Saturday March 11th 1922,
Today is a big day in McCar
thy with outside mail and lots
of people returning from the
states, a bridge crew en route
to the river.
Many callers at the News
Office today, hence no editorial,
which will never be missed,
when there are so many topics
of conversation
GERMANY OUR BEST
COPPER CUSTOMER
During the past year Germany
imported 233,072,479 pounds of
American copper, or more than
the combined takings by our
next three largest foreign cus
tomers. Furthermore, this was
more than one-third our entire
foreign shipments during 1921.
The cost of this copper to the
German manufacturers and im
porters was $31,057,096 gold.
Exports of copper to Holland
were formerly for Germany.
In the past year there was
shipped to that country 28,646
940 pounds against 34,228,046 in
1920.
ABOUT TRAVELLERS AND
TRAILS
Carl P. Whitham, mining op
erator of Chisana, is in town to
secure his .season’s outfit: he
arrived on Thursday evening by
dog team. Zeke Mullet, accom
panied him to the homestead,
where he is preparing to relay
freight.
The landing of freight into
Chisana at this time is no easy
task — by horses and bob sleds
to the glacier and from thereon
to Chisana by dog team, con
sumes a considerable amount of
time and effort, especially as
what staking there is on the
trail, has been done between
storms by those who are using
it.
Notwithstanding the fact that
we are continually assured by
the authorities that work will
be done on this trail, so far this
Winter it has drawn a blank.
Ed Briggen was in town yes
terday from Bonanza, he is ore
paring to leave for his mining
property in Chisana very soon.
Jack O’Hara of Chisana, who
lias been spending the winter
outside, is an arrival on today’s
train, he will leave for the in
terior camp as soon as possible.
George Maxwell left this week
on a prospecting trip to the Ki
agner, a tributary of the Chitina
River. With an outfit of 1600
pounds he & his partner expect
to do considerable work in that
section. Roy Snyder is hauling
their freight by dog teams.
Frank Farnan, who has been
at Kennecott for the winter, is
in town getting an outfit ready
for a season’s prospecting a
cross the Chitina River. He will
build a boat and make a start as
soon as the water runs.
Warren Nelson, who is spend
ing the winter prospecting his
property on Copper Creek, is a
visitor to town this week. In a
new shaft he has sunk 23 feet
and there is every indication
that he is close to bed rock.

for
DELEGATE to Congress
In
Republican Primary. April 25th 1922
He is a sterling Republican, standing for no clique or faction
but truly representative of the sound Principles which put
the present national administration in power.
He has lived practically all of the last 22 years in Alaska
and is familiar with all portions of the Territory.
He is broadminded, vigorous, aggressive, and his name is
synonymous with Square Deal among those who know him.
He stands for Alaska as a whole, Alaska for Alaskans, and
legislation to bring renewed prosperity to the Territory.
The problem of the merchant, the miner and the fisherman
will each and all receive fair and intelligent consideration
if he represents Alaska at Washington.
