WHTTEHORSE 10
SHIP COPPEt


 WHTEHoRsE, May 2s.-Present indications arc that copper ore will be going forward from this place to the Tacoma smelter within few days from at least two different properties the Anaconda and Grafter.
 At tho Ansconda mine, which is owned by W. A. Puckett. E. A. Dixon. and Whitney G Pedlar. there are said to be several hundred tons of fairly right grade ore already on the dump and Manager Wheeler Of the ". ?. & '. R., has offered @ most reasonable rote from the mine to the shelter which would mean Q haul Of about four miles by wagon from the mine to the station hede Ole Dick son with two men has already gone to the Anaconda to square away" for business and it is probable that ore VIII be teamed or "caterpillared" to this place before the end of next week Ore may also be shipped fEom the Rabbits Foot claim of which Ole Dickson is part owner with those mentioned as owning the Anaconda.
 The owners of the Crater mine. 0Iessrs. Lowe. Armstrong. D. A. Dix on and Whitney G Pedlar. arc also considering starting work at once as they have several hundred tons of orc in sight and which can be taken out at6ut little expense. In the event oi ore being shipped from the Crater 1t Is probable that the railroad spur will handle it as the mine is only about Q quarter Of Q mile from the track.
 No arrangements have as yet been made for ethe resumption Of work on tho Pueblo property but negotiations arc now pending and may bo cousum- mated at any time, In fact in the event of copper going any higher, or even remaining at the present price, every copper property in thls locality is liable Co be working very soon and every copper stain win be traced in the hope that it win lead to Q ledge -(Whitehorse Star.)

ALASKA'S TRADE MAY
 REACH SlO0,000,000

seattles business with Alaska con- tinues to increase at remarkable rate of growth in spite Of tho repeat ed efforts of other ports to deprive It Of the great asset, says the Post-In- teiligoncer. This year is tho banner year of all the years. Even before tho effect of the opening of the terri tory is fully realized by the construc- ton Of Che government railway there is Q noticeable increase Of business. Prospectors are opening new mineral fields. and war has-stimulated copper to the extent that the shipments from Southwestern Alaska are likely to reach S1O0O,OOO Q month. There is a quickening of demand for every kind of merchandise, and the passen- ger traffic to the territory has ex- coeded all former seasons at this date.
 The federal department of com merce announces that the movement Of treasure and merchandise between the sites and Alaska principally through Seattle, for 1914, amounted Go 66.5OO.00O, which was an increase Of St.000,0oo over tho preceding year. This year, according to such figures aa arc attainable. the commerce will be nearly doubled, ami it's value is likely to reach S10O,OOo,C0O. Last year

Yaldez. Alaaka

am in receipt of your letter of December 1ff'V stating tho rea- sons why tho sovernmont should own and control railroads in AL a8ln. Howover, ! cannot agree that under our system of govern ment it is the proper thing for the United States to 60 Into the rail- road business. You seem to mag Inc that e patornai government with les political headquarters at Washington. D. C., could enter in- to competition with the railway and coal business, glve labor all it asks for. Including short hours, comfortable homes, public utili- ties and protection from danger and conduct tho huHiness with profit to the treasury It sounds nice, but I am afraid ll would not be O success from practical standpoint. If the goyernmeut could run coal and railroad busi- ness in 30 ideal way it would not be asking too much probably for it to undertake placer and quartz mining public sisheries, and probably extend its opera tons into all other efforts to de- velop our territory.
 ] cannot agree that Q govern ment official in a bis soft chair, in an elegant business office in Washington, D. C., is 50 compe- tent in the management of busi- ness affairs in Alaska as the American citizens who are on the ground. I know that this is the Socialistic idea and l am greatly interested in ita claim, but ] am not prepared to say that it can be made Q success.
 do agree with you however, that in view Of tho action of Con- gross and tho president in reserv- Ing the coal and other resources in Alaska they ought to aid 10 Che building of Q railroad, or build 1t for tho development Of tho country which is thus burdened with reservations.
 shall support the efforts being made to have tho government build Q railroad to the coal mines in Alaska, and shall support the proposition to have tho govern ment open-and develop coal mines in connection with the govern ment owned railroad, although in my Judgment it is tho wrong sys- tenn and win not tend to develop our Territory DC fully as if tho coal lands were sold tc our pros pectors and miners with mll and ample reservation contained in the patents to prevent monopoly of the lands, high rates of trans poration and -exce8sivo pricoB in tho sale Of coal tc tho ultimate consumer.
