White Rirer Region
Is Vast Copper Vault
Says “Ninety-Eighter”
The world need not fear of shortage
of copper for there is sufficient cop
per ore in the White River country
for a million years, stated A. Bloom
er, Shushanna mining man, who was
a visitor in Seward this week. Mr.
Bloomer is a pioneer from the vint
age of 1S9S and has made all camps
from Ketchikan to Nome since that
time, and is still going strong re
gardless of “old man age’’ slowly
creeping upon him.
And speaking of fox, Mr. Bloomer

“haven’t seen anything yet.” Fox of
all kinds, silvers, black, cross and
some red, but mostly silvers, fairly
overrun the White river country and
the few trappers who have trap lines
out, are “knockin’ ’em dead.”
Mr. Bloomer and his partner are
carrying on a little digging in the dis
trict but expect to clean up by July
and move their outfit towards Valdez,
where they previously prospected on
a creek and discovered good paying
placer ground. They have been locat
ed in the Shushanna region for the
last five years. His partner, 3\4ike John
son, returned last week from a trip
down to Pasadena. Mr. Bloomer left
Seward on the Victoria, bound for Val
dez, where they will outfit and take
in their dog team to the camp.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis, who have been
in the Shushanna district for some
years past, have been spending the
! w inter in California and are return
! ing in the spring. Their claims are
lookig up very good.
Special attention given to cleaning
and pressing of women’s clothes.

Word has been received at Cordova
from Seattle that George C. Hazelet

publication.
William Quitsch came in to Val

mine on Mineral creek, and will
leave soon for Galena Bay to get
the cable for the aerial tram to be
' installed at the mine.
Louis Lagoric, mail carrier be
tween Dawson and Vliller and Gla
cier creeks, left the former place
Christmas morning and has not been
seen since. As it is a wind-swept
trail he would have to travel, it is
feared he has ben lost. Searching
parties from Dawson failed to find
any trace of him.
When Vice-President and Manager
Nunan of the New England Fish
Company, was in Juneau three wreeks
it was for the purpose of investigat
ing the inducements offered here for
the opening of a branch fish-buying
industry and so favorable was the
outlook that he wras, since returning
to Ketchikan, decided to establish a
branch house there which wTill be
done within the near future.
An increase in mining activity
which in instances will develop into
large scale operations in the near
future is prevalent along the Yukon
and Tanana, say travelers arriving
from the lower river. Ruby is the
scene of much development^ work
this winter, Mason creek is bearing
extensive prospecting and prepara
tions are under wray for heavy wrork
in the Hot Springs district next sum
mer.
Merl La Voy, movie photographer,
who is in Alaska in the interests
of the Fox Film corporation, left
Nenana this morning for Point Hope,

shoot scenes for an Arctic feature

his company. Mr. La Voy has a
pretty string of dogs and has with
him as his trail assistant Arthur Ke
hoe of Nenana.
Construction of two warehouses

ningham plans to fence a quarter of
an acreplot In the interior, possibly
near Strelna, and keep his prime fox
es there several months before they
are killed. He believes that taking
them to a cold, dry place will greatly
improve the quality of furs and put
them on an equal basis with inter
ior foxes. While the animals breed 1
rapidly on the island, Mr. Cunning- '
ham thinks the transfer to pens of
his best foxes will greatly improve
them.

FOUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1< The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old age
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that^ou
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com*
mitting you to any action.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains,
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development o'
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
