DR. THOMPSON OH THE COPPER PR0SPE6TS OF YUKON
"I confidently believe that witbin 15
years the Yukon will have a city the
size of Butte, Montana, built up, like
it, by the development of ccpptr
mining.''
This statement made by Dr. Thomp
son, M. P., of Daw sco City, rather sur
prised (he Toronto Globe, that quotes
him. Be continued:
"The largest undeveloped copper de
posits in the world, I believe, lit up in
the Yukon," he said, "some 200 miles
from Wbltehorse, and about 125 from
Dawson. The copper is of good quality,
too, and there is no doubt of an im
romso ucdertaklng being built up U
that country.
"The deposits He right near the
boundary line, between Yukon and
Alaska, and as there la some doubt as
to the exact location of the boundary,
prospector* have been registering
their claims both in Yukon and Ala k?.
The boundary, however, is the l.ilit
meridian, so that it can be detini ol
and accurately fixed. A eommls-oi
has been working on this during .h
past summer, and will probably flnlih
next year, and I am happy to say iDiu
nearly all the deposits will be found to
lie on the Cansdian aide.
"These copper mines are being work*
d now," he conoluded, "but thev are
ot shipping at preaent on acoouut of
he very low price of copper."

1908 CALENDAR
The Dally Alaskan is tod?y mailing
to lis friends and patrons s calendar for
the year upon which we have just en
tered and by means of which it hopes
to keep tbem <n mind, every day of the
year, of the fact that printing is ao
art, that the A'atkan office is a tort of
art ntudio in this line and that the
Daily Alaskan is a thoroughly up-to
date newspaper, advocating the inter
ests of Skagway first and those of all
Alaaka afterwards, and both all the
time. The calendars themselves are
entiroly home product, so far as tbe
printing is concerned, and we submit
to all who see tbim if thoy are not
swell. They represent, pictorially, tbe
feminine beauty at twelve of the prin
cipal countries of the world, one for
each month.

An Important placer discovery is re
ports I on Valley creek, at the head of
Snsltna river. A pay atrcak 40 feet in
width, panning on the average $1 to
the p?n, is tbe story.
Quite a number of Alaskans are
pu cbasers of Yakima valley lands of
late. Among recent purchasers is Tom
Aitkeo, of Fairbanks, who paid 920,000
for a 200-acre tract of sage brush.
Rev. Dr. Duncan, missionary, Is also a
U. S. eommssionerat Metlakabtla. His
unruly followers of the Indian p<.r?u?

stead of giving the thief the limit, the
preacher-judge sent to Ketchikan for
the commissioner there that he might
s:old tbe bad boys and turn them loose.
