.CHICHAGOFF
 ISLAND CONTAINS
 COPPER DEPOSITS

SEATTLE. Dec. 2.-Old man Super. stltion. who has resided on Chicagoff Island. Alaska. ever since that place of mountainous land was lirsl CiscoY. cred by Russian iroebooters. has re. ceived another jolt Copper has been discovered on the West coast of the island by E D. Flemming and Arthur Whitehead. both formerly of Nome. Furthermore. they shipped $l0.000 worth of mining equipment and sup plies GO the scene or their discovery yesterday.
 Chlchagofi Island. on which is sit. uated sitko, the former capital of the Territory has always been rich in superstitlon and legend. lt was here that Alaska's only known ghost was ever seen. It was the wrath of O Russian princess whose sweetheart disapneared on the day of her wed. ding. and she died that night The princess used Co make annual trips to Baranoff castle the acene of her life tragedy. She quit when tho castle was destroyed by fire
 Another superstition in regard to Chichagoff Island was that no miner al existed there Nobody knows just how the story started It probably arose from the fact that Governor Ivan BaranoT. who ruled the Thlinkets with an iron hand, and the Russians too, for that matter discouraged prospect ing
 The story goes that a native once brought Q piece of gold-bearing quartz to the governor's office and was pub. ncly flogged as a punishment. He declared there was no metal-bearing rocks on the Island and the supersti- ton grew
 Americans accept Theory
 American prospectors after the lcountry was ceded Go the United States in 1867. for some unknown reason, accepted this general opinion. They never searched the island, or, # they did they were unsuccessful until 1904 when gold was discovered by some natives at what is now known as the Chichagoff mines financed by the late Henry Bratnober
 It was still a generally accepted theory that there was no copper or other metal on the island After the discovery of the Chichagoff veins a search was made for gold-bearing rocks. but nobody thought of looking for copper Everybody agreed there was none. It was not @ copper coun- try. All the copper was over in the Prince William Sound region. Why waste time looking for it on the Isl. l and?
 But Flemming and Whitehead have kicked a hole in this theory. They found some tremendous chunks of copper ore on the beach, fourteen miles from the Chichagoff mine Some of the pieces of ore had barnacles on them. They searched around and dis covered the ledge of copper ore from which they were shed. It runs out under the sea. much the same as the Ellamar mine. The ore can be load ed from the vein into a barge. and deep water ships can be anchored o. ! 900 feet distant
 The outfit shipped yesterday in- cludes an air compressor boiler and 1 full mining equipment. A big crew of men will be kept at work on the prop i erty and it Is expected that shaft will be sunk to a depth of TOO feet this winter-(J. J. Underwood in Se- attle Times.)

Alaskans will appreciate the follow ing, taken from the St. Louis Re public; A dispatch from Juneau, Alaska, shows that the thermometer is up and around 90 in that region, bumper crops are expected, forest fires are raging and the glaciers are melting at terrific rate. It is inter esting to compare the general situa- tion around St. Louis with that at Juneau. We are doing about as well for crops, and have been a little hap pier in our temperatures. We have no forest fires, but to balance that we have no glaciers, and when in these balmy July days we survey the micro-glacierette which the icemaa leaves to trickle out a feeting exist ence on the back steps the thought that Juneau has something on us can not be suppressed. Boston, Chicago Baltimore and other pretentiOus vil- lages we scOrn, but any town which can see ice melt so fast that it runs away in rivers and still smile over an abundant supply of ice remaining is not to be sneezed at.

In recent publication of the Smith sOnian Institution, H. M.

Skagway is not and can never be, of much use to the United States, except as an obstruction to Canadian progress, but might be of some advantage to the vast Canadian hinterland less than 20 miles inland"

For years Delegate Wickersham has been collecting Alaska newspap- CTS, especially those which were print ed in the early days of the country. He has been making a careful study of these newspapers and from them has learned much of the early history of the country. In his office, at Wash ington. he has a collection of books and papers which cover almost every thing ever written relative to the ter ritOry, and whenever he is able to find anything new that he has never heard of he is happy. And he was happy when he secured two rare old papers and a promise of complete file of the Juneau Searchlight which was published long before the KlOn- dike days.-(Fairbanks Daily Times.
