HI IS THIS in
More mastery it in the air and
and the town is agog. Last evening
the private car of President Pirke
9on returned unexpectedly to the
city after having started over the
line for a week's trip of inspection.
In it were President ' Dickeson, Mr.
Close and Mining Engineer Mac
pherson. Upon their arrival they j
immediately went Into conference
with Colonel J. H. Conrad, and that
is all that the public knows about It.
However, we presume that the mat
ter bad much to do with the trans
fer of some of the Colonel's prop
erties to the White Pass railroad.
The Colonel left last night for a
trip to Kurope. and It evidently was
necessary for the officials of the
company to see him before he went.
Now ?e may cut loose and speculate
:is to the probable outcome o( the
< lose conference. The White Pass
already owns some very valuable
mining property, and they must hnv
more in order to assure them suffi
cient business to keep their line of |
railroad operating. There are a
lot of properties in the Skagwav dis
trict, which embraces the lower
Yukon country, and the road must
have It iu order to pay dividends. It
will bo shipped to Skagway, and
"Rain therp com ?* up the old ques
tion of a Mnelter at this point. Fig
ure it anyway you can and that
smelter will bob up at th-? end of
all your calculations.
After th<? meeting the Colo
nel last nipht, the heads of the rail
road left this morning for the com
pletion of their tour of inspection.
The activity of the White Pass in
I setting possession of the copper
mine* would suggest that they saw
in the future a splendid revenue
to be gained from the handling of
the yrllow metal. The Guggenheim*
have their railroad pushed into the
copper districts of the westward,
and are headed for the Yukon, and
what the Ouggenheims know about
the future of copper is something
that would fill a volume The Whit
Pass people are natural competi
tors of the Mx Semitic brothers who
own the Copper River A Northwest
cm railroad Both lines are after
the copper of the interior. Skag
way has the advantage of furnishing
the best outlet, and whoever gets
the Yukon deposits, the shipment
will come this way.

ing enough to tlnwc who are on thr
