SEWARD, Jan. 15. — Harry Eofcke,
harbor master for the Alaska railroad
commission at Anchorage, is an ar

supervise the purchase of a number
of barges and a powerful tug for the

I MINE EXPERIMENT STATION
FOR ALASKA
• Governor Strong recommends the
s establishment of mine Inspection sta
> tions In hfs annual report, as follows:
I “The development of lode mining’
i in southeastern and southwestern
Alaska on an extensive scale calls for
the establishment of a station at or
: near Juneau, which is the center of
a number of great mines. To this
station ores for assay could be for
i warded from all points in coastal
Alaska, and miners and prospectors
could then secure reliable assays for
their ores. These assays should be
made free of charge. Such a station
should also be prepared to furnish the
miner with information as to where
the ore carried in his claim could be
most profitably marketed. If some
general plan of this kind could be put
Into operation and placed under con
trol of the bureau of mines, invaluable
assistance would be furnished the
prospector and miner and the mining
development of the territory would be
j greatly accelerated.
:PURCHASES HOTEL SITE AT
SEIAIARO
C. B. Dodge, Seattle and Tacoma j
capitalist, who was here for some j
time last summer, has negotiations j
under way for the building of a hotel I
covering four lots on the northwest
corner of Church street and Fourth
avenue, according to information re
ceived here by letter on the last boat.
The property belongs to Charles
Tecklinberg and Sydney Anderson,
and an offer of $12,000 has been made
by Dodge and his associates for the (
property, which will probably be ac
cepted, subject to minor conditions.
Jlodge, when here, expressed great j
faith in the future possibilities of;
Seward, and said that within three j
years single lots on the main business
street w'ould be worth $20,000 per lot.
His foresight in the growth of Ta
coma and Seattle netted a fortune for
himself and associatesc.
Dodge purchased some 15 lots all
told from John E. Ballaine on Fourth
avenue last fall.—Seward Post.
