Col. A. M. Dcwoy, trustee for the In
vestors in the new Lukina Copper
mines, near Strelna, is very optomis
tic ns to the future of this section of
Alaska. His company is getting
ready to ship high grade copper ore
from the Lakinaw mines to the smel
ters at Tacoma. The ore Is to be
hauled with motor trucks from the
mines to the Copper River Railway at
Long Lake station, whence it will be
shipped by rail and steamship to Taco
ma. It is announced that shipments
will commence in October of this
year.
In an interview published in the
Seattle Times Col. Dewey says:
“Seattle residents do not appear to re
alize the importance to this city of
the great activities of the Guggenheim
Morgan interests in Alaska and at the
smelters in Tacoma. Advices I have
received within the last week from
Cordova contain the information that
at least $2,000,000 worth of copper is
passing through that port every four
weeks, or as much twenty-five or
thirty millions a year from the Ken
necott district alone.
"One thousand tons of copper ore,
valued at not less than $1,500,000, was
received at Tacoma from Alaska dur
ing the past week. The capacity of
the Tacoma smelters are to be doubled
at once. And the increased business
in sight justifies the expenditure.
“Another thing which Seattle people
ought to consider and tvhich appears
to me to have been overlooked, is
this: With the great mineral re
sources of Alaska as the foundation,
this city should become the center of
the mining industry of the Northwest.
r1
Much of (he wealth of this city has
been realized from mines in Alaska.
Government engineers have pronounc
ed the Copper River country to con
tain enormous exposed bodies of the
richest copper ore in the world, and it
is from this district that the two
millions or more each month Is new
being shipped."

VALDEZ CIUNCIL TRIES
TO CORRAL WHARFAGE
The \ aldez city council has passed
an ordinance providing for the ap
pointment of a wharf master and that
no ships or boats of any kind can land
at any other wharf or dock except
that owned by the city unless this
wharf master gives his consent. The
ordinance is due to the fact that the
council wants to put the Valdez

ing at any other wharf without per
mission may be hauled through the
streets.
