TO OUR MAIL SUBSCRIBERS.
The Times is doing all in its power to insure the prompt
delivery of the paper along the line of the Copper River &
Northwestern Railway. Many complaints have reached us that
the paper is not being received regularly. Our subscribers will
confer a favor on ths Times if they will write us, specifying the
dates which are missed, in the future, an dwe will take steps to
find out where the trouble lies.
A GREAT COUNTRY.
Yesterday the Times printed an interview with Falcon
Joslin, in which that gentleman expressed himself as aston
ished at the richness and varied resources of Katalla and the
immediate vicinity.
Joslin has been in Alaska and the Yukon territory for
years. He was one of the first men to .join the rush to the Klon
dike, and has been closely associated with the north ever since.
During the intervening years he has visited every part of Alas
ka, and is acquainted with the real resources of the country as
are few men.
Hence, when Joslin, after his visit to Katalla, becomes
enthusiastic over the country, it means that the region about
Katalla stands out to a marked degree in natural richness
above, other parts of the territory.
Katalla lias great beds of coal, she has producing oil wells,
magnificent timber and plenty of fish in her streams.. All that;
holds her hack is lack of a suitable harbor. It is here that tliei
misfortune of Katalla is to the advantage of Cordova .as it j
means the products of that district must eventually come
through this port. Of course if Katalla had had a harbor, ori
it was possible to build oito, Cordova would not he here today.!
WIkmi one thinks of the great resources of Katalla and
those tributary to Cordova, it is no wonder that the people of j
this city have an abiding faith in its future.
The coal and oil of the Bering river fields .in con junction j
with the copper ore from Kennepott and other interior points,)
form a combination which some day will make Cordova a citvj
of 25,000 persons.
COPPER WILL REMAIN HIGH.
Tn Walker’s W eekly Copper Letter, printed' in the Boston
Commercial of May '27, the following comment is made: “Those
who are endeavoring to depress the [n ice of copper are making
a great deal of talk about the largely increased volume of pro
duction. They are saying nothing, however, about the pros
pect that the European war will continue during the remainder
of this year and quite possibly throughout 1917. They are
preserving silence also on the question of preparedness in the
United States, a factor which should soon create a demand for
tors of millions of pounds of copper. Apparently they are ig
noring the revival of activity in the electrical construction
business and see no significance in the fact that congress is
n > considering favorably a bill, the enactment of which will
be followed by immense hydro-electric developments. These
factors combine, however, to make the future outlook for cop
per consumption exceedingly promising.
“It is well to remember that during the past twenty
months the largest production of copper in the world’s history
lets gone into consumption, that in the same period a surplus
supply of approximately 400,000,000 jimmds has been absorbed
also, and that fully three-quarters of this year’s output has al
ready been sold to consumers. With these facts in mind, and
the knowledge that Germany and Austria, two countries that
normally consume 27 per cent of the world’s output, have been
shut off from the sources of supply for twenty-two months, one
is hardly warranted in taking a bearish view of the copper
situation. There is no reason to doubt that the market will take
at good juices all.the metal the mines will be able to produce
for many years to come.”

HAS SOLD ENOUGH LOTS.
- . . . ' . I
•i.ph* of Anchorage have circulated petitions asking
the, government, to restrain its impulse to keep on creating ad
ditions to that city and selling lots as long as there is anybody
to buy.
ft is asserted that the continual lot sales tend to unsettle
values, scatter the city over too large an area, and even, it is
aid, shows had faith on the part of the land office.
The Times agrees with all the assertions of the petitioners,
it is about time that the government went out of the real estate
business anyway. It already has received too much money for
the Anchorage townsite, and the attempts to sell more lots
111 aces the government on a par with any snide real estate firm
on the outside.
■-:o:
Tf reports of the tottering condition o fthe Carranza gov
ernment are correct it would appear that Carranza is resorting
to the threadbare device of arousing external trouble to divert
attention from conditions at home.
-:o:
Interest in the European war in financial circles at least
increases with each new loan floated here.
-:o:
Americans are making great records in the flying corps
of the French army. We still have some virile men.
