The best of old-time Alaskans and prospectors have their difficulties in attempting to cover the platinum district embraced in the Goodnews Bay area. “More than 150 men present are actively engaged in prospecting at and mining in that area. Arriv- ing passengers by airplane from other parts of Alaska haven't the lightest idea of where to pursue prospecting and mining for platin- um and gold in that district,” | 1aid Mr. Milot. Commenting on other sections of {he Territory where gold mining Is the prineipal industry, Mr. Mil- )t expressed the opini that the vold output for 1937 would be con- iderably in excess of 1936. - o — The British Parliament passed the Quebec Act in 1774.
