THE COPPER BEE
VOLUME ONE
McCarthy, alaska, Saturday, February 19,1916.
NUMBER ONE
DEAR JUDGE BE MERCIFUL
This is our first offense, or perhaps
better say, Attempt: At having any
thing to do with either Type or Press.
If our readers knew, the conditions, under which
this little Infant Paper was born, they would be
surprised, and we will not take up your time he
re, explaining the circumstances, as you may have
trouble’s of your own.
We have been asked by friends, to roast those
whom they dislike, This, we decline to do but:
We will Roast those who wantonly Destroy Wild
Life. We are Heartily in accord with the prin
ciples on Game Protection, As set forth in,
OUT DOOR LIFE MAGAZINE. The best
Sportsman’s Magazine Published.
Quite a little business aroud town these days, we
sold a post card photo, the other day, and went
right straight down town and blew in the money
but we have always been a spendthrift, so
what’s the use
Miss Frankie Hall, from Chisana. called at the
Studio, and purchased a SENECA. ROLL
FILM KODAK, with corrected Anrstigmat
Lens, just about the best thing made in the
KODAK line, for Alaska. Miss Hail, has that
Northern Spirit, Aiaskan,s want the best.
Messrs, James. Johnson. Nelson, and S.anley.
The Shushana Operators, are moveing the larg
est outfit over the trail that has ever beer, under
taken in these parts, and everything appears to
move along like clock work, A clear case of
Brawn, and years of experience in the North
The James party is so well known in Alaska,
that comments are unnecessary.
We noticed Crepe dangleing fron some of our
Batchelors, Cabin Doors, a few days ago, and on
inquiry, find that the Chicken left town, went to
Cordova to have a tooth pulled, all a waste of
time and money. Our Marshal, has pulled every
thing, from a Yukon Sled, to a Boctleger, and
why not the tooth. It is the Marshal’s Duty to
Preserve the Peace and happiness of our Citizen s
and when said tooth became obstreperous, he
should, have at once caused an arrest, and stoped
this Money leakage, Cordovaward. after those
tooth carpenter’s get through with this corps’y
looking molar, they may permit the Chicken to
bring it home with her, and turn same over to
the Marshal, to be dealt with according to Law.
McCarthy Copper
Will some Inteligent person show us why
McCarthy is not going to make A Butte, or
an Anaconda, We have more Copper in
the I mediate vicinity, than all Montana
holds.
The Bonanza and Jumbo, are shipping over
Two Million Dollars worth of Ore monthly
And this output, is to be doubled in the
near future.
The Mother Lode, Another good property
but handicapped for want of transporation,
Hauling their Ore, fourteen miles on Bob
Sleds, and without a semblance of a Road,
But if they had a Rail Road to the Mine, it
is possible that they would be shipping, a
Million or more every month.
The TJoswig, Property, Undeveloped as it
is, shows an immense body of Ore.
The Harper Syndicate, has taken over,
the Lakina Copper CO’s holdings, and will
go ahead with the work as soon as the snow
is orf the ground, Employing Motor Trucks
in Transporting the Ore to Long Lake for
shipment, We have been, intimately
Acquaintd with M. V. Harper for thirty
years and know him to be a successful and
practical Miner.
Next we come to the Kuskulana, where
Angus McDougal, is holding down a group
of Claims that will astonish the smart one,s
Angus, is now in Philadelphia, where he
was called by Telegram to Confer with men
connected with the biggest Mining Syndicate
in the World.
Close by, is the Hubbard and Elliot, mine,
holding unbounded wealth.
And we must not overlook the Gray’
Properties, on Regal Mountain, as they have
lots of High Grade in sight.
