Senator SuIzer
Southeastern AIaska's LEADING
Copper Miner.

Charles A. Sulzer, largest copper
mine managing owner of Southeast.
ern Alaska, Territorial Senator, and
leading citizen Of the First Division,
came to Alaska in 1903, to take
charge of the copper nine at Sulzer.
40 miles west of Ketc likan where he
has since resided. He Is brother of
former Congressman William Sulzer.
Of New York, who was regarded as
Alaska's best friend in the National
Congress, and since his arrival in
this Territory he has taken strong
part in its public affairs.
AS superintendent and manager of
the mining properties at Sulzer he has
made good. His mine has produced
copper to the value of $1,25O,OOO, and
its capacity for production is being
largely increased.
Last year Mr.. Sulzer was elected
to represent the First Division of AL
aska in the Territorial Senate, being
the only successful nominee of the
Democratic Divisional Legislative tick
ct. In the first session of his term,
he demonstrated that he is one of
the strong and forceful characters of
Alaska. He took great interest in all
phases of legislation that came to the
front during his first session, which
continued from March LIST to April
80 Of the present year. He devoted
long hours to the work, and was con-
coded to be not only one of the strong
est and readiest debaters in either
house, but one of the clearest think
ers, and most useful members. While
thoroughly progressive he is intense
ly practical, and always unselfishly
patriotic.
Senator Sulzer is a thorough AL
askan. His affection for the Terri
tory and his confidence that it will
have a wonderful future are unbound
ed. 1t does not require prophet nor
the son Of prophet to predict that
brilliant future will be Mr.. Suffers
lot in our great Northern Empire.
Senator Sulzer is a member of the
Elk's Lodge and is one of the trus.
tees of the Grand Camp of the Arctic
Brotherhood of Alaska. Mrs Sulzer
was formerly Miss Gertrude Harrison
Moore of Ketchikan. They have one
son, boy of eight, whose cleverness
has won for him a reputation for him
in Alaska.

the same general geological conditions
as exist on the Jumbo and Copper
mount properties. Fairly extensive
has been performed but
the property has not been equipped
with the necessary machinery for
production.
Eleven miles south of Sulzer is the
Red Wing mine, situated at the water
edge on the eastern shore of Hetta
Inlet. This property has been devel-
oped by several shafts and is equipped
with hoist, compressor, pumps, drills,
etc. The ore is a high grade copper
ore carrying good values in gold and
about $4,000 has been realized from
shipments. The formation is a fis-
sure in shist.
Twenty miles south of Sulzer, at
the head of Keete Inlet, are the
claims of the Keete Copper Company.
The contact is between shist and
greensboro and the ore consists of a
massive pyrite giving assays of 80

Dz. silver. The property lies at the
waters edge and $50 feet from the
beach a shaft has been sunk to
depth of so feet without change in

and limestone. The property is de
Seloped by ten or more tunnels into
the mountainside connected by vari,
Gus drifts, cross-cuts, raises, etc. the
ores being successfully dropped to
the main tunnel from whence it is
carried over ten thousand foot Les
chen aerial tramway to bunkers OF
1000 tons capacity on the shore OF
HGtta Inlet, short distance below
the town of Sulzer. The ores con-
siSt principally of chalcopyrite and
magnetic, with a garnetite and lime
stone gauge. Power is developed by
a hydro-electric plant at the beach,
water being taken from Jumbo Creek
under a head of $50 feet A pelton
water wheel is used and three phase
alternating electric system, power
line transmitting the current used, a
voltage OF 1900. direct to the motors
underground in the mine. A duplex
sullivan compressor and 20 rock
drills of various sizes and types are
in operation besides minor essential
mine machinery. The ore is run
over grizzlies at the mine bunkers at
the upper tramway terminal and the
coarse waste sorted out, the remain
ing product being shipped by steamer
to the Tacoma smelter. The Jumbo
mine has been a steady producer since
1907 having shipped 90,144 dry tons
of ore containing. 9,171,-9S pounds of
copper, $500 ounces of gold. and g.
5S1 ounces of silver.
One mile south OF Sulzcr on the
west shore CT Hetta Inlet and situat-
ed on Deer Mountain, at an elevation
of 1000 feet are located the Deer
Park claims. The ore lies between
limestone and phorpEory and is a
rich chalcO2yrite, assays from this
property giving practically pure chal-
capyrite. Only minor development
has been thus far performed.
The Bruce group lies at the foot of
Copper Mountain on its western
slope. and one mile south of the
Jumbo dock. 1t consists of six claims
and fraction and the property is
owned by Elmer Olsby and Jacobson
Bros. The ore is heavy pyrite and
lies in a shist assure. Shipments
from the property have amounted to
over 700 tons net, giving an average

Sulzer there has recently been devel.
oped large deposit of barytes,
This deposit is very extensive and
exceptionally pure, containing no
other minerals. 1t is located ON the
beach and can be easily developed
The initial shipment of this material
was made few weeks ago to San
Francisco and consisted of IT'S tons.
Another shipment of several hundred
tons will shortly be made and un.
doubtedly new industry has been
started for Alaska. Heretofore the
barytes used on the Pacific Coast has
come from the East and from Ger.
many, but this new deposit at Lime
Point promises to meet all future re.
quirements.
The Fishing Industry
The West Coast has long been not
ed for its great fisheries resources
1t was here that the first salmon
cannery in Alaska was started in
1878, at Klawack, by the North Pa
cific Trading and Packing Company
and this cannery has been in sue
cessful operation ever since thai
time and is today one of the most
up-to-date canneries, having a colo
storage plant and guano factory il
connection. The North Pacific Trad
ing and Packing Company also op
crate a hatchery at Klawock Lake
having a capacity of ten million sal
mon fry.
At Craig, the Lindenberger Pack
ing Company own and operate the
second largest salmon cannery II
Alaska, and the third largest on the
Pacific Coast. This modern cannery
was constructed in 1912 and includes
all the latest and most up-to-date ma
chinery and equipment for packing
salmon. The plant consists Of foul

Harbor 5 miles south Of Craig. Tht
ore is chalcopyrite in shist forma
ton. The mine is developed by two
shafts of depth of 100 feet and 50(
feet of drifts and cross-cuts. Severa
shipments have been made to the Ia
coma smelter giving satisfactory re
turns.
On the west side of Dali Island al
Seaotter Harbor is located the Mon
tana property, consisting of ten
claims, and adjoining these on the
South are the California group of
three claims. Large porphory dykes
cut through a limestone, the granite
lying a short distance to the east.
These dykes are mineralized with py-
rite and chalcopyrite and along their
contacts are enrichments of chalco-
pyrite with some carbonate and ma
tive copper. These properties show
evidences of big low grade POSSIBLE
tiles. Considerable development has
been done, but no equipment has been
installed.
On the east coast of Dali Island are
located the Cukoo Group and the
Badly Mountain Group of low grade
ores at Cukoo Harbor, and further
south is the Mt. Vesta property con-
sisting of numerous small veins of te-
trahedrite, chalcopyrite and chalco-
cite in a belt of crystalized limestone.
Among various other prospects in
this area may be mentioned the
Green Monster, Copper Bluff, Beav-
err Mountain. Flensburg, McGuinness,
Alaskan, Lille and Rose, and Cuprite
groups, and various claims at Bron-
son Bay and Nichols Bay. and at
Hunters Bay and Tar Bay. Many of
the copper properties of the West
Coast contain enormous outcrops of
magnetic carrying low values in
copper and gold and when proper
methods of treatment shall be ap-
piled they will undoubtedly prove
profitable.
The southern end of Dali Island con-
tains many gold quartz locations. At
Mcleod Bay the Elk and West Vir-
ginia groups have been extensively
developed and consist of large bodies
some large low grade deposits are
provements consist of several tunnels
and many open cuts. At Nuqua La
COON the Marion and Ella property
has been developed by Wright and
Reynolds. A tunnel over 800 feet in
length has been driven on the vein
and some high values in gold are re-
ported. Some rich pockets of gold
have been found in Sullivan Island and
seem large low grade deposits are
known to exist on Long Island and at
other points on the West Coast.

oil company have established an oil
station at Waterfall to supply the
nuemrous gas vessels that play the
West Coast.
RAISING by Craig and Klawock, al.
ready described, the next cannery is
the swift-Arthur-Crosby plant at
wa m Chuck on Hecta Island, with a
capacity of 10000 cases. Previous to
June first this year, this cannery was
reported to have packed 5000 cases

GfTlan canneries having a capacity
OF 5000 cases per annum.
The West Coast contains the great.
est halibut banks of Southeastern
Alaska, and it is here that the bulk
of the halibut are caught. A herring
industry of considerable importance
mas grown up at Craig, and it is here
that many of the halibut vessels op-

and other fish abound in the waters
OF the West Coast, but they have not
as yet been exploited commercially.
The West Coast may be termed the
sportsman's paradise, for to cruise
among its innumerable islands and
ever changing waterways is a delight.

There are many old Indian settle

quaint totem poles and other relics
of by-gone day, for these old vii
lagos have been practically all de
serted, and the Natives have concen
trated into two large towns, one al
Hydaberg in Sullivan Narrows ant
the other at Klawack. These native
towns are quite highly developed
having excellent schools, town halls

modern homes. They are presided
over by common councils and are
to all intents and purposes quite the
same as other Alaska towns.

An English View of Mr.. Bryan.

| do not wonder at his immense
popularity. Put Gladstone's or
O'Connell's tongue into the head
of the average Sunday school
teacher and you not only get Mr..
Bryan, but you get a mixture that
always and everywhere appeals to
the taste ofthe masses. Mr.. Bryan
has stirred up many questions,
but he has never yet found the
right answer to any of them. He
has proved himself an effective
voice of protest against social and
economic inequalities and injus
tices. But he has proved himself
nothing more. If his intellectual
equipment were as great as his sin
certify and his sensitiveness he
would be a statesman. AS it is he
has been hampered by a fiat ina
bility to rise above the most ele.
mentary level of reflection, insight
and comprehension. He would
have cut a most imposing figure in
the French revolution, when rhet-
oric, shallow metaphysics and a
readiness to make a new heaven
and a new earth every other week
were supposed to qualify a man
for the business of government.
But in such a land as the United
States and at such a time as the
present, supreme power is forever
barred to him. At the bottom of
their minds the American people
distrust his capacities. Sydney
