McGee, the McGee formerly proprietor of Air of Anchorage, who sold his aviation rvice to the Star Airways about a year ago and Mrs. McGee are passengers' aboard the Yukon enroute from Los Angeles to Anchorage Mr. McGee has with him aboard the Yukon a Stinson Junior air- plane, and he shipped a Beéllanca plane to Anchorage a few days ago on the Oduna. He expects to sell the Bellanca plane, and will use the Stinson in conducting mining operations in the Interior. | A group of 27 mining claims at Indian Creek, 75 miles south of Wiseman and about 200 miles north of Fairbanks, are owned by Mr. McGee. He spent last February on the ground, and after a few days in’ Anchorage he will spend this summer in developing his claims. A drill was transported to the Indian Creek claims last winter aboard a Northern Air Transport as money becomes freer, they spend more on outside amusements, and on traveling for pleasure. This tendency first began to show last season in the tourist travel to Al- aska, when this travel reached n.s‘ greatest height since 1929. Advance | bookings for this tourist season are| the largest in our history. More | people will see Alaska and me' scenic beauties of the Inland Pas-- sage this year than ever before. More people will carry home with them memories of Alaskan nnmnl\ esting and unique industries—sal- mon fishing and canning, mining, and logging than any other year in Alaska's history. “Alaska, too, will benefit grei from the money spent by these tourists for ledging, food, souvenit's and othér pleasures in the Terri- tory. Many séctions of the: Unftéd States annually spend largeé amounts of mohey to attract ‘tourist crop.’ Alaskans realize the value of the tourist to the country, and do ev- erything they can to make visitors happy and comfortable. “The greatly increased interest of American tourists in Alaska can be attributéd to' a numbér of fac- tors,” Baker continued. “Unsettled political conditions in- Eurdpe have undoubtedly helped. More - adver- tising of Alaska by steamship’ lines, and railroads have accounted for some of the pick up. Advertising by theé Canned Suimon Industry in weekly and monthly magazines in the States, has also done a good deal to publicize the romance of Alaska among the meémbers of thé family who frequently are the most influential in making up the travel itinerary, the housewives.” beauty, and the Territory's inter-; $420,000 BEING “SPENT BY PWA INWESTWARD = rPrOJec!s Getting Under- Way Rapidly, Gridley | Reports on Return \ Public works costing approximaté- | |1y $420000 aré now undér way in! |the Westward, according to Ross A. | Gridley, PWA Staté Engineer-In-| spector, who returned to his head- | quarters here last night on the Aleutian.
