SHIFT PART OF TAX BURDEN TO GOLD MINES, SAYS LEGISLATOR

Two men from Anchorage. one in Juneau officially the other lon a visit, ' Representative H. H. Me Cutcheon and J. P. Hannon talked over the affairs facing the coming session of the legislature conversing socially in lannon's room at the Zynda hotel reports the Alaska Daily Press of Juneau.
 What I want to find out if I can McCutcheon said. "is how the people of Alaska really want the var ious legislative bills to be voted Take the liquor question, for in- stance, I've asked dozens of friends their opinions. but none of them can carry his view to a practical con clusion. And the variety of opinion is overwhelming. Here Hannon in- terrupted. Remember the meeting We had in Anchorage, just before coming south. Representative from the W. c. T. IT., the P. T.

 Turning to the Social Security act, McCutcheon and Hannon both agreed that there was mo doubt at all' of it's acceptance by the legis- lature. Tt is a splendid move. cer- tainly a difficult one; but there isl no doubt of it's eventual success"
 After side-tracking for a few mo- ments to topics of special interest to Hannon, who is owner of Station KFQD at Anchorage, the two re turned again to legislative prob lems, this time hitting upon one of the most crucial questions, tax atiOn.
 Here, although there was consid- erable discussion between them there was also complete agreement when McCutcheon said, Absolutely no more taxes should be placed on the fishing industry. It is already bearing far more than it's share of

The Atlin Camp

The Atlin camp, in the extensive north-westerly section of the pro vince, was a contemporary of the Klondyke discovery. Gold-crazed men and women made their way to Lake Atlin in 1879 and found coarse nuggets in Pine Spruce and other creeks which opened their mouths into it's now scenically fla nous waters. Discovery creek boas- ted a population of several thousand in its heydey. The stampeders pass ed on to newer fields, as is their wont, but placer mining has sup ported the community ever since. The total recorded value of placer gold recovered from the Atlin camp since discovery in 1898 to the end of 1885 has amounted to 19,767,334. Occasional large nuggets have been Iand still are a source of thrill and profit to the Atlin gold miner. Tn 1913 a nugget weighing 73 ounces, the largest ever discovered in the area, was found on Birch Creek. Blue Canyon (upper Spruce Creek)
 yielded a nugget of 36 oz. 12 cwt. IA grs. and Mckee Creek one weigh ing 28 oz. 12 cwt, grs. Ruby Creek has also contributed big nuggets; one 40 and one half oz. and another, discovered in 1885, scaling slightly

Gold in the Cassiar

The earlier rush into that part
 of northern British Columbia, known
 by the euphonious name of Cassiar
 is replete with equally appealing fiction-like elements such as the
 tale of McDame, the ambitious pro jects of Warburton Pike, the sordid and glamorous realism of swagger- ing, boisterous mining towns of seemingly instantaneous growth. The Negro, McDame, so the old timers say, discovered the creek which bears his name and visioned in the region a northern Utopia for a selected group of his race-a dream never realized. Warburton Pike, author, sportsman and explor- CT, fathered the first company to install a hydraulic plant on Thibert the discovery creek of the Cassiar. He also incorporated the Cassiar Central Railway Company. This rail- road had as its objective the exten- sion of transportation facilities for

the development of the hinterlanc between the stikine River and Daw. son in the Yukon with ultimate ex
 tension to tidewater in British Col. umbia. Construction was started al Glenora, a booming town in 1898 and at that time the head of navi- gation on the Stikine River. The first terminus. Dease Lake, was nev- CT reached. Factors beyond control made the time unpropitious the Klondyke and Atlin stampedes woo ed yacillating prospectors with si- ren song and the South African war carried business depression in it's wake to affect enterprises in this new world. The railway. which might have changed the history of northern British Columbia, was ab- andoned almost at it's inception. An impressive stone monument on the shores of Dease Lake erected to the memory of Warburton Pike. who be- lieyed in a roseate future for the north country, may some time be the centre of the activity for which he planned, with the Alaskan-Yu kon highway forming an important part of a modern air, water and land transportation system.

Thibert Discovery

The gold rush into the Cassiar was the continuation of a series of strikes. The forty-niners of Calif- fornia flocked to the Fraser River in 1857, the Cariboo in 1861. the Big Bend country in 1885 and 1886 land the headwaters of the Peace River in Omineca during the three years following. In 1878 came the news of Henry Thibert's discovery on the creek subsequently named for him and the Cassiar rush was on. It must be noted, however, that for more than a decade before 1873 pros pectors had been taking gold from the sands and bars of the Stikine river, where intermittent prospect ing and operating has continued to the present time. The period of greatest production in the Cassiar. as indicated by the annual reports of the Gold Commissioners, dated from the year 1874 to 1895 when McDame Creek, credited with an output of $1,597,500 was the largest producer of gold. Dease Creek ranked second with a recovery of $1,394,900, and Thibert Creek third with a contri- button of $1,279,60O. Many other creeks yielded varying amounts to the stampeders, who began their exodus in 1878. In that year a third of the population of 1900 were thrifty Chinese gleaning pay from the ground which the white men had worked and abandoned Pros peetors and a few small companies are still interested in placer mining in the remote Cassiar and in the development of lode deposits which transportation facilities and costs rendered prohibitiYe in early days of discovery. Only a small portion of the extensive Cassiar has been scratched and store of comm, rcial mineral deposits may still lie hid den in the reoesses of its mountain ranges, it's rivers, creeks and val leys.

oyer 30 oz. That the Atlin area still harbours surprises and the placer
 prospectors dream of big sIugs' Is
 borne out by the discovery in the spring of 1886 in the old Glad stone lease re-opened by Carl Lyk-
 kergard, hard working young
 Danish Canadian, of the largest solid gold nugget ever found in the camp. This nugget weighed Il oz. 8 dwt. Today hydraulicking, drift ing and steam-shoYel operations may be seen on the creeks of Atlin. Most of these workings are on the creeks from which 'old-timers re moved the cream without geolog- ically tracing the true course of old channels and the possibilities of others. Virgin ground of pay prom ise' still remains to be tested in the immediate vicinity and authorities predict many more fruitful years ahead for Atlin if this section is prospeeted under sound technical and financial backing.

ALASKA PRISON ISLAND PLAN
 REVIVED BY CONGRESSMAN

A life of fishing, hunting and livestock farming under pioneer sonditions' in the Aleutian islands is proposed for America's criminals in a resolution being pressed be- ore Congress by Representative Kenney democrat of New Jersey
 Kenney said that it would give ,rong-doers chance ito rehabili- tatea themselves by living under conditions more normal than an artificial life in cells.
 The proposal to establish penal islands in the Aleutians first came to public attention several years ago when it was supported by All fred E. Smith, former governor of New York. and has been revived at various periods since.
 Representative Kenney, 52, serv- ing his third term from the ninth congressional district of New Jersey has proposed Alaska as a penal colony before. along with Sanford Bates director of the United States bureau of prisons, and Colonel A. s. Sloane of the army air corps. Both of the latter proposed the Rat islands for the island prison. The lonely Rat islands were sug- gested by Colonel Sloane in re- sponse to a general invitation from Attorney General Cummings in the summer of 1885 for possible meth- ods of dealing with the crime prob- lem. He proposed reducing Amer icas huge prison population by ban ishing at least 10000 to the Rat islands. near the western end of the Aleutian chain.
 The convicts could live their own lives without guard but without hope of parole, pardon or escape; the coast guard or similar patrol could see to 1t that they stayed on the islands.
 All proposals for establishment of the penal colony in Alaska met with immediate protests from var ious Alaskan organizations.

The Miner, a Canadian mining publication, recently carried a we'll written and comprehensive article on the mining history and produc- tion of the Northwest Mineral Dis trict by E. Madge Mandy, who has frequently accompanied her hus- band. Dr. Mandy on his official trips into the Cassiar and all other parts of his district Mrs. Mandy's article in part follows:
 The North western Mineral Survey District comprises a total area of about 144,OOO square miles, more than one-third of the total area of the phovince of British Columbia Of this great expanse only about 52,- 500 square miles has, as yet, been but superficially prospeeted, and the bulk of the region is still practical ly uneXplored. It is Illuminating and important to realize that about 91,- GOO square miles can be considered as potentially favourable for the oc- currence of commercial ore-depostts. Although a limited extent of geo. logical and typographical survey work has been carried out in this vast and rugged territory the re. search has indicated an unbroken stretch of mineralized country in northwestern British Columbia ex-| tending to the Yukon boundary and| beyond. The cursory investigation reveals an impressive list of metal. lie and non-metallic occurrences. gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, iron, molybdenum, antimoniferous. and ar-l senical ores, coal, limestone, marble, barite, clays, magnesite, garnet, granite building stone, sandstones, graphite, mica, mineral springs, hot springs, Oil-shale and salt.

Gold Was Magnet

The history of mining in north western British Columbia is laid up- on a foundation of gold, silver and copper. Of these three metals gold has served as a magnet to draw mushroom stampedes, prospectors, promoters and companies and to hold optimistic settlers.
 The southern part of the district abounds in islands. Among them Moresby Island, of the Queen Char lotte group, has an important entry In the annals of British Columbia. At Michell Inlet on the rockbound. waye-washed west coast of this lone ly island is the site of the first re- corded discovery of gold in the pro- vince and the first mining opera tion. The Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Camosun, now the city of Vic toria, recorded information from Indians in 1851 of gold-quartz vein on the island and the fostering of a prospecting expedition in 1852 with subsequent mining of more than S1,000 worth of ore. News of this strike precipitated a small stampede to the islands which constituted the first gold-rush to that part of the Pacific Northwest which is now British Columbia. This discovery was responsible for the brief estab- lishment of the Queen Charlotte Is- land Crown Colony and the issu- ance on March 26th, 1853, by the Lieutetnant-Gove James Doug las, of the first mining law for the embryonic province. Gold possibili- ties are still attracting investigation on the Queen Charlotte Islands.

Initial Gold Discovery

This initial gold discovery on Brit ish Columbia's western seaboard did not immediately and logically lead to a progressive northward trend along the easily negotiated water ways of the coast. The Mitchell in- let discovery nevertheless placed the migrating "Forty-Niner" and his confreres in a strategic position more easily to follow the trails of the Fraser, Cariboo and Omineca rushes and their elongation into the Cassiar, Klondyke and Atlin coun- tries.
