ALL KINDS OF METALS IN
SAME SLUICE BOX TELL OF
GREAT MINERALIZATION
COPPER RIVER COUNTRY IN FOR GREAT MIN
ING REVIVAL BY REASON OF RECENT DIS
COVERIES WHICH ARE ATTRACTING OUT
SIDE CAPITAL, SAYS E. E. CHAMBERLIN.
With gold, silver, antimony and copper coming
down the same sluice box at the same time under the
nozzle of the same giant, there must be minerals in the
hills. That’s what has happened in the McCarthy dis
trict and in addition to tearing down the alluvial bench
es with water they are going after the source in the
hard rock with drill and powder with a whole-hearted
vim that means much for that entire area. Big Outside
money is sticking its nose into the game and a general
mining boom is coming up in the Copper River region.

MELON GETS MELON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. UP) —
Secretary Andrew Mellon received
$72,735 refund for over assessment
of income taxes for the year of
1926.
, These optimistic words are spo
i ken by Judge, Senator, Mayor, A1
! Chamberlin, now U. S. Commis
sioner at McCarthy, who is a visi
tor on his old stamping grounds
in Seward for a few days Cham
berlin was the second Territorial
senator from this district- He was
councilman and mayor of Seward
for several terms. He is thoroughly
convinced that Alaska is due for
a real mining boom right away. J
In fact, the preambles have al
ready been laid.
The biggest thing right now is,
he new antimony-gold strike in
the divide between Dan and Chit
itu Creeks on the John Barrett
property. The showing there has j
called in several mining engineers:
from the States, and it looks like ;
there will be big things doing. In
this vicinity, out 20 miles from Mc
Carthy on the Richardson High
way are the Nicolai interests and
Chititu Mines Company who have
just completed a very succesful
hydraulic season and where they
have enought ground in sight to
keep them going for 50 years. On
the Bremmer, 12 miles from Long!
Lake, the Ramer Bros., have open
ed up a big vein of high grade ore. j
There are also some fine placer j
showings on the Golconda, tri-1
butary of the Bremmer, and sever- !
al outfits are going in there to pro
spect this winter.
On the upper Chitina, the Harris
& Slipper properties are showing
big deposits of lead and silver
There is a fine landing field there
and the prospectors are traveling
back and forth by plane. The Gil
lam Airplane Company makes its
base at McCarthy and Copper Cen
ter and carries mail between Shu
shanna, Chitina, McCarthy, Cop
per Center, Cordova, and Valdez.
They never think of walking over
in that neck of the woods any
more. It’s altogether too slow. They
simply fly. Gillam is getting in
some new planes, and it wasn’t
Outside capital that started things.
It was local money and they are
still there with the bankroll.
The O. A. Nelson interests on
Copper Creek are adding new eq
uippment and will mine on an en- ;
larged scale.

. TROLLERS
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov., 25, (/P)
—The United States Court of Ap
peals reversed the Federal court
of Alaska which upheld the Ter
ritorial Legislature in imposing
a tax of $1.00 on resident trol
lers and $250 on non-resident
trollers.
The court held that the legis
lature’s tax is in direct conflict
with the Act of Congress and
held that the legislature at
tempted to destroy the rights
conferred by Congress on cities.
The decision was handed down
in the case of Wood Freeman of
Seattle who sued W. G. Smith,
treasurer of Alaska. The decision
affects at least 100 non-res
ident trollers.

Paris is endangered from the

the main portion of the city. The
city, however, is safe unless the
river rises to 40 inches. !
Belgium’s lowlands are not yet
covered by water but the Scheldt

SCIENTISTS ARE
WONDERING ABOUT
NEW ICE MONSTER
THIS SPECIMEN DIED MILLION
YEARS BEFORE ICE FORM
ED, TIS SAID
NEW YORK, Nov. 25, </P)—
Bernard Brown, curator of the
American Museum of Natural
History, has requested Dr. Bun
nell, president of the Alaska Col
lege, to investigate the carcass of
the strange creature the museum
has been informed of which was
found 10 days ago.
“So far as we know there were
no prehistoric creatures of this
dimension in Alaska,” said Prof
essor Brown’s dispatch. “If the
creature was incased in ice it
must have lived when the ice
formed. Prehistoric animals in •
Alaska, as far as is known, were
mammoth buffa1© and many
small creatures none of which
reached the dimentions of the li
sard. like the description of the
m mal just found. The descrip
ion suggests * reptile similar to
a dinosaur but they died millions
of years before when the ice was
first formed. The only other pos
sibility is that it may be a marine
creature like the whale.”
CORDOVA. Nov., 25. ^—Re
ports here confirmed the finding
of a perfectly preserved body of
a strange prehistoric creature of
an amphibian specie, in a glacier
on an island near Valdez.
The creature is believed to
have been entombed for centur
ies on the upper reaches of Col
umbia glacier which is gradually
working toward the sea.
Encased in ice, it was washed
ashore on the island. It resem
bles a lizard and it’s body is 20
feet long and its tail. 16 feet. The
creature is covered with fur
which seems to be in perfect con
dition. The fur is blood red in
color.
