BLUM SAYS THAT
re
turned from a business trip over the
Copper River & Northwestern rail
way. They were out a week and
visited all points on the line as far
as Kennecott.
[Slum returns to Cordov filled with
enthusiasm over the outlook of the
interior districts. He was particular
ly struck with the progress made at
McCarthy, which he says has a great
future.
"McCarthy no longer looks like a
group of miner's cabins," he said. “It
has all the appearance of a small city
enjoying great prosperity. New build
ings are going up, the streets are be
ing straightened and graded, and
everybody seems busy.
"The country in that district is un
dergoing rapid development . Much
ievelopment work Is under way, and
eopper properties long allowed to lie
idle are now being worked. Old
prospects are being opened up, and
the hills are full of prospectors look
Ing for new leads.
"in the Han creek district, many
valuable properties have been dis
covered, and many prospectors have
made important discoveries of copper
and other minerals.”
Blum reports the mines at Kenne
cott as working at full capacity. Four
hundred men are employed steadily
and the output of the mines Is main
mined at the maximum.
No news of the recent strike re
ported in the Shushanna has been re
ceived since the original discoverer!
arrived at McCarthy several weeki
ago. There is no excitement, and verj
few miners went into the new strike
Chitina Is prosperous, according t<
Blum, and like all other cities in th<
Copper river valley, Is sharing th<
prosperity which is general in this
section.

SCARCITY OF HOUSES IN'
INSPIRATION
—
Houses are scarce in Cordova. It |
is Impossible to rent any kind of habi- j
tation. In fact the necessity of houses |
Is felt so badly that one of our res*
dents has burst forth In verse. This
Is the first time to our knowledge that
the scarcity of houses has served as
a poetical inspiration.
A cozy little cottage, all In white,
JStands so close within my sight.
I gaze upon it most every time 1 look
From the windows of my three-roomed
nook.
And wonder why no curtains drape
It's windows of such dainty shape.
And why It's chimney never smokes
Except at night—this Is no joke.
I've wondered why those bachelors
keep
This to themselves. It's far too sweet
To batch In, when rooms 3 by 3
Were made for bachelors, don't you
see.
Houses are scarce, it seems to me,
I’d willingly change my 3 by 3,
I'd keep it clean, inside and out,
*nd for such freedom I would shout.
Oh heartless man! if that you be,
ifixii iivehun on thlc hntlttU uith
me?
In advance. I'll pay the rent.
Water and light bill, yes, every cent.
—Prospective Renter.
