KENNECOTT WORKING
ABOUT 400 MINERS
M. J. Sullivan returned on yester
day afternoon’s train from a trip to
the interior, where he reports consid
erable mining activity, and predicts a
bright future for those operating in
that mineral belt.
The Mother Lode Mines Company
at present employes about 130 men
and is pushing the construction work
on a new plant at Shushanna Junc
tion, which will furnish the power
and light for their copper property. A
telephone line from McCarthy to the
mines is also being installed. An ex
cellent auto truck road, for a distance
of fourteen mile, over which will be
transported the ore to the Copper
River railway is being built and will
be finished about August 25. Presi
dent James Godfrey, who recently
arrived from New York, expresses
himself as much pleased with the im
provements under way, and will fa
cilitate the development of this rich
mine when completed.
In doing development work on the
Kennecott-Tjosevig property, a large
body of high grade copper ore was
UNATTACHED ENVOY.

resting from the strain he went

er.
Captain Hulbrecht found a good
body of galena ore at the head of the
Chitina river.
At the Bonanza and Jumbo mines
close to four hundred men are now at
work. The Kennecott Copper Corpo
ration is again turning out its usual
amount of ore and everything is run

Mr. Stannard. On yesterday’s train
twenty-two cars of ore were brought
from Kennecott to Cordova, and will
be transported to the smelter on the
next steamer.—Cordova Times.

TACOMA RIOT PIT
DOWN BY POLICE
TACOMA. Aug. 11.—With more
than 1,000 persons gathered about
the Fourteenth street car barns of
the Tacoma Railway & Power com
pany, shortly after five o’clock yes
terday afternoon, visions of a recur
rence of last summer’s riots occurred
to members of the police department,
as every available man was rushed to
the scene in response to a riot call
sent In by a patrolman. A derailed
car, and a short chase of a sympa
thizer by patrolmen, with a few harm
less missies hurled at a work car,
were the sum total of the “show”
presented for the crowd, which de
rived more fun from hooting and
jeering about fifteen strikebreakers
just arrived from Seattle, than from
any actual demonstration of ill-will.
Nine men were arrested by the po
lice, none of them being striking car
men. A state charge will be placed
against three.
