The old Cymru Copper mine,
belter known us the North Arm
Mine situated at the head of
the North Arm of Maori Sound
has taken a new lease of life
and will become an active pro
ducing property at once. This
mine which has stood idle on
account of litigation among
the stockholders since 1001
has been bonded to a local
-lock company formed by
George Y. Bland, Mm. P.
Powers and otlcr- and which
will start work at once. Mr.
Bland returned from the south
this morning on the Spokane
and when seen by our repre
senative said “Tim mine which
was a good producer has been
bonded by the owners through
o trustee to our company and
we will start active operations
next week. The mine was an
active producer in 11>00 when
I il shipped 3,000 tons of copper
ore to the smelter which gave
returns running lour and one
half per cent copper with a
value of $1-25 per ton in gold
and silver. TU’ mine has
been lied up in litigation since
that time with Ihe exception of
a short time in 1907 when
some work was done but with- ,
out results. The property is ,
fully epuipped with a two drill
Fairbanks Morse Compressor
plant, 4,200 feet of surface
tram and large bunkers. The
development work consists of
one shaft 105 feet in depth

of the work has been mostly
surface work. The new com
pany expects to push develop
ment work very rapidly and \
will make their first shipment j

Bland will have charge of the i
operations of Ihe property and

FIGHT THE ALASKA RAILROAD BILL
Washington, Jan 10—The
debate on the Alaska Railroad
hill continues the big event oT
congressional life in this city,
and never before was the north
ern empire held so steadily in
the limelight. Senator Walsh
completed his two day speech
in favor of the bill last night,
and today Senator Meyer lias
I he floor. It is understood that
those opposing the bill arc
laying great stress on Rear
Admiral iflriffin’s-'report that
the coal from the Bering
river failed to come tip lo gov
ernment requirements for
naval use and is useless. As
one of the stock arguments in
favor of the railroad has been
Ihe need of the road to insure
a supply of coal on the Pacific
coast for the navy. Admiral
Griffith’s adverse report is re
garded as a severe blow to the
measure, but in spite of if the
supporters of the bill contend
I hat they will have no difficul
ty putting it through within
the next week or ten days.
