other than it is expected work will
commence soon after July 1, at which
time it is expected the money appro

SEATTLR. May 24. — With a paid
up capitalization of $50,000 and au
thority to establish a chain of can
neries in Alaska, the Lars Mlkkelson
Fisheries Company has been issued
incorporation papers by Secretary of

of the incorporators, said the company

other details will not be worked out

“The time has now arrived for Alas
kans to secure needed capital for the
development of their properties
Never has copper been so high, and
never have the earnings of coppet
mines been so large as they are at
this time. New York city is literally
money mad. Here on the coast the
wave of prosperity has not yet ar
rived. We are, therefore, contemplat
ing opening an office in New York
City, through which we can float legiti
mate stock issues on worthy proper
ties. We expect to be kept reasonably
busy for the next year or two."
George Francis Rowe is a citizen
of Seattle, and a well known publicity
expert in Washington and Oregon. He
recently floated a stock issue sue
cessfully in Butte, Montana, the com
pany’s representative reporting sales
of over forty thousand dollars In six
weaks. The property advertised Is
located In the Coeur d'Alene district
of Idaho. He expects large returns in
New York city from the copper adver
