 This winter the president, by pro- clamation set aside Rugged island for military purposes. This island lies at the entrance to the bay much in the same location as Heligoland lite, at the point of conrtol in HeIigolano bight off the coast of Germany.
 With Notifications on the island, a submarine base within the harbor, and the necessary defenses and mines in Cook inlet to keep this railroad from being cut between here and the coal fields, Seward will present a naval base unequaled.

Since the information was received from Washington that the chief of ficer of the coast defense forces, Gen. Weaver, had called the attention of congress to the fact that Notifications were highly necessary to safeguard Resurrection bay and Cooks inlet ap- breaches to the government railroad leading to the coal fields, there have been strong rumorS that actual work on these Notifications would be com menced this year.

Mining Notes

Concerning the reported merger of the Utah Copper and the Kennecott which occupied much space and com ment last month, and excited Alas kans considerably, the Boston News Bureau, of recent date says:
 Since the recent stock market col lapse nothing has been heard con corning the Kennecott and Utah Cop per merger. The basis agreed upon was 22 shares of Kennecott for one of Utah Copper. We understand all the differences which arose as to the executive management of the consoli- dated company were ironed out some weeks ago.
 While the Morgan and Guggenhe m interests, who dominate the Kenrc- colt Copper corporation, were favor able to the merger on 2.2 shares-for- one basis and might be able to secure sufficient proxies to put the merger through, it cannot be denied that Op- position to any such plan has develop ed among some Utah Copper share holders. These shareholders believe that they are part owners in the worlds greatest copper mine and do not take kindly to the proposed scheme which links up it's fortunes with those of any other mining under taking,
 As Kennecott owns in it's treasury 104 GOO shares of Utah Copper, and as the Guggenheims individually are believed to represent a total of at least 100000 more shares there is Tn the combined total a formidable az gregate of 600,OO0 shares, or almost 40 per cent of the Utah Copper Com pany's l,6OO,0OO shares.
 The Guggenheims are believed to lave been buyers of Utah Copper dur ing the past two or three weeks, and it is said that they have taken over some very large investment blks. privately. Whether this is being done to facilitate the merger is not aprar- ent at the moment.
 The Utah Copper company in 1916 produced 19O,000,000 pounds of cop per. Figured on this output the company must have cleared up no less than $SS,OOO,OOO. Including its 51 per cent equity in the Nevada Con Solidated, the Utah Copper's profits easily totaled $4O,OOO,OOO, or $25 per share.
 Announcement has been made by Superintendent Wyland of the Tread we'll properties that the company will shortly increase their crews until the mines and mills are working at full capacity.
 StassfOrd, McCandish & Co.,, of the town of Brooks, have purchased a large plant and will thoroughly pros pect Lucky gulch, tributary of Liv- engood.
 The Alaska Consolidated Copper Company, operating on Nugget creek opened up a large body of bornite in the bottom of a 3OO-foot shaft which they recently completed. Much other ore was also blocked out during the season.
 The Mother Lode Mining Company is making regular shipments of ore from Mccarthy, hauling the ore a distance of about 12 miles to the rail road at Mccarthy. The management expects to ship from two to three cars of high grade ore per week as long as the Sledding continues good.
