The Ketchikan miner., 1914-05-22
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY
E. II. Wilson. a mlnlng and

consulting engineer, with headquarters at San Francisco, is a local visitor, waiting for the Admiral Sampson, which he will board as guest of President Alexander of the Ad- miral Line for trip to the westward. Mir. Wilson is an official of the Montana Smell- ing Company, and as such is interested in the mineral re- sources of Alaska. To the Miner Man this morning, he said: "It seems to me that the one thing in particular and a. bove all others that this dis trict needs is advertising. Take myself for instance, l have been coming to Alaska for the past twenty-siX years, and have always supposed that Ketchi- kan's chief resources and pos sibility laid in her fishing, but this time 1 happened to have a few days to spend here after coming over from Prince Rup- ert, and while waiting for the Admiral Sampson to come a. long, and naturally 1 got to talking about mining and made the discovery that Ketchikan had some real mineral pos abilities which are being work ed and developed and which will eventually make real mines. l have interests ill the neighborhood of Valdez, and also in the interior of Alaska, but this in the first time that this regions minerals were
 
 ever brought to my attention.
 "The whole of the United States, and for that matter the World in general, is interested in Alaska at this time. The probabilities of the government opening her up has made her the focal point of the eyes of money everywhere, and adver- Using of some kind is the ouly way in which that money, anxiously seeking investment, can learn of the possibilities of this locality. There are spec imens of ore scattered around the town, some of them i'll the cabinet there across the street, and others in various other place, but they are inadequate In the first place they cannot be seen until a man is here OF the ground, and even then they fail to state the distance the properties are from Ketchikan, or whom their owners are.
 Juneau and Valdez are both widely known in the mining world, because they have, been advertised, and I am satisfied from what 1 have learned in the past few days that the pos abilities here are just as good as either of those two places were few years ago. They have advertised themselves. ketchlkan hasn't, and is gen. erally looked upon as a mere fishing village instead of a prosperous little city, the cen ter of a district of great prom ise.n

There is no doubt but that there will be much more travel fhis way the present season to and from the interior than for several years and since the boom days of the early history of the country. This will be the direct result of the late deal by which the White Pass company secured control of the lower river lines and White horse will profit largely by the change. We must give Presi- dent Dickeson credit for doing things, and big things at that. -Whitehorse Star.

 The purchase of the North ern Navigation fleet by the White Pass and the beginning of government railroad work ln Alaska, it is said, will re- suit i'll the extension of the White Pass railroad to Lower Labarge. The building of such line would lengthen the Yukon season by two or three weeks. It is generally two weeks after the ice is out of the Yukon river before it is possible to send a steamer through the lake.

OPPORTUNITY.

First Mortgage Gold Bonds, secured
by improved farms, are superior in
many respects and much more desira-
bic as an investment. than many of the
bonds listed on the Stock Exchange.
They are not effected by strikes,
political eccentricities or stock market
manipulations. They do not fuctuate.
For safety, stability and attractive
income the farm mortgage stands at
the head with few, equals and no su-
periors.
For the benefit of those of small
means we have Gold Bonds in denomin-
atoms of $4,000, netting So interest.
No expense in collecting interest or
principal.
This puts all classes of investors on a
level and is certainly the small inves-
tors opportunity.
For select first mortgages from 500
to $4,000, on improved farms see or

have been nothing more degrading.
The stage was the acme of all that
was vilest in the world. They had
come UP to town, without announcing
their intention, and were now await
ing the rising of the curtain upon the
first act of "The Merchant of Venice.
Portia does not appear at the be-
ginning of that play. And before she
had come on the stage the old people
were staring in wonder at the mag
nifcence of the setting More than
that, in place of the immortality
which they had expected to find in
culcated, they found a story, so grip
ping, so pathetic, and withal so true
that they were speIbound.
But when Portia appeared they
leaned forward with a revival of their
old terror Portia was Lucy!-Miss
Margaret Lake, as she was billed. 1t
was true, then!
The old woman pressed her hus-
bands hand again.
''Will, did you see?" she said in
mournful tones.
He nodded. But the look on his
face was not so sombre and depressed
as his wife had expected.
MARY" he exclaimed, turning
round in his seat, 'do you know they
are applauding her!LLucy~
There was almost an expression of
PRIDE. but there was also bewilder-
ment. His Lucy! Their little girl!
How could this be she!
"Sh-sh!" said those about them
warningiy, as the old couple whis-
pered together.
So the play went on toward it's dra-
matte finale. And now William Null
Inns and his wife were following the
developments with bated breath. And
their lifelong horror of the stage was
forgotten. And when the great trial
scene came on, and Shylock sharpen

She knew how deeply he felt upon the
subject.
It was, for those simple minds,
tragic situation. Their daughter Lucy
had left the farm three years before.
She had written home often, detail
