FISH EXPERTS
RETURN FROM
COPPER RIVER
Dr. H. B. Ward, Professor W. A.
Oldfather and J. R Russell, who have
been making extensive investigations
on the Copper river and its tributaries
for the bureau of fisheries, returned
on yesterday’s train from the Inte
rior, and departed on the Alaska for
the south.
Dr. Ward is a member of the facul
ty of the University of Illinois at
Urbana, 111., as is also Professor Old
father. Mr. Russell is superintendent
of the federal fish culture station at
Birdsview, Wash.
The objects of the investigations
conducted by the party are understood
to have reference to the regulation
of fisheries on the river, to inquire
into the question of how .far the
propagation of salmon was being in
terfered with, if at all, by present
methods, and as to the extent to
which the Copper River Indians were
being deprived of their means of live
lihood by the fisheries, if at all.
It is understood that the report that
will be made by the commission to
the bureau will be that the present
operations on the Copper river are
such as to cause no anxiety as to ad
equate propagation, and that plenty
of fish are allowed to reach the upper
waters of the river to adequately pro
vide for the wants of the natives.
ROBERT SOMMERS IS
EN ROUTE TO JUNEAU
R. .1. Sommers, territorial mining
inspector, who passed through Cor
dova yesterday, has just returned
from an extended trip through the
Willow creek quartz district, at which
time he visited the Talkeetna, Mable,
Gold Bullion and War Baby proper
ties.
Mr. Sommers also visited the gov
ernment coal mines at Eska while on
this trip and stated hat he was agree
ably surprised to find the mines in
such splendid condition. He is en
route to Juneau, where he will take
up the duties of surveyor general and
ex-officio secretary of the territory, to j
which office he was recently ap- j
pointed. j
Mr. Sommers expiessed himself in
an optimistic manner regarding the
quartz camp which, in his opinion,
will eventually develop into a great
commercial asset to the territory.
The lack of good roads, suitable
qdarters for the men and modern
methods of mining, Mr. Sommers
stated, is a drawback to the district.
These reasons and the want of suf
ficient capital have unquestionably re
tarded the development, according to
Mr. Sommers.

\of the coal fields, and the prosecu
