After three years and naif as the
star game warden of Alaska, Chris C..
Shea of Seward has been removed
from Office by Governor Clark, and
no reason is given for the change.
Very recently cablegrams were
published in the Sound papers to the
effect that following the fall of vol
CAMS dust in the vicinity of Seward,
the bears had become bold and rapa-
cious, and that Game Warden Shea
had authorized their destruction. 1t
was not believed at the governors
office at the time that the statement
as to Shea's action was true, and it is
not known either, outside of the gov
ernor's Office, whether this incident
had anything to do with the removal.
Governor Clark, beyond the bare an
nouncement of the removal and the
appointment of successor, declined
to discuss the matter.

Nearly week ago the grand jury
at Juneau issued secret indictment,
the nature of which soon leaked out
and caused much commotion in court
circles. The man indicted is Joseph
Mcdonald, formerly superintendent
of the Treadwell mines, but who has
lived in Mexico for several years past.
A wire this morning states that his
arrest was caused yesterday at Guam
ajuato. He is charged with the MUIR
der of N. c. Jones, about eight years
ago. The latter was a religious fana-
tic and frequently importuned Mr..
Mcdonald to close down the mines
on Sunday and to have religious in
struction among the employees. One
morning these two men met on the
street and high words followed, after
which Mcdonald pulled a gun and
fired shot. The bullet proved fatal.
A coroner's inquest had a hearing
and returned verdict that the kill
ing by Mr.. Mcdonald was done in
self-defence. 1t seems that there has
always been considerable doubt as
to whether the grand jury heard the
true version of the alteration. But
the matter has been allowed to lie
dormant until recently, when it was
again agitated and finally Drought to
the attention of the grand jury, with
the result that an indictment was re-
turned against Mcdonald. He will
likely be brought to juneau at once
and be tried at this term of court.

The Knnecott Mines Company,
which is the name of the Guggen-

ANA copper property in the Copper
river country, is taking out a great
deal of ore and shipping it constantly.
It is of high grade, and consider
able part of it is worth $40, 900 to the
carload.
This is the statement of William J.
Bowen, Seattle mining man, who
has returned to his home, after a visit
to the Copper river region.

Mr.. Bowen, lis an immensely rich
section, and | believe it has Won
derful future in store for it. At the
Bonanza mine rich copper ore is
being taken out and shipped from the
main mine. This is not the richest
ore in the Bonanza. but it is great
stuff.
There are many other promising
mines in the making of that section.

transportation facilities must be pro-
vided"

ed under the ban. However, sim
the recent election the sentiment has
greatly changed and there is a gen.
eral feeling that the Democrat. poll
cy will be a liberal one toward >las-
ka, and that development will be
favored along the same lines that re-
suited in the successful opening up
and growth of the mineral states of
the west.
Mr.. Gray believes that the report
of the Alaska Railroad Commission
will be favorable to Cordova as the
sea coast terminus of trunk line.
But from what he could CLEAN he had
doubts about it being the policy of
the Democratic administration to en-
gage in railroad construction and op-
Grafton. He rather inciinss to the
opinion that they will favor some
other method of securing the desired
results for Alaska Possibly suaran-
teeing the bonds of a railroad COM
pany, allowing them subsidy, or in
some substantial way extend en-
enlargement such as would induce
the building of railroads in Alaska
by one or more companies. He says
that Vice President Thomas Msrshall
is particularly interested in this
northern country and that ne has
been making an investigation of con-
ditions for several months past.
Mr.. Gray is particularly optomistic
ever the dawn of a near and bright
future for Alaska. He believes that
the time is almost at hand when rail-
road construction, the opening of
the coal fields, the shipment of vast
quantities of copper ore from various
properties, the construction of smell
ters. the establishment of various in
dustries, the development of fertile
agricultural valleys, will tend to
justify the faith that a patient peo-
pie have exercised during the days
of adversely.

Cordova, Dec. q.
E. F. Gray, one of the owners and
general manager of the Great North
ern Development Company mining
property at Copper Mountain, was
an arrival on the steamer Mariposa
last night. He was in New York
when the recent snow avalanche
buried and killed nine of his en-
ployees and completely destroyed
all his buildings and machinery. He
states that when he was informed by
wire of the terrible fatality he could
scarcely believe it possible, as there
had never previously been any indi-
cation of a snow slide at this particu-
lar part of the mountain, and he
wired back for confirmation of news.
During his trip outside he had ar
ranged for adding to his plant and
putting in heavier machinery, so as
to more effectively and rapidly Sc
cure depth and still further open up
the mine so as to make it a steady
shipper, in anticipation of the early
construction of a branch line of the
railroad from Strelna to his prperty
Now all his plans are changed and
it will be necessary to arrange for an
entire equipment. In the meantime
the mine is closed down, and must of
necessity remain so until new build
ings are erected and machinery in
stalled. Unless it is possible to de-
cided on new plans, order material.
have it shipped from the outside and
hauled over the snow and ice from
the railroad junction, distance of
sixteen miles, all within the next
three months, it will be necessary to
wait until next winter. While Mr..
Gray is hopeful that he can get things
in shape to soon resume operations,
he fully realizes the strong probabili-
ty that the mine will have to remain
practically closed down for rhe en-
suing year.

A short time ago it was supposed
that the Mother Lode Copper Mines
Company had arranged to settle it's
differences with Jack Miller, but the
matter is still in the courts at Seattle,
where Miller makes his home when
he is not in Slate Creek, Alaska.
The company was incorporated in
1907 for $4,000, 900, through the pur-
chase 0 mining claims adjourning the
Bonanza mine, from the locators, J.
Fl Smith, Oscar Horlund and Oscar
Sail. The corporation now seeks to
procure one-third interest in the
mine held in trust by Jot or nr
to collect $4,000 dana 80
In turn Miller has just Glled an
answer and cross-complalnt. He
charges that he is entitled to $1,000
shares of the companys stock that he
cannot procure, and that he stan Is

terest whenever the company returns
to him approximately $50, 900 that he
paid to the original owners and ex-
pended in attending to the assess
ment work.
James ]. Godfrey, of Seattle, is
president OF the corporation. J. w
Robinson, of Seattle, is vice president
and counsel, and c. L. Warner, nov
of New York, is secretar- enl treas
urer. The latter is one of the original
locators of the Bonanza mine
The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1912-12-31

Mr. Gray will leave on the first
train and go direct to Copper Noun
tain to look over the situation and de-
tcrmine upon location for new build
ings. He will then go On to the Re-
gal property, located neac Kennecott
glacier and about four miles from the
terminus of the railroad. His men
have been engaged in packing sup
plies to this property, which he pro-
poses opening up on a large scale.
He will then return to Cordova and
hopes to be able to catch the steamer
on January Sth for Seattle, and from
there to go on to New York to COM
suit with his associates and definitely
decide upon plans for future working.
While deeply deploring the loss of
life that recently occurred, Mr.. Gray
is particularly anxious to do all with
in human power to prevent repeti-
ton of any such sad catastrophe.
While on his recent trip east Mr..
Gray states that he noticed a most
decided change from the radical con-
servation sentiment that had been
poisoning the minds of the people
against Alaska and the western
states. Now instead of favoring the
indefinite tying up of the resources
of this northern country, the people
generally believe that a great injus-
tice has been done and they are anx-
ious to see favorable legislation such
as will encourage the large expendi-
ture of capital and start the wheels
of industry and prosperity, in Alaska.
Among the large capitalists in
New York, Boston. Philadelphia and
other eastern cities, Mr.. Gray found
that there was much apprehension
with reference to titles in Alaska
They feared that if Secretary Fishers
leasing policy were to find support
and endorsement by Congress that
ere long not only the coal, but the
mineral lands as well, would be plac-

Several applications have been
made to Governor Clark for the es-
tablishing of schools for white chill
dren in localities outside of incorpor-
ated cities. Under the present law
the governor says, there is no fund
available for such purposes except in
such settlements as have 20 or more
children of school age. Most of these
calls for aid in the matter have come
from communities where the number
is below the minimum required by
law; such places as Kennecott and
McCarthy's.
Gov. Clark says there is lots of
money in the school fund-more than
can be legitimately used under the
present provisions of the law. The
governor adds that at his solicita-
ton Senator Nelson intoduced and
passed measure to allow of school
organization in settlements possess
ing l 5 children of school age. This
bill did not come up in the H ouse.

ALASKA COAL FOR NAVY

Sumner S. Smith, mine inspector
for Alaska. accompanied by his es-
Unable wife, arrived in Cordova last
night from Katalla, where he and r.
Y. Williams, mining engineer,
spent the past three months in charge
of the technical work of the govern
ment expedition into the Boring river
coal fields. C. A. Fisher and w. r.
Calvert, consulting biologists, repre-
sented the Navy department, which
received an appropriation of SIS, 200
just before the last Congress adjourn
ed to investigate Alaska's coal for use
in the navy.
Mr.. Smith states that while the
work of mining the coal was slow and
expensive the party had 855 tons of
coal sacked, piled in great heaps
along the trail and ready for ship
ment. 1t is planned to haul this
fuel on sleds for six miles to the head
