Correspondence.
Spr» iwl lo flu* I’MwPtnot. •
Sunrise, Aug. 3.—Among the
arrivals at this port on the steam
Tyonie last Sunday was O. H.
Sleeper of Boston, president of the
Ready Bullion Copper Co., N. P.
White of this eity, who is superin
tendent of the company, and Capt.
B. Frank Hand, the well known
mining engineer, who i« consulting
engineer for the Ready Bullion.
Captain Hand is well known to
Alaska |>eop.e, as he was one of the
Argonauts of 9H, and has traveled
extensively over the greater part of
the territory. He probably knows
more of the resources of Alaska
than any other man living.
In an interview with him this
morning he said “We came on the
Santa Ana from Seattle to Seward,
thence on the Dora to Soldovia ami
thence on the Tyonie. The trip up
was a pleasant one all the way
through.
I had the pleasuro of stopping
a whole day in Valdez, where I was
shown much courtesy by the lead
business men, particularly by Mr.
Bourkc, editor of the Pkosi’kctor,
who took particular pains to give
me much valuable information con
cerning the mineral development
of the country around Valdez.
I am impressed with the idea
that the near future will show up
some splendid mines, particularly
in copper. I saw some of the best
samples of oopper ore that 1 ever
saw in any country, and as soon
as the existence of paying deposits
itecomes known to the outside
world Valdez will get all the capi
tal she needs for development pur
poses, railroads or anything else.
Valdez is a nice situation for a
town, and seems to be doing a
good business, at least I heard no
kicking. One thing struck me as
peculiar, however, and that was
the fact that a number of the peo
ple seemed to have their little ham
mers out for Seward, and the com
ments I heard were not flattering
to say the least. Personally I
think the condenulation of Seward
and the Alaska Central by the
people of Valdez or anybody else
is l>oth unwise and detrimental to
Alaskan interests.
Seward as a terminal point of
the Kenai peninsula has a distinct
ive field of its own, and does not in
the slightest degree conflict with
Y'aldez, which, as a terminal point,
also has a distinct field. One
thing 1 do know, and that is that
the Kenai peninsula is a veritable
storehouse of mineral wealth. I
speak from personal knowledge.
Seward is nicely situated and Res
urrection bay is one of the finest
bodies oi water on the Pacific coast
The railroad is being pushed ahead
very rapidly and is lieing built
right. It is a good piece of work,
all reports to the contrary not
withstanding.
The Ready Bullion Copper Co.,
of which I am consulting engineer
owns a fine property about iit>
miles north of Seward, and near the
route of the railway.
YVeare here to push the develop
ment of the ledge, and expect to
be ready to ship ore by the time
the railway is ready to handle it.
Generally speaking 1 am pleased
with the outlook fur Alaska, and if
our people would drop their jnstty
jealousies and pull together the
country would improve much tast
er.
One thing we must stop and that
is petty litigation. If grand juries
would ignore some of the trivial
cases thut come before'them, there
would be more money s]>ent for
development work. Personally 1
know' that eastern capital is rather
skittish about investing in a coun
try where a man is liable to be
hauled up on some i>etty charge
unworthy of notice and put to loss
of time and hundreds of dollars of
expense.
