from Knik, was later improved only from Wasilla on the government railroad and is now an excellent gravel road and has with it's im- provement given progressive aid to the new substantial quartz dis trict of Willow creek.
 "In one additional respect the provision of roads in our present state of development demands ec- onomic sense. That is the provision of roads contiguous to settlement. Such construction must be planned only as called for by the growth of the town. The mere matter of providing means for a town does not in itself cause the growth. Towns grow with the growth of the tributary country that nourishes them Examples of this are near at r. nd The work done to aid the cil qrcspector now drilling under such trying conditions at Pearl creek dome is vastly more import ant for the growth of the towns of southwestern Alaska than is the construction of roads from the towns themselves.
 "In all of this work the help giv- CT by the low rate and excellent service over the railroad make pos sible an extent of work with the means provided far beyond any previously attainable. The excellent equipment obtained in the last three years also enables our funds to car ry to completion much greater quan- ities of work.
 ''In all of the great area tributary to the rairoad so much remains to be done and the careful execution of the same in accordance with the above principles will give such encouraging results. This tributary area not only includes right-of-way but also all of that great area reach ed by the interior river system from now on to be supplied through the railroad"

GOOD FIND IS MADE IN
 RAMSEY SUTHERLAND MINE

Frank Brown and Chris Peterson who recently took Q lease on the Ramsay-Rutherford property near the glacier and who have been pros pecting for ore shoots in the mine, returned to Valdez recently for sup plies, bringing the news that they had uncovered an ore chute of am aging richness on the 300-foot level. The ore chute showed about four inches wide in the floor of the drift. which, on sinking three feet, has widened to fourten inches, and the ore is literally filled with free gold. So rich is the ore that with a pestle and mortar they pounded out twenty and one-half ounces of gold out in less than fifty pounds of rock, and they brought the gold to town with them to prove their assertions.
 The work so far done on the vein demonstrates that for distance of sixteen feet the ore shoot continues carrying the same high values throughout. How much further the shoot continues is not known, but there is enough ore in sight it the present time 10 yield a handsome sum. The lessees are taking up ad- ditional supplies and will continue the work. taking out dump to be milled in the spring when the water begins to run, arrangements having been made to install a water wheel for power to replace the gas engine heretofore employed for running the mill.

LACK OF ZONE SYSTEM
 HANDICAP TO ALASkANS

It costs as much to ship a pound package from Anchorage to Mata- nuska by parcel post as it does to ship the same package to New York, says the Anchorage Times. This IS because Alaska is not granted the privelege Of zone classification With zone classification it would cost the Matanuska farmer 54 cents to ship 50 pounds of products to Anchorage that would now cost him S6.OO by parcel post. With the zone privelege Anchorage could ship fifty pounds to Fairbanks for S1.13 as against $500 under the present con- ditions.
 This matter was one considered by the Anchorage Merchants asso- citation with a view to enlisting aid in securing zone classification. The artificial and arbitrary rate of 12 cents flat as imposed on Alaskans places the local merchant in direct competition with the mail order houses of the east; means that Uncle Sam pays a subsidy to outside houses which enables them to under sell the merchant who lives in Al aska and pay taxes here.
 At meeting of the Merchants association recently the secretary was instructed to prepare resolutions to be submitted to the legislature and other governing bodies asking that pressure be brought to bear

DISCUSSES AIMS
 ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION

On the perfection of system of roads and trails rests the present economic system and future devel- opment of Alaska, in the opinion of Colonel John c. Gotwals, vice chairman of the Alaska Road com
 mission. In a special authorized in- terview with The Anchorage Times
 Colonel Gotwals said:
 ''The solution of means of over
 land transportation is at last receiv-
 ing the attention that it deserves in Alaska. The construction of the railroad, magnificent piece of work that it is, is token of the aims of
 the government in this respect. This structure adds a gigantic link to
 the primary transportation line upon which our present economic system rests and upon which the future commercial activity, greater than anything seen in the past, will arise
 But to bring on happily this greater day yet another link must be added tying our production centers to- gether, and with the great outside; that Is the completion of the neces- sary trails and roads to reach the railroad and the interior river sys- tenn served by boats operating from the railroad. It is in this respect that a brief review of the efforts of the Alaska Road commission in the past. and it's plans for the future are of general interest and if my knowledge of overland conditions in the past are admitted to be expert and comprehensive. a similar re- view of overland travel is of value. It is desired to emphasize again that the provision of means of trans portation, trails, roads, railroads or watercarriers cannot of themselves create economic development. All make it possible, but the rugged prospector, the small developer, and the great mining company create and carry over the means providing the misunderstanding tonnage. l. IS this condition in Alaska today that makes a real knowledge of pioneer conditions an essential to the trail and road work. It is this condition that for many years has placed the supervision of our work largely under carefully selected and train ed local superintendents. To such men the significance of such terms as ''gee-pole flats" or tundra" and similar terms bring instant com prehension. Again such men realize that here as in the case of the pio- neer soldier in war the only inex- cusable error is not to give aid to the critical time Often this aid due to small means has been the rough est blazed trail but it is essential that the aid be given throughout at once.
 With this in view the mere con- struction of monumental roads fol- lowing the dictates of topography alone would be of little value for present development. On the other hand, the following in of each stage of individual operations in our chief industry-mining with early aid and that designed to help each stage in the development but planning this aid so that major or trunk lines of communication will finally result and give the most en- couraging development. 4 good ex- ample of such a development is that to the Willow creek mining district. This road originally started in pre-railroad days as a sled road
