TUNGSTEN SENT
BT PARCEL POST
The first shipment of tungsten from
Fairbanks arrived at the Cordova post
office yesterday. It was a ton o(
sacked concentrates, anti came as par
v* '
ce! post, and othWr Shipments will fol
low. *
The demand for tungsten is growirtg
* v v
in the starts every day, and the man
ufacturers of steel and users of the
metal are having more difficulty in ob
taining it. The price of tungsten ad
vanced 25 per cent only a short time
ago, and the indications are that it
will go still higher if the war con
tinues, and the demand for munitions
keeps up.
From the head of Gilmore creek,
on Tungsten hill, Johnson & Ewers
have been taking out ore all winter
They have traced the ledge for ovei
50 feet, and have a great deal more
in sight, which will be got out for
shipment by the river route.
Other properties in the same vi
cinity are said to have some likely
looking tungsten prospects, and art
in hopes that they will be in shapt
to ship some concentrates during th<
coming summer. On Ester Dome It Is
said that some of the prospectors
there have some likely looking pros
pects also.
A numb>.r of chemical concerns in
Pennsylvania and other parts of the
country are anxious to get all the I
tungsten they can, so that there will
be no trouble In finding a market for (
the production once it is in shape for
shipment.
Should they send their concentrates
out by express the rate would be ex
orbitant. In fact it would cost sev
eral times ns much to send it from
Fairbanks to C'hitlna as it does from
Fairbanks to Pennsylvania by par
cels post. The through rate by par
cels post is 12 cents per pound, or a
little more than 1240 per ton in small
sacks.

NOTICE.
_
The Copper River & Northwestern
Railway and the Alaska Steamship
Company have decided not to submit
to the arbitrary action of the officers
of the Cordova longshoremen's Union.
These officers have called a strike
' and then later stated their demands,
and refused to allow any time for j
adjustment. Regardless of their de- j
mauds, which are excessive, they have
therefore forfeited all right to bo dealt ;
with as union officers. The railway !
and steamship company are prepared]
to put permanently sufficient men on
the w harf to handle all cargo, and if ]
necessary will do so.
The railway company will provide j
quarters and meals for their men so
long as necessary, and will protect
them in their work.
Union officers are hereby notified
to keep off the wharf and approaches
and other railway property.
The railway company will, as far asj
possible, provide its longshoremen |
with section or other work, when suf- I
Iclent work cannot be offered at the
rharf.

GRIFFON CLOTHES for men prove that it isn’t
necessary to be extravagant in clothes expenditure. They
demonstrate that fine woolens, good style and superior
tailoring are not measured by price, but by skill.
We recommend GRIFFON CLOTHES for men with
a taste for fine clothes—to men who must practice eco
nomy—to all men of judgment.
