FLAG AT SUMMIT
 IS DILAPIOATEO

Juneau EmUire: Her patriotism fired by the condition of the Amcrt- can flag at the summit of the White Pass railroad, where Yukon ter- tory meets Alaska, Mrs. Albro Akin of New York, a tourist on the steamship City of Seattle, to- day lodged with Gov, J. F. A. Strong a protest, yoicing the mGg- nation of other passengers aboard the City of Seattle, who were forced to pass the Summit and see Old Glory neglected and forlOrn, while the Union Jack floats proudly across the line on the soil of the Crown.
 Mrs. Akin wrote her protest, as the governors office was not open when the Seattle" stopped here early this morning. She said :
 "Will you kindly make inquiries at skagway .of customs officials and others, of the disgraceful con- dition o' the American flag at White Pass? The flag is only pieces, in rags, dirty, and evidently thrown on the ground and uncared for. I am told this has been so for two years. The English flag is oa it's pole and is guarded care fully I am ashamed of cur country. while his flag is in such a condi- tion."
 Two years ago a similar story was brought from the summit by the members of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce excursion. At that time E. B. Burwell of seattle head Cd a committee which bought flag, and 'aised it by its English cousin with great ceremony.

COPPER DEPOSITS OF
 KETCnIKAN DISTRICT

The copper deposits of the Ketchi kan district southeastern Alaska, were known to the Russians. before the acquisition of the territory by the United States, and there was a crude attempt to develop them as early as 1880. It was not until 1901, However, that systematic min in@ was begun and not until 1905 that a large annual output was made. Up to he close of 1913 the copper mines of the Ketchikan dis rrict had produced about 22,640,- 900 bounds of copper, valued at g3,7bo,000 and $5OO,OOV worth of gold and silver.
 Most of the mines of the dis trict lie at or near tidewater. There is an abundance of timber, and the relief favors the undercutting of ths orc bodies. While there are as yet only a few producing mines there are many undeveloped coppe! prospects which give promise of containing commercial ore bodies. Many of the copper de posits show an irregularity of oc- currepcc that is unfavorable to ,heap exploitation, but otherwise tLa conditions are fayOrable to low mining costs.
 A report on the mineral deposits of the Ketchikan district was pub lished by the Geological survey in 1902, and more complete account was issued in 1908. Meanwhile, in view of the important mining de- velOpment, a more detailed study was entered upon by c. w. Wright, of the survey. The results of this work, which covered the most pro ductive part of the field, have just been made public by the United States Geological survey in a re port by Mr. Wright entitled Geo logy and Ore Deposits Of Copper Mountain and Kasaan Peninsula, AL aska" Professional Paper SO. This report is accompanied by detailed geologic and topographic maps and includes descriptions of the copper deposits and their geologic occur renee. It deals primarily with the copper ores, which are at present the most imoortant mineral deposits of the two areas examined. How
