CORDOVA, ALASKA, SATURDAY, .JUNK 12, 1915.
CORDOVA AS AN ORE SHIPPER
During the past month tho value of the copper ore shipped
from Cordova to the Tuconm smelter amounted to $1,932,(KM),
which was produced at the Bonanza and Jumbo mines at
Kennecott. As these properties are now being worked to their
capacity the output for June will run considerable over
$2,(XX),000. Should the price of copper continue ut the present
figure, and there is every reason to believe that it will go even
higher ns long as the European war continues, Cordova will
add more to the mineral wealth of the United States than all
the rest of Alaska combined. During 1914 the copper produced
throughout tin* territroy had a value of only $3,300,000, while
the gold shipments amounted to $14,(i00,(XK). This year
Cordova alone will produce from $20,(XX),000 to $25,000,(XX)
worth of copper.
All of this ore is transported over the ('upper River &
Northwestern Railway, the only tonnage route in Alaska. With
the opening of the Bering River coal fields, the building of
spurs to the scores of low grade copper properties that require
cheaper fuel and transportation to be worked profitably and
the construction of a large smelter here the outlook for Cordova
would be most encouraging. And the dawn of this prosperity
cannot be much longer delayed.

No time should be lost in securing a copy of the bill passed
by the legislature regulating itinerant merchants and peddlers,
in order that the city council may draft an ordinance that will
protect our local business houses from this illigitimate class of
competition.
-:o:
The Germans are not starving, says Von Jagow, and the
government is pressing for the elimination of the blockade
against food for noireombatants only for tin- principle involved.
Still, food must be getting more or less short, and principle,
like love is not edible.

AN ABLE COUNSELLOR
Robert Lansing, acting secretary of state, is an authority
on international law. He was born in Watertown, N. Y., ami
admitted to the bar in 1885), and for several years was a member
of the firm of Lansing & Lansing. He was associate counsel
for the United States in the Bering sea controversy, also for
the claims commission and the The Alaska boundary tribunal.
Again he was attorney for the United States in the Atlantic
fisheries arbitration at The Hague, and counsel for the
American and British claims arbitration. He is a member of
the leading societies on international law. Mr. Lansing has
been President Wilson’s right hand advisor in all international
questions of law ami it has been no official secret that his views
and' those of Secretary Bryan often run counter to each other.
The resignation of Mr. Bryan will leave Mr. Wilson free to
follow out the advice of Mr. Lansing.

-:o:
A Georgia woman of 80 challenges the women of America
as a crack pistol shot. Georgia is the state that put the crack

■-:o:
Alaskans will learn with regret that Hon. Franklin K
Lane, Secretary of the Interior, will be unable to visit tin
territory this year, as he intended. The unsettled condition of
foreign affairs is given as the reason for not wanting to bt
absent from Washington for any length of time.

CORSER MAKES A RECORD
Tell Copper River & Northwestern Railway is a standard
gauge, splendidly built railroad extending from Cordova U
the Bonanza Mines in Kennecott, a distance of 197 miles. This
railroad is operated throughout the entire year and at the
present writing it has handled the mail from Cordova to Fair
banks throughout the entire winter without, any delay, with tin
exception of one trip when some rocks got into the snow and
thence to the machinery of the rotary which caused a delay
on that day of eight hours. One delay of eight hours in Alaska
for the entire winter season is certainly a record to be proud
of. Superintendent Caleb Corser passed' through Seattle during
the month on bis way to Minnesota to visit his family and whik
in Seattle he received the congratulations of his many friend!
over what railroad men concede to be an operating achieve
ment.—Seattle Railway and Marine News.
-:o:
Herr von Schweinitz, past 72 years of age, has won tin
coveted Iron Cross. The ages of German generals—and
French, too—rather conflicts with the old adage, “Young men
for war, old men for counsel.”
•-:o:
The best evidence that the Copper River & Northw-esten
Railway taps a tonnage producing district is the fact thai
large train loads of copper ore and canned salmon are arriving
in Cordova and’ the steamers sailing for the states are taking
* capacity cargoes from this port.
--:o:
The London Times is being prosecuted' for having printed
* a statement to the effect that the last of tin* French reserve!
have been called up, the charge being that the item lent aid t(
the Germans. This is merely a hint of whaf the freedom of tin
English press is not. And all the rest of the belligerents art
making it just as pleasant for the editors.
Those German Zeppelins are like flea*-troublesome but
n°t mortally dangerous.
----
The war has paralyzed Norwegian revenues, and heavy
war taxes have been imposed. The price of matches has
doubled as a result, and cigars and snufT are about 25 per cent
higher. The heavy tobacco taxes are reducing the consump
tion, but it won’t hurt Norway in the least to learn how to get
along with less snufT.
----__
The question is raised whether Italians who, having been
naturalized, will forfeit their American citizenship if they
return home to fight. Would an American-born citizen who
lent the aid of his arms to Mexico lose his citizenship? And
what about that great body of naturalized persons of Europe
who are doing their fighting with their tongues on American
soil?
