T.A.Huddleston, Supt of Roads
for this division of the A. R. C.
was a passenger on Monday’s
cannon ball to Chitina, From the
junction point he took an auto on
into Valdez.
We asked a ”Si wash”, what he
was thinking about, once upon a
time; and his reply was," Si wash
he never think”. Ve agree. Last
Monday a couple of our little red
brothers were summarily halted
in the ’midstof a celebration they
were staging, and dragged away
to durance vile, by lT. S. Marshall
Miller. Upon being hailed into
the Commissioner's Court, one
of the miscreants stated that
he hadn't much use for this A
merican civiliaztaion ay how. Now
the boy lias a chance to learn to
think, — ” Thirty days”, said His
Honor.

GREEN BUTTE MAKES
IMPROVEM ENTS
During the past week eight
carloads of lumber, consigned to
the Green Butte Mines Co. arriv
ed in McCarthy, and a large a
mount has already been trans
ported to the mine. The present
shipment of material is to be
used in the construction of a first
class dormitory at the upper
camp. While a crew of men are
busy up above, a large force is
putiing up a fine log building at
the lower camp, and otherwise
putting things in shape for the
accomodation of a full crew thru
the winter months.
Through the effleent manage
ment of the owners, the Green
Butte is now ranked among the
copper producers of the district,
whereas a year ago it was con
sidered only a mighty good pro
spect. That the owners are con
fident of the future is amply
shown in the manner they are
making preparations for the em
ploy ment of a full crew during
the winter, in spite of the price
of copper.
-AND YET
ANOTHER ONE
There are hunters who doit a
round the stove, and there are
others who don’t. Witness the
case of a son of the Sun flag, who
is in the employ of the Kennecott
Corporation. The young hunter
shouldered his trusty rifle one
morning, recently and went out
hunting sheep. A sheep was spot
ted, the hunter fiied; the sheep
dropped; the hunter ran up and
—TWO sheep lay dead. Let the
’’coffee coders”, beat this,un.
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
Opened at Kennecott
Monday school began at Ken
necott, with the usual num
ber of pupils. The day also mark
ed the opening of the city’s new
ultra modern school building,
that has just been completed.
The building is properly heat
ed and ventilated, while the light
ing system is scientifically cor
rect. The institution is one *any
town would be proud of.
