Last of the Experts.
The inspection of the large cop
per properties in the Kotsina and
Chittyna country is now completed
for this season. The last expert to
leave the ground was II. A. Cohen,
of New York. Mr. Cohen intended
to come here early in the season,
hut met with an aeeident, which
detained him and he did not reach
Valdez until early in August, and
was then obliged to use crutches to
get around. Notwithstanding the
crutches he made the trip of several
hundred miles successfully and
will leave on the Excelsior to make
his report.
H is refusal to make anv state
ment in regard to the mineral j>os
sibilities of the country, at this time
gives a favorable impression as to
what his official report will lie in
the matter.
He is well pleased with the coun
try as viewed from the trail, and
thinks the broad valleys will make
fine grazing and agricultural land.
He says the climate is far superior
to that in many parts of the Cana
dian country he has visited, and is
so well pleased with tlie eountrv in
general that he will return next
season.
