In reading over the advance notice of the Geological Survey. we were i'm pressed with the optomistic strain that ran thru the whole report. This fact IS signigicant, coming as it does from men who are in touch with every min ing disttict in the Territory;
 Every district in Alaska was seriou sly hurt by the post war slump, but most of the mines and prospects have produced when there was little or no profit in the grou nd. It takes good gambler to stay in the game when the chances of making stake are aeains him. We all admire the men who have ground that they have managed to dev elop in the face of the many obstacles that SUIT ound an ordinary prodpect es pecially when the owner has to go to others to get workingcapital and then manages to keep the control of the property.
 As yet the interior is not far enough enough advanced to get along without the support of the mines. Take them and thecountry would go back years before any othe industry arose to take their place.
 With new roads and bridges com ing as reality and not as dream, the Territory is due to see an era of prosp erity that will give us a chance to ex pand and develop Alaska resources. Column 8
