in the heart of the true Alaska prospec-
tor. Smith and Warner gave fractional
interests in the copper lode to nine friends
and associates.
When they made the location the two
men were prospecting with four or five
others, and it had been agreed at the
start that all were to share in any dis
covery made by any member of the party.
Out of gratitude to Col. AbercrOmbie.
government army officer, who gave them
great assistance, the prospectors gave
him an interest. Then further division
occurred when it was necessary to raise
money to do the annual assessment work.
They had to buy dozen horses every
year and canned food sufficient to last
a dozen men for six to eight months.
One of the party took the role of hunt
err and supplied the camp with fresh
mountain sheep and bear meat.
The trip inside was made in winter be-
cause by using sleds drawn by horses
ton of grub could be taken in over the
snow by each sled. In summer it was
necessary to pack the supplies on the
back of a horse, and two hundred and
fifty pounds was the limit for each horse,
owing to the steep hills to climb. The
wind blew so fiercely on the summit at
times that horse and sled were blown off
the trail and down declivities into soft
snow fifty or one hundred feet below.

Meantime the commercial side OF the
railroad proposition will be developing
with giant strides. When the coal lands
near Katalla and in the Matanuska dis
trict are open to location and the coal Is
available for the locomotives on the rail
road and for smelters, which will I'm
doubtedly be erected on the sea coast, the
nickel will add to the growing wealth
OF the Copper river region.

mine they own the Jumbo, in close prox-

To the west are numerous properties

and ending at the Kotsina river where
are located the first copper claims dis

The development promises to be rapid

his time in Chicago, but he. too. makes
a trip every year to the Copper river belt
