TALKS OF ALASKA
 COPPER IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Aug. 5.-Ambler J. Stew. art, vice president of the Alaska Cop per Corporation, of New York, which owns about Q thousand acres of cop per bearing land in Alaska, has just returned from three weeks trip to the company's mining district and is stopping at the New Washington on his way home.
 Mir. Stewart has with him several specimens of the two kinds of ore pro dueed by the corporations mines. some of 1t Is a beautiful blue bornite and some of sort of fools gold, known as chalcopyrlte, sprinkled through var ious kinds of rock in bright yellow patches.
 '"The copper mines in the United States yield an ore which runs from l to per cent in copper taken off the vein. This of ours runs from 40 to 70 per cent, and at the Tacoma shelter they say that the bornite is the easiest copper ore in the world to reduce.
 Our mines are on the kushkulana river, tributary of the Chitina short distance from where 1t flows into the Copper river. J. P. Morgan has prom ised to build railroad to 1t in case the production warrants. We have taken out about $15,0O00OO in three years, so you can see that the produc. ton warrants 1t. but we are going to build our own railroad. eighteen miles long. into the heart of the district. We are taking out 200 to 300 tons of ore day, which is of course low as com pared to the big mines in America, but the amount of metal we get from 1t compares very favorably with any of them."-Seattle Post.Intelligencer.

FAIRBANKS RIFLEMEN
 TO HAVE TOURNEY

FAIRBANKS. Aug. l. - Somewhat later than in former years, the mem- bers of the Panama Valley Rifle club will meet in the near future to arrange schedule for the number of con tests that are to be held at the range this summer. A number of trophies are to be contested for. and the ofl- cers of the club expect to see some interesting matches.
 Owing to the fact that mosquitoes have been more troublesome at the range this year than iu the past few seasons, the shoot has been post. poned for a few weeks. Now that the new company of soldiers has arrived at Fort Gibbon. it is stated that a number of the members of the club are anxious to arrange a match the same as held the last two years, and invitations may be issued to the army men.

DIFFERENCES AMONG
 FAIRBANKS SOCIALISTS

There is lack of harmony among Fairbanks Socialists. The Alaska So- cialist, published at Fairbanks, has declared war upon the methods that were adopted to secure the nomination of Jack Brooks, and says Lena Morrow Lewis used machine" methods and violated the secret ballot.
 The Socialist says:
 "The action of Lena Morrow Lewis, in compelling the members of the So- cialist party to write their names on the back of the ballot, while voting on the referendum for candidate for Del. egate to Congress, has been severely condemned by many Socialists and oth- CTS, and it is said that a great number of them have stated that they will not abide by the result of the corrupt method used by her to carry out her apparent purpose-the nomination of Brooks.
 Lena Morrow Lewis, who if she could get enough people to join her machine, would then, through such ma chine become political boss of Alaska and we would then have the same kind of government. probably. in Alaska that they had in the National office of the Socialist party about 1910. We want no political bosses in Alaska, not even Socialist bosses"
 On the other hand, Socialists of Fairbanks have passed resolutions con demning and repudiating the Alaska Socialist.

LONDON CAPITALISTS
 SUE J. E. cHlLBERG

NOME, Aug. 1.-J. E. Chilberg Of the Scandinavian American bank of Seattle and an official and stockholder of the Pioneer Mining company of Nome has been made the defendant in a suit for $2OO,OOO by London capi- talists who claim that Chilberg mis- represented the value of the holdings of the Pioneer Mining company and and by this misrepresentation induced them to pay more for the stock than it was worth. The complaint states that the property is not worth half what Chilberg said it was worth when he sold it to them. The plaintiffs are a syndicate which was induced, ac' cording to the complaint by Chilberg to buy into the property some time ago. Chilberg himself is a member of the company and the president is Jafet Linderberg who is one of the dis coverers of gold at Nome and is also a large shareholder in the Scandin- avian bank.
 Chilberg is declared to have been the chief instrument in the selling of the stock of the company.
