WELL KNOWN VALDEZITE
DIES FROM CANCER IN
HOSPITAL AT LATOUCHE
Mr. Charles T. Lawson of Valdez,
Alaska, died in the Latouche hospi
tal at Latouche, Alaska on August
9th from cancer of the liver. Mr.
Lawson had not been in his usual
state of health for two years, grad
ually going down hill, until eight
weeks ago when he was forced to
take to his bed. He remained at
his home in Valdez until intimate
friends became desperate and pre
vailed upon those in charge to re
move him to the Latouche hospital
where it was thought that something
might be done to save him. He,
therefore, »was removed to Latouche
on August 6. On arrival there the
surgeon in charge at the hospital per
formed an operation but the growth
was found to be so extensive that
there was no hope for recovery. He
died on August 9. The remains were
removed to Valdez for burial on Aug
ust. 15.

INVESTIGATE
COPPER ORES
THIS SECTION
Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, chairman of
the Alaska Advisory Committee and
head of the United States Geological
Survey in the territory, returned last
night from a trip to Katalla, where
he visited the coal and oil , fields.
He will leave here in a day or two
on a tour of Prince William Sound
for the purpose of making an exten
sive investigation of the copper re
sources. The object of this trip is
to carry out the Inter-Departmental
Committee’s recommendation to de
termine the feasibility of smelting
within the territory of copper ores.
In making the investigation both the
Kennecott and Latouche districts will
be visited and all the elements en
tering into the successful operation
of a smelter given careful considera
tion.
It was not the idea of the Inter
Departmental Committee, according
ot Dr. Brooks, who is its chairman,
that the government should under
take the establishment of a smelter
in Alaska. He is convinced that it
would be impossible to secure an ap
propriation for such an enterprise.
The investigation is being made to
determine the feasibility of such an
industry with the idea of turning the
data over to anyone interested. The
results of the summer’s work will
be made the subject of a report to
be published in the near future and it
is the belief of Dr. Brooks that pri
vate capital can be secured to estab
lish a commercial smelter.
