SHIPMENTS OF
i
Approximately *16,000,000 in copper
will be shipped from Cordova. Alas
ka. this winter from the Kennecott
ind other mines contiguous to that
port.
In order to handle the increased
traffic, the Copper River Railroad,
according to an announcement made
by R. W. Baxter, vieeprcsident of the
company, has purchased a large
amount of new equipment, and the
Alaska Steamship Company, of which
he is also-president, will probably,
buy two more steamships to add to |
Its Alaskan fleet. The company al
ready has purchased four new ships, j
"Three giant locomotives left Sche-|
nectady, N. Y.. today,’’ said Baxter.
"They will be shipped direct to Cor
dova as soon as they reach Seattle. In
addition we have purchased new ro
tary snow plows, fifteen box cars,
three combination sleeping and dining
cars and forty flat cars, which will
be made in Seattle.
Shipments Break Hecora.
“The mines will produce more this
winter than during the summer, and
our shipments this summer have far
exceeded anything in Alaska’s > his-j
tory. The Bonanza and Jumbo mines
it the head of Copper River will be
run at their fullest capacity, and the
Latouche and Ellamar mines, at tide
water, will be kept in full operation."
During the past summer Cordova’s
shipments of copper have been run-[
fling about $1,500,000 per month, oc
casionally reaching the $2,000,00a j
mark. Mr. Baxter says the shipments
will be larger this winter. More ore
will be broken and the road will be
equipped to handle it Several other |
properties contiguous to the railroad}
llso are expected to make some ship
ments this summer.
Smelter May Be Built.
Mr. Baxter says the company has
no present plans for extending the
road and that none will be made until
the Alaska coal land situation is
made clear. If the Bering River coal j
is made available, a smelter will be
built at Cordova, but whether the!
road from the fields to Cordova will!
be built by the company or by the
government is something that has not
yet been determined.
“We are unable to take any action
nr to make any plans.” said Mr. Bax
ter. “until we find out what tne gov- j
ernment is going to do. We would
like to have coal, and I haven't any
doubt that if it were made available,
somebody would build a smelter."
Mr. Baxter looks for next year to
be the biggest in the n:s:ory of the
commerce of the territory. This
year's commerce exceeds that of last
year by approximately forty per cent,
and it Is anticipated there will be a
still greater increase next year.—Se

“They are about the best
' clothes I ever wore”
When you strike a suit you always
feel dressed up in and that wears
well, you are liable to brag about it.
Men keep coming back to us for another suit of
Styleplus #17
Clothes
“The same price the world over,"
The gist of what the users say is
this—“I never had a suit I liked
better.”
More models to choose from t-hafi you can usually find
anywhere at a medium price. A selection of fabrics
equally big.
The moment you slip on a suit and stand in front of
the mirror you will recognize that the superior set of
the coat and its style is the work of a master. The
workmanship also speaks for itself.
These are the qualities that will bring you back for a
second STYLEPLUS because the price is only $17—
all the time. You would have to pay more if one of the
great makers did not specialize on this one suit.
