ToLOVANA OPERATOR
 CLEANS UP NEAT SUM

Word comes from Brooks, the new camp in the Tolovana country, that Gus Peterson < Company, working on the Kinney & Franklin ground. has made his first cleanup of the year at the mouth of Franklin gulch, on Liv- engood creek. Up to the present time he has only washed up about one-third of the winter dump, yet this cleanup amounted to a little more than SIP, 000 The owner of the ground and the operators are greatly pleased with the cleanup and with the outlook for the summer.
 It is generally believed that the dump will yield in the vicinity of -30,' OOO or possibly $35,0OO.
 A number of other cleanups will be made within the next few days, as the weather Is again warm and there is more sluicing going on now than be fore.

COPPER IS BREAKING ALL
 RECORDS

The Utah Copper has made another high record in ore production. May 1 the company loaded at Bingham 39,- 900 tons The previous biggest day was July 8, 1915, when 37,700 tons of ore were handled in one day. The quarterly report for January, Febru- ary and March shows that the ore Is averaging 1.4333 per cent copper. The average extraction was G427 per cent. With the new Notation depart ment in operation, it is expected to make a signal increase in the extrac- tion. The company's net profits of $7,O79,830 for the first quarter of 1916 indicate that the total profits for the year will exceed $35.OOO,O0O The quarterly production of 35,564,5 ,533 pounds assures the forecasters of a 175 100000 pounds for 1916 total that they will be not far wrong.

LARGE DEPOSITS OF
 cHRoMITE NEAR SELDovIA

VALDEZ, June 1. - II. C. Vance, who has been on an extended trip to the westward just returned coming direct from Port Chatham, where he went to examine a chromite deposit owned by C. P. Topliff Charles NJ. Day and Scotty McCrary.
 After making a careful and thorough examination of the property, MT. Vance is fully convinced that under development it will prove to be a large deposit of high grade ore. As say returns proved it to be 47 per cent ore, which is considered very high. and which has a value of $30 per ton delivered in New York.
 Other deposits are known to exist in the near vicinity. and owing to the prevailing high price it is thought that these properties will be worked at an early date.

The mining of copper began in Alas, ka in 1901, and the total output of metal to the close of 1915 is 2l9,913,- 375 pounds. valued at $34,919,58l Of this amount, according to the statis, tics recently completed by Alfred II. Brooks, of the United States geologi- cal survey, 86,5O9.312 pounds, valued at -15.139,129, were produced in 1915. This is more than four times the out put of 1914, and by far the greatest in the. history of the Alaska industry. Thirteen Alaska copper mines were operated in 1915, compared with seven in 1913. A total of 9,6OO tons of ore was mined in 1915. which, in addition to the copper, carried gold to the value of $l53,121 and $455,204 worth of silver.

AMERICAN DOLLARS DROPS
 ON SCANDINAVIAN COURSES

STOCKHOLM, June 1. - The Am erican dollar has been steadily declin- ing in value on the Scandinavian bourses. On May 10 the drop reached a loss of 10 per cent. The normal value of the dollar in Stockholm is 3 kroner and g ore. The decline is partly accounted for by the fact that the Germans have recently dumped a great quantity of American money and bills receivable on the Stockholm market. It is believed, however, that 1t is principally due to the falling off in American trade during the past six months owing to the difficulty and danger in transferring money caused by the tightening of the British blockade. The seizure and holding up of mails is also factor.

HAIL.. The Cordova Times ::

Editor The Cordova llmes'
 rbare is an old saying to the effect that the darkest hour is just before ,,o dawn" and it looks as though, so sor as Alaska is concerned, that is true.
 From observations have been able to make on this, my second visit to inc territory, I am sure that Alaska is on the eve of a great development. And it is the only spot on the Pacific coast of America of which this can truthfully be said. California, Oregon and Washington are not participating in the wonderful boom which has de- veloped in the middle west and on the Atlantic seaboard. Real estate in Oregon, Washington and California is at a standstill.
 The numbering interests are getting better, thank Providence, but they will be vastly better if ships were available to get the lumber to market.
 Alaska, however, is going to de velop her own resources, and on a scale never before attempted.
 The building of the government railroad will open up a vast new ter ritory. People will come to Alaska, not to make a quick cleanup and a quicker getaway. but to live! There will be a bigger crop of babies in Alaska during the next ten years than in the past half century. And a crop of babies always brings business. Business for the shoe merchant, the dry goods store, the candy shop and yes, the doctor.
 Show me a town where there are no mothers and no little tots running around and l will show you a town on which there will be crossed jinks - It cant survivei
 Further, the growth and develop ment of Alaska are going to be along permanent lines. To be sure, the wandering prospector will always be in the territory - more power and more luck to him.
 But capital is coming to develop the mineral wealth of Alaska in a big certain and systematic way.

Yesterday morning the cook, Harry Warning, had his inning. He and Captain Charles Yarbough told of the assault about 8 a. m. March 23, when the schooner was 500 miles south of Samoa. Ac- cording to the cooks story, the first mate objected to his chopping wood on deck on his, the first mates, watch, and struck the cook two cruel blows on the jaw with his first
 In the afternoon the first mate had his inning. He accused the cook of feeding him and other members of the crew with beans. salt pork and hardtack, when such dainties as blanc mango and pineapple meringue were prepared for the captains table The quarrel in which the cook was struck was featured by free and ready use of sailors oaths, all hands agreed. The jury after hearing all sides seemed to think the assault was justifiable.

And rail road dividends shrunk and railroads went into the hands of receivers all over the country. Then suddenly we discovered that the railroads were really public property.
