HISTORY OF
 ALASKAS00N
 IN THE PRESS
Finishing Touches to the Browning Achieve
 ment of Life
MADE EXHAUSTIVE STUDY
Has Be en Gathering Data During 20 Years
 of Public Life

Judge James Wickersham, former delegate to Congress, is putting the finishing touches to history of Alas ka, a publication that will be eagerly awaited by not only residents and for mer residents of the Territory, but by thousands of others who have never been here. Bancroft, the historian, has given us a brief history of the Northland, but at best it is but a sketchy review, neither complete nor up-to-date and deals chiefly with this sian domination. Dall, who was a member of the party that was install ling a telegraph line through Alaska before the Atlantic cable was laid, got out what many consider a much better work, but his history is likewise confined to Russian occupa- tion days. There have been several other so-called histories of Alaska, but nothing worth mentioning.
 Judge Wickersham has been iden- tified with the activities of Alaska for the past twenty years. He served as a Federal judge for several years and then was sent to Congress, retir- ing of his own volition a few years ago.
 Having been in public life for so long a time; having had occasion to travel all over the great Territory on official business many times; having studied all sorts and conditions of life at first hand in Alaska; having had access to diaries and official records of the Greek church of Alaska; having had personal representatives dig into the archives of Moscow and St. Pet ersburg for ancient data relative to the country, and being impelled with the desire to make history of Alas ka his crowning achievement in life, Judge Wickersham is especially adapted for the work in hand. He is a man of unusual ability, is persistent to degree, and history of Alaska from his capable pen should prove an immense success.
 Another old sourdough has recent ly gotten out a book called "Tillicum of the Trail" O1dtimers of Atlin and Dawson will recall the Rev. George Pringle, the author He had himself travelled over the old Teslin trail, en- during the terrific hardships and pri- vations of that trip, and was the de- voted friend of the musher and pros pector.

KENNEC0TT CORPORATION PAYS OVER MILLION CASH
 FOR ALASKA COPPER MINE
Property Located on Latouche Island and Adjoins Mine Made Famous by John Beatson- James
 Girdwood Shares in the Big Transaction

H. S. Seiberling, president and con- trolling owner of the stock of the Goodyear Rubber Company, has sold the Blackbird copper mine on La touche Island to the Kennecott Copper Corporation, the price being in excess of one million dollars, practically cash. The Blackbird mine adjoins the Bo- nanza mine, formerly known as the Beatson mine, which was taken over by the Kennecott Copper Corporation some years ago. The mine is a de- veloped property, equipped with re- duction and Notation works, and is said by those in a position to know that it is a duplicate of the famous Bonanza mine, which has been a pro- ducer for IS or 20 years.
 MT. Seiberling, several years ago, bonded the Blackbird mine from the Latouche Copper Mining Company, two-thirds of the 100000 stock cap- italization being owned by Jas. Glrd- wood, we'll know mining man of that section of Alaska, the remaining third being owned by Paul Niedeick, Ger man gentleman, the consideration being s4OO,OOO. The bond called for mine development and installationof the necessary reduction plant and flo- tation process for the treatment of the ores, no cash being eXacted on the part of the owners until later on. It is said that Mr. Seiberling expended some $45O,O0O on the property, when Kennecott people, with the result as before stated. Before turning over the

TANK PITCHING MAIN DEFENSE AGAINST WEST Might Be Real Menace Because of Strong
 Hitting N. Y. AVERAGE NOT HIGH Western Teams Depend on Bat Men; Tanks
 on Hurling Staff
N. Y. AVERAGE NOT HIGH

NEW YORK, April 3.-Take three pitchers away from the New York Yankees and, far from being a pros pective pennant winner they might do well to finish at the head of the second division. Nothing startling or unique about that, of course. One might just as well suggest taking the whiskers off Uncle Joe Cannon and note how quickly he becomes clean shaven.
 The point we are trying to make is that the Tanks lean more heavily upon hitting, contrary to popular belief They lost Ruth and Meusel for the first six weeks of the 1922 season and were able to step along at the head of the American League procession. The answer? Pitching.
 On the other hand, the Detroit Tigers could lose several pitchers and the St. Louis Browns virtually every member of the staff with the exception of Urban Shocker, and still be little the worse for it. The answer? Hitting.
 In Similar Boat
 However, if Cobb and Heilmann were lost to the Tigers and Sisler and Williams to the Browns these clubs might tumble even faster and further than the Tanks without Bush, Shawkey and Hoyt They are being carried by the punch in their bat ting orders just as the Tanks are being carried by the so-called five star pitching staff.
 That is just the reason the Tigers and the Browns are regarded as being so dangerous this season. They do not need as good pitching as the Yankees do, and therefore the development of single pitching star by either Cobb or Fohl during the training season may swing the balance of power to either or both of the western entries.
 Consider the Tiger array, for in stance. Judged upon last seasons records, Cobb can muster nine reg ulars who can hit for an unprece- dented team average of 1884. It will take a lot of profligate pitching to spoil that kind of hitting.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-04-03

Not a man in the lineup is rated below the 300 marks, Blue, at first base and Rignel, at shortstop, hay ing just reached that figure. The remainder of the outfit is rated as follows:
 Pratt, second base, .302; Haney, third base, 1852; Veach, left field, .327; Cobb, center field .401; Heil- mann, right field, 356; Woodall, catcher, 1884, and Bassler, catcher, 1928.
 Even mediocre pitching will win a pennant behind smiting of that degree of enthusiasm.
 Team Average Higher
 The Browns also outrank the Yankees, with team average of 317, but the punch is by no means as evenly distributed through the lineup as is the case with the Tigers. Sisler, with .419, is the big gun in the attack, and if he is to be out of the game until May, as has been reported, the Browns might just as we'll begin thinking of next year.
 The individual averages of the rest of the team are: McManus second base, .312; Ellerbe, third base, .246; Gerber, shortstop, .267; Williams, left field, .332; Jacobson, center field, .317; Tobin right field, ,331; Severeid, cather, .321; and Collins, catcher, .307.
 Assuming that the three clubs named are to furnish most of the front running in the American League race, it is just as we'll for the Tanks that they happen to pos sess five great pitchers. They have a team average of .300,wonderful enough in the old days, merely ordinary now.
 Their individual marks are, Pipp, first base, .329; Ward, second base, .267; Dugan, third base, .287; Scott, shortstop, .269; Meusel, left field, .319; Witt, center field, .297; Ruth, right field, .315; Schang, catcher, .319; and Hoffmann catcher, .297.

property, Mr. Girdwood and MT. Nied- extent of $43O,O0O, the $30,O00 extra being for interest charges and exten- sions granted MT. Seiberling from time to time MT. Girdwood got his hand some check on the dot, his attorney Maurice D. Leehey, looking after his interests in the matter. MT. Niedeick hasn't got his money yet-the check having been turned over to the Unit ed States Government. MT. Neideick purchased his equity in the stock from MT. Girdwood in 1912, or whereabouts. The war came on, Niedeick is Ger many citizen, and the custodian took over the property.
 The Daly Alaska group was located over his holdings, including his stock in the Latouche Copper Mining Con- pany.
 The Blackbird mine was located way back in 1902. The original locator is not known here. William Gibbons, now deceased, who was mine foreman of the Bonanza when Beatson was op- erating it, bought third interest. They in turn sold to Messrs. John Barrack, old Klondiker, now dead, Fall, mining man, and Randt, son of the first gold commissioner in the Atlin, B. C., mining camp. They sold the property for $30,O0O to MT. Glrd- wood, who formed and transferred it tc the Latouche Copper Company, own ing all the stock himself. As before stated, he sold third of the stock to Mr. Niedeick.

PARIS FETES TO RESTORE
 VERSAILLES AND GARDENS

PARIS, April 3.-Paris will be gay in the Spring with celebrations which of the Beaux Arts will extend over a raise money to restore Versailles and the gardens.
 "Les Fetes de France" under the di- rection of Monsieur Berard, Minister of the Beau Arts, will extend over a period of several days and will include the best artists of France. No defin- ite plans can be announced for the moment, but it is probable that there will be some interesting performances at the famous Opera of Versailles and in the Theater de la Refine at the Trianon Palace. Fairy1like festivals in the gardens amid the great trees and illuminated fountains ought to bring forth jolly big crowd and beaucoup francs.
