Interruption in Copper Shipment
Causes Big Increase Due
Soon
A statement of the value of the
exports from Alaska fields for the six
months ending June 30th, 1917, has
been prepared by Collector of Customs
J. F.' Pugh and shows that the va^ue
of the goods shipped out from Alaska
amounted to $22,863,220. This amount
is approximately two million dollars
less than the exports for the corres
ponding period of last year, but this
fact is due .to the interruption of rail
traffic between the Kennecott mine and
Cordova but a tremendous increase is
expected in the last part of the year.
The statement as issued in detail
follows:
Copper ore .$15,007,211
Fish, Salmon . 473,726

GOOD CLEAN-l’P*
FOR MATHISON CO.
Robert Mathison, of the Mathison
Mining Co., of Hope, has made four
clean-ups on ground they are hydraul
icking which amounted to $2300. Jack
Mersey, he says, at the head of Pal
mer creek, has worked through a fault
and again picked up his rich quartz
lead and has a small stamp mill on
the property.
Mathison declared that the princi
pal need of his section is a good wag
on road to Sunrise. The cost of get
ting in supplies at the presnt time
makes mining operations expensive.
Mr. Mersey figures that he must have
quartz running $100 to the ton to make
it pay under present conditions.

FISHERMEN MAY
NOT BE TAKEN
—
Mon Working in Alaskan Fish Can
neries Needed More in the
North
.
The Association of Fisheries of the
Pacific coast has taken up with the
department of war the question of ex
empting Alaska fishermen of eligible
age from registration or conscription.
The department has answered that
Governor Strong has the matter in
hand. Some ten thousand or fifteen
thousand men of registration age, the
Association says, are employed in can
neries and the fish industry generally
in Alaska and may be unable to rogis- '
ter, and it is asked that when these
men neturn in the fall they shall not
be left open to accusation as slackers.
It is also suggested that as food pro
ducers they are more useful as fishers
than sbldiers.
