The Kennecott Copper Company
Issue of new shares for Braden and
somo Utah Company stock appears
not to be fully understood.
The offer will be made to all Bra
den stockholders to exchange their
shares for Kennecott In the ratio ol
3 1-3 for 1 Kennecott. No general
offer is at present contemplated to
the stockholders in the Utah Copper
Company, but the Kennecott people
have agreed to purchase the 400,00(1
shares of Utah Copper in the Gug
genhelm Exploration Company’s
treasury, issuing therefor one and
one-half shares of Kennecott for one
share of Utah. An there Is, there
fore, no opportunity for arbitrage as
between the Utah and Kennecott
shares. 4-v
The Guggenhelms are understood
to own personally between 100.000
and 200,000 shares of Utah; the
French have reduced their holdings
, from approximately 300,000 to 100,
000 shares, and the Hayden-Stone
Jackling interests represent between
, 200,000 and 300,000 shares, but none
[ of these appear in the present trade.
The question of who is benefiting
by the Kennecott stock purchase de
pends upon the future of the Kenne
cott property over the next 20 to 40
years. If the Kennecott can repeat
its Bonanza copper discoveries In
definitely the stock has a value be
yond $100 per share, but If there are
many intervals between Its discover
ies of the Utah bonanza ore, the wis
dom of the Utah and Braden pur
chases will be apparent.
Utah Copper is good for from $4
to $8 per share dividends at the
present rate of production for more
than 50 years. The Braden Is rapid
ly coming into shape after many mis
calculations. Utah and Braden will
now stand forth as two of the great
est and lowest cost copper produc
ers in the world. They will furnish
a magnificent background for the
wonderful bonanza exhibits of the
Kennecott. Those three properties
together may make in the future
one quarter of the total output of
copper in the western or all-Ameri
can hemisphere.
Attention, however, will not be de
j voted at present, we understand, to
’ any further absorption of Utah shares
but the Kennecott may take in the
railroad originally built for Its de
velopment and go extensively Into
transportation by water on the north
and south Pacific in conjunction with
the transportation to and from the
mines and smelters. — Boston News
Bureau.

CANNERY IflX MONEY WILL
ENRICH TERRITORY
Figures compiled from data In the
office of Territorial Treasurer Smith
and by J. H. Cobb as attorney foi
, the territory, show that thirty-five
of the canning companies that have
entered into the agreement to abide
by the decision In the test tax case
which is now in the courts, have
made their returns, showing the
amounts of taxes paid by them te
aggregate $115,905.58. These figures
■ do not Include figures from the aeven
1 teen canneries of the Alaska Packers
Association, which have not yet been
fully compiled except for the year
1914. The tax due from the Alaska
packers for that year totals $41,
072.04. The remainder of taxes due
will undoubtedly bring the total to
at least $200,000, according to a
statement made by Mr. Cobb.
“There are eighteen canneries op
erating in Alaskan waters who have
not entered the agreement to abide
by the test suit,” said Mr. Cobb,
"and of these only one has paid the
tax. Proceedings will be started at
an early date against the remaining
delinquent for the purpose of com
pelling them to pay the tax due.”
Details of the mining taxes are not
nil in, but it is believed that when
the legislature is again in session
there will be a surplus revenue on
hand that will total $200,000 above
all the appropriations made.

ALASKAN DIES AT MORNINGCIDE
SANITARIUM.
The governor’s office has been ad
vised by the Sanitarium Company of
Portland of the death on November
19 of John Francisco, who was ad
mitted to the Institution from Val
dez on September 21, 1913. The In
terment took place In the Multnomah
cemetery, Portland.
The wife of the deceased, who
resides In Italy, and a brother-in-law
who lives in Roslyn, Wash, have
been advised of the death and burial
of this patient.
TILLIKUM CLUB
Four Informations wore filed last
week in the district court by District
Attorney Spence, charging the Tilli
kum Club at Valdez, with
having sold liquor without a license
in 1914. Two informations run
against the Tlllikum Club Corpora^
tion and two against officers In
charge of the club at the time the
diabolical offense is alleged to have
been perpetrated. At the request of
the district attorney bonds of the in
dividuals charged were fixed by
Judge Brown at $1000 each. Further
than that Judge Brown will not act.
as he is disqualified by reason of
having been a member of the club at
the time of the alleged offense, if
so they will bo taken up when Judge
Jennings can come to Valdez. At
least one important civil case is to
be tried soon by Judge Jennings, on
account of the disqualification of
Judge Brown.
Members of the Tlllikum Club say
they are indifferent to Judge Spence
and any proceedings he may insti
tute against them. The club bar was
closed May 12, 1915, on receipt of
the news that the circuit court of
appeals had decided that day that
private clubs may not retail liquor
without a license.
The Tlllikum Club is an organiza
tion composed of the business and
professional men of that city, and a
large number of Its membership is
composed of army and signal corps
officers. It maintained a bar at
which liquors were sold to members,
as in every other club in Alaska, un
til the court decision forced them to
close up. Since then a buffet has
been maintained by the club, but no
liquors are sold, and the place has
been the reception hall of all the
notables who have visited Alaska.

NUMBER ACCIDENTS OCCUR
III BEATSON MINE
It Is reported from Seward that a
number of accidents, one of which
proved fatal, have occurred at I-t
toucbe during the past few days. The
names of the victims have not been
reported, but It Is said that one man
was killed by falling over a cliff near
the Beatson mine.
Another man, who had been em
ployed with the mining company, lost
a leg by Its being badly crushed In
the machinery. It appears that his
overalls had caught between two
cogs and his leg was drawn in and
crushed, requiring that it be ampu
tated to save his life.
Two men are also reported to‘have
suffered broken limbs by a cave-in
while working In the mine. One of
the men, it Is reported, ha.d both of
his legs broken above the knees,
while the other suffered a broken
deg and crushed foot.
The Beetson Mining Company sup
ports a hospital at Latouche, with a
physician and graduate nurses m at

ANCHORAGE DRY AND COLD
SAYS REPORT
The Gateway received a sort of an
S. O. 8. telegram from Anchorage,
stating that the burg, which bids fair
to be the new capital of Iceland, Is
suffering worse than Poland or Bel
gium from famine. They say they
have enough to eat, but nawthln else.
When the Farragut was unloading,
or trying to unload, there some days
ago, a big consignment of barrels of
meat fell on the dock from the ship's
sling and busted. The crowd watch
ing the unloading process suddenly
caught a suspicious smell, and hav
tng In mind the stories of German
plots against munitions cargoes,
"every man for himself” became the
motto in fact as well ns in sentiment.
Later the people came back to find
the dear old federal authorities con
fiscating the stuff. It was whiskey.
When the boat came here, it Is said,
it did not yet have the stuff com
pletely out of its system, and Reward
will get the benefit of it. The latest
weather report from Anchorage was
"dry and cold.”—Seward Gateway.
