THE M UK Lift TRAIL
(Continued front Page 1')
That, again, would seem to. be un
just ii.scrim iuirtion..
In view of that, this question was
put to a rcspour 'bl-' Treasury official
on behalf of the Delegates Would not
the word concentrates be applicable
be applicable to sand,, quicksilver: and
gold, or sand and gold, obtained as a
result of. placer operation, fully as
much as to concentrates derived from
processing free milling ore 1
The official, declined to. commit hum
self offiially, but he did say be saw no
reason, why the abowe construction
should not be good.
If that interpretation, is followed,
then, the. placer operator could place
himself in the highly favorable posi
tion of exporter merely by shipping
the clean-up ass taken from the boxes,
without separating the gold from the !
sand or quicksilver.
Because of. the present uncertainty,
it is advised,, if. some-.-classification is.
not made within a short time, that
ryuuuuuwmug’ emfwy vgq; vxgk zfift
Alaska miners apply to the Collector
of Cur toms, for exact rulings. Iiu that
eyent the Treasury Department would
probably have to make exact defini
tions,, something which it. appears
loath to d». now. Its. present attitude
is taken, not because it wishes to
raise uncertainties, but because it
wishes to test each: step carefhlly and
view each operation with' the idea of?
thfe good of the entire nation in< mind.;

Following distributiorr of. the report
of the International Highway Com- j
• mission by Delegate Dimond, eom-J
mendatory letters have commenced to
come in. The following one,, received!
hy Frank A. Seiberling, president of
the Seiberling Rubber Company;;; is;
typical:
“I have your letter of the 14th with
copy of publication-, of' the Interna*
tional Highway Commission. I am
very much in favor of thec project and I
am writing the President as you sug
gest
“If this highway can be built, it is
destined to open up> enorrmous min
eral resources in Alaska that other
wise wiH ramaiiL undeveloped for
many, years,, and in> view of the policy
of our government to> extend its pub
lic improvements—evidenced by the
Columbia project which is now under
way—you have: reason to expect that
this Alaska highway project will re
ceive the favorable support of Gov
ernment authorities..
“Success to yous efforts!”
Residents of. Alaska’s coastal sec
tions who are accustomed to rain
would' have found" plenty of it in
Washington this week. A storm beat
ing up from the tropics struck this
city Thursday and in\ the 24-hour
period during which it lasted rainfall
amounted to, 5.88 inches- A high wind
accompanied the rain- and throughout
this section much damage was done.

ton to take part in the economic re
hab; litation- of the nation now under

to be administrative’ assistant to
Harold L. Icke’s in the latter’s ca

one of the key positions of the Gov
ernment. He was formally personal
officer of the Reconstruction Finanee
COrporation.

with modern transportation facilities.
That was strikingly illustrated by

Gilmore of Ketchikan and Mrs. Gil

his departure from Ketchikan. Ar
