oft reported steamer Senator arriv

via Suiter, where she will take on
& shipment of copper ore from the
Jumbo Mine. She took the follow
ing passengers from Ketchikan: H.
W. Weber and wife, Mrs. V. J.
Groves and Junita Collins for Ta
coma, Sam Anderson, J. E. Ander

ELLAMAR COPPER DISTRICT,
ALASKA
In these days of rapid consumption
of copper in the manufacture of
munitions of war, and the conse
quent high price of that metal,
special interest attaches to any
discussion of our national supply of
copper. During the last 15 years
the Prince William Sound reigon,
Alaska, has become an important
copper-producing district, and the
number of productive mines there is
constantly increasing. The Ellamar
district, a part of this region, has
been the scene ofactive mining since,
1900, and in order that accurate in-*
formation conceiving this area
should be - available to the public
the United States Geological Sur
vey has recently prepared and pub
lished a detailed report on it. This
report contains excellent topo
graohic and geological maps, on a
scale of one inch to the mile
and is illustrated by numerous
plates and figures. The discussion
of the history of the district and
the description of the geography
are of interest to the iay reader;
the treatment of the areal and
structural geology and t^te discus
sion of their bearing on the distri
bution of the ore deposits, as well
as the description of the mines and
prospects, are more technical.
The geology of the Prince Wil
liam Sound region is highly com
plex, and the attempt to read the
geological history of this part of
America from the rock formations
as they now appear encounter.
many difficulties. The almost
complete absence of life in the
Alaskan oceans during the period
of deposition of many thousands of
feet of sediments has left the rocks
practically devoid of fossils, which
are so valuable in determining the
age of rocks. Nevertheless the suc
cession of the rock formations at
Ellamar has been determined, and
their determination should aid in
deciphering the geology of other
parts of Prince William Sound.
Some new conclusions have also
been reached concerning the origin j
of che Ellamar copper deposits.
The report, which is entitled “The j
Ellamar district, Alaska,” by S. R.
Capps and B. L. Johnson, is pub-!
lished as Bulletin 605 of the United {
States Geological Survey and may
be obtained free by applying to
the Directors.
REDWING MINE TO RESUME
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Anderson
were passengers on the steamer
Senator this morning for the West
Coast of Prince of Wales. Mrs.
Anderson, formerly Mrs. Wyman,
has recently i regained . control of
her property at Copper City, the
Redwing Mine, and is preparing to
put it back on the producing list.
It is too late to do much this
winter except the assessment work
and repairs to the dock and plant,
but will have everything in readi
ness for an early start int>K
spring.

DRILL STRUCK WOOD
AT 1,900 FEET
One of the first deep wells drilled
in the West was put down near
Huxley, Nev., by the Central-Pacific
Railway in 1881, in a search for
good water. The boring reached a
depth of 2,750 feet, but the water
obtained was of very unsatisfactory
quality. At 1,700 feet the drill en
countered a bed of “petrified clams ’
and the record states that 1,900 feet
well-preserved “redwood timber'’ was
found. (Overland Guidebook, U. Geo

LONDON DECLARES NEW
GERMAN GUNS FAULTY
LONDON, Dec. 8—The blockade
of Germany by the British subma
rines in the Baltic has finally put
an end to the export of high class
Swedish ore indispensible to the
manufacture of guns, and it has
been reported from the front that
the new German artillery is not
up to the Krupp standard of ex
cellence.
That the Germans themselves are
painfully aware of this fact is
shown by a recent order issued by
the minister of war forbidding the
taking of photographs of new guns
of all calibres and particularly -of
guns that have burst while being
fired.
Papers found on fallen German
artillery officers show that the
bursting of the new German guns
is a frequent occurrence and this
applies not only to the ordinary
field guns but even more to the
heavy field guns and howitzers.
German military authorities have
taken all kinds of precautions to
! prevent these dangerous accidents
‘ Instructions have been issued to
the artillerists to keep their guns
scrupuliusly clean and to be very
careful not to use faulty shells. '
