James E. Wilson has about complet
ed bis contract for the hauling of 400
tons of supplies from Strelna to the
mine of the Alaska Copper Company,
a distance of about eighteen miles.
The Alaska Copper Company owns
the properties formerly held by the
Stewarts, who promoted the Valdez
Yukon railroad. The mine was lo
cated by James McCarthy, who lost
his life while crossing the Tonsina
river a few years ago.
It is planned by the company to
do extensive development work during
ihe coming season, and if conditions
warrant a spur track of railroad will
he built to connect with the Copper
River & Northwestern railway at
Strelna. The creek on which these
properties are located was named sif
ter finding the famous copper nugget,
which is a solid mass of copper weigh
ing approximately four tons. An ef
fort will be made to ship this nugget
out by Wilson's team a little later in
the sledding season.
