RESOLUTION NO. 12
To Encourage Prospecting in The
 Undeyeloped Areas of Alaska

WHEREAS. the basic industry of the Second Division of the Ter. riuory of Alaska, is gold mining. The total gold production of this territory up to this date is appro- |ximately six hundred million dol lars. Of this amount, the Second Division has produced almost one hundred million dollars. or abou one-sixth of the total production. About ninety percent ot this lat ter amount was acted from the rich surface placers adjacent to the shores of Boring Sea. The in terior sections of this division are still unGeyeloped, and practically unprospected. except for small ar eas of sha How placers. The large stream beds and high bench depos- its are still uneNplored. Many square miles of gold bearing plac- CTS located by early settlers have gone back to the public domain. due principally to the inaccessibility of said areas by road or water trans portation, therefore making opera tion or development of same pract- ically impossible. Also many prom ising quartz prospects along the Sawtooth Mountain Range. and at other points remain undeveloped for the same reason: and
 WHEREAS, It is the concensus of opinion among intelligent min CTS and prospectors that the min eral wealth of the Seward Penin- sula still remains practically un- touched. and its development is retarded, primarily on account ot the geographical position of this particular part of the territory; and secondly, on account of the scant consideration it has received from the Federal Government up to this time in the way of assist ance in the building of roads, which are of first importa in the developme ent of all frontiers : and
 WHEREAS. the National Cong ress has in the past rejected our appeals for assistance in the dew elopment of the Second Division and has given as it's reason for so doing that we had not convinced its committee appointed tc investi- gate the report of our mineral re sources. that Ire appropriations asked for were justified, because we had not supported our claims by recommendations of recogniz- ed, competent mining engineers:
 NOW THEREFORE,, BE IT RE- SOLVED, that the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce does hereby petition the Tenth Alaska
 Territorial Legislature to appro- priate out of the Territorial Treas l'ury, the sum of one hundred thous- and dollars. the same to be divid-

covered that what our PreSi-
dent had told us was indeed
true: the depression is world
wide; it has affected the minds
of all leaders equally. reduced
them to babbling and ineffec-
tive and frightened old men.
For, in spite of the ''muSts"
which Mussolini issues with
the ferocity of a city editor,
the old ring of confidence and
authority is not there. The
purpose is admirable. the meth
ods are feeble.
To begin with, the Fascist
party is told to consider itself
in a state of political and
moral mobilization. and "all
needy persons must be helped"
This Is our own dear demo
cratic none shall Starve'' in
another guise. None shall
starve" is a beautiful ideal If
we actually mean it: but we
mean that not all shall Starve,
that starvation must be Kept
below a certain level. and that
if people have the bad grace
to starve above that level. their
deaths must be put down in the
records as due to pneumonia.
Further. the FaScists are told
to keep headquarters open from
II a. m. to II p. m. Perhaps
this is a war measure in. Italy.
It may pass. !
Again, they must combat
defeatism, profiteering and
rumor-mongering. For that, we
have the radio. A sinister note
is added: ''All :. . enemies must
be eliminated from circulation"
We shall see what happens to
paraders in America if they
turn ugly.
More Propaganda
But the giveaw is at the
end. Mussolini gives orders
that the Fascist party must
go into a great propaganda
'to enlighten the nation on
what the Fascist regime has
done to weather the crisis by
undertaking an enormous vol
ume of public works and organ.

to propagandize to persuade
