TERRITORY POINTED
TO AS “SPINSTERS’ ”
PARADISE BY STEESE
In addition to his multitudinous
duties as Chairman of tba Alaskan
Engineering Commission, President
Of the Alaska Road Commission, Dis
trict Engineer for the Board of
Rivers and Harbors, and others. Col.
James G. Steose has essayed a Tole
of "cupid for Alaska.” according to
the Reward Gateway. The Reward
paper recently carried an article
which It- credited to a ‘‘San Fran
cisco paper" in which Col. Steesp is j
quoted as saying that Alaska “is the
spinsters' paradise.”
The story as it appeared in the
Gateway follows:
“This is an advertisement. It is in
tended to call the attention of girls
to tile opportunities afforded by Alas
ka. That is opportunities for get
ting married.
"Col. James G. Steese, president of
the Alaska Road Commission, said
the other day that ‘Alaska is the
spinsters’ paradise.’ The splendid
qrmy of young men engaged in Alas
kan interests are often forced to
go to the States for brides. The sup
ply of women in Alaska does not
equal the demand. To my mind |
there is no more glorious country to!
live In. There Is something about j
Alaska that gets into your blood.!
Ton may pine for the States, until,
lo sheer hunger of soul, you manage j
to get back to them but once there j
yon cannot wait to return to Alaska.
"The men of Alaska are the pio
neer type. They are strong, vigorous,
healthy, engaged In the greatest
business in the world, which is that
of subduing nature and making the
wilderness into a garden.
"Of course this calls for a similar
type <of girl. Anemic girls and those
whose ambition is to have ‘straw
berries, sugar and cream, ait on a
cushion and sew a fine seam,’ need
not apply. But girls of spirit, and
healthy girls, who love outdoors and
achievement, girls who want to be
mates for strong men and bring
wholesome offspring Into the world, In
short girls of good Bound stock and
blood, ought to pay some attention
to the prospects offered by Alaska.”

MINING EXPERT SAYS
ISKUT OUTLOOK GOOD
“The valley of the Iskut River has
the same general roik formation as
Portland Canal, and it is ail abso
lute certainty that the Iskut section
is a continuation of the Portland
Canal Belt, and there is no reason
for thinking that the Iskut section
is Iprs highly mineralized than any
other portion of the same belt," said
George A. Clothier, R C. Government
Resident Engineer for No. 1 Northern
District, when seen at the Wrangell
Hotel upon his return from a trip up
the Iskut river. Continuing. Mr.
Clothier said:
"The Iskut mineralized section
forms a part of the eastern contact
belt that extends up the coast line,
and includes such big mines as the
Granby, Rrittania. and Premier, and
following this belt north comes the
Atlin District with the Engineer
mine and others, and upon going
Still farther north we find the Mayo
district with the famous Keno hill.
“The Iskut is an unknown and un
inhabited region that is a paradise
for prospectors. In my reports I
shall try to shew that the prospectors
today have thp same chances In the
Iskut District as they had in the
Portland Canal region in the early
days.
"The Iskut is very accessible; in
fact, there are no difficulties to he
encountered 4n getting into this dis
trict worth mentioning. The Iskut
abounds in game, and the prospec
tor has no difficulty in keeping his
grocery bills within hounds. I do
not believe there is a better coun
try anywhere for the prospector to
day.
"It is my belief that the only reason
why the Iskut has not become known
to the world long ago is that it has
not been prospected. What that re
gion needs above everything else Is
prospectors. While geologists are
all right, it is the bona fide pros
pector that makes mines; and I
have no doubt whatever that pros
pelting end development would make
this region one of the greatest min
ing regions in the country.
"I also regard the Stikine River as
good prospecting. The country along
the Stikine above the Scud River up
to the Devil’s Elbow Is an excellent
district for prospectors. And up to
the present time prospectors have
scarcely ever been known to go half
a mile away from the hanks of the
Stikine River.”—fWrangell Sentinel).
FORMER MAYOR AND
POLITICIAN IS RICH
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug lit—Eu
gene Schmitz, former Mayor, Super
visor and candidate for Mayor, is
celebrating in a new role.
Tt is that of a successful mining
magnate.
Advices from his holdings in Cal
averas county, into whfch Schmitz
has snnk many thousands of dollars
in the past 10 years, say that a rich
gold-bearing vein has been struck.
Preliminary assay of the ore in
dicates that it is worth $12 in gold
to the ton. and that* It ran be suc
cessfully mined at $2.85 per ton.
A. L. Boyle, brother of Emmett
T. Royle, former governor of Ne
vada, Is the engineer in charge.
Boyle has staked out a large block
of the gold-bearing quartz and work
on this will be rushed ahead.
Attorney Frank C. Drew and Her
bert Schmitz, brother of the Super
visor, are Schimtz' associates in the
enterprise.

Famous Bugle Call Used
To Interpret Spirit
of the Day
New York City.—Psychologists
who predicate human action from
observation of humans at play,
say that America is due for a
long era of peace,- They draw
this conclusion partly from a
study of the songs and games
which engross the energetic
younger generation just now.
The new peace conference game
with its pawns all moving for
harmony, which children have
substituted for checkers, is an in
teresting example. So is “Good
Night,” a waltz built on the bugle
theme of “taps.” This song
sounds the peaceful end of the
dance on most ball room floors
about “three o’clock in the morn
ing,” these days.
Con Conrad, who wrote it, says
he’s finishing what George Cohan
began when he built “Over There"
on reveille.
“It’s a sort of v.’ay of letting
the public in on a grand celebra
tion of the end of th»«var,” Mr.
Conrad explains. “Using ‘taps’
to close the dance today seems to
gmphasize that it’s really over,
over there.’
“I have just returned from two
years in Europe where 1 tried
several times to write the song,
but the chaotic conditions got un
der my skin and 1 simply could
not work on a relaxing peaceful
tune. But here at home I could
immediately sense that for us
anyway, it really is ‘over. ”
