ALABKA CIRCULATION o L in and ARANTEED TO BE LARGER OTHER PUBLICATION. There is an encouraging note in the report brought back from Ketchikan by B. D. Stewart, Territorial Commissioner of Mines, that there is revived interest in mining in the south ehd of the Division. New rospects are being developed this spring, he found, and some old properties which have been spasmodi- cally active aré taking on new life. An example of the widespwead interest is revealed in the fact that since the esfablishment of the assay office in Ketchi- kan last August more than 1,000 samples have been handled through that office, taxing it to the point where it may become necessary to install more equip- ment to handle the volume of work. It bodes well that Southeast Alaska is directing more attention toward developing mining prospects and attempting to meet the pace set in that indus by the Interior and Westward regions, Many of ou Southeast communities have for years centered their business almost exclusively around the fishing ind try as naturally enough they would. Fishing is, probably will continue to be for some time, the major of the Alaska:Panhandle with the'exception, , of our own Juneau area which owes its to the discovery of gold here and the laier vast development which resulted in Juneau having today the largest low grade gold ore mine in the world —the Alaska Juneau—located virtually within its city limits, But our Southeast communities which are depen- dent to such a large degree on fishing are finding that when low prices and accompanying complica tions occur in the industry, such as are being ex- perienced this year, business tends to become stagnant unless there is some other source to which they can Jook for supplemental income. Mining is a natural source to turn to. Surveys over the years have proven that Southeast Alaska is a fertile field for the develop- ment of a valuable mineral industry. Not only n this area but all the way down to Ketchikan and the Prince of Wales districts, mining men have found that the minerals are available. Tt is an excellent thing that the tendency now is to turn more toward development of that industry. It will be a good thing for Southeast Alaska as well as the entire Territory as more and more of these properties are brought into production. OUR REASON FOR CELEBRATING ATR MAILL WEEK Throughout the country this week National Air Mail Week is being observed. Alaska, Juneau and Fairbanks, had its celebration a couple of | weeks early as it marked the first flight of air mail’ between the ‘two cities, leaving from here on May 3. But while we are still jubilant about the inauguration . of the air mail service, we can find cause for celebra- tion this week along with the rest of the country One of the best reasons, it occurs to us, is found in the visit of Aeronautics Inspector Hugh Brewster to Southeast Alaska. While here on his various other duties, the Inspector is going to look over the immedi- ate vicinity of Juneau, and also Ketchikan, with the aim of picking out a likely site for a municipal air- port. While it may have nothing to do directly with Air Mail Week, it certainly has something very defin- ite to do with aviation in Alaska, and modern aviation| b possible. ‘N:\V:mml | pass.

But it will be a mistake to regard it of peace upon waterfront, The Post-Intelligencer believes that peace is to be sought in two directions: First—All sides of these maritime controversie must learn to respect. the public interest by showine an increased willingness to settle disputes without strikes and lockouts, and an increased respect for the findings of existing official agencies. Second—There must be Federal legi to that provided in the railway labor act, setting up an effective machinery under which commerce may proceed without interruption, while the issues in any dispute are being settled by mediation or arbitration A few months ago Joseph P.

We urge such action in the interest of labor- and not alone in the interest of maritime workers whc lose their pay when a port is closed. Maritime com- merce is the lifeblood of this region and its interrup- tion causes financial loss and even loss of jobs to thousands of workers in all types of industry and business on the Pacific Coast. These thousands are in no wise responsible for the differences between maritime employers and their worke: in no wise interested in the disputes between maritime unions but they suffer directly and severely.
