JosLlN SAYS THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD

SEATTLE. Nov. 12.-Falcon Joslin thinks the government made a serious mistake is not buying the Copper Riv- CT & Northwestern railroad when the Guggenheims offered to sell it. The road he says. is now earning 6 per cent on S2OOOO.OOO, and the govern ment could have bought it for half that sum. He believes that. even with the coal from the Boring River fields. it will be necessary to double track the lines within ten years.
 Heavy Orc Arrivals
 More than $1.5OO,0OO worth of ore lis coming into Cordova every month" said Joslin. land it has been neces- sary Go put on an extra train sched- ule. The company is now running two trains a day Heretofore there have been only three trains a week. There isn't another mining district In the world as rich as the Copper River valley. The Bonanza and Jun. bo mines are working to capacity Ore that would be considered fabulously rich In Michigan or Arizona-that is. running 10 per cent copper-is left lying on the dumps.
 "The Alaska Consolidated Copper Company has opened up a big ledge on the Kuskalina. the Mother Lode Company has lot Of ore blocked out ready for shipment the Lackinaw Company on Castle Mountain. is con- structing roads to get It's ore out, and several othev copper properties and one or two gold quartz deposits are in process of development.
 "When these and other mines be- run many more thains than at pres gin shipping the railroad will have to ent. have mentioned only @ few of the high-grade propositions, but there are in addition many so-called low-grade properties that are not op- ened. because the ore has to be shipped to Seattle to be smelted.

@ superstition should be swallowed hook and bait by the persons raising the conservation war cry in behalf of the whale. It is merely @ whale or a nsh story handed 6twu from time immemorlai by the fishing folk
 "The salmon devours herring, but the whale and the herring both eat tho same food. a small form of sea life very similar to the shrimp. The quest of this food brings both whale end herring inshore The7 often dine together.
 "Our steam whaiers, the Unimak and Kodiak. bagged BOT whales the past season. In no case did we get a iinback with fish in bis stomach. In several cases we bagged hump backs with a very few small fish in their stomachs. but they had swal- lowed them accidentally while seek ing their shrimp form of food.
 "As @ protection for the whale. it is the one animal that needs no pro- tection. The buffalo was exterminat- ed because anyone and everyone could buy a rifle and get out and shoot until he was tired Hunting the whale is @ different proposition. IT a person could buy @ rifle and go out and begin potting whales right and left. then the whale would probably disappear But you can't do it.
 Huge Investments
 ITO go whaling nowadays you have to invest from S5OOOO0 up in an out. nt The operating costs are S1O0.- 900 a year No one would engage in such a venture for any motive other than the making of profit No one would dream of risking so much mon ey for the purpose of sport The world isn't all crazy-yet.

Nov 12.-Unieaa Con- rress can loo induced to pass on ur. gency dodency bnl, construction work on the Alaska railroad win have to cease in December, says the Seat tie Times Otherwise it can be con- tinued throughout the year So says Falcon Joslin. president of the Panama Mines railroad, who win 60 to Wash ington to urge upon che administra- ton the manifold advantages derived from O big appropriation. and the be- ginning of work from both ends of Che line
 Joslin says that at the present rate of progress it will take moro than @ decade to get tho road through to the Panama valley He Is not crltlclsing the members of the Alaskan Engin- ing commission. On the contrary he thinks them efficient and capable but believes that if the government really intends to build tho road, is can save lot of money and perform an inestimable service to the country by doing it quickly. This can be ac- complshed only by giving the commis- sion sufficient money to work with.
 Joslln thinks also, that some ar- rangements should be made by the government to attract settlers to the territory along the line of railroad. Otherwise. when the road Is finished, it will be running through a wilder ness. Development and construction, he thinks. should be carried on simul- taneously.
 New Method Proposed
 "The population Of the Panama vol ley would double In one year" said Ioslin. "if the government would be- gin construction from that end of the line It is true that it would cost Q little more to transport the material . to Fairbanks. but that disadvantage would be offset by having the road ? in operation Q couple of years sooner. Besides it would cost considerable money to haul the construction ma tcrial on the road by building from only one end.
 The money expended for wages in } the Interior would loo used by the worlmen In prospecting or opening ; up farms. Fairbanks would be given coal from the Interior fields several years earyier, and many ore bodies , that cannot now loo operated because of the cost Of fuel would be placed on . productive basis"
