ers Association and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and quit.? likely
the proposal will have the support of the United States Chamber <>f Com. |
Direct appropriations by Congress have bee® the chief source of
highway funds for the Northland, altho the Territorial Legislature like !
wise has borne a minor share of road and trail expenditures. Since 1905, I
when she United States Government first put its highway work in Alaska
on a systematic basis, the Federal authorities have spent about *7.500,000
and the Territorial officials $300,000: The Federal Government makes ,
use of two agencies in Its o nr them highway operations, the Alaska Road
Commission and Department of Agriculture. The Alaska Road Com
mission, which was constituted by Congress, is composed of Army officers
and really is under the War Department. The Commission has charge
of all Federal road work outside forest reserves, and it virtually directs
the expenditures of Territorial highway funds. The Agricultural De
partment’s road activities are within or adjacent to national forests. ]
Highway construction and maintenance in the Northern Territory [
almost were abandoned during and immediately after the World War, I
with the result that roads ad trails deteriorated. Their rehabilitation |
has just been effected. About 7.000 miles of highways and trails have
been built and are maintained with Federal and Territorial funds, and
in addition numerous bridges, ferries and tramways have been eonstruct
ed and kept in repair.
The Alaska Road Commission and the Government Railway now
are under the direction of a single official. Col. J. G. Steese. In the
$700,000 appropriated by the last Congress for all roads and trails in
the Territory, he will have only a comparatively small amount available
for highways in the railroad zone—a zone comprising about 50,000
square miles. Extension of the Federal Highway and Poetoffice Road
Acts to Alaska would provide funds somewhat commensurate with the
Territory's needs.—Seattle Times.
Completion of the Government Railway from Seward to Fairbanks
necessitates the building of “feeders” to connect it With nearby camps
and mining districts. These “feeders” are essential -not only to the
development of the country but also to the welfare of the railroad, which,
having been buMt at a cost of $56,000,000, must depend on connecting
highways for sufficient tonnage to meet operating expenses.
