INTERIOR EXCURSION
TO BE RUN JULY 3
(From Cordova Daily Alaskan.)
The committee having in charge
the Fourth of July celebration had
a conference with Superintendent
Geiger In reference to the running
of an excursion from Chitina on that
day. As a result the company has
made a very liberal proposition which
meets with the approval of all con
cerned, and should result in bringing
a big crowd from out the line to Cor
dova to participate in and enjoy the
program that will be arranged for
their entertainment. Supt. Geiger
agreed to run a special, leaving Chiti
na on July 3 at 10 a. m., and return
ing leaving here on the morning of
July 5. The fare was fixed at |10
for the round trip, which is a very
low rate. There will also be one
fare for the round trip from Kenne
cott to Chitina, connecting with the
train for Cordova.
Under this arrangement the com
mittee appointed to solicit funds for
the sports has gotten busy and, al
though their work is far from com
pleted, a substantial sum has been
raised and from present indications
sufficient money will be available for
an old-time celebration.
President Blum has called a ape
cial meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce to be held at 8:30 o’clock to
night for the purpose of hearing the
report of the Fourth of July commit
tee and proceeding with whatever is
necessary to do in order that the
holiday may be fittingly observed
and this fact properly advertised
throughout the Copper river coun
try.
SINGING GILMORE'S PRAISES
The Republican committee of the
Second division of Alaska has adopt
ed a campaign song, which was com
posed at Nome, and uedicated to
William A. Gilmore, candidate for
delegate to Congress. It is sung to
the tune of “Won’t You Take Me
inere,” and is as follows:
Campaign Song
The campaign now is open, how the
Republican guns do roar,
There’s no split in the paTty as in the
days of yore,
We want to send our delegate to
Washington this year,
And the halls of Congress his voice
-aey’ll surely hear.
We want to beat the Democrats and
all the rest galore.
And snow them so far under that
they’ll never show up more.
CHORUS
Won’t we send him there,
Won’t we send him tnere.
Won’t you send him on to Washing
ton?
Then there’ll be surely something
done,
Won't we send him there.
He'll make good, that we'll swear,
In Congress he’ll be heard,
Take that on your word.
You bet we'll send him there.
(2)
We’ll yell the party slogan, we’ll yell
i from mountain height,
Alaska for Alaskans, we only want
what’s right.
From Point Barrow to the Aleutians,
from Cape Fox to Prince of
Wales,
Well s:ng it down the Yukon and
along the frozen trails,
Through our half million miles of
space with lustry throats and
strong ;
For territorial government we’ll sing
both loud and long.
CHORUS—
(3)
We’re fifty thousand pioneers, who’ve
too long been forgot,
We’re tired of being overlooked and
left behind to rot,
We want the road tax law repealed,
more lights for our long coast;
We want the right to mine our coal,
but what we want the most
Is an Uncle Sam built railroad from
the sea to the Yukon,
No watered stock, no mortgage bond,
nor corporate bull con.
CHORUS—
(4)
There’s plenty of other things we
want, and Gilmore’ll get them
too.
No carpet baggers need apply when
we’ve elected you,
So get in boys and whoop her up,
we've got them on the run,
We’ll land our man in Congress and
then you’ll see some fun.
He knows just what Alaska needs,
he’s loyal to the core,
So get in boys and whoop her up for
William A. Gilmore.
CHORUS—
ASSAYS FROM OUTCROPPING
AT MILE 109 RUN HIGH
The American Mining Company
have finished their first hundred feet
of tunnel on the Sellars property at;
Mile 109. They expect to strike the
ledge which they are driving for in
the next twenty feet. The mouth of
the tunnel is only 600 feet from the
railroad. Some of the assays on ore
taken from the outcrop ran over
$1,000 to the ton.

New Platform at Mile 55
Vice President Baxter, of the Cop
per River Railway, has ordered a
platform put in at Mile 55 to accom
modate the saltery which has been
established there. Arrangements
have also been made to give a daily
service in hauling fish to the plant.
Mill Drive Big Tunnel
The Hubbard-Elliott mine on El
liott creek has twelve men working.
They intend to drive over 800 feet
of tunnel this year. Mr Elliott says
that hlngs never looked so good up
there and prospects of developing a
big mine are excellent.

ORE IS GETTING BETTER
AT NORTH STAR MINE
Ed Rodee, working on the North
Star mine at Mile 53, has reached
200 feet on his tunnel. The ore has
improved considerable in the last
feet and he is very confident that
he has a winner. The mouth of the
tunnel is directly over a snowshed at
Mile 53 on the railroad, and the
mine, therefore, would be very eco
nomical to work.

BIG HEMMATITE DEPOSIT
FOUND AT KOTSINA
A large deposit of hemmatite has
been located in the ivotsina by Pat
rick Murphy. R. J. Barry received
a sack of samples on last night’s
train. The ore appears to be of ex
cellent quality. Hemmatite is the
mineral which produces the finest
qualities of steel. There is not a
single hemmatite mine on the Pa
cific coast, which is responsible for
the absence of any large steel works
in the west.

FUCKER OF OLD
CANDLE PASSES AWAY
A new system is about to be start'
ed at Treadwell with its purpose the
elimination of the use of candles bj
the underground men of all the
Treadwell mines. It is proposed to
use small lamps, the lamps being
filled in the upper compartment with
water and in the lower part with
calcium carbide, the action of the
water dropping on the carbide form
ing acetylene gas which is lit and
the light transmitted through a re
flector. <!
At the present time ten boxes, of
2,240 candles, are used every day by
the miners. Each miner is furnish
ed with an average of three and one
half candles by the Treadwell com
pany. As the candles cost on an
average of $3.25 a box, the bill for
candles runs up to a very consider
able sum in the course of a year. The
candles are very dirty and do not
furnish as good a light as the acety
lene lamps and there is more waste
to them on account of short ends,
and the candles that are taken home.
The new light is used in connec
tion with a cap made specially for
carrying the lamp. The men will
buy the caps and the lamps which
will cost them $1.25 for both, and
the company will furnish the car
inde. A concrete house is is now be
ing built at Treadwell to store the
carbide in. Enough carbide will be
taken by the men when they go on
a shift to last two and a half hours,
and a little can that can be screwed
into the bottom of the lamp will car
ry enough to last them until noon,
when they receive full cans again.
The little lamps are being intro
duced gradually into the mines, the
foremen, shift bosses and some of
tne stope bosses now using them.
They are light to carry on the cap
and give a soft, bright light, and in
every way give the best of satisfac
tion. A pound of carbide costs less
than six cents and a half-pound will
last a miner all day, so the saving
will be considerable.
This light is replacing candles all
over the country and is proving su
perior in every respect.

DAX RICE INTERESTED
IX NEW MIXING COMPANY
The Primrose Mining Company, of
Seward, has perfected an organiza
tion by electing the following offi
cers: L. V. Ray, president; Herbert
Tozier, vice president and general
manager; A. C. Gould, treasurer, and
Charles E. Tecklenberg, secretary.
These officers, with Dan Rice, of
Cordova, form the board of direct
ors. The company is industriously
engaged in installing a stamp mill at
the mine, is in good shape financial
ly and will soon be producing gold
bullion.
Dan Rice, who developed the prop
erty, which was taken over by this
company, is now in Seattle attending
a trial as a witness. He will return
to Seward as soon as possible to begin
development on a claim in the near
v’cinity.
GULKANA SEEKS COPPER
CENTER COMMISSIOXERSH1P
A petition has been circulated on
Slate creek and signed without an
exception, asking the district court
to remove the commissioner’s office
from Copper Center to Gulkana, and
asking that C. K. Hoyt be appointed
commissioner. The petition recites
that Gulkana is the junction of the
Fairbanks-Valdez trail, the Eagle
and Slate creek trails, the trail to
Valdez creek and is more central and
convenient to the majority of the
people operating in the district than
Copper Center.

Col. Wr P. Richardson left Valdez
yesterday on the transport Sheridan
for Nome, where he goes to look over
road matters in the northern dis
trict. After completing his labors on
Seward peninsula, Col. Richardson

#:tO,0O<) DOCK AT GYI’SIM
FALLS INTO THE BAY
The Pacific Coast Gypsum Compa
ny’s wharf at Gypsum collapsed, de
positing the bunkers, with their con
tents. into the bay.
While the loss from the collapse
of the dock itself amounts to about
$30,000. the far greater loss is from
the necessary closing down of the
mine, and consequently, of the plant
at Tacoma.
Above the dock a structure forty
five feet high was erected, which
contained the bunkers in which the
gypsum was stored. This structure,
of course, is also a total wreck.
The Pacific Coast Gypsum Com
pany is perhaps one of the least
known in Alaska, but one of the
most substantial. Its stock has nev
er been known on the market, and
for this reason it has never received
any advertising.
