MINING, WORLDS \. GREAT INDUSTRY
 CLAIMS SIJLZER

The former Governor Wm. SulZer of New York needs no introduction to Alaska and especially Sewardites. For years he has been foremost in assisting in the development of the Territory. Always has he taken up Alaska's battle and defended them to the best of his ability. Wm. Sulzer is truly Alaska's strong man in the east. AS often as possible he jour-, neys to the Territory from his New York home in order to feel the pulse of the last frontier, and to in spect his immense mining properties which are located in many districts, particularly the White River region. The following contribution on min ing, written by Wm. Sulzer, is one of the most enlightening articles of its nature which has ever appeared in the Gateway and it is with great pleasure the publishers present it to their readers.
 The article follows:
 Political Economists tell us that mining, next to agriculture, is the greatest industry in our country.
 This is true from the viewpoint that if our soil were untitled there would be little to eat and famine vrou1d stalk inc land
 From a financial, or monetary standpoint, however, to say noth- ing about relativity, and every con- modity is relative to the product of the mines, the mining industry is the greatest in the world. The truth of

 Warden Hallson, in the Ketchikan region, reports that he found three trappers, Severin Audal, w. R. AL len, and George Sparks, trapping without licenses, and in some cases having taken marten. All the cases were filed before the U. s. Commis- sioner at Ketchikan and fines of $25 each were imposed. The skins and traps seized from the men were held by the Court to be disposed of later.
 Warden Hallson also reports that two cases were filed against L. Schulman, fur dealer of Ketchikan one for buying furs without a license and another for failure to keep pro- per records of furs handled The cases had not been completed ac- cording to latest information receiv- ed at the office of the Alaska Game Commission.

ed another report of prosecution un- der the Alaska Game Law at Ancho- rage by Warden Hardy. In a com- munication addressed to the Seward Gateway, the following cases are cited:
 The case, which contained three counts, was against Percy Brubaker and c. F. Kronmiller of Palmer, AL aska, and was filed before U. S. Commissioner A. G. Thompson at Anchorage The men were charged with being non-residents and trap ping with nonresident license, taking of fur bearing animals be- fore the open season, and trapping beaver for which no open season is provided
 Upon arraignment January 5, they entered a plea of mot guilty and demanded a trial before the Con- missioner without jury and attorney service.
 At the trial January 6, they were found guilty, Brubaker was sentenced to 3 months in jail and Kronmiller was sentenced to 30 days. It is un- derstood Kronmiller's sentence was made less than Brubaker's in recog- milton of his being in ill health.
 Six beaver skins, which were seiz- ed ere held by the Court for dispo- sition.
 Warden A. H. Hardy, of Anchorage, reports that on December 30, 1925, he arrested Kroto Chelatin, Alexan- der .Nickolai and Wassilla Nickolai, at Kroto Alaska, for illegal trap ping of beaver, and seized .27 beaver skins taken by these men, The men entered pleas of guilty before the U. $. Commissioner at Anchorage. Chelatin was sentenced to months in jail and the other two men were each given months suspended sen- tence. From the report, it would seem these two men were not requir- ed to serve the sentence because of their mother needing their care The Court took custody of the skins for sale later.

 Wipe out the mines and the people ere long would again be living in caves and mud shachs along the banks of streams like the river drift men in the dawn of mankind.

 The greatest benefactor of the hu- man race has been the the pros- pector. The most beneicient men of all times are the farIseeing men whose brain and ibrawn developed the earth's natural resources, the men who poured the golden stream of wealth into the lap of civiliza ton ; into the channels of commerce; and into the house of happiness.
 All honor to these Miners. Long Live the Mining Indus'try!! All hail the Prospector!!! In every land on which the sun shines a monument should be built to the Prospector for all that he has done in every cline, to bless humanity.

this assertion becomes apparent when it is visualized that mining gives us the standard of value by which the price of almost everything pro- duced by the brain and Drawn of man is measured. Abandon mining and the value of every commodity would be insignificant, humanity would sink back to the barter and exchange age, and financial paralysis would lock in it's deadly grasp the indus tries of mankind. It would be the greatest calamity that ever befell the human race, and in less than a gen. eration civilization would revert to barbarism, when primitive man knew nothing about copper, gold, sil- yer, iron, steel, lead, and zinc. and the invaluable mineral resources of Moth CT Earth.
 Those who decry mining are igno- rant of history, or have ulterior purposes to serve. If they know anything they must know that all business, that all industry, that all human progress depends on the mines.
 The wealth from the mines from the dawn of time is the epic of the song and story of human advance ment, of mans march along the paths of progress.
 Show me people without mines, and I will show you a people deep in the mire of poverty, and thou sand years behind the procession of civilization.
 It was the mines that made the greatness of the past, that made the ancient civilizations; that made Egypt great; that made Greece great; that made Rome great; and in modern times the mines have made Spain, and England, and the United States great beyond the dreams of avarice.
 Mining is essential to the advance ment of mankind, and to the progress of civilization. Mining has done more for the human race than all other agencies combined. Mining has made more poor men mililonaires, in the decades of the ages, than all other things put together
 The government statistics show there has been less money lost in mining than in any other important business in our country. These rec ords prove that in mining the fail ures have been less than 35 per cent as against more than 87 per cent of failures in other industries, throughout the United States, during the past 50 years.
 More real profit has been made by investors in mining securities during the past century than from any other American industry.
 The mines have offered the rank and file of investors an opportunity to acquire stock at ridiculously low prices many of which subsequently, appreciated in value we'll above the one hundred dollar mark.
 Investment statistics show that profit to investors from mines is about 186 per cent-more than six times the percentage of any other in-

Ok the Meyer Davis organization
on the fifth anniversary of the
laying of the foundation OF the Cafe
Le Paradis, the first OF the chain
of sensationally successful dance
resorts established in Washington
BY Meyer Davis, jazz magnate and
Capital native son.
The opening of LIE Paradis marked
q new era in the Washington
amusement world. During the fogr
years of its operation, this smart
resort is said TO have paid an
annual average net profit Of 20 to
40 per cent. The lie Paradis cafe

Of the building at No. Thomas
Circle which houses the cafe, and
has also expanded into the Club
Chantecler. an ultra-exclusive and
fashionable night club.
The elaborate Venetian room has
been added for the accommoda
OF large private parties. Clear in
aication that the future Of this group
or smart resorts has not yet
reached its climax is demonstra sed
BIZ the fact that the gross business
OF LIE Paradis during the last year,
exceeded that Of the year before.
This was accompl ished in spite OF
the fact that a number OF compe-

the last season or two.
