Whittlesey was chief clerk to Chief
Engineer C. M. Anderson at the time
the preliminary survey of the Alaska
Central railway was made in 1902,
landing at the present site of Seward
from the steamer Bertha, on July 13
of that year.

Drowned in Chignik Bay
Bred Barsto of Oakland. California,
who was connected with the company
owning the coal mines back of Chig
nik bay on the Alaska peninsula, and
a party by the name of Andrew Han
sen, were drowned in the surf be
tween Chignik and the P. P. & N.
cannery on the fifth day of May.
They were crossing the bay in a
small dory. At the place where they
desired to make a (landing it is ex
tremely dangerous, several persons
having met their fate there before.
About 5:00 p. m. of the date named
above the boat capsized and they
lost their lives. The bodies had not
been recovered up to the time that
the Dora sailed.
Own Vast Pumice Deposits
W. I. Warner and his son, E. Warn- j
er, arrived from the Westward on ^
the steamer Dora on Monday morn
ing, last. These gentlemen are in
terested in a pumice stone mine or
quarry, at Anchor Bay, near Chignik,
on the Alaska peninsula, about 800
miles vrest of Seward. They have
320 acres of this deposit which is
worth $160 per ton in the market.
Mr. Warner, Sr. will go south on
the Bertha, his destination being San
Francisco. He will return to Seward
and proceed to Anchor 'bay in July.
In the meantime his son will remain
here.
In the first six months of this fisca
year the value of copper ore shipped
from Alaska was $211,110, as against
$68,588 in the same months of the fis
cal year of 1904 and the January
shipments were $10,860, as against
$3,095 in the first month of last year.
This is regarded as a very signifi
cant development. Particularly is
this the case because nearly all the
work on copper properties is of a pre
liminary character. It is believed in
a very few years Alaska will be one
of the chief copper producing sec
tions of the world.
