KENNECOTT MINES
SEWARD VISITOR GATHERS EX

TOOK IN THE GUGGIE CAMP
Much Interest Created During the
Inspection of Mills In the
Kennecott Region.
F. P. Roper, Lodi Sentinel publish
er and scribe extra-ordinary, who
passed thru Seward recently, in his
series of articles of impressions gain
ed during his Aaska journey has the
folowing to say about Kennecott, the
camp at the end of the Copper Riv-'
er & Northwestern railroad:
Strelna, July 24.
Today wTe visited the Kennecott
copper mines, the largest in the
world. The train stopped an hour to
let us inspect the mill of the Bon
anza, Jumbo and Mother Lode mines.
We found this inspection very inter
esting. The ore is brought to the
mill, a distance of about four miles,
by tramways, crossing ravines 300
feet deep and going right down the
moutain side. The loaded buckets
pull up the empties and create enough
extra power to run a dynamo. The
electricity is used to run an auto
matic breaking machine winch regu
lates the speed of the cables. It
takes 45 minutes for one of the buck
ets to travel the distance from the
mill to the mines. Bach of these
buckets carries 700 pounds of ore
Get This
Point, It’s
Important
—the point of a Parker & Duofold
is made of genuine ff native
Tasmanian Iridium which costs
over three times as / / much as the
iridium used in / / ordinary
fountain pen / / points. That’s
why the Parker If Duofold is
called the 25- fj year point.
That’s why it ffl is the cheapest
pen on earth /£[ at $7 —because its
usefulness tgy is everlasting.

Ask To See It At
ORLANDER, the Jeweler
and one arrives each minute from
the different tramways. The com
pany employes 750 men and brings
in 24,000 tons of ore to the mill
each year.
There are two grades of ore now
being milled. The high grade, which
runs from 60 to 70 per cent pure cop
per, is run through crushers, sacked
and shipped in its native state, while
the low grade, which runs from 6 to
8 pr cent copper, is concentrated at
the mill. This requires a long pro
cess, but with improved machinery
they manage to* take out practically
all the copper. Formerly they were
getting it all but one per cent, but
now by' the use of a chemical pro
cess they are recovering 95 per cent
of the one per cent that formerly
was wasted. The reason of trying
to get all the copper is on account
of the high cost of transportation.
The concentrates and the native high
grade copper ore are shipped to the
big smelter at Tacoma, where it
is mixed with iron ore, which acts
as a slag in making pure capper.
This company also produces its own
iron ore used for this purpose.
The company is now producing four
and a half million pounds of pure
copper monthly. Trains hauling the
ore run to Cordova from two to three
times each week, carrying about 500
tons each trip.

regular haunts.
A peculiar accdent occurred the

the popular brakeman on the pas

at a flock of ducks. As the acci

barrel dropped off, just prior to the
