Smelter Trust Road.
Washington,—Although there is no
verification, at the department of jus
tice of the intention of the government
to proceed agaiust the smelter trust
there is a good deal of talk about the
“motive” which was brought to bear
aga'Dst the concern in the investiga
tion by the bureau of corporations.
There is no doubt entertained here
that ir tne Guggenheim railroad in
Alaska is flui.-hed to the extent con
template!—400 miles into the interior
and aero-s the tracks of the Bruners—
the power of the tr.-st will be increased
by millions of dollars, and competition
there an • elsewheie will be throttled.
it is operations «>l this character
there ami elsewhere that are charged
against the (Juggeuheim Morgau inter
e*t» in Alaska that bring the Smelter
trust within the scope of the Shermau
anti-trust law.
It is believed that the Katallaroad is
owned by the Smelter Trust or by its
du ecto. s, and the fact would bring
them under the Sherman law, accord
ing t-> the decision against the Cbesa
peak Kail road not long ago, handed
down by the United States Supreme
court. This decision was largely on
the lines raised by \V. R. Hearst
again*! the coal roads and their inter
locked railroad int rests and makes it
very probable that the trust can be
convicted in the federal courts A
smelter trust railroad would be in the
same category as a coal trust railroad
Chititu Correspondence
Chititu Creek, July 10—The stampede
of prospectors in the eastern end of
the copper belt this year appears to
lie in the direction of the headwaters
of White River aDd several expeditions
have already crossed the passes and
are now at work in this practically un
explored field.
The Clarence Warner party, operat
ing for the Dillman Co, moved across
the Chittystone divide early in June
and is now somewhere on the western
slope of Mt. Natazhat.
Stephen Birch, accompanied by Prof.
Irving of Tale University, the Williams
brothers and a large packtiaiu will
cross the Skolai Pass about July 18th.
with a view of making a careful ex*
animation of the mineral resources of
the White and Chisana rivers.
Patrick Murphy, who is in the held
for Captain Hartman of Valdez, passed
the mouth of Cbittitu on the 8th, iust.
bound for White river by way of
' Chittystone Pass.
The belief is very general that the
Guggenheim-Morgan syndicate will
ultimately extend the railroad up the
Nizinatotlie rich native-copper belt
of the Chittystone, and possibly across
the divide to Tanana or Yukon waters.
The Esterly sawmill nu Chittitu is
now turning oat 700 feet of finished
lumber a day aud the big flume is
nearing completion. It is estimated
that the Esterly hydraulic plant will
have au uninterrupted run of about
six weeks this aeason aud a sizeable
clean-up is to be expected. The
Reman outfit is also doing a laud
oflice business with their plant on
the Chittitu.
The Donohoe-Barrett outfit is on
the trail for White river. They will
cross the divide by way of the Chitty
stone.
Ocha Potter at last accounts, bad
taken & run in from his camp on the
Chittystone to Elliott creek to receive
Prof. Seaman, of Houghton, Mich.,
who will expert Pottor’s large group of
claims on the Chittystone, To bey
creek, Glacier creek aud elsewhere iu
the eastern end of the belt.
Peter Erickson has completed his
assessment work on the Eldora, Paul
ina, Chitty aud Iowa claims on Glacier
Creek by driving 15 feet of tunnel, un
covering a large fissure vein of very
rich native copper. The vein is 4^
feet wide in the face of the driit. Cbas.
Crary, Wm. Westerly and Al. Doze
also own promising properties in this
section.
Reports from all over the copper
belt indicate that there are more out
fits iu the field this season than ever
before in the history of the Chittyna
valley.
