dvantage of knowing how to pack

o know that government trade is now

dways knew—that Cordova stores
tarry the largest and best stocks of

mmpetitors.
In conversation with S. Blum,
lenior member of the firm of S. Blum
t Co., he informed a representative of
r—— ——....
the Daily Times that he hail just
shipped a good-sized order to Anchor
age, for the Alaska Engineering Com
mission. This bill of goods was sold
on a competitive bid from the mer
chants of Seward and other Alaskan
towns, and Cordova quoting the low
est prices the order came here.
Mr. Blum says that he has also been
successful in furnishing the Depart
ment of Commerce with the necessary
supply of provisions for their light
houses in Alaska. He secured all ol
the business he bid on, excepting fot
Cape St. Elias, and in this case was
only $10 higher than the successful
bidder. In addition to supplying Cape
Hinchlnbrook, his firm will also ship
all the provisions for Cape Sarichel
and Scotch Gap, in Southeastern
Alaska.
When it is taken Into consideration
that seven merchants of Seattle anil
Alaska submitted bids for these sup
plies and Cordova was awarded the
business, it is the best evidence thai

man and Frank Korth, the Jury panel,
have arrived from Valdez on the spe
cial term of the district court which
convenes tomorrow.
The litigation relative to the Sew

in which case was telegraphed from
Seattle and has to do with the Alaska
Northern Railroad and the Ballaines,
will be aired at this term. Judge

in intervention filed by Judge Green
on behalf fo Shedd Brothers of Chi
cago and J. P. Thompson of Montreal.
These demurrers will be heard and
determined by Judge Brown this week
at Seward.
The federal government has filed its
complaint in intervention in the suit

fish has now been running. I>ast sea

SHOWINGS IN

thoroughly Impregnated with aralnlca
Iron. Stringers an Inch or two thick
have been found carrying free gold;
assays of which have run up as high
as $200,000 per ton. Other portions
of the lead are said to give high
values in gold while it all carries a
high per cent of copper. Five claims
have been located. These parties met
with quite a loss In the burning of
their living quarters. Most of their
supplies and tools were lost.
The property should be opened and
developed at once, to ascertain the
extent of this rich deposit. A pump
ing plant will be required to get rid
of surface water as there 1? but little
chance for drainage.
N. A. Brown has five claims located
as an extension of the Canning group
and has uncovered the ore at a depth
of 48 feet. He has built a good living
cabin and planted a garden. He is
! entitled to much credit as he aceom
j pllshed the work all alone during the
| past winter even to the sinking of
the shaft, climbing up and down a
ladder to hoist the dirt.
On the same creek upon which the
Canning claims are located, but near
Its mouth and close to the Kotslna
River, John Bellows has a location
of 5 copper claims. He has driven a
tunnel 50 feet into a mineralised xone
and opened up some chalcopyrlte ore.
This is the extent of my investiga
tion of the KuBkulina country and I
feel sure there will be several low
grade copper properties developed in
that section that will prove big pro
ducers. Concentration, however, will
be necessary.
Nothing can be accomplished In the
way of producing mines until the
Bering River coal Is available and
transportation rates reduced. The
country has plenty of timber for min
ing purposes for years to come and
power could be developed In the Kus
kultna to quite an extent, which
would cheapen mining operations. I
secured samples from many of the
properties which are on exhibit at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms.
There are at least 10,000 acres of
first class agricultural lands in the
vicinity of Strelna. This land can be
made to product practically all the
supplies that the mining population of
the Kuskulina will ever use. Irriga
tion will be necessary, but this is a
simple matter from the Strelna river.
Several homesteads have already been
taken up. V. J. Dwyer has 320 acres,
i Jack Walsh, 320 acres, Geo. Wolf 320
acres and there are others whose
names I did not get. All have good
gardens growing and homes erected
and the country is beginning to take
1 on the aspect of a new agricultural
district. Grazing land can be found
on Cow Creek and at the head of the
Kuskulina for thousands of head of
cattle and sheep. Stock do well from
May 1st to October 1st, but would
i require feed after that time, all of
which can be produced right in the
, vicinity.
, Altogether my trip was very satis
i factory and I return home more con
, vlnced than ever, that this section of
Alaska will eventually produce large
wealth.

CHIEF CLERK EAMES
BOOSTS WESTWKRO TRIP
That the opportunity presented to
tourists by the Santa Ana to see the
most interesting of all parts of
Alaska, the district to the west of
Seward, is first class, is the opinion of
Alvah Kames, chief clerk of the Rail
way mall service, who came on that
vessel last evening. He speaks in the
highest terms also of Captain Hansen
and the other officers and the crew of
the vessel. The Santa Ana has some
thing which the Dora needed badly,
and that Is a cold storage which keeps
the meat fresh for the return journey. |
Mr. Kames has advertised for bids'
for next winter’s mall service for the
Bristol Bay points, Nushagak, Dllling
ham and Naknek. He has advertised
both from Cold Bay and Seldovia but
only one contract will be let which
will be supplied from one or the other
of those points. Mr. Kames will take
a trip to Anchorage on the Alameda to
look over postofflce matters there.—

WASHINGTON, O. C„ June 7.—The
state department officially announced
today, that It had received advices
from the German government stating
that the torpedoing of the American
Hawaiian liner, Nebraskan, was being
Investigated by that government.
This is pleasing to the American
government, who wlU make represen

who would prefer to have Germany
make Its investigation at once so that
diplomatic negotiations will not be
delayed.
