COPPER CLAIMS
 TO BE OPENED
WORK ON AN EXTENSIVE SCALE
Properties at Sulphide GuIch Have Been Financed in the States and a Large Crew of Men Will Be E.m- piOS+d this Summer.

The extensive copper properties at Valdez. on the opposite side of Lowe ..lver from Camp Comfort. will be developed on an extensive scale this summer, according to letter receiv- ed by Charles Sealey on the last boat The letter is from Dr. F. M. Boyle. who is now in Philadelphia, and states that the property, which is owned by himself and Capt. Peabody, will be worked this summer and that large crew of men will be employed. The letter further states that all the financial arrangements have been made and that ample funds to carry out the projected development have been secured.
 This property was prospected to a considerable extent last season, and some very good showings made. The ore bodies are extensive and some of the leads carry high values. Owing to the size of the ore chutes, it is antici- pated the ore can be mined at very low cost. and that the property will be large dividend producer.
 These claims were originally locat- ed several years ago by A. M. Powell. the well-known guide and prospector, who carried on the assessment work for some years. Several deals were made by Powell for the development of the property, but financial arrange ments fell through, and two or three years ago Powell ceased to represent the claims. s..,..
 Last summer the claims were relo- cated and considerable prospecting done with satisfactory results, some high grade ore having been uncov- cred. On this showing, 1t Is evident Capt. Peabody has succeeded in finan- cling the proposition *t
 During the time the property was held by Powell, several mining engi- aeers of national reputation, visited the claims and gave favorable re- ports. Y

hams varied activities have included
the authorship of books on naval af-

breach of the German promise to Pres

submarines had committed violations

S135,OOO Property Loss

The fire, the cause of which has not
been determined, still smouldered at
midnight, making it impossible to as
certain how many of the inmates of the
hospital had persisted. The property
damage was estimated at $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.
One reason for the difficulty in def
initely establishing the loss of life. it
was said, was that the majority of the
inmates of the hospital were without
relatives or friends. Those who per-
ished are believed to have been en-
tombed by tons of debris.
An investigation as to the cause of
the fire disclosed that blaze started
in a chimney of the hospital Tuesday
night. 1t is the theory of the authori-
ties that this smouldered and broke
