FOUR MINES SOON SHIPPING COPPER ORE.
Notwithstanding tho fact that every southbound steamer
is taking a capacity load of copper ore from Cordova, there is
always several hundred thousand dollars worth of this metal
siond here, awaiting shipment to the Tacoma smelter. This
ore is the output of the Bonanza and Jumbo mines and the
Mother Bode Copper Company is now loading cars with this
precious metal, having freighted it over the trail from the
mine. The Lakinaw Mines Company will also be soon handling
ore by reams from its property to the railroad, and when these
four big producers are making regular shipments to Cordova
the present fleet of boats will have to be considerably increased
to handle this tonnage. From present indications the day is
not far distant when Cordova will lx* contributing nearly $3,'
000,000 a month to the mineral wealth of Alaska.
LANE’S DEVELPMENT BOARD.
The Dispatch was one of the first papers in Alaska to en
dorse Lane’s proposed development board for Alaska. Since
then nearly every paper and commercial organization has en
dorsed it. Delegate Wiekersham has pledged himself to make
a fight for it. Certain government bureaus, no doubt, will op'
pose it, since they do not want to see authority now invested
in their bureaus at Washington transferred and centered in a
board in Alaska composed' of Alaskans. Moreover, Alaskan
commissioners would likely pay more attention to getting re
sources developed than they would to whether some redtape
regulation happened to fit a particular case.
This “Administration or Development Board” would ad
minister the duties now perfonned by a multitude of bureaus.
The board would have the jurisdiction over:
1. Public lands.
'2. Coal lands.
3. Railroads.
4. Coverument highways.
5. Telegraph lines.
(i. The game.
7. The fish.
8. The Indians.
Such a board would mean that much of the redtape that
has been a constant annoyance to our people and retarded tin
development of Alaska would be done away with. There are
now more or less misunderstandings that are bound to arise.
Very often a man has to wait a year or so until the government
can determine whether the land that he wants should be looked
up by the general land office or by the forest service. It is
discouraging to have your inquiries sent from one depart
ment to another with nobody knowing just what to do, with
this department deciding one way, and the other department
ruling another way, and you, the sufferer, not knowing which
way to turn.
An administrative or development board would do away
with all such unnecessary delay. The five men appointed by
the President would be in Alaska. They could quickly learn
the exact details of a case. They would be acquainted with
conditions. Their decisions in matters would be final, revers'
ible only by the courts. Instead of having a lot of things to
look after all over the United States, this board could, and
would, confine its activities to Alaska.—Juneau Dispatch.

longer silent partner of her spouse.” This is printed on the
front page, as though it were news. Yet the fact was well
known even as far back as Socrates’ time.
