at Holikachuk. He was returning to Iditarod and said he could not imagine what actuated Hank Krim to advise him to go to a place like Marshall City. Krim had worked for the Mutchlers, and after going to Marshall earlier in the spring it appears that he wrote back saying the camp looked good to him. When the Mutchlers got there they were impressed in manner diametrically opposite.
 Louis Seyler accompanied the Mutchlers to Marshall. He and John Mutchler did not return with George to Iditarod, but left Marshall in a launch, intending to prospect higher up the Yukon. where several creeks ar known to contain fine colors of gold-Ruby Record-Citizen.

WASHINGTON.-The copper de- posits of the Ketchikan district Southea"tern Alaska, were known to the Russians before the acquisi- tion 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 mining was begun and not until 1905 that a large annual output was made. Up to the close of 1913 the copper mines of the

Broad Pass Options.

The Guggenheims, represented in the Broad Pass country by w. E. Dunkle, a mining engineer, are talk ing options to purchase on various properties adjoining those already under bond by them, according to J. Patton, a prospector who reached Knik from the upper country short time ago. Patton, who was outfitted by officials prominent in the AlaskaGastineau Mining Com pany, also reports that he made two important discoveries in the Broad Pass region. One of these is a big lode property on the upper reaches of Ohio creek. The ore, an arsenide. is similar to that found in the Wells Coffey lode, which is the original discovery in that camp. The Patton claims are 12 miles from the Wells camp. The other discovery is a placer deposit, which Patton thinks can be profitably mined by the hy- draulic method. It is local deposit only, he says-Cordova Times.

Gibbon Has Chance.


 NEW YORK-If ever there was the slightest doubt parading the pugilistic high road regarding the status of Mike" Gibbons. of St Paul, since he came into the open, and declared himself a middleweight 1t has had the skids put under II and has slid out of existence There is no good reason why the crown. vacant since the untimely death of Stanley Ketchel, should not be slip ped upon the pompadoured brow Of Gibbons
 Gibbons has proved beyond ques- tion that he is the class of middle weights. A glance through the list of contendels disclosed none that has a chance with the Minnesota Zephyr over the short route at any rate. It is true that Gibbons has never ventured into the unknown and risky twenty round business. He has contented himself with rakins in the golden shekels while giving ten-round boxing lessons, but is there any who will declare-and believe what he says-that Gibbons cannot ramble through 20 rounds and not hold his own?
 Certainly circumstantial evidence is all in favor of Gibbons being able to turn the trick without losing any of the prowess that has made him one of the most popular boxers in the game today.
 Glance through the layout of mid dleweights who are conceded to have a chance: Young" Ahearn, Mick King of Australia, Leo Houck, Ed die" McGoorty, Jimmy Clabby George Chip, Dave" Smith of Aus tralia, Jack Dillon, Frank Klaus and Jeff" Smith. Compare these men individually with Gibbons, and what is the answer? Of the outfit there are but two who are within several kilometers of being as clever as Gib- bons-Ahearn and Clabby Of these twoAhearn would probably have the better chance of outpointins Gibbons if such chance existed

Rock High Grade.

Valdez Prospector: Jack Hughes, who has taken a lease of the upper claims of the Cliff group of claims on Shoup bay, reached town last night, bringing some of the finest samples of high grade rock ever shown in Valdez. The rock was taken from the upper claims and a lead IS inches wide has been un- covered according to Hughes, who will start work at once to send the ore down the hill to the mill on the beach and crush the ore and extract the gold.
 Just how much of lead has been uncovered and how far it extends cannot at this time be told, but IS inches of high grade ore has been found and work will be pushed at once to ascertain the extent of the lead and also to bring the ore to the beach for milling
