CORDOVA. Alaska.
~ ORDOVA is the copper center of
N Alaska. 1t is the terminus of
" the Copper River and North
~ western railroad. which winds
it's way up the Copper River valley and
taps the great copper deposits that lie
on the southern slopes of the Wrangell
range. The ore now coming down to
the port is from only two or three
mines belonging to the Morgan-Gug-
genheim syndicate. but the copper belt
is over seventy miles long and twenty
miles wide. 1t is one of the most ex-
tensive and richest of the copper areas
of the world. More than 400 copper
locations have already been made. and
the wealth of the deposit is such that
Alaska may become as noted for its
copper as il is for gold today. The first
trainload of ore that came down to this
port contained metal to the value of
more than $500.o 900. and that now on
the wharves here is worth from s12 900
TO 5000 car load The ore is brought
down in sacks big as an ordinary
pillow and OF the weight of an average
man. Each sack contains from $50 to
