GOING TOO FAR

It is well to discourage people without means from coming to Alaska. It is well to emphasize that Alaska's need is more for capital than for labor. It is well too to deplore harmful publicity.
 All these things were done in a recent Juneau Chamber of Commerce resolution which has been sent to Ketchikan for en- dorsement.
 Here in Ketchikan, we are not fully familiar with the situation in Juneau. It is entirely probable that the unemployment situation is deplorable enough to justify not only the conclusions reached by the Juneau Chamber but the warmth and the length of reso- lution in which these conclusions were set out.
 But, as was pointed out at the meeting of the Ketchikan Cham Der of Commerce this week, it is one thing to endorse the essence of the resolution, another thing to endorse it entirely. We have no quarrel with Juneau and we sympathize with the conditions that led to the adoption of the resolution and the letter to Presi dent Roosevelt. Nor does it mat ter great deal if the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce decides next week to endorse the letter and resolution in the entireties.
 Nevertheless, we do not think
The Nome nugget., 1939-02-15

If an outside writer put that in national circulation there would be an awful howl from Alaska.
 Of course, we realize it is idle to quibble over words. We all agree that steps should be taken tc discourage the wrong type of people from coming to Alaska Thus, most everyone must agree with the essence of Juneau's com paint. It will be remembered that The Chronicle spoke out sev eral weeks ago on the matter of sending political refugees north ward. Our comment then was that Alaska needs population, but it must be reasonable sell ective. Good or bad, that com ment the The Chronicle was wid- ely publicized in the nations press.
 Nevertheless, we cannot help but feel that in closing the doors to the undesirable We should not go to the extreme of closing the doors to the desirables as well.
 If we keep shouting that AL aska is NOT land of golden op-  portunity, NOT a land in which people can make a living, NOT land in which the immediate future holds hope of develop ment, then we shall find the peo- pie begin to believe us. and we shall reach the end of the next 30-year period with the same pop ulation we have today, just as we have reached today with the same population we had 30 years ago.
 Let's concentrate on what AL aska has to offer instead of what she has NOT.

Famine Aided in Death
 of Sick Trapper

Starvation was at least a con tributing cause of the death of Al Brown, trapper and prospect or, whose remains were found in his cabin on the Charlie River, in the Eagle precinct, late last month. Mir. Brown had been miss ing since April. 1887.
 Details of the finding of the re mains and of some of the circum- stances surrounding the death have been received in a letter from Robert Steel, United Stat es commissioner at Eagle.
 The commissioner writes:
 'The evening of January 25, Phil Berail, hydraulic foreman on Coal Creek, came into Eagle and reported that he found the remains of Al Brown while pros pecting way up on Charlie River. Berail said he was going up Copper creek and noticed a blazed trail going up a small tributary. He got to thinking about Al Brown, so followed this trail and near the head of the creek he found small cabin, and there under the storm roof sat, or lay, all that was left of Al. In the cabin Berail found letter which 1 have here, dated April IA. 1888. Brown writes about being sick all winter and trying to flag several different planes that flew over.
 'He was out of grub, and sick as well as hungry, and in the last few lines said he was getting very weak and did not know how long he would last. He last ed at least eight days longer, as hilC odlCo Oll lIlG SdICIlOdI were crossed off til April g. He died sitting with his back leaning against the shed wall and now it looks just like a bundle of old clothes-head gone and bones held together with a mackinaw coat and other clothes.
 "One of his dogs died lying be- side him. Phil says there are five or six gunny sacks full of fur hanging in the cache and all seems to be in good condition. I don't know yet whether the r. mains and fur will be brought here or taken to Circle Springs. Berail thinks it will be much easier to go out that way, and I think it would be O. K, even though it is in this precinct"

Two Kinds of Claims

.. It is very important to distin- guish between a lode and a pla- cer deposit. If a deposit is lode. it should be staked as a lode claim: If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim. If both lode and a placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both placer and lode claim.
