MINING EXPE R I |S SUGGESTED
 FUR ALASKA

Thomas Riggs, Jr., of the Alaska Engineering Commission, who passed through Cordova the other day on his way from Fairbanks to Seward, to consult with Chairman Edes. believes that there would be greater develop ment in Alaska if the territory em- ployed an expert mining engineer whose duty it would be to make re- ports on all likely looking properties.
 Mir. Riggs would have the territory pay the salary of this engineer and make the owners of the property pay only the actual expenses of the en- gineer while he was examining their property. Then if the report of the government engineer was favorable, many capitalists would be inclined to pay for a thorough examination of the various properties, while as con- ditions are at the present time, they dislike to expend some five or six thousand dollars for the superficial examination.
 To keep the office out of politics, s6 that the territory would be assured of a good man at all times, he sug gests that it would be well to let the secretary of the interior select a competent man from the civil service list.
 During the last few years it has been the experience of many holders of mining properties that capitalists would look over their property if they would pay for part or all the expenses of the superficial or preliminary ex-
 animation. If this could be avoided

PLENTY OF MONEY FOR
 DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA

Banker Hayden. a multi-milionarie of Boston, who holds vast mining in- terests in all parts of the world, states that more money than ever will be put into development work in Alaska this coming summer and that the northern mining investors. The certainty that after the present war the demand for metals will be heavy and will con- tinue for many years is so certain that bankers and mining men are planning to make heavy investments in mines.

many of them. as we'll as Mir. Riggs
 think that there would be more money invested, as there are many good prop critics going begging because of the fact that outside people dislike to take a chance on property so far away.
