Sweden Holds UP Russian Supplies.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 7—The English-Kwedish com
mission which has for two months been striving to adjust the
trade differences between the two countries, is no nearer a
satisfactory solution of dispute* than at the beginning of its
session. Meanwhile, over twentv-five million dollars worth of
supplies for Russia which she urgently need's, have accumulated |
in Sweden, owing to this country’s refusal to allow the transit ,
of goods to Russia until England has modified her demands i
regulating the amount of Sweden’s imports.

GREAT NEED
OF KOTSINA
A. Ammann, who has sp^nt the past
hirteen years developing copper pro
>erties in the Kotsina district,
tales that the mines in his district
ire responding to development work
n a very satisfactory manner but are
jreatly handicapped from lack of
ransportation.
There are many properties in the
llsirict which may have been develop
'd to a point where they would now
>e producers if their ores could be
narketed. Among the men who spent
he summer in the district wera. Pat
tlurphy, Ed. Young, Tony Barr tt, E.
1. Drake, Matt Larson. The Hub
lard-Elliott company employed a num
ler of men doing development work, j
s also did the Alaska Consolidated
’opper Company on the Chitna side
>f the range.
Mr. Ammann has several proper
ies in the district and has driven
learly one thousand fee* o' tunnel.
}n Copper creek, tributary of the
Cotsina, he has a splendid showing
f bornite ore and further up the river,
in Roarink creek, he has opened a
arge body of copper dance. The
edge is 28 feet wide and is very high
jrflde.
Mr. Ammann and the other miners
lelieve that their section of the coun
ry is entitled to some attention from
he government in order to enable
he property owners to develop their
:laims at a reasonable cost by secur
ng cheaper freight rates. He states
hat the average cost of running tun
lels in the district is close to 120 per
'oot, owing to the high cost of getting
applies to the properties.
WINTER SUPPLIES ARE
REPORTER SHY ANCHORAGE
Conflicting reports were brought in I
rom Anchorage on the last boat as)
0 conditions there for the coming I
'inter in regard to supplies.
Traveling men who have just com-j
leted a circuit of the stores there and j
re now in Seward state that if the |
eople now in Anchorage stay there j
tiring the winter there are not enough
upplies on hand to last during the
ime Cook Inlet is closed by ice.
’his statement is made in reference to
lie town of Anchorage itself, and not
1 the engineering commission camps,
hieli have supplies ordered by the
overnment which are supposed to be
lore than ample.
Charles Brown of Brown and Haw
ins, says that in his opinion about j:
,000 people will remain in \nchorage j j
>r the winter and that there are suffl- •
lent groceries and supplies on hand :
l the various stores there to support :
lat number.
The last steamers will reach Anch- ■
rage in November, probably about ■
ovember 15. It is probable that i

let even later, but past experience •
tows that these are liable to ,be j
lught in the ice any time after that :
