Survey To Be Made For
Trail To Beaver Dam

on all kinds of mining machinery is
another proof. And it may be said
that the arguments of those who set
up straw men so as to knock them
down in order to try and injure the
railway interests, by asserting, fol
one thing, that the Guggenheims are
trying to keep capital out of the
country, are hardly borne out by the
unremitting efforts of the railway
officials to get capital interested.
Industrial Agent Kerr, with the
cooperation of Agent Berry and 9TH
er of the railway officials are busy
constantly advertising the resources
of Alaska, with view of interesting
capital, and special car will be
placed at the disposition of invest
ors who wish to make the trip from
Cordova over the line at any time.

MAKES RECORD TRIP WITH
MAIL TO FAIRBANKS

According to the Orr stage COM
pany drivers and all old-time Alas
kan freighters and mushers, the fast
est time ever made over the trail,
went on record last week, when
Manager Jesse Martin took the de-
layed mail from here to Fairbanks
in three days, II hours and 80 min
utes.
At the time the delayed mail ar
rived in Chitina the Orr stage driv-
ers were all out on the trail, but
Manager Martin did not hesitate, and
loading up the mail, took the rib
bons himself and started out to
make up as much lost time as pos
sible He met the south bound stage
beyond Tonsina and turning them
back hit the high spots all the way
in to Fairbanks, making the spien-
did time as above mentioned.
Little has been said so far of the
Orr stage company, their competent
officials and efficient drivers. but the
Leader desires to go on record as
saying that too much credit cannot
be given the management of this
stage company for the able manner
in which the mail and passenger
schedules have been handled this sea-
son. Considering the worst winter
in years, the thirty-nine miles of new
trail. and the unavoidable delays of
the train which naturally upset their
time and connections, they are to be
equally commended with the katal-
la Company in maintaining a service
/. far better than the people of Alas
ka have yet enjoyed, despite adverse
conditions.

TEN INTERIOR INSANE
TO BE SENT TO MOUNT TABOR

1t will require two stages to bring
out the consignment of insane per-
sons in the federal jail at Fairbanks.
Six of these have just arrived from
the Iditarod, two are from Fort Glib
bon, one from Circle and the other
from Fairbanks. The demented pa
tlents and their guards are due in
Cordova shortly aid their uransporta-
ton from the interior will be no
small job. However, in the absence
of detention hospital they cannot
be kept there until the opening OF

SHIPMENT
Of COPPER IN
APRIL
(From Cordova Daily Alaskan)

(From Cordova Daily Alaskan)
The tracks of the Copper River &
Northwestern railroad will be laid
to mile 189 this evening. and but SIX
more miles of the road are to be COM
pleted before the Bonanza mine at
Kennicott is connected by rail with
Cordova.
The construction work Is being
pushed as rapidly as possible and as
there is but orc mere trestle to build
it is believed that the road will be
completed by April /. This means
that within two weeks the first train
load of the richest copper ore ever
shipped will be hauled from the ia
nous Bonanza mine to COrdova.
Thousands of sacks have been sent
to Kennicott and most of them are
now filled with ore.
When the results of this shipment
are made known by the Tacoma
smelter the richness of this big body
of copper will startle the world and
will attract the attention of the out
side world to Cordova as a mineral
producer.
In order to properly commemor-
ate the arrival of this first shipment
of ore in Cordova 1t has been sug-
gested that half holiday be declar-
ed the afternoon the train arrives
here and big celebration be arrang-
ed on what shall be known as Cop
per Day." Mayor Chase and Presi-
dent Adams. of the Chamber Of Com
merce. are heartily in favor of the
movement and will likely jointly ap-
point committees. to take charge OF
the arrangements.

]. J. Barry announces that the rail-
road is having a survey made for
wagon road or trail from the right
of way to the Beaver creek mining
district.
A number of properties are oper-
ating in that section, some of them
on large scale, and the showing
made is sufficient to warrant the be-
lief that the district will become a
large gold shipper. At the present
time the volume of trade amounts
to considerable, and with the better
facilities that will be afforded by
means of a wagon road or good trail
from the railroad, the trade will rap
dly increase and afford additional en-
couragement for opening the district
on a much larger scale than is now
possible.
Evidence is forthcoming almost
daily that it is the disposition of the
railroad to do all in it's power to
assist in the development of the ter
ritory tributary to it's line. The re-
duction just made in freight rates

PADDY MORRISY
INHERlTS MONEY

1t has just been learned that Pad
dy Morrisy has been left an estate
back in Massachusetts, and that he
will leave on Mondays train for the
outside. He will go to the Bonanza
mine to spend St. Patrick's day and
gather a few specimens to take back
with him.
Mr. Morrisy is an old sour-dough
and has a wide reputation. He serv-
ed several years in the U. S. navy
and was one of the stars of the fleet,
as he was a splendid boxer and a
fine singer, which, together with his
Irish wit, made him a good enter
tainer. After leaving the service he
followed sporting circles for while.
His first prominence was when he
fought Jack Dempsy a Aground
draw, and again when he fought Tom
Sharkey and knocked him out in the
goth round. But, like the rest of
us. he came to Alaska in the palmy
days, and was in the klondike; anu
Dawson. He worked on the White
Pass and also on the Alaska Cen
trail and later came to Katalla and
has since been on the C. r. & N. w.
He worked on the caissons at the
glacier and was the life of the whole
camp. We feel sorry to see him
leaving at this time, and Paddy him
self says now that the prospecting
game will soon be good he hates to
pull out but he must attend to the
hard and sordid CALI of money, and
will leave the best land on earth for
few months. Congratulations
Paddy, ''owld SOUL" and may you
be back with us ere the frost comes
again.

Prospector Frozen in a
Cabin Near Mile 1913

At mile SO, on the c. R. & N. w.
there Is a cabin which stands some
three or four hundred yards from
the track, on Thunder creek. On last
Sunday afternoon John King. fore
man Of the working crew which is
being used along the line to clear
ice and snow below Tiekel, and
man by the name Of Weiss. knowing
of the cabin in that vicinity. thought
they'd look around, and on going up
to the cabin found it nearly covered
by drifting snow. They had to SHOW
ell a way to the cabin and found 1t
closed with two or three thicknesses
of canvass. On making an entrance
they were ne.rly overcome by SICK
ening smell, and to their horror
found the body of dead man in an
emaciated and nearly unacceptable
condition. The man was lying in bed
in a natural position and between the
legs of the deceased was the body
of a dead cat. From all appear
ances the man had evidently died of
sickness or exposure. There was a
fireplace in the cabin. but no wood,
and the only conclusion to arrive
at is that deceased was too i'll to cut
wood to keep him from freezing.
There were plenty Of provisions in
the cabin, and $3.50 in gold coin was
found in a money belt. Letters and
personal effects of the deceased show
that his name was B. A. Hinkle.
Books on Mormonism were found
and badge showing he belonged to
the American Federation of Miners
at Ely. Nevada, the latter proving
that he was a mining man. The wit
nesses, John King and Ralph Weiss,
claim to have seen the man at Tie
KEEL last summer, though he was not
in the employ of the company. He
was last seen on January 10th and
has no doubt been dead for num-
Der of weeks.
DR.. Whiting, who came down from
the front to examine the body, gave
it as his opinion the man had evil
IDENTIFY been dead since early Febru-
airy, for the body had started to part
ly decompose from the soft weather

at that ii e, and the unacceptable
condition of the face was due to the
cat having eaten part of it.
The body was brought to Chitina
on Monday nights train, and a cor
oner's jury summoned early Tues
day morning to inquire into the
cause of death. The coroner has
written the places in the states
where the man is likely to be known
and in the meantime instructed the
deputy marshal to prepare the body
for burial here.
Funeral services we're held at the
Red Dragon club house on Friday
afternoon, and a fitting respect shown
the unknown dead before interment
at the Chitina cemetery.

In opening the theatrical season,
George Pollard, manager of Royal hall,
gave theater goers one of the best en-
tertainments seen here for long time.
"A Married Bachelor" as presented
Monday evening was musical farce
that pleased all who attended. 1t was
certainly good advertisement for Mr..
Pollard and the public may rest assured
that he has booked other equally good
attractions for the coming fall and
winter.
The disposition is everywhere pres
ent to lay little heavier burden of
taxation upon nonresident property
owners than the home folks, though the
justice of it can hardly be defended.
We regret therefore to see that our
neighboring city, Stoughton, is engaged
in considerable difficulty in adjusting
the assessment upon property in that
city to the satisfaction of those inter-
ested in paying the taxes. Assessor
VIM. HI. Clarke was called before the
board of review there Saturday to give
testimony as to the value placed npon
Edgerton tobacco. 1t appears that
while the 1910 tobacco in Stoughton
was assessed at SIS and SIS per case,
the 1909 crop in store there was as
sessed at $24 per case, to which the
owners strenuously objected. A uni
e.. &0I Sc
ally agreed upon throughout the state,
but it so happened that the 1909 tobac
co held there belonged to non-residents
and this fact led to all the trouble. 1t
is alleged that the assessment of nearly
all property in Stoughton has been
boosted this year, probably in view of
a tremendously high tax coming, and a
raise of valuation might tend to hold
the rate within the limited per cent.
Mr.. Clarke stated that an assessment
from SIS to SIS case for the leaf was
low, not it's true value, but in Rock
county it was decided at the meeting
of assessors and approved by the county
supervisor of assessments to favor the
tobacco and manufacturing industries.
Mr.. Clarke has lived in Edgerton more
than AZ years and has been assessor for
IA or Is years. He might have also
added that there has always been
disposition in Edgerton to treat the to-
bacco interests fairly as an inducement
to do business in our city. Another
point in it's favor is that insurance
rates have recently been reduced on to-
bacco risks here.
