GOVERNOR SULZER AND
ENGINEERS HERE
The arrival of the speeder at Me
Carthy this morning brought to
this town three well known men
and. whose coming to this section
portends future developm rnt in
the Copper river and White ri
ver countries.
Fomer Governor of New York
who served in congress for a
number of years hardl needs an.
intioduction to the people in the
Territory. In fact it may well be
said that he is one of oursehos.
We may safely say that he is one
of the Countries most able boos
ters. So let us all get together, to
give him our support.
Accompanying Governor Sul
zer are two well known mining
engineers, particularly on the
Pacific coast, making their homo
in Los Angeles, but ^hose Ileitis
of operations have not been 1 in
tea soley to the United States.
It is the great aim of Mr. Sul
zer to leave a government road
built into the interior, and has
been 1 i bo ring with congress al
so with tiie road commissision j
for some months past with that j
end in view. It is also the dream i
Mr. Sulzer tit at the mineral re j
sources of the gre;U interior w i!i
expand to such an extent that it
will warrent the extension of the j
Copper River and Northwestern j
railway to the Shush ana ana |
White river districts.
Governor Sulzer predicts that
with the greater development. ol
what is undoubtedly one o f thj
richest copper c nintries in tin
world, not to speak of the golu
tnd other minerals.thab Codovr.
as theentrance to a vast interior
country, will with out doubt in
i few years hence be tin* c pita!
town and port and leading town
in Alaska.
My early travels in the Terri
tor.v during the Klondike stain

about this country.
In this par t of the state then
are many fertile valleys capabl<
of sustainig a large population
The agricultural resources ii
