Brooks Says Government
Will Not Build Smelter
Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, who
is chairman of the Alaska
Advisory committee and al
so at the head of the United
States Geological survey, is
at present making an investi
gations on the coast, as a
member of the inter-depart
mental committee, to deter
mine the feasibility of smelt
ing copper ore within the ter
ritory. The chairman has
visited the coal and oil fields
of the Katalla district and is
now on a tour of Prince
William sound for the pur
pose of making a thorough
study of the copper resourc
es. Both the Kennecott and
Latouche districts will be in
vestigated and all the ele
ments entering into the suc
cessful operation of a smelt
er will be given careful con
sideration.
Brooks says that it was
not the idea of the committee
that the Government should
undertake the establishment
of a smelter in Alaska. He
is convinced that it would be
impossible to secure an ap
propriation for such an en
terprise. The investigation is
being made, he says, to de
termine the feasibility of a
smelter in Alaska, the plan
being to turn the data over
to anyone interested.
The results of the sum
mer’s work will be made the
subject of a report to be pub
lished at an early date and it
is the belief of Brooks that
private capital can be secured
to establish a commercial
smelter at some point on or
near the coast.

NEW OIL TANKER
TO SERVE KATALLA
Representing a unique ad
dition to the Alaska fleets, a
miniature bulk oil tanker,
built of wood for the Bering
River Coal company, of Ka
talla, was launched during
the week by Edward Heath,
shipbuilder, from the Tre
goning plant, Seattle. The
company owns oil properties
in the Katalla district and
will use the new vessel in
distributing fuel oil to cus
tomers in Cordova and other
ports on Prince William
sound.
Captain Ben Durkee went
to Seattle some time ago to
bring the new ship North
and probably will be ready
to set sail within a short
| time.
The tanker is only (55 feet
jlong, has a beam of 18 feet
and a molded depth of six
feet four inches. It will be
equipped with cargo tanks
[having a capacity of 12,000
!gallons and, in addition, she
twill carry 1,500 gallons in her
jfuel oil tanks for her own
|use. Besides the oil in the
jcargo, the craft will be able
to carry approximately 1,500
gallons in drums on deck.
Completed, the Jittle tank
er will represent an invest
ment of $35,000.

Tanana Comes And Goes;
Big Cargo For Nenana
The steamer Tanana was
in port yesterday from the
lower river, having arrived
from Gibbon at an early
hour in the morning with a
tow of two heavily laden
barges, most of the cargo be
ing consigned to the Alaskan
Engineering commission and
consisting of railroad mater
ial and general supplies.
The steamer started back
down river late in the after
noon to pick up a another
barge, which is just inside
the mouth of the river, in
deep water.
Considerable difficulty was
experienced in coming up the
river, owing the low stage of
the water and to changing
channels, the latter being a
very unpopular trait of the
Tanana river. The shifting
silt, which moves overnight
sometimes, gives navigators
no end of trouble, especially
toward the end of the season
when the nights are dark and
the water low, as is the case
just at present.
The cargo of the Tanana
included a large shipment of
bridge timbers.
The passengers arriving
on the Tanana were: Charles
Masse, J. W. Wilson, M. H.
Kirkpatrick, W. Galal, Jas.
A. York, B. Dawson, John
Maloney, John McHugh, M.
McLeod, James Byrnes, Thos
Clarke.
The barges landed in port
by the Tanana were the Ca
mille, with 12,000 kegs of
powder, and the Pete, with
bridge timbers. The barge at
the mouth of the river is the
Moose, with a lumber cargo.
Excursion Is Called Off;
Players Couldn’t Come
Efforts to induce the Fair
banks ball players to come to
Nenana for a two-game ser
ies on Sunday and Monday
having been un< i cessful,
plans for a Labor IX-v excur-j
sion from the upper town
have been called off. and the!
day probobly will be permit-!
ted to pass unobserved, as!
far as Nenana is concerned.!
Those responsible for the,
movement planned to make'
the day one of unusual inter-,
est to Interior Alaskans, but
it was deemed useless to at
tempt a celebration without
a bail game for a foundation.
The plans included a free!
train to and from the upper!
town, with a series of enter
tainments to occupy the time;
of the visitors during their i
stay in Nenana.
Earl Slippern went out the,
line this morning to do some'
building for the Healv River
Coal corporation. He expects!
to be out of town about a
month. —- -
William Taylor, the jewel

ger on this morning's train,
headed for big g*u»e
