BISHOP POTTER LAUDS LABOR
Declares That Almost the Worst En-
envy of Progress in Human So
ciety Is the Spirit of caste"

almost the worst enemy of prog
ress in human society is the spirit OF
caste and the tragic element in the
constitution of our modern social
structure is that under forms of gov
eminent that profess long agoto
have renowned and abandoned it
it still rears it's head in forms
more insolent and more mis-
chievous than any that in any
age of history it has assumed" said
Bishop Henry c. Potter the other night
at Yale. in speaking of the citizen and
the capitalist. ain all our criticism
of trades unions we must recognize
that in the final analysis they stand

WIRELESS ~TELEGRAPHY.

conf.

Norfolk, Va, April 25.-General A.
W. Greeley, CHIEF OF the United States
signal service, passed through Norfolk
yesterday en- route to Washington.
General Greeley has been on the coast
witnessing the experiments in wireless
telegraphy being conducted between
Cape Henry and Roanoke Island. sixty
miles distant, by the experts in teleg-
raphy of the Unitel states weather
bureau.
The results of these experiments are
said TO ave been eminently satisfac-
tory to Genera, Greeley, who thinks
that the corps acting under Professor
Willis l. Moore, chief of the weather
bureau. have developed for the govern
ment, which obtains the benefit Of
their discoveries free, a system of
transmitting messages without wires
superior to the Marconi system.
General Greeley is enthusiastic over
b results achieved by Professors Fes-
sender n Thiesson and their asso-
ciates, who have been for many months
working ~arduousiy for the success they
have obtained.

COPPER RIVER AND ITS
 TREASURE OF MINERAL
A Clean Cut and Honest Statement of the Mineral Conditions as
 They Exist Today.

Of the many documents submitted by men of prominence and integrity in the field of mines and mining, the following excerpts taken from pa per by B. F. Willard. carries one into the profound belief that in area and wealth of the Copper river region, one can be but simply amazed and startled at the gigantic conditions that must necessarily and indisputa- bly, be in evidence to warrant the statements he voluntarily makes. He says
 The greatest copper belt in the world lies i'll what is known as the Chittyna valley. Here many claims have been located, the greatest of which no doubt is known as the Bo- nanza. You have had full descrip- ton from your expert of this proper ty. My own judgment on the same might not be amiss.
 1 claim there is Sl42000000 worth of copper at ten cents per pound in sight upon this great veln. Part of 1t lies in slides mixed with lime rock that will run Is per cent to 9 per cent copper. There are other slides that will run "A per cent copper, and in other localities 1t stands in place a pure copper glance sticking up many feet above the ground.
 It is true one has no right in esti mating the value of mines to go be- yond what is exactly in sight, but it takes no stretch of imagination to prove this vein rich in ore at least 100 feet deep, and if that be true Gin my mind there is no doubt of it's be- ing true) there are at least S700,- 100000 of ore in this vein. This vein as you will see by government reports is q contact Assure between lime and amygaloid and crops out to an extent of six miles. It lies in the neighbor hood of six thousand feet above sea level.
 There are many other copper veins in this locality, the details of which are not necessary to go into. The copper belt is however about 20x50 miles in extent, so far as discovered and proven.
 A railroad survey has been made from Valdez inland 32 miles, starting from Valdez Bay.
 In the Copper River valley lying along the proposed railroad from Val dez to the Yukon, there are from five to ten million acres of as fine farming land as you will find anywhere in the United States. It was an old lake bed, and the soil is as good as the soil of the Delta of Egypt.
 On the whole, there iS DO difficulty in regard to the possibilities of life ahd enjoyment in the interior of Alas ka. Transportation is inc only thing that is needed, and in few years the valley and Copper River vicinity will be teeming with an agricultural pop ulation and thousands 0f miners.
 (Signed.) B. F. WILLARD,
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1902-08-06

In line with the sentiment of the above report, the following appeared in the New York Commercial Adver- tiser of April 16th last, and coming as it does from such a well known and conservative man, will be found interesting as well as enlightening. His reference to Alaska is directly applicable to that section embraced in Valdez and the Copper river sec ton which lays adjacent:
 Captain J. J. Healy, who assisted ia forming the North American Transportation and Trading com pany. the great Alaskan concern, and who was for eight years its manager, deserves credit perhaps more than any other man for the development of Alaska in the last twenty years. Captain Healey has been almost sev- enteen years continuously in Alaska.
 Minerals and fish are the great pro ducts. Timber and coal furnish fuel in abundance. Aiaska's three great . est Eeels are railroads, railroads and railroads. It almost seems as if God has intended that country for rlin- ! erals-for a monster store house.
 Alaska will, in ti1e next thirty years, produce more minerals than the whole United States has produced iG tile thirty years just ended.
 The vast treasure-feld has only been scratched. No one has con caption of the possibilities and re- . sources of the country, to say noth- | ing of its vast and almost incompre- ' hensible extent
 Captain Healev has held fed eral offices in Alaska, and is one of

of far greater value than have ever been mined in the state of Montana.
 With the operation of these prop critics there is no doubt but what the price of copper will be dictated to the world from that locality.
 J. P. Mcdonald X Co, of B Nassau street, New York city, one of the largest railroad contracting companies in the world, have entered into a con- tract to construct the rail road, and have agreed to keep at least five thousand men at work continuously until the road is completed. The railroad company has S12,S00,0OO in its treasury avail able for the construction of this rail road.
 It is agreed that there shall be constructed at Valdez modern re- duction plant, which shall be as complete and ss fully equipped as any plant in the world, that is to say we propose to put in an electrolytic plant for the separation of the gold and silver from the copper; also a plant to turn out sheet and wire cop per. such as the market demands.
 A townsite company has also been ol ganized with a capital of Sl 100000 which embraces 2,000 acres, being the site selected and endorsed by United States government engineers as the best harbot on the Alaskan Coast, being available all the year round for marine purposes and having the ad- vantage of deep water at the docks.
 The townsite has been surveyed and wharves are now being construc- ted to receive the first cargo of rail road steel, construction supplies, etc, new en route to Valdez.
 Messrs. Shirley and Vanderbilt are very enthusiastic over their new pos sessions and confident that in the near future their representations will be more than fulfilled when the en- terprise is under practical operation They return to New York tomorrow, and will be located at : Wall street, where they have offices that are ele- gantly fitted up and commodious in

The Welcome Rain.

Prescott was visited on Saturday night by the best rain storm of the season. Of course it did not have to be a very big rain storm to beat the others of the season, but Saturdays storm was a very fair one. It lasted about half an hour, from 500 to S:30, and during that tune fifteen hun dredths of an inch fell. The railroad company yesterday received reports from points along it's line as follows concerning the Saturday night rain:
 Ash Fork, fine rain.
 Cedar Glade, light sprinkle.
 Jerome Junction, light sprinkle.
 P. X E. Junction, light rain.
 Iron Springs, light showers during night.
 Skull Valley and Kirkland, light rain during night.
 Cherry Creek and Huron, very heavy rain from s to 9 p. m.
 Mayer, no rain.
 Providence, very heavy rain from S:15 to 9:30.
 Poland, light rain during night.
 Prescott storm came from due east, a point from which storms rarely come. The electric display was something unusual also as flash fol- lowed flash of lightning, making all most one continuous roar of thunder.

NEW UNDERTAKING FIRM.
p. Holm & Company Are Row Es. tabIished and Ready For BusI- ness--A Cheerful Appearance Given to 4 Mournful
 Business.

An undertaking establishment is ordinarily suggestive of gloom rather than cheer, but in fitting up their new undertaking parlors. P. Mohn x Co. have robbed the suggestion of its reality. Their place is located on Montezuma street just north of Brinkmeyer'4 hotel and is in charge of Mr. Mohn.
 The place is very handsomely fit- ted up, although it is not yet com plete. The office and general recep- tion room are combined in one at present, but later the latter will be located in the rear of the office.
 On entering this office and recep- tion room nothing is seen to suggest the melancholy nature of the busi- ness, but rather a we'll furnished, family carpeted office presents itself to the visitor.
 The caskets on hand are kept out of sight entirely in a cabinet specially made for the purpose and are exposed only on application.
 The general stock is kept in the basement where the niorgue room is also located. The latter is equipped with all the latest appliances for em- balming and otherwise, caring for the bodies prepatory to burial.
 The company has also purchased one of the latest styles of funeral cars, probably the finest in the terri tory. They also have wagon for transporting bodies from surround- ing mining camps or from different parts of town to the parlors or to the morgue.
 MT. Mohn has had several years experience in the business in a prac- tical way besides having made a regular study of it in other ways and is prepared to give satisfaction tc all needing the serylces of one in h;: business.
