FORTY MILLIONS!
PER EUR
Experts familiar with tbe produc
tion and cost sheets of the Kennecott
Copper, Utah Copper and Braden Cop
per, as now related to Kennecott and
its 3.000,000 shares, have been figur
ing on the present earnings of Ken
necott on the basis of a 32 cent cop
per market.
They reached the astonishing re
sult of an earning capacity at the pre
sent time of $40,000,000 per annum.
This is from Braden's present output
and not from its future expansion.
When Kennecott made its great
strike of Bonanza copper in its Jumbo
claim, it became the copper wonder
In the mining world, but its late ex
pansion iu the ownership of the Cop
per River & Northwestern Railway,
the Braden copper mines and one
ouarter of Utah, places Kennecott to
day as the second largest individual
factor in the copper world, consider
ing copper production and earnings
in a single corporation.
If Kennecott begins dividends at the
rate of $4 per annum shortly, as ex
pected, it will set its dividend base
rat less than one-third its present pos
sible earnings from a 23 1 2 cent cop
per market.

TIMES WORKING OVERTIME
ON BIG ORDERS
The l>aily Times mechanical force
started to work early this morning on
a thirty-six page illustrated booklet,
in colors, which it hopes to have
printed before the next issue of the
paper. There will be 5.000 copies of
the edition, which is descriptive of
Cordova, and the resources adjacent
to this town.
An order for 300.000 labels from the
Lighthouse Packing Company, as well
as a big batch flf forms and blanks
for the Copper Kiver railway and
plenty of commercial printing for lo
cal business firms is keeping our job
presses humming. But the more work
the better. The Times is in a positton
to expeditiously handle all the husi
ness it is receiving, and suggests that
if any firms in town desire to place
an order for printing it will tie turned
out promptly and in a workmanlike
manner, so that the merchant using
same need not be ashamed of It.
BE SENT TD
Instead of reducing the force of sol
diers at the different forts in Alaska
the war department is likely to in
crease them to a war footing, accord
ing to information received from var
ious ‘'underground'' sources, hut
which is as yet not official.
Not so long ago the department ser
iously considered withdrawing the
military from Alaska, a fact, more
than once civilians have wondered
what practical benefit was served by
maintaining military posts in Alaska,
the most law abiding community un
der the Stars and Stripes.
With the building of the govern
ment railroad, however, and with the
talk of war preparedness, the ten
dency seems now to be the other way.
The Valdez Prospector, in discussing
the mutter says:
The rumor which was circulated in
the Alaskan papers last fall to the
effect that the war department was
planning to bring the companies sta
tioned in Alaska to a war footing, has
again revived, and it is reported that
possibly one hundred and fifty addi
tional men will be brought to Fort
Liscum at an early date next spring.
The present force stationed at Fort
Liscum is composed of detachments
from Companies A and C of the Four-,
teenth Infantry, consisting of about
fifty-five men and officers.
The war strength of a United Statesi
army regiment for foreign service, i
which includes twelve companies, is |
eighteen hundred and thirty-six en j
listed men and officers. On a peace!
footing eight hundred and si.xtv seven j
men compose a regiment, each com j
pany bein.r reduced to sixty-fiv* men j
It is believed that the plan to bring
the companies stationed in Alaska up
to a war footing is embraced in the
administi at ion's national prepare 1
ness program, as tbe iroops. especial
ly tb.is< stationed at Fort Liscum and
Fort Seward, would be immediately
available for service should they bo i
require'1 at i"v point on the Pacific
coast.
NOME, Feb. 5. — The Strand-Hed j
mine is preparing to make a big ship |
ment of antimony to the States, and j
expects to send it out by parcel post.1
as th'e rate is only twelve cents a1
pound, and is the cheapest mode of
transportation from here during the!

The heating plant building of Hie
Pioneers’ Home at Sitka caught fire.
The building is a total loss, but the
machinery seems to be undamaged
