IS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER FUTURE
CORDOVA
Dr. W. 0. Cassels who loft on yes
terday's train for Fairbanks, expects
to shortly return to Cordova and may
locate here. At least as much was in
ferred from the remarks he made
while in town. For the past two years
the doctor has been tavellng in Eu
oope. and this is the second time he
has left Alaska to practice outside hut
the "call of the north” has proven too
much for him and he simply can't stay
away.
While In Cordova Dr. Cassels re
marked that if he was looking for a
(own In which to invest he would cer
tainly go no further. "There is no
place In Alaska that has a brighter
future than Cordova," said he. "You
have the natural resources and It’s
only a question of a short time before
you will be enjoying some of the much
looked for and long delayed pros
perity. But it is bound to come and It
may be sooner than you expect.”
The doctor was in Belgium when the
war broke out. and later in England.
Describing some of the conditions, he
said:
"What made the deepest impression
upon me were the scenes attending
the mobilization. Men returned from
their work the night before and in the
moning found flaming posters calling
them to the colors.
"Hundreds responded at once with
out seeing their families or women
folks. Perhps a neighbor would lead
children by the hand to get a last
glimpse of papa at the railroad sta
tion. or perhaps the message, too
often the last message ever received,
would be sent by friends or tele
phoned.
"The people seemed dazed, espe
cially the women folks. They won
dered what they were going to do and
could not seem to grasp the fact that
that dear ones were already lost to
them. The roads and railway stations
were filled with men on their way to
report for duty. Here and there one
could see detached details of the
breaking of home ties which brought
forcibly home the horrors of war even
before the actual fighting was under
way.
"I do not care to see another mibll
ization for warfare. One might natur
ally suppose a physician was used to
most anything, but I must confess 1
am not proof against such scenes.”

WANTS TO CELEBRATE
IN NAME OF ALASKA
The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce has unanim
ously adopted a resolution endorsing
the proposed celebration of the semi
centennial of the purchase or Alaska.
The resolution says:
“The anniversary of the purchase of
Alaska shopld be fittingly observed by
a celebration in Seattle and through
out Alaska and it is the sense that
this organization take immediate steps
to carry the idea into effect.
“The celebration Bhould be truly
Alaskan and national in character.
“The government at Wasmngton
through executive and legtstative
branches shall be asked to participate
and visit the territory.
"A special invitation shall be ex
tended to the President of the united
States to head the party visiting the
Northland In order that there may be
the fullest co-operation in all parts of
the national government respecting
Alaskan problems, as well as with
Alaska cities and the secretaries of
government bureaus.
“A representative of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce will be sent to
Alaska and ascertain the wishes or all
the cities and communities and invite
their hearty co-operation.
“Seattle can most fittingly plan
several weeks of festivities, the de
parture for a governmental party to
tour the Northland and the dedication
of a permanent Alaskan exhibit here,
which should be made the culminating
feature of the fair.”

BUSCH'S DEATH
KEENLY SHOCKS FRIENDS
The suicide In Beattie of C. H.
Buschmann, general manager of the
Northwestern Fisheries company’s 12
or 16 salmon canneries in Alaska,
caused a deep shock to the scores of
friends of the dead man residing here,
and the generally accepted cause for
his act is Ill-health from which ne was
known to have been suffering. The
funeral will be held In Seattle. ^
Buschman was 36 years of age and
a high strung fellow, who had too
much responsibility on his slender
shoulders, according to Judge John ft.
Winn, his lawyer and closest friend
here. ‘‘I am of the opinion that over
work caused his breakdown,” Judge
Winn said tills morning. The latter
had Just received a letter from Mr.
Buschmann, however. In which there
was nothing that might be taken to
indicate the writer's spirit was any
thing but good.
Among other duties, Mr. Buschmann
every year directed me outfitting of
his company’s canneries In Alaska,
saw to the production of the packs,
and looked after the financial details.
He had offices in Seattle, and em
ployed n half dozen clerks. 8inee the
denth of his father several years ago
Mr. Buschmann has taken care of his
mother, has educated and cared for
one sister, put one of his brothers
through one of the best medical
schools in Philadelphia, and started
his brother August Buschmann tn the
cannery business at Cape Edward,
near Sitka. Mr. Buschmann's salary
as manager of the Northwestern Fish
eries was $12,000 a year. He was a
clerk In the office of Capt. Jarvis who
ended his life in the Arctic Club four
years ago, and was promoted to his
position at that time.
Mr. Buschmann was unmarried. He
belonged to several fraternal orders,
and was a member of the Arctic Club,
Seattle.—Juneau Fmnire

ALASKAN WOMAN
GETS IN PAPERS
Anna Drukee, organizer and con
trolling element of a milliondonar
Alaska gorporation run entirely by
women, la given considerable mention
in the May number of “Sunset" in an
article, "Lovely Women at the imposi
tion," written by Frances A. Groff.
Of Miss Durkee and her Wrangell
garnet mine, the writer says:
“A most interesting woman in the
Varied Industries Building is Miss
Anna Durkee, secretary, general man
ager and controlling stockholder of
the Alaska Garnet Mining & Manufac
turing Company. Going to Alaska
seven years ago to Investigate a prop
osition in copper, she heard of a gar
net mine nine miles from Wrangell, at
the mouth of the Stlckine River. She
looked it over, liked it, went home
and interested fifteen of her women
friends in it. Starting with one claim,
they now own a mountain and have a
million-dollar corporation entirely offi
cered by women. Miss I>ottie M.
Crafts, for twenty five years librarian
of the Minnesota University, being
president, heir camp, situated in a
romantic spot, a favorite haunt for
artists and sportsmen, has model Cook
ployes. These women own the only
deposit of almandine, or garnets in
place in this country. They are more
valuable than the Bohemian gem, nut
Miss Durkee says the greatest value
of their mountain consists In a by
product of garnet-waste, which she
discovered "by accident,” the only way
women ever discover things by the
way said a radio-therapeutic gentleman
In Liberal Arts Building, Mme. Curie
discovered radium. Miss Durkee’s ac
cidental discovery came while she was
working with a chemist. She noticed
hat garnets, when melted, did not |
'use with iron or brass, and following
his up, found a new use for the waste :
?arnet, of which they had hundreds (
if thousands of tons. Ground to a cer
ain mesh, put through a certain
secret process, with certain special
nachinery, the waste garnet mattes a
valuable separating powder or parting
compound, for use in foundry work. ✓
"This parting compound, which Miss
iurkee has patented, takes the place
>f lycopodium, an importation from
Russia, s- d can be produced at a
nuch sn lk-r cost. The composition
)f Miss Durkee’s parting compound is
ibout 20 per cent alumina, 45 per cent
protoxide of iron and 35 per cent
■alicia. Whenever the garnet company
can employ women it does so, and
Miss Emily Williams was architect for j
he booth, and Miss Balmer designer;
for the electroliers.’'

"tt will be all grade work this sum
meifnnd when snow flies we will com
mence the rock work, keeping on full
crews where possible,” Chairman
Edes of the Alaska Engineering Com
mission, who went through Cordova to
Anchorage, on yesterdayl* steamer,
is credited with saying.
“I don’t know how mucn work has
been accomplished yet, but we have
two and a half million dollars to spend
before the 1st of July, 1916. i expect
we will get about half way to Matan
uska this summer. That is about 30
miles,” he continued.
When questioned about labor condl
tions, Mr. Edes said: ”1 don’t know
anything about conditions up there ex
cept what I have read In the Seattle
papers, although T understand there
are large numbers rushing in there
without any prospects of work. T do
not think wo will employ over 600 1
men at the very most this summer,
and maybe not that many.”
Mr. Edes stated that the Alaska
Northern out of Seward will bo put in
shape for about 30 miles out «r Seward
and the gasoline car would be oper
ated by the commission during the
summer.
"Mr. Higgs’ party,” he continued,
‘will work from Fairbanks out along
Hold Creek to Flroad Pass, then down
the Susltna river to Cooks Inlet. The
route through that, section has not
been definitely settled yet.”
