The petition of the'Cordova Cham
ber of Commerce, sent to President
Wilson, praying the government to
construct a branch Itneifrom Mile 39,
on the Copper River & Northwestern
railway, to toe Bering River coal
fields, was today submitted to the
United States Senate and referred to
the committee on Territories, which
will hold a hearing on the matter May
5 th.
The brief is .an elaborate one and
insists that the government has prac
tically prohibited the construction of
railroads in Alaska by private individ
uals, pointing out that it is unjust for
Uncle Sam to build up one community i
at Hhe expense of another.
‘"The truth is," says the petition. 1
"the Bering River coal field has long
been ,the subject of political contro- ;
versy. The most astounding lies j
have been invented about it and re- ]
tailed to the public for political pur- j
poses. ‘The Ballinger-Pinchot con- !
troversy raged about it. The ene-1
rales of the Taft administration used
it freely as a weapon of attack in the
Cunningham coal cases, and the Con
troller bay incident. Its use for such
purposes ought to have passed. The

“THE NEXT DIVIDEND PAYER IN THE VALDEZ DISTRICT”
Aa-<| ■ r>.. rT.,xnnl ■ J The property of the VALDEZ GOLD COM
\j*1TG£LZ llOpCl Ij PANY, (formerly the Cameron-Johnson Com
pany) is one of the best known and most thoroughly proven of the Valdez and Port Wells
Districts today. Consisting of twenty-three (23) lode and three (3) placer claims, it lies in
the heart of the well-known Valdez free milling gold belt, and is near the Cliff Mine, the
Ramsay-Rutherford, the Granite, and other well-known producers.
On this property $160,000.00 has already been spent for development and machinery, etc.
It has not only one ore body but numerous proven ore bodies, and with not low grade, but
high grade ores, proven by several mill run tests.
The enviable position occupied by the Valdez Gold Company in a financial way is indi
cated by their statement of March 1, 1916, which showed that there was not one dollar in
debtedness against the company.
The mine is fully equipped, having two ore mills, crusher, concentrating tables, aerial
tram, etc. A large compressor with other similar machinery has just been delivered on the
ground and this -will be installed at once and mining operations commenced.

Jack MacDougall in Charge of Operations
mer superintendent of the Cliff Mine and formerly with the Ellamar, the Treadwell and other
great mining properties, and recognized as one of the most experienced and competent min
ing superintendents of Alaska.
We Regard This Offer As Gilt-Edged work and to materially , increase the milling ca
pacity without using the net earnings of the mine’s operations for this purpose, and for this
reason I am in position to offer a limited block of this highly desirable stock to the public.
It is the intention to use the net proceeds of the mine’s production—and these should be large
—for the payment of dividends to stockholders.
A _T«l,« Mni* . You people of Valdez know how good this
t\1&S1C3.]1S 1 SK6 ilOllCc property really is, and you know it will be a
big producer. It now offers a great opportunity for you to make money.
The former Cameron-Johnson was reorganized a few months ago in order to improve its
condition and strengthen the company. It is now known as the Valdez Gold Co. The capi
talization is'only $750,000, divided into shares of a par value of 50c per Share. I am authorized
to place a limited block of this highly desirable stock at 40c per share. The Company ex
pects to begin paying dividends early in the fall, and this price will make a big advance in a
very short time.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS! It means MONEY to those that get in NOW!
I am informed that the stock will go on the New York curb very shortly and the price
will undoubtedly start on a steady climb at that time.
Therefore, I cannot guarantee the 40c price to last long, and it won’t; but I will do this:
I will fill orders for Valdez or Alaska up to May 25 at 40c per share. Remittance can be made
by money order, bank draft, or you can send your order without remittance and I will send
certificates for shares with draft attached either to the Bank or to the Wells Fargo Express
office, where you can pay the amount on delivery.
WE PREDICT THIS IS A WINNER! GET IN ON IT AND GET IN NOW!

The petition points out that the
Bering River field, in which the coal
is said to be >sst as good as that in
airy other field, Ss nearest to the mar
kets of the Paeifte Coast, and that
this coal, as well as the oil from the
district, caa be made available
by t'be construction of fifty miles of
road. The coal from this field is
absolutely necessary to the proper de
velopment of the copper mining re
gion,, It is urged.
The government has gone to great
expense in making provisions for leas
ing the coal lands of the Bering Riv
er Held, but It has made no provis
ions for hauling the coal. The dis
tance from the Bering River field to
Cordova is 68 miles, while from the
Matanuska field, to which the govern
ment is building Its road from Sew
ard, is i'85 miles, and the distance
from the Nenana field to Fairbanks is
104 miles.
The cost for the first road is es
timated at $1,000,000; the cost of
the Matanuska line is estimated at
$7,000,000, and the Nenana-Fair
banks route at $3,000,000. These
estimates are based upon the supposi
tion that the government will not de
liberately parallel the lines of an al
ready existing road—the Copper Riv
er & Northwestern—for a distance of
tewnty-nine miles, but would enter
into a traffic agreement with it un
der the interstate commerce laws.
The connection could be built in from
three to six months, while three years
will be consumed in building either
of the roads on which the government
is now working. Bering River coal,
according to government engineers,
can be landed at C ordova for $1.42 a
ton, while the Matanuska coal will
cost $3.38 a ton.

One day without his chum.
The teacher said, “Why, you're alone,
Why doesn’t Willie come?”
“Willie!” sobbed the little boy,
“There ain’t no Willie now.”
“What do you mean?” the teacher

With puzzled, knitted brow.
“Please, sir,” the little boy replied,
