A Little Countess in Alaska.
J,Inean News

Juneau news
Juneau's popular Waterman, Frank
Starr, as guardian OF the s-year-old girl
Lucy de Lancen. is building two-story
five-room cottage on the elevated bench
land above and overlooking the town and
below Joe Winterholer's much-souGht
after vegetable garden. This elevated
plateau projects into the rims of hills
forming the protecting arms Of a huge
armchair and makes a very pretty build
ing site for a row OF picturesque cot
tages. The little girl of six summers at
tends school at ST. AIMS acadamy and
finds home and shelter with her devoted
guardian. Enshrouding this little tot OF
the hriar wood is a romance OF Russian
blue blood, and should the father reclaim
her as his own and take her to his landed
estates in Russia. she will fall into the
title OF an heiress and the splendor OF a
proud family's estate. About eight years
ago Count de Lancen, OF Russia, then y
years old. stopped over in Juneau and
took 10 himself a maiden of the forest as
a housekeeper. The little girl Lucy was
born to them and the count was devoted
70 his new possession. He conceived the
idea OF building a castle on Point Look
out, overlooking the town. and set men
to work Telling the trees and building the
foundation One day a gentle zephyr
from Silver Bow basin visited them on
the lumber off its summit. The count
gave up his project and centered his eff
forts on the plateau valley below, He
bought the land OF the owners and set A
gang OF men 10 cut and burn the trees.
He blew in some 81 600 on this scheme,
when the counts father sent him orders
TO return TO his ancestral estates. Be-
fore leaving he decided over his ten lots
in Juneau, three lots in Douglas City ana
a cannery site at Cape Fanshaw TO his
daughter. Since then the old count has
died and Lucy's father Is now in posses
sion OF the estate and titles. Frank Starr
is in correspondence with the count, en-
deavoring TO have him provide well for
his daughters support and education. and
also make provisions for the improve
ment OF the land by erecting cottages for
rent. As the count Is wealthy, IL is more
than likely he will not neglect his Alaska
born child. hut provide literally for her
welfare. So 1t IS among the possibilities
that this little waif in time viii become
an heiress and from her cottages look
down upon the town and witness the COM
ing OF her many suitors.

THE DEMAND FOR COPPER.

Regardless OF the fact that the supply
OF copper has steadily increased in the
United States, IL has not been produced
In sufficient quantities to supply the i'm
creased demand occasioned. an is well
known, by its uses In the new electrical
appliances all over the world.
Several years ago a large French syn
dictate organized in Paris for the purpose
OF controlling the copper market OF the
world. They had their agents in every
important copper producing section of the
country. furnished with an abundance of
capital and with power TO control the out
put of the mines and the shipping of the
metal. The business was conducted sue
cessfuiiy for several years. until the pro-
ducers. firing OF the syndieates method OF
conducting their business. resumed their
individuality and adopted their old
methods.
European copper dealers are now en-
deavoring TO renew their old relations
with the American copper producers. in
hopes OF again controlling the market and
restricting shipments to Europe. and they
ask the producers 10 restrict the ship
ments going foreign this year 10 5000
tons. but the Americans have refused TO
sign There are good and substantial
reason for their refusing. and the change
in the situation In the United States obvi-
etes the necessity for such an agreement,
The present visible supply OF copper in
Europe is only sufficient to last five
months, while the visible supply in the
United States Is scarcely sufficient 10
meet the requirements OF four months.
The increased demands for the metal
this year for domestic purposes are so
great that it Is doubtful If the United
States can permit the export OF 25.e0o
tons. This would leave shortage in
Europe OF $500 tons. with an increasing
consumption.
The production % refined copper in the
United States in 1894 aggregated is. GO
tons. and as the visible supply Is scarcely
enough TO last i've months, based on the
consumption OF last year. there is reason
for the wonderful activity and ufe in ell
the copper producing mining districts
and camps throughout the United States
and throughout the world. And there is
greater reason why Washington should be
sharing In this unusual copper produe-
ton and the prosperity attending it.
