GUGGIES TO INSPECT
DAN CHEEK COPPER.
Perhapsthe most important thing
that has happened in this dist
rict, sinc^ 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
differeMt copper prospects in
that part of the section.
According Hovard Foster,Mr.
Dunkle, who is employed by the
corporation, will make a trip out
to the Westover Mine sometime
(iurbig 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, Mr.Dunkle wil
inspect the Mother Lode Ex ten
tion, ns the reports given out by
Mi .Hancock, when he examined |
these properties this spring, j
were very favorable.
In case the repoi ts on this j
ground are upheld by Mr.
Dunkle,there is not much doubt
of the Kennecott Corporation
purchasing the whole block of
claims, within a short time; as 11
is said that there are oilier big
copper companies thinking of ca
tering the production game in
this part of Alaska.
Theie is also some talk of Mr.
I unkh going to the Chitis^one
to examine the copper prospects
held by local men and it may be
that the Corporation will also
take over this group for develop
ment.
In the event of these different
properties being opened up there
is no doubt but what it will be
of immense benefit to the com
inunity, as there will an increas
ed payroll of approximately five
hundred men, by the time pro
duction commences.

BIG GAME KILLED ON THE
KENNECOTT GLACIER
J. E. Barrett, anb his brother Ed
Barrett, shot two large grizzly
bears on the Kennecott glacier
•n the neighbor-hood of mount
Regal. They weighed approxima
tively around a thousand pounds
and the sain, had a length of se
veu feet six inches, befe being
stretched to dry. The tracks of
iheir feel were measured, and
found to be eleven inches long.
Ed. Banett took first crack
at the bears but did not kill the
one he was aiming at, consequent
ly they had quite a bit of excite
ment, owing to the fact that they
had only one 80- 30 winchester
between them, and a small twen
ty two pea shooter, -which was
inti rely obsolete for the killing
of those two ferocious monsters.
Meanwhile, tlie.se two hairy
quabrupeds started to try and
do the Jack Dempey t riple, dy
rising on there hind legs ready
to do some infighting a though
one of them was kind of groggy
after being dropped for the
count of eight. But John, seeing
the attack coining, grabs the
big gun, line* up the sights pulls
the lanyard, the gun went bang
and lo and bei ol .1, both of the
opponents were stretched on
the ground, hors De Combat.
