NEW HANK WILL BE '
EHTARIJHHED AT CORDOVA
The Bank of Alaska, of Skagway,
will open a branch at Cordova, and
Vice-President Willard K. Millery ar
rived here on the steamer Mariposa
:his morning to take charge of the
new institution. Temporary quarters
will be opened in the Borden building

business by August 20. .The property
necupied by the Horseshoe saloon has
been purchased by the bank from
Robert Ashland, and will lie occupied

The plans for the new branch at
Cordova have been under way for
some time, and it has been generally
supposed the bank contemplated en
tering this field, but nothing definite
had been decided by the officials of
the bank until the territorial banking
board had given their formal sanction
to this further expansion of the bank.
The capital of the bank heretofore
has been $75,000 and the surplus
$17,500, but now becomes $85,000 I
and $20,500, respectively, making
the combined capital and surplus of
the bank $105,500.
Among the new stockholders is
Robert Ashland, formerly of Cordo
va who now resides in Seattle. Mr.
Hillery will be the cashier and Miss
Mildred McVean the assistant cashier
at Anchorage, will also be located at
Cordova, coming here on the next
boat.—Cordova Times.
Furnished rooms at Mrs Osland'a.
Prices reasonable. *
