1t has been fairly we'll estab-
lished now that the length OF the

miles. The relocation force has

not De possible to tell exactly the
details OF the work, the amount
of dirt to be moved and the num-
Der OF men to be employed. The
commission authorities are still
unable to say what use will be
made OF the emergency appro-
priation that was granted by
congress. They have been ask
ed to express an opinion as to
whether some of it would be
Northern or not, but no answer
is ready, although there is feel
ing that the present road would
be prepared SO that Seward might

Deputy Customs Collector Geo
Kennedy reports that the value OF
the copper ore shipments from
Cordova for the first three days
of February was over million
dollars, and there is every indica-
ton that during the present
month a new record will be es.
tablished in the output OF this
metal.
AT the present time there are
1000 tons of this high grade ore
piled up at Chitina and another
1000 tons in transit from the
Kennecott mines, besides a guam
tity stored here, all awaiting
transportation to the smelter
In order to handle the output
of the Bonanza and Jumbo mines
two trains are being run daily
between Kennecott and Cordova,
and those in a position to know
claim that the ore shipments from
this port for February will be be-
tween $2,5oo,ooo and 100000,
which is almost as much as the
total output of copper for Alaska

STONE HARBOR FISHERMEN GET
BIG CATCHES; ONE TAKES 100
"Croakers" Fill Waters Near Board
walk-Building Brisk

STONE HARBOR, N. j., Aug. 12.-The
advantages offered by Stone Harbor to
the amateur fisherman are not passing
unnoticed, as Is shown by the daily
throngs who enjoy the sport in the seven
yacht basins, in the channel, from the
Parkway bridge and the boardwalk. AL
bert Idell, of the Germantown police, who
with his wife and family occupied one
of tho Japanese bungalows. caught more
than 100 croakers from the boardwalk.
After supplying his own and the neigh
bors' tables, he put down" and took home
many pounds of the fish for winter eat
ing.
Stone Harbor's pro rata share of the
seashore summer population is consider
ably In excess of its neighborlng resorts.
Nearly every cottage, bungalow and
apartment In the town Is occupied, and
there is an ever-lncreasing demand for
the Japanese bungalows. II is now gem
orally regretted that the full 100 of these
attractive bungalows could not have been
built in time for use this season. How
ever, this will be done in the near fu-
ture, and it Is also planned to erect a
large auditorium and other necessary
buildings with the view of making the
colony an important Chautauaua centre
An indication OF the exceptional pros-
perity which Stone Harbor is ENJOYING
this season is found in the increase Of
both passenger and freight traffic ON the
Stone Harbor Terminal Railroad Reports
from the passenger department show that
the road is running from 30 TO 40 per
cent ahead of last year and considerably
ahead OF 1914.

wound around small turban hats, or even
bonnets, knotted loosely and the ends allow

material and this adds to the attractiveness
of this new method OF hat trimming
