bUNNELL LIKELY BE CANDIDATE
 FUR DELEGATE

Recent arrivals from Fairbanks state that strong pressure is being brought upon Judge c. E. Bunnell to become the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress from Alaska at the November election in 1916. They say that he is the most popular man in the Fourth division and would have no difficulty in carrying it. During the short time that Judge Bunneu has occupied the bench he has won the respect and confidence of the people generally, not only in the Fairbanks valley but also at Iditarod and Ruby, where he has also held court.
 Those who are in position to know declare that Judge Bunnell would have the support of large mapority of the voters of the Fourth division, regardless of political affiliations, and that he could be elected by the big majority he would receive in what has heretofore been Delegate Wicker sham's stronghold.
 While Judge Bunnell has not stated positively that he would be a candi- date, his friends say that he is not adverse to again entering the race for this honor, and they believe that at the proper time his hat will be in the ring. When a candidate last year MT. Bunnell was little known outside of his home town of Valdez, but in the face of this fact he made a good show showing at the polls.
 Throughout the entire campaign he conducted his fight in such way that his enemies were furnished with little ammunition to direct a fire against him. Being a man whose in- tegrity could not be questioned and having always conducted his personal and business affairs in such way that he enjoyed an unimpeachable repu- tation there was no avenue of attack open for interruptions politicians. He made a canvass of the territory and although not successful at the polls Judge Bunnel endeared himself to a large circle of friends and is tc:ay one of the strongest men with the peo- pie, in the territory.

POLITICS | | ' [ I OP|C IN
 TERRITORY

The Democrats of Alaska are figur- ing on holding their territorial con- vention at Seward next spring, when Geie gate to Congress will be nomi- mated and delegates eleci ri to the na- tional convention, as we'll as the ad- visibility of putting a party ticket in the field for members of the local senate and legislature considered. Although nothing definite ,,as been de- cided and no candidates have as yet thrown their hats in the ring the probabilities are that patriots will come forth in ample time and make their aspirations known.
 5 Chairman Heron, of the Republican territorial committee, is now mining to the westward and it would not be surprising if he too decided that Sew ard was the proper place for the hold ing of the convention of the G. O. P. It is reported that Delegate Wicker sham has returned to the fold and seeks recognition, while on the other hand two or three regular Republi- cans have their eye on the party nomi- nation for delegate.

 IS FROZEN TO DEATH

Joseph D. Jourden, pioneer mer- chant of Nome, was frozen to death the other night on the river, having wandered away from the road during storm which suddely blew in from the north. His death adds another to the long list of tragedies which have resulted there since the discovery of gold, as the arrival of winter has never failed at claiming one or more victims.
 Jourden is an old timer in that dis trict having been one of the first of come north after the discovery of gold on the beach there. He engaged , in the mercantile business and later opened a saloon on Steadman avenue, where he was engaged in business at the time of his death.
 Jourden had been on the creeks looking after some mining property in which he is interested and was caught in the storm while returning to town. He had been in the river, as his clothing was frozen when the body was found.

MINE I ] SOON SHIP
 COPPER

Ever since J. l.. Harper, of Seattle, took a bond on the group of claims owned by the Lakina Copper Company of Spokane in the Kennecott district there have been rumors of big things to be done with that property, ana recent developments appear to have justified the rumors. MT. Harper has had a group of men at work for several weeks working out trails and building a wagon road from the mine to the railway at Long Lake station, and when that gentleman appeared in person three weeks ago with an ad- dtional force of miners and laborers the activities were materially in creased. Two weeks ago Col. A. NJ. Dewey of Seattle came in, accom- panied by George B. Baker and other Washington capitalist, and it is now reported that the funds for the moving of large tonnage of ore to the smell ters at Tacoma are assured.
 While prospecting the property on Castle Mountain the miners in the employ of Mr. Harper are said to have opened up large body of high grade shipping ore, and this is now being sacked for hauling as soon as road conditions make such movement pos sible. Those familiar with the Ken nccott district freely predict for the Lakinaw Mines future as bright as that of the Bonanza or Jumbo. MT. Harper is now building a wagon road from the mouth of Mill Creek to the mine on the mountain, from which point the ore will be hauled direct to the raiEoad without transfer. A camp for the accommodation of forty men is now being equipped on the mountain side near the mine and overlooking the valley of the Lakina River and the towering peaks of Castle Mountain, Mount Blackburn, Bell Mountain and glaciers, and the majestic heights of several other ranges. All of which spells 'acti- witty" for this mining district already made famous by the greatest copper producing mines in America.
 Col. Dewey passed through Cordova yesterday on his way to the outside. To a Times reporter he spoke in the highest terms of what he called "the Harper plan of mine management. The Colonel is enthusiastic over the ore showing on Castle Mountain, and predicts a bright future for the Laki na Copper mines. These mines are owned by a syndicate of influential men in Seattle and Duluth, for whom Col. Dewey made this trip of in spection, MT. Harper being the local representative and manager in Alas ka. Among those interested in the property may be mentioned George B. Baker, owner of much business property in Seattle; J. w. and w. J. Kahle, owners of the Crescent Manu- featuring Company of Seattle; William H. Finck, retired Seattle jewler, c. F. DesCamp and others. Camp and others.
 The Lakiua copper mines consist of group of claims on which develop ment work has been under way for several years, but not until J. l.. Harper appeared on the scene during the present season has anything worth mentioning been accomplished. The principle ore showing is of native copper, bornite and copper glance, all valuable ores as found in this district. The Bonanza and Jumbo mines carried these same ores at the surface.
