Health Boards Urge Its
Prohibition.
Several States and Cities
Have Acted.
PETITION THE LEGISLATORS.

"The deadly drinking cup" may
be the subject of prohibitory legis-
lation In Kentucky, If the advice of
the state. county and city boards Of
health and the Paducah Woman's
club, is followed.
At a recent meeting of the Wo-
mans club, the following resolution
was adopted:
Whereas, the public drinking
cup, besides being so uncleanly, is
a great disseminator of disease:
therefore,
Be it resolved, that we, of the
Woman's club of Paducah, Ky, do
most earnestly petition our repre-
sentative, Hon. f. E. Graves, and
our senator, Hon. w. v. Eaton. to
Introduce and to use their influence
to have passed bill, prohibiting the
use OF the common drinking cup in
all schools. public and private, in
all eleemosynary institutions, all
hotels. railway stations, trains.
steamboats, and at all public drink
ing fountains; and that we secure
the endorsement of the city, county
and state boards of health to this
petition"
The endorsement has been secured
to the local members of the legisla-
ture.
Many States Act.
Many states are abolishing the
drinking fountain for obvious reas-
ons, and substituting the bubble
fountain. The Oklahoma board of
heard used a cartoon depicting a
drinking cup as skull, and the le-
gend: zone drinking fountain can
spread more disease in an hour than
a board of health can. eradicate in a
year"
The truth of this is confirmed by
physicians. who point to the fact
that people with communicable dis
eases drink from these cups, particu-
larly on trains and in railroad sta
tions. and thirsty travellers inocu-

MANY NEW GOLD STRIKES
 ALONG THE COPPER RIVER

tivity. Another substantial property
 is located in Abercrombie canyon,
 which is 50 miles out from Cordova. This property is almost on the rail- road. About 12O feet of tunneling has been done on the ledge, and it is said to average nine feet wide. The owners are so well pleased with the showing that they are going to build ore bunkers this winter in prepara- tion for shipping.
 On Canyon creek, which is near Chitina, prospecting for placer gold has revealed deep gravel that is said
 to go more than 50 cents to the cubic yard, with pans of ten cents on bed rock at depth of 20 feet.
 Although the railroad has only re- gently started up the Chitina basin the expectation of it's coming has car ried the mining stimulus ahead up into the basin. There has been con- siderable development in the estab- lished copper properties and some new copper strikes are reported. E. G. Roundtree, George Miekle and John Canning, who spent the sum- mer prospecting on the Kotsina, re-
 port locating copper ledge fifteen
 miles from the mouth of the river,
 with which they are we'll pleased.
 The ledge is thirty feet wide and
 they have gone in ten feet on it.
 The ore is of excellent grade and the showing looks so we'll that they will try to put it in shipping shape next
 summer. Reports on the copper
 properties are also especially favor able from Dan creek and the Kusku-
 lana. A number of men have been
 prospecting the gravels of the upper Chitina this year for the first time.
 It has long been expected that the exploration of this territory would
 produce good results, but heretofore
 the district has been so difficult to
 get supplies into that very few men
 have got that far and there is still
 much virgin territory. Good pay has haav, fo,,rJ thio voor E0 v,;Ioc oon+

W. H. Seagrave, superintendent of the Beatson mine on Latouche is- land, was in town yesterday on his way to the states on short busi- ness trip. MT. Seagrave left on the steamer Victoria, which vessel was taking out 750 tons of copper ore to the Tacoma shelter.
 But few people realize the develop ment work that is going on at this mine, which, until recently acquired by the Alaska Syndicate, was not aiding much to the output from this territory. Where formerly force of half a dozen men were employ ed there are now seventy men on the pay roll. and 1t is expected that this number will be increased to over a hundred within a short time.
 Bunkers of the latest type of ca pacity of three thousand tons are in use The dock is being extended so that steamers can lay there at all stages of the tide, and the loading capacity has been increased to 200 tons an hour. While workmen were recently excavating on the property for the laying of water pipe line, a new ledge of high grade ore Stas uncovered at depth of three feet. It has been traced for a considerable distance and promises to prove as high grade as any that is now being shipped.
The Chitina leader., 1910-11-26

The completion of the railroad from Cordova to Chitina has greatly stimulated mining activity in the Copper River valley and it's tribu- taries. It is precisely what was ex- pected that is happening though the results in the past two or three months have been even more mark ed than could have been hoped for. Cordova is rivaling Valdez and Sew ard in it's active interest in lode min ing. Numerous finds have been made and there is a movement to invest capital in their development. More and more it is becoming apparent that the coastal ranges along the Gulf of Alaska are amazingly we'll miner alized.
 In the Lake Mckinley section. which is but 25 miles inland from Cordova and but three miles from the railroad, there is substantial ac- tivity. A small test mill is now pounding on ore there with most fa- vorable results. Prospectors have been at work in this section for sev- eral years and considerable real de- velopment work has been done. They brought in favorable reports and many excellent samples of gold-bear- ing quartz, but until recently the dis trict has never been exported nor any considerable amount of money put into it. One of the best locations in the district was made by Capt. Storey about five years ago. He had so much faith in his find that he invest ed ten thousand dollars in develop ment and in buildings, steamer and dock. His tunnel, however, failed to find the ledge and he gave up with the idea that the ore was all at the surface. Since then fur ther exploration has shown that Capt. Storey was running alongside the vein and missing it by only a few feet The ledge has now been cross cut and shows several feet of ore. Under lease the property has been equipped and the mill just mention ed erected and started.
 There are a number of other prom ising prospects in the section and one of these has just been taken over by local capital. This is the Wal ker-Erickson property from which about 200 tons of ore has been min ed that contains 8 little visible free gold and has been determined to be of high grade. The ledge has been traced for mile and varies in width from one to fifteen feet.
 A recent strike at the head of Salmon river in the Mckinley lak,
The Chitina leader., 1910-11-26

district is reported. The ledge is said to be 15O feet wide and trace able for half a mile. Samples show ing visible free gold have been brought from there, but so far there has been little development. Another strike is reported from near the rail- road at Alaganik, which is the near est point to Mckinley lake. The vein is said to be four feet wide and some of the quartz speckled with gold.
 Renewed activity in the Bremner river section, somewhat further in land, is reported and there also quartz lodges carrying free gold have been discovered. The lodges there, although not so sensationally rich as the Valdez showings, average great CT width. One ledge located by Levi Decker is IS feet wide on the sur face.
 There has been considerable plac- CT mining on Bremner river this year again and, although the miners were handicapped by high water, they have in some places been taking out from one to two ounces of gold day to the man. Operators have been look ing over the ground this year to de- eide it's possibilities for ,dredge min ing and their report is said to be favorable. F. A. Smith, who recent ly came out from the section, was much impressed by the showing and was also much interested in the plen- tifulness of black bears. He says they pay little attention to the men, spending their time catching salmon along the streams. As their hides are of no value in summer, they were unmolested by the miners. Ed. Sel- lers killed one, however, and apolo- gized for it, giving as his excuse that he did not mind associating with the bears in the daytime, but he would be blamed if he would sleep with them on the same bar at night. On Eagle creek, near mile 1OS of the railway, there have been two or three discoveries of gold bearing quartz. One of these is ledge from ten to fifteen feet wide which out crops for 1,500 feet, sample assays showing gold throughout. Early in the spring a trail is to be built from the railroad and substantial develop ment begun.
 We'll defined outcrops of galena and silver are reported near mile 122 and still another strike has been made at mile 127, short distance below tho town of Chitina, which is already a center of prospecting ac-

ore bins have also been erected, all the lumber for the buildings being native lumber and answering every purpose. The machinery for the crushers and concentrators, as we'll as the power for the electric and steam plants to be installed early in the new year, will be run from a head of water from a dam construct ed across National creek.
 The Bonanza mine will make its first shipment in March and will send thereafter 2,000 tons of copper ore per month to the shelter. This ore runs more than seventy per cent cop- per, and only this high grade quality is being sacked for shipment. It un- dergoes a sorting process and ore running more than twenty per cent is thrown on the dump, which will go through the crushers and con- centrates.
 At the present price of copper every monthly shipment from the Bonanza mine will be worth $2S0 : 900 or $3,360,000 per year, making grand aggregate production of over $5,O00,000 annually from the Bon- anza and Beatson mines, which are tributary to Cordova and only two of the many hundreds of properties in this section that will be yielding copper and gold quartz for years to come.

PRODUCING COPPER MINES
Cugqeneim Properties Bonanza and Beatson Contrib uting an Immense Sum to the Output of Alas
 ka in High Grade Copper Ore.

Yesterdays vessel took out a ship ment of T5O tons to the shelter and all boats south stop in at Latouche and load this ore. The steamer La touche is today taking on 1000 tons. Development has progressed so rap means that just one of the many properties owned by the Guggen- helms in Alaska is adding over $150,- 900 per month or nearly $2,000,00O idly that the mine will ship 5000 tons per month for the winter, which is a remarkably good showing. This a year to the output of this northern country. This is passing the value of the ore at $50 per ton, which is a very conservative estimate of it's aver age run.
 By March 1 the Copper River & Northwestern railway will be oper- ating to Kennecott, where the famous Bonanza mine is yielding high grade copper. In preparation for the be- ginning of the regular ore shipments at that time the Bonanza mine has been undergoing many Improvements. The buildings for the installation of a large mill in January are already completed; an S0foot extension to the tram terminals and transfer bunkers, ore chute and housing from tram terminals to the track are now ready.
