SITKA'S DAY :
IS DAWNING
OR. KELLER PREDICTS BETTER DAYS FOR

MENTS THERE-COPPER FOUND j
Dr. L. S. Keller, who has been in
Sitka for the pant month, in speaking of
that city today <ald: "I think tin- r?
moral of tho cipitil Irotu Sitka tvally
did tin' town much good ? it was the
making of it It Is my opinion Sitka is
better off today, more prosperous 1
mean, than It over ha? been. The gov
eminent has erected the largest wlre
lo>s station on the coast onJaponaky
island, and the island has already been
eonnee'ed with Sitka by a telephone
system Persistent rr|iort ha- It that
a portion of the Pacific s^usdron will
be stailoocd there and that large coat
btijkers will be erected al Sitka. H.
A. Batter, who is well remembered by
old time residents of Skagway, has
struc^it rich on Herriug bay, two miles
from Sitka. He has uncovered a great
copper ledge, which is tirn miles long,
and h s taken out a qu?ntity of ore.
wbich has been shipped to the Tscoma
smelter. The ChichagolT island mines
at e looking encouraging and the stamp
mill on the DeGrofT property will be
started about the first of the month.
The hot springs, too, are attracting
many visitors. Tanakee did a big busi
ness this year and it is likely that large
hotels will be built at V arm Springs
andStka. Arrangements are on foot
for the leasing of the springs at these
po uts from the government, and if the
leases are gotten permanent improve
ments on a largo scale will be made,
and next year will see the number of
visitois at these springs increased tuany
scores. The waters there are excellent
and the scenery, tishiug and hunting
re fine. In fa t, everything Is there
that will have a tendency to attrrci
visitors. It is my opinion that Sitka is
today the best town, outside of Skag
way, in Southeastern Alaska."
