Titus left Ketchikan recently
for Copper Mountain to exam
ine the Big Jumbo mine at Sul
zer. The Big Jumbo mine was
once ranked as one of the
most successful mines of the
Ketchikan district, and there is
reason to believe that with the
! employment of a new system
of operation they may again
i come to the front. Titus is a
| New York mining engineer.
I The property was formerly op
; erated by the late Delegate
| Charles Sulzer.
L. Thimme, of Fairbanks, has

his record, Harris has found
one hundred and twelve store
doors unlocked during the past
year.
