BEGIN SHIPPING
 ORE NEXT SEASON
Will Construct Dock at the Mouth of Mill Creek from Which Point Road Will Be Built to Bon Alaska Mines.

J. G. Calvin of the Bon Alas ka mining company, arrived from New York Thursday. MT. Calvin will leave in two or three days with a force of fifteen men for the groundhog basin where his property is located.
 From the mouth of Mill Creek, eight miles from Wrangell, a wagon road will be built to Groundhog basin distance of about ten milesr Work will begin at once on the construction of a dock and warehouse at the mouth of Mill creek The necessary houses will also be built for the men who will be at work there this winter. Several horses which arrived on the Hum boidt Thursday night will be talk en in with the party and used to pack supplies over the trail.
 As soon as the snow clears away in the spring the work of laying steel for the railroad from the mouth of Mill creek to the mine will be begun. It may be that a portion of the wagon road will be used as a right of way for the railroad. Once the laying of steel is begun the railroad will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible in order that ship ment of ore may begin.
 The work done this winter will be chiefly in the nature of pre- iminary work. It is MT. Galvin's intention to get everything in readiness to rush work in the spring in order that the shipment of ore may begin as early as pos sible.
 This is the best news the peo- ple of Wrangell have had for a long time. It is the beginning of big things in the much talked of Groundhog Basin which is at last coming into it's own.

WRANGELL IDEAL LOCATION
 FOR A LARGE PAPER MILL
Tongass National Eopest Could Supply Enmgh Pnp to Keep Several Big Mills in Operation for Many Years to Come. Present Exorbtant Prices of Paper Would Make an Alaskan Paper Mill as Good as License to Rob Banks

al Arrests. The reconnaissance to date is admittedly incomplele--we do not know exactly how rich We are in timber-but on the basis of what has been done, 1t IS estmat- ed that the Alaskan forests would yield 700, GOO, 900 feet ot timber Annually on the basis of increase alone Is, without decreas,nG the forest appreclably at trSt, and not at all alter the trst Wear. In other terms II IS estimated that at- ter Supplying the local demands for saw timber, paper mills with a capacity of three thousand tons per day-and three thousand tons IS SIX million pounds he fed from the natural yearly increase without depicting the real supply. And that is good deal of paper when You stop to consider Il.
 The natural query is, since Al aska offers sucn attractive field for a paper mill, why aren t there any here9 Capital usually doesn't wait to be asked three times before selzlng a chance to earn good int crest on investment.
 Southeas stern Alaska is not pro- ducing paper for several reasons. In the first place Alaska is consid- cred pretty remote. Transportation IS Just beginning to be put on reliable. efficient basis; It IS only very recently that the extent and value of Alaskan forests has been reallzeo. Under normal conditions before the war, the result of for eign competition, high freights and the prevailing price of paper was such that Alaska as paper prnducer was nr th,. wrpvs ei!e of the cost line, But conditions are changing rapidly.
 For the moment, of course, pulp mill in Alaska would be as good as license to rob banks. With guarantee ot Continuance ot present conditions. capital would run to Alaska to build pulp mills. What obviously deters IS the fear thar after the war prices will drop until the Alaskan investment would prove unprotltab
 But things may not be just the same after the war as they Were before. Even if the price goes all the way back tc the former level, there is the increasing efficiency ot steamer service to Alaska to be considered, which promises that Southeastern Alaska can compete with Norway under any conditions. Then too if the Oriental market for paper developes, as it is expected to develop, Alaska is the best ant nearest place far the Orient te draw its pulp from. When China uses one-tenth as much paper Der capita as rhe average European country, she will be calling for more than a milli ,n tons a year.
 Inc forest s,rvice has begun to receive inquiries from various int srested parties about the purchase Of stumpage in Alaskan forests. Sooner or later southeastern Alas ka wifi be one of the worlds great sources ,of paper. The immense Tongass national forest IS itself a guarartee that fine United States wifi go on printing papers and books. though Norway should nev- CT export another pound of pulp. Almost VI the center o this i'm mense rational forest is the port of Wrangell-the logical location for d prg paper mill.

can league club to the team in C1eve-
land, left for the latter city last night.
After a conference with President J.
J. Lannin of the Red Sox the outheld-

to him.
Speakers reported intention to de-
mand part of the sum, estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000, which was
paid the Boston club for his release,

Speaker was at Fenway Park in the

idea that my going will spoil the

hardly realize it, said iris.
When asked what he thought of the
deal, Manager Carrtgan replied: ut
is not going to help us any, is it?'' He
looked as if he had just lost a few
thousand dollars.
Speaker is a grand fellow person
ally and he and are good friends and
we will continue to be. He is q won
derfuI ball player. But he has been
getting very big salary, and this
year we did not feel we could meet
the figure he demanded" said Ian
min.
I'm the last two years he has re-
ceived 100000 in salary and an addf-
tiona1 $4,000 as his share in the
worlds series receipts Tie has re-
ceived SIS, 900 a year for the last two
years. and this year it was irnpossi-

a year, but he refused it and there the
matter has stood.
speaker has always been a. con-
sc1enttous player and has tried to earn
the salary he was paid, but we have
felt that the amount was too big for
US. He had remained unsigned, re-
fusing to make a contract at less than
SIS, 200 a year.
ct do not know what Speaker will
receive from Cleveland, but I under4
stand that it will Sbe more than the
$4,000 offered him. He leaves the
Boston club with the friendship of all
connected with the Red Sox, and they
wish him nothing but the greatest
success. am deeply sensible Of his
efforts in behalf of the Boston team,

FULTON HAS
LONGER REACH
THAN WILLARD

New York, April 11-Fred Fulton,
the heavyweight boxer of Rochester
Mimi, is fired with the ambition to,
take the worlds cham pi onship away
from Jess Willard. Fulton stated
yesterday that after his bout at the
Stadium A. c., here with AL Reich on
April g, he expects to take on Coffey,
Moran and Jack Dillon, in order to
force Willard to meet him. Fulton
yesterday visited the offices of the
State Athlete Commission and had a
talk with Chairman Fred "A. Wenck.
The commission has given Fulton
permission to train in public at the
Pioneer Sporting club, where a NOM
ina1 admission fee will be charged.
The big boxer also wants permission
to box against Sam NIcVea, but it is
not likely that Commissioners Dryer
and F'raney will give their approval
to mixed bouts. even in training ses-
sions.
Fulton will probably start training
for the Reich bout tomorrow after
noon. He explained his poor show
ing in the 20 round bout against Por-
ky Flynn in New Orleans some, time
ago by. stating that he. was in poor
health at the time. Fulton is almost
as tall as. Jess willard, but he is not
as heavy. He weighs about 215 pounds
and is 6 feet s1-2 inches tall His
reach is more than two inches longer
than WIZARDS.

not otherwise have Jumped.
He had signed with Kansas City

sign other men,.
aStovall should never have been.
left out Of the major league. He
proved at Cleveland in 1s11.Awhen
he took UP the task of managing
that team. when i'm Mcclure gave
up the management, that he was
the right man. but unfortunately
for the Cleveland club, president
Somers had engaged Harry Davis
to manage the team for the follow
ing season and SfovalI could not
be retained for that position. He
was traded to- st. Louis and after
Bobby Wallace quit as manager,
George again was placed in charge
where he finished the season and
was re-engaged for 1913 as man
ager hut some disagreement arose
that caused Stovall to be let out
and he went to Kansas City in the
following spring.
This spring when the Feds dis
banded Stovall was let out in the
cold cruel world and it looked as
though he was done in a,bsebaIl,
but Roger Bresnahah, who had
taken oyer the Toledo team knew
Stovau was a good ball player and
engaged him to play first base for
