10 DEVELOP
Resources of the Copper
 River District.
Capt. Jehn J. HeaIy Has Organ. ized The Alaska Central
 Exploration Company.

Seattle, Aug. 20.-To develop the resources of the Copper river district to establish canneries, stores and trad tug posts, in short, to carry on a grea. is the object for which the Central Alaska Exploration Company is organ ized. The company has as its presi- dent Captain John J. Healy, the well. known Alaska promoter, formerly connected with the North American Transportation and Trading Company The exploration company is organized in connection with the Valdes, Copper River & Yukon Railway Company, and building of the railway are member, of the commercial organization. Frank Bradshaw, the Los Angeles and New York fnancier, is secretary of he com panv. and Messrs. Helm and Abbot. who are leading figures in the larger concern, are directors.
 Captain Healy, who has large ac- quaintance all over the Pacific coast, has been in the East for several months putting into practical shape plans fol the organization of such company. He has secured ample financial back ing for the undertaking, and now is ready to proceed with preliminary operations in the North. He is still in the East. but is expected to reach Seattle almost any day. Several Of his have preceded him to this city. and are awaiting his arrival. F. c. Helm is here, expecting to sail for Naldes shortly to look after the first work of construction on the rail- way, as i. is intended to build at least thirty-fve miles of track this year. Mir. Abbot, with several other mem- bers of the company, will be in Seattle within the next week or ten days to consider several important matters in regard to the road. Two or three of the officials will go to the interior, in- cluding the contractor, J. P. Mcdonald.
 Through its intimate connection with the railway the exploration company will conduct all the stores along the line of the road across the country to the Yukon. In addition to these, stores will be opened at Valdes and other points, and trading posts are to be placed wherever it may be deemed advisable through the large district in- cluded in the Copper river and tributary valleys. Mining, too, will receive much attention, as the promoters of the railway have acquired extensive hold ings, both of copper and of gold. These include some of the most promising properties known to exist in Central Alaska. They will be developed as soon as transportation is available for the product.
 Another branch of the cOmpany's operations will be the esta ablishment of salmon and halibut canneries on Prince William sound and other points on the coast of Alaska.

BY MARCH l
Nome Will be Connected By Wire Win 0utide.
The Statement Made Recently m Seattle by 6tr. Greedy, Chief
 Signal Officer.

Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief signal off .cer of the United States army, says the line up the Panama will be finished and telegraphic communication will he ir effect be- ween Seattle and Nome by March l next. Gen. Greely visited Valdes during the summer and made a strip of 100 or more miles. inland along the line of the Valdes-Eagle telegraph line. This line, the general says, will be in operation the entire 400 miles across Central Alaska by September 1. Thus the Copper river valley will be connected by wire with the outside world during the coming winter. Gen. Greedy gave instructions for the repair of the Juneau-s'kagw cable, and the repairs have been completed.
 ''In little mere than five months we hope to send messages sfrom Washing. ton to Nome and receive au. answer the same day" said Gen. Greedy, recently in Seattle. "phis'result will be brought about by the wireless system to be established between Nome and St. Michael and by the completion Of line eof wire up the Tanana to connect with the line soon to be completed between Valdes and Eagle, or Fort Egber, on the Yukon. A temporary wire from Fort Gibbon and the Yukon system, tc connect with the Trans-Alaska line, will be ready for operation, hope, by March l. Two or three months later the permanent line will Joe ready for use.
 '''In my mind there is.Ao doubt tha, the wireless system between Nome md St. Michael will. prove satisfactory and 'Obviate the necessity of. Continually re. pairing the cable between the two .places. The movements of the ice make the task of keeping such cable in or der difficult one. In the interior the practical value of the Nisrconi or any other system is yet to- be demonstrated. am not relying upon the success ot the stations which am having established along the Panama river, but if teleg. raphy without wires is possibility in this locality great expense and trouble will be saved in keeping up metalic wires across several hundred miles ol cold and mountainous country. The distance to be bridged in. building east. ward from Fort Gibbon is about 26( miles. The frequency of the stations necessarily lessons the distance between each two and increases the probability of satisfactory communication. Eagle is already connected with Dawson.
 AJf the new telegraphy proves all
