WOULD BRING
 MINERS NORTH
 BY AIRPLANES
|Oldtime Alaska Sourdough and Prospector Ad-
 vances Theory
Seattle star)

1 Alaska, now with white popula-
 tion less than contained in one i large New York office building
 could be taken from the wilderness
 and carved into a great State by
 an army of U. s. ex-service men just as easily as they captured
 the vast stretches of land in France in the opinion of S. w. Taggart
 old-time Alaska sourdough and
 Northwest pioneer. Taggart's plan would be for the
 Government to enlist such an army
 and "grubstake" it on a 50-50 basis
 The Governments 50 per cent o1
 return would act as a revolving
 fund to carry on and enlarge the enterprise. : The army would have as officers
 men appointed from the depart
 ments of mining and agriculture
 and would have at heir disposal enough airplanes necessary to carry on the work. ae
 Provide Employment
 Under this plan, Taggart believes l that Alaska could be developed more in three years than it would under Ipresent methods in a century. It would give employment to thou sands and encourage colonization bringing great returns, Taggart be- lieves. Upon the airplane, the only } means of gaining access to Alaska's interior. would depend the success of the scheme. The establishment lof a development army division station at Nome, for instance, could land prospecting squad upon the upper waters of the Noatak in four hours, with sufficient supplies and men to crosscut a large section, " ITaggart pointed out.
 Maps for Gold
 The Bureau of Mines has sent out extensive geological surveys, and can furnish maps of Alaska, dotted | with indications of where gold may be found.
 "The airplane is the solution in reaching these places, for in the Summer time, without plane, it lis practically impossible to pros- 'pect except along the rivers"
