Late Telegraph News
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—Dr. Emi
Krulish, of the U. S. public healtl
and marine hospital service, ha
given information regarding Alaskai
Indians, with reference to diseasi
and sanitary problems that is almos
entirely in consonance with report;
of recent years. He finds tubercu
losis to be the disease most preva
lent, 7.9 pej cent, of the Indian:
examined being affected, in one vil
lage 13.9 per cent. Most of the forms
not pulmonary, but also of bone
gland and joint, are in evidence
There is consequently much infec
tious abscess formation, much de
formity, and much crippling, anc
there are not a few cases of Pott's
disease, with complete paralysis oi
the lower extremities from pressure
on the spinal cord in the region oi
the diseased bone.
"The reasons for such ravages,"
ears the New York Medical Journal,
"ere that tuberculosis is a compara
tively new infection among Indians,
bestowed upon them by the benevo
lent paleface along with firewater
and certain other bler-sings of civ
ilisation. Then there are the over
crowding and the insanitary condi
tions prevailing in most of the
homes of tuberculosis sufferers,
v bile at least this much good arises
from their misfortune, that after the
disease is fairly well developed in
them its progress, unless they are
well cared for. is rapid, and death
removes what would "'otherwise re
main a menacing focus of infection.
‘‘Dr. Krulish explains the health
work of the Alaskan bureau of edu
cation—how that bureau is strug
gling. with resources altogether
inadequate, to prevent the excessive
mortality among this unfortunate
people, which is now, from tubercu
losis alone, from 41 to 47 per
thousand.”

Sumner S. Smith, mining inspector
for Alaska returned on Saturday
from a trip to the. camps contiguous
to the railroad. He went out as far
as Kennecott and from McCarthy
went over the Nizina to the' Dan
creek and Chittitu districts. He re
ports that both Mr. Birch and Mr.
Esterley are washing a lot of good
paying dirt this season, and that
their clean-ups will be. exceptionally
large. Coming back he went up the
Kuskulina and inspected the vari
ous operations in copper mining in
that district. The assessment w-ork
was being done on the property of
the Great Northern Development Co.
by John Amber, Ole Berg and other
old timers.
-o—o—o
When Stephen Birch recently re
turned to Seattle after his sojourn
in this section of Alaska, he talked
freely of the copper conditions and
the operations of 'the companies in
which he is interested. Before leav
ing for New- York, in-discussing the
effect of the war in reducing the cop
per output Mr. Birch said:
“We can mine copper at the pres
ent price by choosing the high-grade
ores and allowing the lesser grades
to lie on the dumps until such time
as Alaska coal shall be available and
it will be possible to establish a
smelter in Alaska. When that is
done we will be able to make cop
per as cheaply in Alaska as in any
other country. Our present diffi
culty is that the lower-grade ores
must be concentrated, a process in
which there is always a loss, and
the concentrates must be transported
to Puget Sound for reduction. The
higher-grade ores are shipped with
out concentration.
“Extensive development of the
syndicate’s property at the famous
Bonanza and Jumbo mines at Ken
necott is going ahead uninterrupted
and no layoff or cessation of work
is contemplated at either property.
An extensive tramway is now under
construction at the Jumbo property
of the Kennecott Mines Company,
controlled by the Morgan-Guggen
heim people, which will permit of
nearly double the shipments of ore
now handled. The mine is at the
terminus of the Copper River rail
way, which is approximately a mile
from the company’s mill. An im
mense concentrator is now being in
stalled at Latouche Island, where
the ores^ will be crushed. This will
enable us materially to increase the
output. When these improvements
are completed the output of copper
from the Prince William Sound
region will be. ^increased about 60
per cent. Other development plans
are under consideration.”
Besides his connection with the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate Mr.
Birch is a director of the North
western Commercial Co., Northwest
ern Steamship Co., Northwestern
Fisheries Co., Copper River & North
western Railway Co., Katalla Com
pany and is general manager and
director of the Kennecctt Mines
Company.
