VALDEZ GREEK
—
C. W. Norton, who located on Lucky
J Gulch, a pup of Valdez creek, in 1913,
! upon which he struck the paystreak
last year, recently left on a trip to i
the States, but is expected back in
Cordova the latter part of June, and
he will go to his property via the
Chitina-Fairbanks trail, leaving it at
the Myers roadhouse and going across
country to the mouth of Valdez creek.
The most important agent in re
tarding the development of the Val
dez creek mining country is the ex
istence of inadequate transportation
facilities, said Mr. Norton in speaking
of the mining conditions generally of
the Broad Pass country. Supplies
and provisions have been brought into
the Valdez creek district at an aver
age cost of 25 cents per pound and
are transported over the winter trail
from Copper Center via Gulkana and
McLaren rivers to the mouth of Val
dez creek. The construction of the
government railroad, continued Mr.
Norton, through to the Broad Pass
will reduce the transportation charges
to at least 5 cents per pound, and will
enable many of the small operators
to begin active development work on j
1 their claims. The distance between
j the pass and the mouth of Valdez
l creek is about fifty miles, as against
j one hundred and seventy over the
j trail from Gulkana.
The Valdez Creek Placer Mines!
! Company, the biggest operator in the
district, is located on Valdez creek,:
about half a mile above its mouth. |
Two summers ago the company em
ployed a force of fifty-five men
throughout the season, and last sum- j
mer employed about thirty. While!
the plans of the company are not j
known as yet for this summer’s work,
it is expected that substantial work
will be done on its properties. Pre
vious to the company’s acquisition of
; the ground, in 1913, more than a hun
! dred thousand dollars had been taken
i out by individuals. During the five
| years the company has taken out
$130,000. With additional equipment
I and lower cost of getting supplies on
! the ground the output of the mine
: will be more than doubled, said Mr.
Norton.

STANDARIZED VESSELS
CONSTRUCTED IN ENGLAND
LONDON, May 4.—Fabricated ves
sels are one of the latest and most
interesting developments of Great
Britain’s shipbuilding drive. A fab
ricated ship is one whose compon
ent parts are manufactured in other
than shipbuilding yards, usually in!
plants inland. The new fabricated |
ship is larger than most of the stan- '
dard ships and there is not a curved
frame in it.
In fabrication of ships the aim was '
to increase speed of production and .
also to utilize for shipbuilding pur
poses such plants as bridge-building
y%rds and large engine factories.
It is expected that ships of the new
type will materially increase tho ton-,
nage output.

_ I
.Vemorial day takes on for
all of us a new significance in
this year of grace. In past
years we have laid our flowers
on the graves of the dead in
loving and patriotic apprecia
tion of the fact that they saw
their duty and did it. Today
the flowers will be laid as
usual, but they will be but
withered blossoms of the soul
unless we lay with them the.
determination to do our duty
in the crisis that confronts
our country, even as these did
theirs. It is a day for search
ing of one’s soul, for a purg
ing of all sloth and ununlling
ness to do our part, of noble
shame at our failure hereto
fore to live up to the great
ness of the opportunity which
exists for every real American.
It is a day for memory and
manhood.
