Ilattention bestowed by kind and low
ling hands, her whole family being
4 with her during her last Illness. A
i husband, two daughters, and their
/ families survive her. Mrs. Young
was woman of unusual intelligence
| and activity, fluent public speaker
and a fine singer and choir leader.
She was very fond of life in Alaska,
and much interested in all that con-
cerned its welfare
| DR.. and Mrs. Young in the early
days resided for about ten years at
! Wrangell, where three daughters
were born to them. Later DR.. Young
was superintendent of Presbyterian
missions in Alaska and the couple
resided at different times at Skag-
way, Fairbanks, Nome, Cordova and
| Iditarod. Mrs. F. E. Klienschmidt,
wife of Capt. Klienschmidt, the
Arctic trader and moving picture
man, is a surviving daughter of Mrs.
| Young.
/ J. B. Howard, an old-time resident
of Cordova, is now in Seattle and TO
reporter he gave his ideas as TO
| the future development of the Cop
per river country, as follows:
"Cordovans believe that the Ber-
| ing River coal fields will be opened
before the Matanuska properties.
and that Cordova will largely profit
as result. This is due to the near
ness to the Boring fields and to the
fact it is the natural and logical mar
ket place for the Bering product.
! The Boring fields, inside of so days
| from the start of railroad construc-
ton, could produce coal in Cordova,
via the Copper River & Northwest
ern Railway.
1.-The Bering fields are about 80
miles east from Mile 80 on the Cop
per River line, and part of this
distance, which lies through good
country, already has been graded by
| the Guggenheims. No matter what
the route selected for the govern
ment road and irrespective of
whether the terminus is at Portage
Bay or Seward, Cordova will be the
port for Boring River coal.
The team of ten dogs with which
Mine Inspector Maloney and James
/ Protopapas came out from Nome,
made the trip of 3oT miles between
| Fairbanks and Chftina in the fast
| time of 5 4 days and beat the stage
AS hours. The best days run was
lT6 miles in nine hours, the third day
tout from Fairbanks, with one pas
Isenger and 300 pounds of express.
+ With this team are four of the
dogs which were purchased by Jafet
/ Lindeberg of Nome for the Amund-
son Arctic expedition which was
abandoned last year.
Mr.. ProtopapaS will be passenger
for Seattle on the Mariposa, and
expects to return in time to partici-
pate with this team in the great
| sporting event of the north, the ALL
Alaska Sweepstakes race from Nome
to Candle and return. The dogs were
left at Chitina. In race these dogs
participated in short time before
Messrs. Maloncy and Protopapas left
Nome, in which II teams partici-
pated, they broke trail, covered 21a
miles in II minutes and 40 seconds
in a heavy storm and finished third,
/ the three teams with the best time
| having the advantage of the broken
trail.
