The P.-l. of April 24 has the Jol- i
, , , •
lowing artiele regarding an ai;.'£ted

“Negotiations have been clothed
between H. C. El'liott, mining op- j
crater, and the Fllamar Mining*
Company,-whereby Mr. Elliott cm
tracts to pay $1,000,000 tor the fa-.
nious Ellamar copper mine on
Prince William sound.- Mr. El
liott has entered into a contract al
so to purchase several other min
ing claims in the district.
•‘It is the purpose of the pur- j
chaser to organize a corporation,
for the operation of these proper-1
ties and for the construction of a :
large smelter in the North for the
handling of the ores.”
The local offices of the two
steamship companies are to be
combined and conducted as one
Under the management of Jas.
Lathrop. The details of the iraus
fer have not all been1 arranged,
and until they are full particulars
are not obtainable.
The navv department ha- de
cided to haVe but 01 e navel, wire
less station in Alaska, instead of
two, as was recently authorized by
the department,- owing to the fact
that the expense of installing and
maintaining two stations is no;
justified. The new station will be
a t fsitka.

When Mr. Gelineau1 left f*>r the
coast last ISept. he h&d a surplds
number of silver teaspoons in liis

have been unnecessary as well as
inconvenient, so he left some of

been transformed into pure copper.
Of course all who have seen them
