Chunks of Philosophy.

A mans head may be an acher and still not be as big as it feels.
 Contentment is better than riches. but the question in the unphilo- sophical mind is, how is a man go- ing to be contented unless he is rich?
 It would take a genuine philoso- pher to discover the reason why some of our citizens should be sat isfed with their condition in life.
 Any man has to be dead to be perfect.
 The key to happiness is not all ways attached to a wedding ring.
 There are so many more mean men than good ones that man is always under suspicion.
 All the consolation a dying sin ner can have is that he will not be left out in the cold.

E11amaf Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce of Ellamar held their first meeting at the office of J. Hayden. last Friday night. After organizing. the fol- lowing officers were elected:
 President, J. Hayden.
 Nice-President. James Noon.
 Secretary. Henry Weir.
 Principal Musician. Cal. Brosius.
 As all funds are put in liquida- tion as soon as received. it was not thought necessary to elect a treas urer. A committee from the Val dez Chamber was present and the members of it were elected honor ary members of the Ellamar organ ization.
 After considerable discussion it was decided that the Chamber would use its influence to have brewery started at Ellamar. All those present pledged themselves to support such an institution. and one of the prominent citizens offer ed to donate ground for the build ing.
 They also decided that the first thousand dollars raised by the Chamber, should be used to con struct an electric car line from El- lamar to Tatitlek. This is very important matter and should be pushed along as fast as possible. Nothing that could be done would have such tendency to stimulate business and increase the popula- tion of these cities, as system of rapid transit between them.
 After the business mcetin. ad- journed, the visiting members were entertained until d late hour with music and refreshments. The performances on the mandolin and guitar by the Principal Musician were very fine; the Siwash songs and limitations by the two big men brought down the house, and the less talented members of the crowd contributed. under compulsion. to the evenings amusement. The FL lamar Chamber will soon send a deputation to this city to confer with our organization in regard to having the freight rate on drink ables reduced. pending the estab- lishment of d brewery on the sound.

Copper in Alaska.

Copper was the first metal which was reported from Alaska. In l'41 the Bering expedition found it used among the natives of the southeast coast. It seems to have been extensively employed among the aborigines of Alaska. for many of the native languages contain d word signifying copper, when they lack a name for either iron or gold
 The Copper river took its name from the fact that large copper de- posits were reported to occur on its banks. The natives of the Copper river, the upper White and the up per Panama have long been known to have access to native copper de- posits, and it is probable that all the native copper in circulation previous to the ingress of the white traders, was obtained from these natives. They used it for arrow heads and later for bullets. Cop per being the only metal they had, it was used for variety of purpo- ses.
 A report was circulated prior to the rush in '9S that the natives possessed the art of hardening cop per. This probably originated from the fact that they had copper knives, but none have ever been found showing any evidence of having been hardened. Of course the native copper, owing to the all loy it contains, is much harder than the refined copper.
 The extent to which the inter- tribal trade in copper was carried, is witnessed by the fact that copper utensils are in use by the Indians of Queen Charlotte island. These were obtained by barter from the Chilkats, who in turn secured the metal from the Indians of the in- terior, probably from White river.
 At present copper has compar- atively limited use among the na- tives. The bows and arrows have been supplemented by firearms, and trading posts being so access lble, there is no reason for their manufacturing copper bullets or arrow heads.
