DIVER BRINGS UP
COPPER FROM THE
DEPTHS OF SEA

Wlter Moray, a deep sea diver of
Tacoma, Wash, proposed to the cop
per mining people of Cordova, Alaska,
to recover the ore dropped overheard
in loading ships for one-half the
value of the ore recovered.
They told him he was welcomed to
try, and hoped he would be lucky
enough to make fair wages. Hun
dreds of tons of copper annually have
been lost overheard during the load
ing of ships at that place, and no pre-
vious effort had ever been made to
recover it
An Official report states that Moray
had so far earned a trifle over SIS 600
a month as his share, and persons
who have recently been at the scene
say that when he really gets going
good his earnings will probably far
exceed $4,000 month for a long
time to come.

So far, the McAdoos are the only

Secretary McAdoo himself needs a

Secretary-even though he has re-

have in the family, in case any one
should want to use it"-has his
