$4,000 WORTH OF STOLEN
BONDS ARE RETURNED.
Carson Man Who Had Grip Taken In
Chicago. Plays in Big Luck.

CARSON. Feb. 26.-Charles
Wells. brother of Horace Wells of
this city. is rejoicing In the recovery
of about $4,000 worth OF bonds and
notes which were stolen from him in
Chicago.
He came here from Vermont and
while passing through Chicago, his
grip was stolen. In his grip was a
bundle of private papers, bonds,
notes and other securities worth
$1,000. Wells stayed in Chicago for
several days trying to get some trace
of them and was compelled to come
on to Carson.
A few days ago Postmaster Hofer
called him in and delivered him a
registered package containing every
one of his papers intact. The fact
that they were non negotiable by
other than the owner made them
worthless to the thief who sent them
to the post Office at Chicago. The
postmaster In Chicago notified the
bank In Vermont and the address be-
ing furnished the package was
registered and forwarded to Carson.
A few personal effects was all that
Mr.. Wells has lost.

TO EXCLUDE ALIENS.
Congress- Hears Talk-Chinese and
All Other Orientals In the Cate
CORY Must Go, Says Californian.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The Jap
anese question was the subject oi
brief consideration in the house to-
day during the consideration of the
sundry civil bill.
Representative Hayes declared that
the people of California would not
only exclude the Chinese from the
soil of their state, but also the Jap
anese and "all other Orientals in the
category"
The race problem in California
has not reached a state of mob yio-
lence," said Mr.. Hayes, "but is must
come. When men are hungry | look
for trouble. There are $4,000 white
men idle In San Francisco, and yet
in my district there are 10000 Jap
anese and nearly all of them are en-
ployed. believe l represent the
view of per cent of the people of
California in asking that congress
protect us from this menace and aid
in preserving the Pacific coast for
the Caucasian race. There is an i'm
mediate and pressing necessity to
stop the influx of Orientals."
Mr.. Hayes remarks were greeted
with applause by the Democrats.
Representative Champ Clark of
Missouri, expressed his approval of
the exclusion of the Japanese and
Chinese, which he said, was advocat-
ed not only by organized labor. but
by all labor.
II have been laboring man all
my life," said Mr.. Clark. Il started
out as a farm hand on a farm, and
am against this immigration. The
Caucasian race has always been the
dominant race as now, and will be
as long as there are any of us left. !"
While superior to Oriental races,
Mr.. Clark said the Caucasian race
cannot compete with the Chinese in
the matter of starvation.
''If you let them in" he continued,
you would starve our labor out It
is currently reported that there are
one million American laborers out of
employment"
Mr.. Clark added that he has had a
high regard for President-elect Taft
since the first time he met him.
When Mr.. Taft appeared before the
house committee on foreign affairs
in advocacy of excluding the Chinese
from the Philippines.
Representative Harrison, OF New
York. speaking in favor of Oriental
exclusion, said he would vote for
Japanese exclusion II he continues as
a member of the foreign affairs COM
mittee.
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,
declared the servant problem in this
country would be solved by the ad-
mission of Orientals, claiming that
500.000 domestic servants would not
displace the American servant.

biggest Copper Dis

The Ketchikan miner., 1909-04-24

Great Britain and German copper and brass mills. We produce D per cent of the worlds copper, and export 10 per cent of our copper as raw mater ials for manufacture. except the small tonuages that go to Canada in the form of rods to be drawn into wire. We ought to be able. under an enlightened policy to sell to the eastern hemi- sphere at least one-fo fourth of the cop Ter from mines controlled by United States shareholders in the form of tin- ished manufacture of copper and brass.
 Throughout the boom most of the exporters who applied to our copper and brass goods makers for goods were told that the home markets were more than could be taken care of with any degree of promptness in shipments. One of the largest shareholders in the greatest copper producing company in the nation had to bring personal in- f1uence to bear with makers of brass in the last boom year in order to get the materials for making a million brass lamps for China under con- tract worked up by the Shanghai agents for an American petroleum industry. Many other instances of the kind could be adduced If the pro- feet is successful it will mean expand ing markets fur American manufact- urers of conper and brass under wise methods for building up foreign and home markets as are eXemplified by our most progressive manufacturing corporations which have taken the whole world for the province of their selling departments.
 The small producer of copper need have no fears from such combna- tion. The domestic market must im- prove as general business revives, and whatever may be added to the export trade will stimulate production. One thing may be taken for granted prices cannot reach much lower level than at present maintains, and even slight advance will have stimulating effect. Copper zones are so diversified and so large that mining can not be cornered and in normal periods, demand will in crease. The big fellows will make barrels of money. of course, but while so doing the prudent little brothers will accumulate comfortable bank ac- counts.

Press special

4 rather astonishing story was printed not very long ago in the it. lustrated British weekly called Can ada; 4 letter from dissatisfied Englishman, @ho had come to the De- minion. was printed in an English newspaper and in il he condemned the country in all moods and lenses. The Canadian officials investigated the case and found that the writer of the letter was man who left his home in England for Winnipeg to work as a farm laborer. He was offered wor k on something like sixteen farms. and went out to one of them, but left the plight after his arrival because the cooking vas not done by a woman. He then telegraphed for money to take him home, and when he left WiDni- peg he complained chiefly because Of the high price of beer. Although he posed as an authority on the condition of the unemployed on Toronto and Montreal, IL was shown that he was only passed through these cities on a trail. waiting long enough to make connections. It also was shown that on his way out he had serious quar- rel with the steward Of the ship over the price of beer. It seems pity that such men should be permitted to be- little this country by letters to the press. Victoria Colonist.

Year by year the extent and rich ness of the Alaska mineral zone is proven by exploration and develop ment. Operations have assumed mag nitude and great capital is being in vested in dredging, hydraulicing and in deep mining. The variety of ores including the precious metals includes every known mineral of all other minirg countries of the world. Seward peninsula is reliable placer field along all the creeks and rivers and extends to the Arctic ocean shores The Dawson district is being reworked on a greater and deeper scale with great profit Fairbanks will be the center of tremendous energy in cop per development. It is predicted that this district will be to the copper center what northern Michigan is to the iron trade. Great coal deposits are contiguous to the Pacific and Arc tic shore Iire3, accessible for econom- ical transportation. The government is extending telegraph lines through out the development districts and rail- ways are projected to interior points.
 Alaska is not making so loud noise as it did several years ago, but the real color of all the profitable metals abounds in fabulous richness, and the country will increase in productive ness when other mineral zones are worked out. Operations this year will be on a larger basis than here tofore. Pacific Miner.

Copper Combine Coming

It is now proposed to form a con- munity of interest or combination to increase the disposal of manufactured copper and brass goods. If successful it will follow the lines of United Steel in creating export markets and hold ing prices firm and steady. Only larger capital can accomplish great re- suits and encompass the markets of the world. A New York banker, in close touch with the proposed combination, says:
 The low estate of our exports of finished copper and brass is highly discreditable. In ten years we have increased our exports of machinery gro per cent. But in the exports of finished copper and brass we stand on lower plans than we did fifty years ago reckoning our exports per unit Of population. For many years our copper and brass mills have been con- tent with the home markets. In good time these plants are usually from q month to three months longer in mak- ing shipments than is the rule in
