GLACIAL SIGHTS!
BIG SUMMER
Connecting with all steamship*
touching at Cordova during the excur
sion season, the Copper River &
Northwestern Ry., operates a special
train from Cordova to the famous
steel bridge at Mile post 49, ttrossing
the Copper river between Miles and
Childs glaciers. Childs glacier Is
about one-half mole across the river
to the left and Miles glacier is about
two miles across a large lake formed
by the river in front of that Ice mass,
these distances being estimated from
the big steel bridge.
The excursion special moves to the
bridge, affording the passengers a
view of these mighty glaciers. Later
while the trniti is being turned the
passengers walk down to the bank of
the Copper River and gaze ncross the
1,200 feet or more of the stream
directly at the face of Childs glacier.
It is about threo miles wide, from Hfl
to 500 feet high at the face and runs
back into the canyon for probably 76
miles. Throughout the entire summer
season, day and night (and it never
gets dark In this section during June
and July) great masses of ice detach
themselves from the face and with a
roar like artillery of a thousand
cannon fall Into the Copper River and
eventually find their way to the Paci
fic Ocean. It is a sight once seen
never to be forgotten and the regular
trips of this special train is made
whether it is day or night, according
to the hour of the arrival of the
steamship and convenience of the
passengers.
Childs glacier is named for a news
paper man, the late George VV. Childs
of Philadelphia, and Miles glacier in
honor of General Nelson A. Miles of
the U. S. Army.
This side trip is included in round
trips to Southwestern Alaska and
Cook Inlet but if passengers are not
provided with through tickets they
can purchase the local tickets at Cor
dova at the rate of $10 for the round
trip.
Childs Glacier iB tlio largest living,
constantly moving ice mass enisling
in the world. It also has the unique
distinction of being the only glacier
of its kind in the world reached by a
railroad, although the railroad track
is three-quarter of a mile distant and
separated by the river, thereby elimi
nating any possibility of encroach
ment.
The railroad is built along the bank
of the Copper River and the trains arc
in full view of the delta antf glaciers
for the entire distance.
It is a remarkable trip and the view
at Child’s Glacier rs one that wil
never be forgotten as It has no equa
anywhere.

VALUABLE COAL
CLAIMS RELINQUISHED
This week the Juneau land office re
ceived notice from the Commissioner
of the General Iaind Office of the re
linquishment and approval of the
claims for repayment in the matter
of 46 coal claims in the Bering ltlver
District entered by the Youngstown,
Pittsburgh, and the Cleveland Coal
Companies, A decision was recently
rendered by the Juneau office In con
nectlon with this case sustaining the
charges of fraud by the government.
The claims comprise what Is known
as the Christopher, Slmmons-I^etchner
group and the repayment amounts to
$70,405, covering some 7,000 acres.
CORDOVA MINES HAVE
ORE FOR TONNACE
Going ahead and developing the
prospects that have been uncovered
and putting claims on a producing
basis, Capt. A. E. Lathrop believes,
will bring a big measure of prosperity
to Cordova. Captain Lathrop is regis
tered at the Hotel Frye. He is in
Seattle buying a miscellaneous con
signment of articles for his northern
enterprises. Besides running an ex
press business at Cordova and at
Anchorage, Captain Lathrop Is inter
ested in a moving picture enterprise
and a few other business Ventures.
"We are putting more and more
claims in a state of development,” he
said, "and there Is no doubt that there
will be more than sufficient ore avail
able to keep a big smelter busy as
soon as the coal becomes available.
Cordova probably has a greater poten
tial tonnage than any other coast town
in Alaska, notwithstanding the pro
posed development of the Matanuska
coal fields. The coal from the Bering
fields will be Bhipped by Cordova, and
as these fields have the advantage of
a shorter haul they will be a formld
able competitor to the Matanuska
measures. There la no doubt that the
next two years will see the Bering
Hiver coal used at Cordova for swell
ing purposes. The ores, and the
necessary fluxes can all be obtained in
country contiguous to Cordvoa, and II
will be the copper smelting and ship
ping point.”—Seattle Times."
ANOTHER ALA8KA ATTRACTION

Another active volcano has startet
a spectacular movement at Iliamna

Alaska. It will be an added featuri
for the tourist tripe thiB summer. Thi

special trip along the coast so as t<

CANAL WORKERS
TO ALASKA
PANAMA, June 12.—Mnny of the
workers on the Panama Canal nfter
several yenrs of tropical life are now
anxious to go to Alaska where the
United States government Is under
taking to build a railroad. A short
time ago when H. P. Warren, repre
senting the Alaskan Railway Com
mission arrived on the Isthmus to
purchase machinery no longer useful
on the canal work, he was swamped
with applications for positions in
Alaska.
Many of the canal workers are tired
of the tropics, or what is the same,
believe they are and are willing to
risk the rigors of an Alaskan winter
for the sake of change. Immediately
after his arrival, how'ever, Mr. War
ren made it plain that there would
not be many positions open in Alaska.
He also frnnkly told canal workers
that living conditions are far from
easy and that th econstruction gang
would not find the same treatment In
Alnka that they have received at
Panama for the Inst eleven years al
though working for the same govern
ment. Positions are going to be
scarce for awhile, he said, because
not nearly so large a force will be
needed as was employed at Panama.
The government already has sent
out a warning against any rush into
the territory this season as the work
by no means justifies one. More
over, the great majority of the work
ers will have to be prepared to return
to the United States each fall as the
winters are so severe that little out
side work can be done.
Many of the locomotives that were
used in the construction of the Pan
ama Canal and were dally employed
In pulling the thousands of spoil
trains from all along the route of the
waterway eventually will do added
duty on the Alaskan project. They
will have to be altered from a five-foot
gauge to the standard of four feet 8
inches and this work is now being
done in the canal machine shops.
Many other machines also have been
purchased by Mr. Warren and already
have been shipped north to begin
their service.
