MUCH ACTIVITY
CAMP -
McCarthy, Oct. 13—a building
boom has struck this camp and new
buildings are springing up in every
direction.
The Kenuecott mine is running full
blast and is sending out 7,000,000
tons of ore per month under the sup
ervision of Supt. Stannard.
The Ladysmith Smelting Company
has purchased the Westover property,
which is one of the best developed
copper properties in this district, and
' is ready to ship ore to the smelter.
The people of this vicinity have
raised sufficient vegetables this year
for their own use and to spare. In
the course of a year or so they will
be shipping to other less fortunate
points on the railroad.
Frank Hanson had 15 acres of oats
this year which would have yielded
100 bushels to the acre if allowed to
mature. Sufficient hay is being raised
for stock, and while her people make
no claims to be other than a mining
camp, McCarthy is making quite a
showing In the agricultural line.
Otto Luby, who planted several
‘ acres to spuds this year recently sold
eight tons of potatoes from his ranch.
Frank Kernan, who is operating
the Young and Chittitu rivers arrived
in town with a good clean-up for his
Bummer's work.
Important strikes have been made'
on the Upper Uhittitu of silver and
lead the present season.
Prospectors coming in from the!
ilanugKa report a good clean-up as1
a result of the season’s work. The i
ground is reported to be quite rich !
and not far to bedrock.
Owing to heavy and copious rains j
the Shushanna country will take out
moro gold this season than for years
past.
United States rommisioner W. W.
O'Connor made a trip to Cordova
this week to have some dental work
done.
With the pelts of 18 mountain sheep,
8 moose, 8, caribou, 0 wolves, 1 lynx,
1 bear and other game, W. T. Young,

John Rrowder of Fulton, Ky., Arthur

through his glasses on the face of the
cliffs T&fPy* member of the party is
enthusiastic over the great big game
hunting and scenic wonders of tho ter
ritory.

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
Any' person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
business lot in Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
Five hundred lots listed.
