LATOUCHE MINE TO
EMPLOY 500 MEN
With the price oi copper nearly,
thirty cents, the mining of that
metal has been stimulated to
such an extent that all producing
properties are now being worked
to their capacity'. This condition
is especially noticeable at the
3eatson mine of the Kennecott
Copper Corporation at Latouche.
A few months ago the manage
ment installed a process of con
centrating the metal from the
lower grade ores by the use of
crude oil and so successful has
this been that the mill is to be
duplicated, thus allowing for the
treatment of double the amount
of ore as at prespnt.
The company has just com
pleted a modern bunk house,
which will accommodate 10 men,
and every convenience has been
installed to make the place com*
iortable. There are at present 220
men employed at the mine, but
this number will be increased to
five hundred as soon as the
weather conditions will permit of
the new buildings that are con
templated being erected.—Chit

John \\ . Frame, who operates
a newspaper out at Valdez which
he calls the “49th Star,” is al
ways seeing things with a politi
cal aspect. . In a recent issue he
says: Not only arc the Bunnell
republicans, Charles Herron com
mitteeman, going to hold a con
vention in Alaska this year, but
since it looks like it is almost sure
that Roosevlt is to be the repub
lican nominee at Chicago, the
progressive's arc arranging to hold
^territorial convention. Now
watch Royal A. Gunnison, who
last campaign was head of the
nonpartisans, and see if you can
catch him at any such foolish
ness this campaign. He’s non
partisan only when there is no
republican ticket in the field.
Speaking of the recent slaugh
ter of moose on Kenai peninsula
for use in Anchorage, the Seward
Post says editorially that if con
ditions are not righted in short
order it is not improbable that
the entire western half of the
peninsula will be turned into a
national park, similar to the Yel
lowstone, and placed under guard
of federal troops, which would
put an end to hunting of any kind
within the resrve. “Some of the
backers of this national park pro
ject favor making the whole pen
insula into a park," asserted the
Post. There are herds of consid
erable size in many parts of the
peninsula, but reports from all
available sources indicate that thr
total number left does not exceed
2.500- With a town of 2,00 peo
ple subsisting almost entirely on
the moose meat, the animals on
the peninsual would soon be ex
terminated. The game wardens
say that the present law is too
:lax, and also that the expertise
money is not sufficient to enable
'litem ‘to keep to the field and
watch for violators.
