WHITTEMORE, IN
STATEMENT, OUT
FOR WICKERSHAM
(Cordova Times)
Ed L. Whittemore, elected chair*
nan of the district by the convention,
;hia morning issued the following
statement regarding the action of the
:onvention: ,
“Prior to the Seward convention,
leld last spring, Lewis Shackleford in
;he First division, and many republi
cs in the other divisions, let it be
mderstood that in the interests of
larmony in the republican party, they
vere in favor of the nomination of
fames Wickersham as the republican
:andidate.
“This sentiment was fostered care
!ully and used by Shackleford as a
neans of getting sufficient proxies in
;he First division to control that sec
don.
“It is known that the nomination of
Wickersham was favored in the Sec
>nd and Fourth divisions, and had the
proxies held by the delegates from
;hose sections been voted in accord
vith the sentiment of the men who
?ave them, Wickersham easily would
lave been nominated.
“The sentiment created by the re
lublicans in favor of Wickersham be
’ore the Seward convention developed
md is favored by the rank and file of
;he republicans, who had demanded
lis nomination at the Seward conven
;ion.
“The nominating committee ap
pointed at Seward has failed to name
i candidate, and in answer to the de
mand of the republicans of the tern
ary, a demand created by Shackle
?ord and his supporters, the conven
;ion at Valdez endorsed the candidacy
if Wickersham, thus carrying out the
vill of the republicans, which the
Seward convention refused to do.”
COPPER COMPANY
BRINGS BIG SUIT
AGAINST RIVALS
NEW YORK, July 24.—The United
Copper Securities company, which
las acquired the copper interests of
Ctto Heinze & Co., sought judgment
yesterday for $12,000,000 in the Unit
ed States district court here against
the Amalgamated Copper company,
the Anaconda Copper Mining compa
ny, the Butte Coalition Mining com
pany, and others, when an amended
complaint in the suit under the Sher
man law was filed. It is alleged that
Otto Heinze & Co. were damaged in
excess of $4,000,000 and under the
aw threefold damages were asked.
The complaint alleges that certain
jf the defendants sought to influence
the courts of Montana to deprive Ot
to Heinze & Co., illegally of the right
ind interest in the Minnie Healy
mine. It is further alleged that
£250,000 was offered as a bribe to a
judge if he would grant a new trial,
ind when the judge refused efforts
vere made to have him impeached.
Other charges in the complaint
igainst the defendants were that in
L897 they caused the smelter and con
:entrator of the Montana Ore Pur
rhasing company to be set on fire, and
it the time of the blaze had the water
supply cut off for an hour and a quar
;er. This and other acts, the com
ilaint alleges, were the results of a
conspiracy to restrain interstate trade
ind commerce and create a monopoly.
3ELUGA SKINS MAKE
SHOES FOR THE WOMEN
SEATTLE, Wash., July 24.—A
shipment of ten tons of skins of the
seluga, or white whale, taken in Ber
ng sea, from Seattle to the east, ‘to
>e made into white shoes for women,’*
las caused widespread comment and
nquiry. One leather trade paper de
clared that it would be impossible to
convert the beluga skin into shoe lea
her, the beluga being a fish. Alaska
ishermen have offered to furnish
ikins in quantity ifva steady market
s olfered for them. Inquiry among
whaling authorities brings out these
acts.
The beluga is not a true whale, but
, porpoise. It attains a length of 12
eet, abounds in Arctic and sub-Arc
ic waters, and feeds chiefly on cuttle
ish, but also eats otherfish, and is re
nted to pursue salmon up the larger
pawning streams, notably the Yukon,
"he principal market for beluga skins
as been London and the price paid
here has been so high that the leath
r has not come into competition with
tie hides of cattle. At present the
lOndon hide market is disorganized
y the war.
Beluga skin is said to make good
elting and shoe leather, even white
iather for women’s shoes, but ab
ence of an established market has
mited the supply and kept prices
igh. The beluga also yields very
aluable oils ,it is said.
REE GOLD STRIKE
MADE AT NUCA BAY
Frank P. Skeen, a pioneer prospec
or and mining man of the Kenai pe
linsula, writes Jim Nicholson of
mchorage that himself and Charles
Imswiler have made an important
ree gold discovery at Nuca bay, at
he southern extremity of the penin
ula. The vein, at the widest point
ncovered, is seven feet, and an av
rage assay taken across the face
ives a return of $150 a ton. Skeen
ays he found rich float quartz on
tiree creeks in that region and re
ards it is a likely field for the pros
ector.
Spanish War Veterans of Juneau,
erseverance and Douglas met re
jntly in Juneau and steps were ini
ated to start a camp of Spanish War
eterans in that city.
