CORDOVA
The seaport through which all the copper and gold
ore deposits of interior Alaska must pass to reach the
markets of the world.
The largest salmon canning center in Southwestern
Alaska, with five salmon canneries in operation.
The natural outlet for the coal of the Bering river
coal fields; where the copper ore of the interior and of
; Prince William Sound points will be reduced when the
coal is made available.
The nearest practicable harbor to the oil fields of
Katalla.
The seat of the only clam canning industry in
Alaska.
Cordova has no indebtedness, and the lowest tax rate
of any city in the territory.
CORDOVA
Has the best harbor north of Puget Sound; ideally
created topographically for a naval station.
Has more natural beauty in its location and sur
roundings than any other city in Alaska.
Has doubled its population the past year through an
influx of permanent residents, brought here by the estab
lishment of new industries.
Has a modern, broad-gague railroad tapping the rich
copper deposits of the Kotsina-Chitina copper belt.
Has the largest dock in Alaska, taxed to its capacity
to handle the millions of pounds of copper and thousands
of cases of canned fish being shipped from here monthly.
Has seven passenger and six freight steamships
making regular trips between it and Puget Sound points,
besides numerous tramp vessels.
Has the best lighted streets in Alaska, lined with
modern business blocks.
Has two navy wireless stations, one of which is equal
in power to any in the United States, and cable connection
with Seattle.
Has every line of business and profession well repre
sented.
Has a $10,000 school building, where high school
i
grades are taught; four churches, four modern hotels,
good restaurants, telephone, electric lights, waterworks
and sewers.
Has splendid facilities for the sportsman; wild fowl
and game fish are abundant, while a short trip on the
railroad brings the hunter within easy reach of bear,
mountain goat and sheep, moose and caribou.
Has for the sightseer and tourist the greatest natu
ral wonders in the world, the Childs and Miles glaciers.
Cordova today is on a more permanent' basis than
any other city in Alaska; is assured of continued prosper
ity and a steady growth, due to the progressive develop
ment which its natural resources are now undergoing.
When the coal of the Bering river fields, now but 25
miles from the present railroad, becomes available, smelt
' i
ers will be erected here, and Cordova will become the
Butte of the North.

dustries and resources of Cordova and vicinity, the oppor
tunity for investment and employment here, and descrip
tive literature, write ~ z' ■*.
