ST rs. VICTORIA
AND KANSAS
THIS RUN

The Alaska Steamship company's
Nome liner Victoria will be placed on
the Alaskan coast run as soon as she
arrives at Seattle on her last trip
from Nome. The Victoria should be
in Seattle again early in November.
The information that comes from the
south is that she will sail for Cordova
and other coast towns about Novem-
Der 10th to 18th.
How long the Victoria will be kept
on the Alaska coast run is not stated,
but it is safe to say according to the
information received that she will con-
tinue all winter if the ore tonnage
continues to be offered. Something,
of course, will Deepen dupon the length
of time that may be required to over
haul the recently purchased Kansas
City, and the time of the arrival of
the freight carriers Bennington and
Burlington.
The Victoria is the largest vessel
engaged in the Alaska trade at the
present time, and one of the fastest
While an old vessel. she is well built,
seaworthy and one of the fastest
American ships in the Alaska service.
Steamship men say that the Kansas
City will make q splendid addition to
the Alaska feet. She is fast, has ex.
cellent passenger accommodation and
is splendidly arranged to accommo
date passengers. OF recent years she
has been operated with the Rose City
on the route between San Francisco
and Portland.
1t is UNDERSTOOD that the Kansas City
will be changed to an oil burner before
she will become an Alaska liner.

While the earnings of the Kenne.
colt Copper Co. for the four months
ended Sept. 80 amounted to $500, 900,
the actual profits for this period will
probably be increased to 100000
due to the fact that the earnings OF
s3,500,0O0 include the unsold copper
which was inventoried at Is cents
This copper will be sold to a higher
figure, since the copper market is now
Is cents, or better.
Kennecott's mine production for the
four months ended on Sept. 80 was
100000 pounds or at the rate OF
more than 90,000,0O0 pounds a year.
The production in September was
approximately 100000 pounds.
The Alaska Steamship Company has
bought two steamers. which will be
used to carry the Kennecott ore tc
the smelter on the Puget Sound.
Kennecott's ore is being shipped tc
the Tacoma plant of the American
Smelling & Refining Co., and to Gar.
field, Utah, for treatment, the Taco
ma plant being unable to handle the
entire output of the mine. The ore
that is smelted at Garfield is sent tt
