SALE Of LOTS IS
n D v D n A I
ANCHORAGE

From information received from
southbound passengers who were in
Cordova on the Mariposa today, it was
learned that the sale of lots at the
Anchorage townsite, which was SEIZED
uled for the ninth was postponed until
2 D. m. on the 10th. The purpose of
this was to allow the people on the
Mariposa to reach Anchorage in time
for the sale. The land Office officials
had telegraphed to the states that
buyers coming on the Mariposa would
reach there in time for the sale, and
many spectators were on the boat
The action of the officials in postpon-
ing the sale was the cause of much
criticism at the westward city, as it
was suggested that it was unduly fav-
oring the land spectators.
From the Cook Inlet paper, which
came in the mail today, the statement
is made that the postponement was
made to give Chairman Edes of the
Railroad Commission an opportunity
to arrive from Seward. The article
stated that good crowd had collected
to attend the sale, and that the indica-
lions were that the lots would be in
demand. Passengers on the boat to-
day state that the lots were bought by
spectators and that the prices paid
were too high for them to purchase.
From letter received today, written
by Cordovan who attended the sale,
it is learned that the smallest price
paid for a lot was $4,000 and the high
est $1,15o.00 The sale has not yet
been terminated.
1t is said to be the Intention of the
government to clear a number of the
streets in the new town Fourth and
Fifth streets will be grubbed and
cleaned up from B to H; B, c and H
streets from Fourth to Fifth. A and
East B will be cleared from Third to
Seventh; Seventh Street will be
cleared from X to M, and Fifth through
its entire length.
L. o. Nyberg of Seattle bought the
first lot paying 1925 for the privilege.
Lot No. 2 went for $500 and Lot No.
3, for $575. About 40 lots had been
sold when the Mariposa left.

regular deposits, in places running as
high as 70 per cent. copper and aver
aging in excess of Is per cent. copper.
In mines of this character and rich
ness, it is not possible to estimate ore
reserves with exactness, but the for
nation in which this deposit occurs
is such that the company sees no rea-
son why values will not continue to
very much greater depth. At pres.
ent the mine is opened to a depth of

GOVERNMENT DOCTORS AND
TERRITORIAL LAW

It has been rumored, but the mem
bers of the Medical Board are silent
on the subject, that the doctors en-
ployed by the government on the
railroad work have declined to answer
the call to come before the board for
examination as provided by an act of

solved as to whether the government

ORE RESERVES

In mines of this character it is not
usual to have more than two or three
years of ore blocked out, but the Ken.
necott people are actually blocked out
six years ahead. Engineers claim that
the ore deposit is comparable with
that of the Copper Queen at Bisbee,
Ariz.
In addition to the above, the com.
pany owns over IS per cent of the
stock of the Beatson Copper Company,
upon which concentration has been
lately completed, and it is estimated
that this property will yield about 49,.
100000 pounds of copper per annum.
1t is located on La Touche island. The
ore and concentrates are loaded di.
rectly upon steamers and shipped to
Tacoma, where they are smelted, re.
fined and made into metallic copper.

ALASKA HAS LOW
PRICED COPPER
PRODUCER

Copper investors will doubtless be
astonished to learn that the worlds
lowest cost copper producer is located
in Alaska. They WITH be surprised
also to know that it is now shipping
at the rate of 6O.OOO,O0O pounds of
copper per annum, made at a cost
not far from cents per pound.
The general public would probably
recognize the proposition as the fam
Gus Bonanza mine, in which, with the
railroad connection thereto, ]. P. Nor
gan & Co. and the Messrs. Guggen-
helm have invested many millions, but
today the Kennecott Copper Corpora
ton embraces not only the Bonanza,
but the Jumbo mine, property
equally rich and equally important as
a copper producer, together with an
IS per cent. interest in the Beatson
Copper Company, a 10000, OOO-pound
producer.
The recent purchase by j. P. Nor
gan & Co. of $40, 100000 per cent. 10
year bonds of the Kennecott Company
make timely a presentation of what
the company owns, what it has
achieved to date, and what are its
prospects for the future.
Discovered by Stephen Birch
The property is to all intents and
purposes the discovery of Stephen
Birch. At all events, 1t was Mr.. Birch
who acquired it in 1901 from the orig
inal discoveries and started in to de-
velop it under most adverse condi-
lions. In 1906 the Alaska Syndicate,
composed Of j. P. Morgan & Co. and
M. Guggenheim Sons, took over the
property. 1t is generally understood,
that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. participated
in the Guggenheim interest. At that
time it was still prospect, but an
unusually attractive one.
Alaska Railroad Building
The confidence of the syndicate in
it's ultimate value is best seen in their
willingness to invest s22,000,000 in the
construction of 1876 miles of railroad
in order to reach the Bonanza mine
The railroad runs from Cordova to
Kennecott, and its construction was
accomplished only after surmounting
great difficulties. Two steel bridges
alone cost the syndicate no less than
| 100000. While the railroad was
being constructed the property was
being developed, but the necessary ma
chinery had to be hauled in over the
mountains, a distance of over 200
miles, at enormous expense, in order
to have the mine opened up on a pro-
ducing basis by the time the railroad
was completed.
The Bonanza mine started as pro-
Queer in April, 1911. It has been a
steady producer ever since, and has
paid out in dividends 1880, 900. While
the Bonanza was producing. develop
ment work was being carried on in
other properties, notably the Jumbo,
which is located within a mile OF the
Bonanza, and carries the same char
acter of ore. It was not until this year
that the Jumbo began shipping ore.

The average cost of producing this
copper was under Ak cents per
pound-to be exact, 4.72 cents. The
average selling price was between IA
cents and Is cents. The falling off in
production in 1913 was due to the
shutting down Of mining operations
on account of the destruction OF the
tramway by fire, while the relatively
small production in 1914 was due to
the curtailment by the European war.
