GUGGIES TO INSPECT
DAN CKEEK COPPER.
Perhapsthe most important tiling
that has happened in this dist*
rict, since the Shushana. rush
came to a head recently, when
the Kennecott Copper Corpora
tion decided to send an engineer
over to Dan Creek to inspect the
different copper prospects in
that part of the section.
According Howard Foster,Mr.
Dunkle, who is emoloyed by the
corporation, will make a trip on'
to the Westover Mine sometime
during the coming week,and give
the property, a thourough exam
ination in view of the Kennecott
Corporation purchasing the!
ground. He will be accompanied;
by Mr, Foster on the trip.
It is also understood that while |
in the section, .Vi r.Dunkle wii l
insi ect the Mother Lo(ie Exten ,
lion, as the repoits given out by!
Mr.Hancock, when lie examined'
these properties this spring,
■were very favorable.
In cise the repoits on thi-j
ground are upheld by Mr. j
Dunkle,there is not much doubt
of the ivt*anecott c. >rt)orauon |
purchasing the whole block of
claims, within a siiort time; as :ij
is said that there are other Dig j
copper comoan es thinking of e j
tering the production game in
this pari of Alaska.

Jnrfle going to (hr Chilis'one
to examine the copper prospects j
lit let hy local men and it may he j
that the Corpmation will also
take over this group for develop
iiient.
In the event of idlest different
properties being opened up there
is no doubt but wliai it will be
of immense benefit to th » com
munity, as there will ail increas
ed payroll of approximately live
hundred men, by the time pro
duction commences.
