The Ketchikan miner., 1908-07-18

heart. 5 The sample case on the Alaska Steamship Company's dock has some bare shelves and thoughtful tourist may well wonder if an entire mining district ], which is described with such glowing accounts, can not pro- duce enough presentable ore to fill one small display case. There are one excellent samples displayed, but any mining man in town can name oozens of mines and prospects with fine ore which could easily fill fifty cases the size of this one. And. yet every arriving passenger is confronted with partly filled display case,. de- corated with fables that have fallen loose, standing as an advertisement of one of the greatest mining countries on the face of the earth! As often stated before, samples for this case will be carried free by courtesy of the Union Steamship company and it should be filled to oyerfowng, and mighty soon.
