COMMERCIAL NATIONAL
BUYS BANK BUILDING
Structure and Real Estate Now Used
by Continental Trust Company
Acquired for Cash.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The building now occupied ny tHe
Continental Trust Company. on q
street northwest. has been purchased
by the Commercial National Bank.
The purchase also includes the real
estate and the transaction was Tor cash,
the actual price not being made pubic.
1t is not the intention Of the pur-
chasers to make any immediate change
in the building or to occupy it. but the
ACQUISITION was made in order that
when larger quarters become an aoso-
lutte necessity the Commercial National
may add to it's present structure or use
the acquired property for that purpose.
The.last time the property sold for
cash consideration was in 1908, when
the National City Bank. since acquired
by the Commercial National. paid Sllo,
900 for it to the American Security ana
Trust Company, which formerly occu,
pied the building. and owned the rea
estate and also the l. fronting on 14th

WELL KNOWN ALASKAN
 DIES ON OUTSIDE

Charles Turner, we'll known ill Cor dova, where he lived for years. died May 15, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas according to telegram received here today by his daughter, Miss Lola Turner, who is now in Cordova.
 MT. Turner was one of the early settlers at Cordova, where he lived with his family for years. His many friends will be sorry to learn of his demise, and the sympathy of the en- tire community is extended to Miss Turner.-Cordova Times.
 MT. Turner was we'll known in Val deg, where he was engaged in the jewelry business for several years in the early days of the town. For the past two years he had been sufferer from cancer of the stomach, and a little over a year ago went outside for an operation, but the disease had had made such progress that the sur geons refused to operate.

MINING OUTLOOK
 VERY PROMISING
COPPER MINES ARE IN DEMAND
5. Blum States that Alaska is Attract ing Much Attention from Mining Men in the States who are locking for New Mines.

MT. Sam Blum, who has just re- turned from the States, where he spent the past winter, is authority for the statement that the mining out look for this section is brighter than for many years. During his stay in Seattle MT. Blum kept in touch with the mining situation, and states that ,the high price of metals has stimu- lated interest in the mining industry to wonderful degree. Old mining properties which have been abandon ed for some years, MT. Blum states. have been reopened and are making money for their operations.
 Alaska, however, MT. Blum states, is attracting the attention of the min ing men, who are now looking toward the territory to meet the demand for new properties. Mining men from Spokane, Butte, and New York are making inquiries, and man with promising prospect need have no trou- ble in making a deal for it's develop ment. Any kind of a property with a good showing, states MT. Blum, will find ready takers, if the terms are anywise favorable.
 Copper, of course, is principally in demand, the high price of the metal placing a premium on good proper ties of this class, but good gold pros poets are also in demand, and if the showings made on these properties are such as to warrant the expendi- ture of further money. the cash can be easily found.
 MT. Blum states that he has knowl- edge of at least two deals in proper ties that are now being negotiated. which if successfully accomplished will do much toward bringing the Prince William Sound country more prominently before the world.
