IDECLAUES CAPITAL IN BIG
NEED FOR CASSIAR MINING
Don’t go into the Cassiar gold
ifield without a big grubstake, is the
:advice of R, W. (Bob) Martin, vet
eran Alaskar mining operator, who
'Was in Seattle recently with the first
nuggets from the new Canadian gold
1 fields.
The field is rich in virgin gold, he
ftold the Seattle Union Record, but it
■needs capital to develop it. Martin
.denied rumors that the Cassiar
[Strike was started to commercialize
.■stores and trading posts there.
In his pocket Martin brought a
- vial containing 12 ounces of coarse
[gold, worth 8216 when he arrived
from Wrangell. “Already about 400
.ounces have been taken out of Gold
Pan creek,, and we expect big re
turns this fall,” he said.

P. O. Box 1698, Anchorage, Alaska
says McKinley park will
BE GREAT TOURIST MECCA
Anchorage Times.
Over two hundred tourists visited
in McKinley National Park this sum
mer, according to S. R. Capps, gov
ernment geologist, who arrived in An
chorage on yesterday afternoon’s
train from o three-months’ trip
through Interior Alaska. Mr. Capps
says that the Alaska Road Commis
sion is doing good work on the road
being built in the park, and it is now
finished to Sanctuary river. When
the road is built through to the base I
of Mount McKinley he said he be-1
lieved the park would be a great
mecca for tourists, as the natural 1
scenery, the wild life and other at- !
tractions so dicerent from anything
seen outside would prove a great
drawing card. j
While traveling through the park
Mr. Capps declared he saw thousands
of mountain sheep and caribou, one
herd of caribou numbering about 15,-,
000 head.
Mr. Capps left Anchorage for Me-:
Kinley Park June 11, and with Elmer;
Larson and M. L. Eskart and six j
pack horses they took their outfit in i
through the park to the Kantisnna .
district. They went down to Mount*
Dali and to the head of the Ton 7. a no j
river, in the Kuskokwim district. Mr.
Capps said they found strong min
eralization all along the face of the
Alaska range but owing to it being
so far from transportation very little
prospecting had been done in the re- i
Jlion. j
The party passed through Kan
; tishna on the way back, and, accord
ing to Mr. Capps, .he prospectors
and miners are operating along the
same lines this year as they have
done in the past. There are a number
of small outfits workmg there, mostly
on placer ground, and this season will
prove to be about normal.
Mr. Capps decided that after the
! jrty got beyond the Copper moun
tains they never saw a human being
for over a month.
