PRESIDENT MIST VIST ALASKA TO I'LAX ITS Fl'TURE
President Harding still contemplates a vist to Alaska during the com
ing summer.
No jaunt he could make would be so productive of good for the terri
tory. for his administration or for his fame 111 history.
Some president's name w.U be linked with the great achievement of
opening t! e "last American west" to development and settlement.
The Times believes that president will be Warren G. Harding.
It knows he will be so remembered in history it he will but visit the
Northland and see for himself what has to be done.
Nothing now stands between Alaska and a period of tremendous de
velopment save the unfriendly attitude of the federal government.
There are so many bureaus which exist only because they conserve,
regulate or control something in the territory, that there is nothing sav>j
metal mining and tisheries that < an be carried on successfully.
There Is enough wood suitable for paper making there to keep a dozen
—a score— of mills working tor a century lo come. Alaska has one small
taper mill.
Alaska should supply all its own coal anil export to the United States
and forelgu countries. Its total production last year was 61.111 tons.
Alaska can grow wheat, other grains, small fruits and favors dairying.
Duriug the filial year 1S>21. It raided ha' : <*0U bushels of wheat.
During the decade from IS 10 to 1&20. us white population decreased
10,000.
The fault Is not with Alaska. It could support a population of a half
t:>i'!ion. perhaps mn.'o. ir. co'» tOre
It could supply raw materials in vest quantity for its own industries
»nd for export.
It could develop manufactures of various kinds and could produce
vastly more farm products than its own population could consume.
The president needs but visit Alaska to perceive all these facts.
He never will know the truth unless he does visit it.
Ti e Times, for one. Is convinced that if he does journey to the north
land early In 1!«22. that ear will w.tuc t the opeuing of its greatest era
of development.
And to Mr Harding will go the fame of opening the door to opportun
ity for America's "Last West."—Seattle Times.
UILI.IONS OK WKALTII (JO lSKCJCING
Two outstanding facts rome to us in the ttrst report of the new gover
nor of Alaska, the Hon. Scott lione. He tells us in one paragraph that
in our northern territor> tliTt- one hundred and fifty billions of dollarB
of wealth, which is. conservatively, just alwut the wealth of the whole I'ul
t. d States today.
In another paragraph Mr Hone cites the discouraging fact that the to
tal population (civilized) of Alaska DECREASED 10.000 from 4>).b00 dur
ing the decade just ended. In other words, this vast country of six hund
red thousand square miles—or nearly four hundred million acres—is oc
cupied by only 30.000 people, or one to every 13.000 acres.
How can 30,0"0 people, no matter how energetic, develop a hundred
and fifty millions of wealth.
Alaska needs people, good, stout, smart Americans, who know what
wealth is when they see it. and how then to get It out.
Why don't some of the folks who insist on hunting new lands to con
quer go where untold wealth is awaiting for some one to take possession
of it? The answer is that we all have yen led notions about Alaska being
fiercely cold. Yet Stefansson. the Iowa explorer, who has spent fourteen
years wandering around the Arctic just north of Alaska, tells us that the
4U-year old l". S weather bureau ai Cape Barrow, at the uorthem tip of
Alaska, las never registered a tempera)ure Iri all those years that went
lower than about 50 degrees below zero. At the same time, millions of
people live in American states and Canadian provinces, where the minimum
thermometer readings have been 50 to U5, and even 75 degrees below zero.
— Exchange.
The greatest foolishness a man can be guilty of is argument against an
industry or concern that is living in a town. Your neighbor may be hav
iug trouble to make both ends meet and may have his opinion of the way
a town should be run. but if he keeps it to himself and plugs along and
tries to make it better he is doing more good than the man with a chip on
his shoulder.—Seward Gateway.
Secretary Fall says he is coming to Alaska to help put the finishing
touches on the railroad. If he'll first finish off the members of the Inter
state commerce commission that fixed the states-plus freight tariff we'll al
low him to work without a union card.—Anchorage Times.

Gold Commissioner Receives Official
Copy From Ottawa—Royalty
on Silver 15 Mill Per Ox.
Oold Commissioner Oeorge P.
Mackenzie has received from Ottawa
the following certified copy of a re
port of the committee of the privy
council, approved ly his excellency
the governor-gene/al on the 17th
December, 1921, providing for the
export of silver-lead ore from Yu
kou Territory:
Privy Council, Canada
The committee of the privy coun
cil huve hud before them a report
dated 30th NovemNer, 1921, from
the minister of the Interior, submit
ting thai by section 103 of the regu
lations for the disposal of quartz
mining claims on Dominion lauds
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan. Alberta
the N'orthwest Territories and the
Yukon Territory, approved by order
in council of the i5th May, 1917,
It is provided thai all grants and
leases issued under the provisions of
the said regulations shall be sub
ject to the provision that all ores or
minerals mined from locations des
cribed In such grants or leases shall
bo treated and rfflned within the
Dominion of Canada, so as to yield
retined metal or otoer product suit
able for direct use in the arts, with
out further treatment, in default
whereof the grant or lease shall be
and become null and void
The minister states that discovery
has been made of a large deposit of
silver-lead ore in t.ie Mayo dis.rUt
of the Yukon Terr.tory and a con
siderable quanti'v of ihis ore ap
pears to have bfon mined l'he only
Canadian smelter* on the 1'acitic
coast at which there is any posgi
billty of having this ore economical
ly treated are at Tiail and Anyox. in
the province of British Columbia,
but In neither case Is the smelter
prepared to accept the Yukon ore
for treatment. 11 would appear,
therefore, that the operation ot the
mines must necessarily cease unless
the operators are t«rmitted to have
the ore recovered from such oper
ations treated outside of Canada,
and application has been made to the
department of the .nterlor tliat this!
permission be for the present grant- j
ed. otherwise operations for the re-J
covery of mineral-bearing ores in j
the Yukon Terrftoiy cannot be con-j
tinued.
The conditions alove set forth are I
not contemplated by the regula
tions at present in force and it is not
in the public interest to hamper the
industry, while at the same time
the operators must be impressed
with the necessity uf exercising due
diligence in providing the necessary
facilit.es in Canada for the efficient
treatment and refining of all such
ores of the said te/ritory.
The minister, therefore, recom
mends that authority be granted for
a period of one year—with authority'
to the minister of the interior to ex
tend not exceeding five years—from
the 1st Pecei'iher. 1921,—for the
treatment outride Canada of ores
mined in the Yukon Terr.tory, sub-'
jeet to the payme it of royalvj' on j
the sales of the products of such |
ores as are prescribed by the regu
lations for the disposal of quartz
mining claims on Dominion lands,
which In the case of silver shall he
at the rate of 15 mills per ounce,
and in the case of lead at the rate
of ten cents per hundredweight.
The committee concurs in the fore
going recmnr endat.on and submiisj
the same for approval.
